@jjevans2009

Wow another list of googled scientists whose job it is to push the panic button. You hear "Scientist" and assume their motives are pure and wouldn't dare say something is solved just to push an agenda. Those aren;t even all climatologistsYou're telling ME, MY sources now? Desperate attempt to give yourself credibility you don't have.

How bout the lead author of the IPCC report John Christy, or the co- founder of greenpeace Patrick Moore?

@MirageScience NO WAY...Gingrich all the way!!!

Just kidding! Ron Paul will get my vote!

[MirageScience]

@quinnrasta We can both vote for Ron Paul. xD

@MirageScience I am with you, I think you have a tendency to argue points that have been agreed upon. I am looking for something much better as well and a stateless is not an option,so instead of asking for world peace, I go with the option that protects me and my liberty in a realistic sense.I did not mean to call YOU delusional,just the the thought of land without the state.The start, is limiting the government and move down from there. Take care, I apologize for any disrespect

[MirageScience]

@quinnrasta I sound like 10 but now you sound like you are wineing. If you didn't want shit thrown abck at you you shouldn't have called me delusional. No, I don't think there will be world peace and I don't even think any western nation will be stateless in my life time unless you include a collape senario. As to Davids time line I don't know... I'm not some dumbass because I think we can have better than what you think we can have, I'm not calling for utopia.

[quinnrasta]

@MirageScience Now you are just being a dumbass...as I STATED BEFORE, I agree with much of what you say, but you sound like a beauty queen bimbo that says all she wants is "World Peace" do you subscribe to the thought of world peace? Is it realistic? Does David really think we will get to no government in our lifetime? Maybe in your lifetime,it seems that your childish temper puts you at about 10. I don't worship the state, but I it is currently what I have to live in

[MirageScience]

@quinnrasta my delusion is shared by David Friedman, and I'm sure you know who he is if I say he is Milton Friedman's son. Sorry I'm not a state worshipper, you should really get rid of your religion.

@quinnrasta Your course is to charge the criminals in court with an agreed up judge between your dispute resolution agency (dro) and the defendants. Dros are incentivised not to have was obviously and they would ahve relations with others. If found guilty you would be given rights to compensation which you could sell to a contract buyer for a cut. If the criminal doesn't pay they would be outlawed or black balled as no dro would want to protect criminals that cost them.

[MirageScience]

@quinnrasta your course is to go to your defence agency who in all likelyhood would have relations with the defence contractors of the criminals. If they are found guilty by a privatly funded judge accepted by both agencies then you would be given the right to compensation which you could allow legally for your defence agency to go after for a cut of the returns. If the criminals cant be made to pay they will be labled outlaws and not protected by law from anything including murder.

@MirageScience I do agree with a lot of what you say, but who protects my property, if I cannot? Meaning if my family and I live and 15 people want to rob me of my possessions, what is my recourse? Is it up to me to round up a posse of 20 people to go get my things? Are we back to social darwinsim where the strongest survive? The problem with constitutional republics are the people...as would be in the case in the anarchist state. Your delusion is good but not realistic,in the US
