@hamobu "For some reason I don't think that youtube will let me post links. "
Considering all the links I have posted, even one in reply to you, I don't think the problem with links is youtube.

We live on a raft that requires that one of us will to jump into the water and swim for an hour and a half, every 15 minutes...

Disappointed you cited the Heritage Foundation my friend. Agree with everything, but why that bias GOP source?

@leafwatch My statement on Somalian people came from an article I read in which people on the street were interviewed. you can find the similar article with the same information on BBC news site. It is called Profile: Somalia's Islamic Courts. For some reason I don't think that youtube will let me post links.

@hamobu You have the usual collectivist disease of speaking for whole groups as if individuals within said groups were of one mind. Thanks for telling us all what "they" would prefer. And in your arrogance you are sure you know my "system" of advocacy, and that you have "proof" that my "system" does not work. Mr/Ms. Statist, you have thousands of years of history proving that coercion never works except, temporarily, for rulers at the top. Wherever individual liberty is respected it works

@leafwatch Not sure if you are talking about Islamic courts union. When that formed, Somalis were overjoyed that they could go down to the Market without having to pay armed gangs. They would rather live under Islamic tyrants than anarchy that you are advocating. Truth is that your system does not work. It is not that you have not proven to that your system works. It is that it has been demonstrated that your system does not work. The proof is in the pudding.

@hamobu Wrong again. Does your cluelessness never embarrass you? After civil wars and foreign invasions Somalia formed a coalition government in 2009. The real question is why you have been so easily duped into believing it is in your self interest to push for coercive government everywhere on earth. Unless you are part of the 1% at the top of the food chain, you will live the rest of your life as a controlled serf under one authoritarian regime or another. State religion security blanket?

@leafwatch Somalia has been without government for 20 years. How long will you blame prior government for a non-working system. A problem with debating a libertarian is that no matter how obvious the failure of free market it, they always find some way to blame some government.

@hamobu Child, freedom is an social ethic based on personal ethics, not a magical formula to easily replace the systemic chaos of tyranny. You apparently assume you & most people are not be capable of that personal ethic, so you want a substitute elite that is supposed to embody ethics you fear ordinary people can't/won't. You live in a nightmare world where armies and police are perverse substitutes for character and ethics. I'm sorry for you. To have no hope for a better world is sad.
did you notice that when there are riots in the western controlled countries the media always talks about anarchy and voilence, but when its in countries in the middle east its always the people try to break free...lol

I completely agree with almost everything Stefan espouses. The simple solution is that there are certain human rights that cannot be violated by an individual or a group, corporation or government. When we adhere to this TOTALLY, then and ONLY THEN will we start to see our world begin to heal.
