Why is it true that there are consistently threads regarding aspects of AC or libertarianism? Why do either of these ideologies arouse so much discomfort as to be put to the test at all times?


[/ QUOTE ]

Because they are very naive, appealing to the uneducated and very dangerous.

Just because you can't hold your weight in a debate against any ACist or libertarian on this board doesn't give you an excuse to insult them. Maybe you should just stick to arguing the thiests in SMP.

The fact that you don't seem to understand is that most people are perfectly fine paying and levying taxes, so it's not really horrific or "evil" or whatever else you'd like to claim it is.

So because group A is OK with action X being forced on them group B should be OK with it? Your justification is an appeal to majority fallacy.

I'm sure that liberals dislike hearing support for a system that denies goods, services and equality to those whom they believe need it more.

You've been gone too long. No libertarians or ACists here have ever advocated a system that denies goods and services to anyone. But you knew that. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

This is good stuff. Intentions are all that matters. "Don't worry sir, it's OK! I'm shooting you in the head because of the soverignty of the individual! Rest easy."
