If you see licenses as some flaw in my Libertarianism, then explain your argument. Why should the State be the one who decides who is qualified and who isn't? Isn't that the consumer's decision? I am somewhat surprised that I even have to point this out. The reason that licenses exist is not becaus...

And how does this equate to paying "no taxes"? Give it a few more presidents, they are all working on it (and obviously the voters are now so conditioned to believe that paying taxes is wrong that they rather bankrupt the country than actually pay for everything the state does on their be...

First, obviously you didn't notice the LINEAR line from 0-50 (5 Decades)? Guess you skipped over that? Second, the Linear Line from 50-60 (A whole DECADE)? Guess you missed that also? That's only an anomaly of the graph size with the graphic you guys have. You (and others who have remarked on it) a...

[quote="AbyssalMageAnd why can't they (Lawyers, educated people, people, or, hell, even human beings) create laws (Punitive Damage Laws) to, by definition (I even looked it up for you), punish people for serious wrong beyond physical harm compensation?[/quote] Basically because they are civilia...

Who does deserve it? Really don't follow your logic. Victims obviously deserve it. Lawyers don't work for free. Missing the logic in your question. I do not really want to get too involved in a pointless debate, but there are two parts to the damages. First is the damage suffered by the victim. The...

There is a distinction between medically dead and brain dead. They are not the same. True, though in this case the only relevant issue is if the boy is -legally- dead or not. The Canadian judges ruled that he is, and that as such there is no requirement to continue to keep the body operating until ...

Mage, you must support death panels then, huh? Who are you to decide who lives or dies? *blinks* That attack rather came out of nowhere Fyyr. Also, I am guessing that before we can even attempt to decide -who- lives, we first have to decide -what- life is. And where to draw the line (and if a line ...

Blacks were of course not "men", or equal, as Jefferson clearly demonstrated; all of the "men" were in agreement on this point so they didn't waste time belaboring the point. They didn't really think that "every one was equal under the law." Tudamorf, you are splitting...

I am debating with two fricken Commies about social justices, and I sound more Commie than either of them. Actually no. You are not talking to communists and none of you all sound at all like communists anyway. Not even socialist (though that term is generally used as if it is interchangeable with ...

If I tax 108% of your profits, then not only am I taking all of your profits, I'm charging you an extra 8%. So even if you run a non-profit (most people won't), you're going to go out of business unless you infuse that 8% from an outside source every year. Or if you can cook the books so it looks l...
