bkholdem;

Stefan has some great ideas. There is no need to slander him. He has issues, as we all do. In this case it's just really tragic that on his end, he did not choose to introspect in any way, but decided to go with his preconceptions.

[/ QUOTE ]

I told you as much when I went through the same thing with him last year and you held the opinion 'there was no credence to my view' or something like that.

If you remember I told you to challenge his view and not back down and see what happens.

I am not slandering him. What you yourself described is in fact narcisstic behavior.

I'm not talking about the dispute companies owning land, I'm talking about all the land-owning companies in ACland that you all want to pretend won't exist, and which will have carte blaqnche sovereignty over their territory and operate very much like a "state".

[/ QUOTE ]

What's the problem here?

[/ QUOTE ]

Nothing. If you don't like their rules, you can always STFU & GTFO, right?

[/ QUOTE ]

Yes. GTFO... of THEIR property. The state tells you to STFU & GTFO... of YOUR property.

You keep pretending that the territory you live on is somehow "your property." Unless I have an atlas out of date and missing PVNland, then I don't think your territory is what you think it is.

This whole thing gets thrown out the window when you think you get to redefine the analogy to suit you, i.e.

democracy:dictatorship::AC:AC

Thats not the analogy at all. The analogy is
statism:statism::AC:AC
or
democracy:dictatorship::Molyneux's version of ACvn's version of AC

Its a really dishonest tactic, and you do it while criticizing HIM for dirty fighting?

Wow, in my year of lurking this forum I have never seen somebody get owned as badly as PVN just was.

I'm sure if you visit a government building they'll show you a map with my property on it.

Don't you mean see someone act as much of a douchebag as Jogger just did?

Not every ACist things the same way. Mind blowing, I'm sure.

They won't show you a map that says you are the sovereign owner of any territory. But hey, keep ignoring that reality.

Are you kidding me? Right, wrong, or otherwise, the government will take your land whenever it deems. I'm sure you've heard of "eminent domain." Doesn't sound much like ownership to me.

Why do I care? I never said they would. Simply that they say that I own that property.
