Very brief? 9 minutes?

No wonder you only have 81 subs and HTWW has over 13k+ in under a year.

[reckingmachine]

yes nine minutes is quite brief.

Who cares about the sub level? he may have more but he is cripingly stupid.

If there is one thing this generalizing piece of filth did right in this video, it was keep the lights down on his ugly face!

Disagreeing with a religion is fine and dandy, but when you insult a religion like he did, it only serves to further divide us. Libertarianism is what formed this country, that is a fact. This kid doesn't seem to know what the term "libertarianism" means.

PS. If your hair is in the way don't comb it forward! You little Emo twirp!

[reckingmachine]

I am not generalising anything, I am responding to specific points which people have made to me, Im not a EMO, I dont comb my hair, you didnt respond to anything I said, religion IS stupid. Go play some WOW.

Just one more thing, if she's not talking about communism then what did she mean when she said the govt's job was to take care of us???? Hmmmmmm

[reckingmachine]

"Governments job is to take care of us" could apply too many things, police, fire brigade, health service the army. There is no need to jump straight to communism that is just stupid.

[Marrus1208]

Good job, you visited the one video I've ever posted and generalized yet again. I admit I do love that game, though.

Libertarianism does not = Anarchy. We just recognize that the government is not out to help us, and the less the government is in charge of the better.

I'm not sure where you're from, but judging from your accent, I'm assuming you come from the country that is currently being overtaken by the EU.

We libertarians are trying to save our country's sovereignty.

@alarikmarcus Valuable information lol

[saburius]

Completely agree! You have to understand that Americans (US) are retarded by and large. 1 out 5 high-school students can't read the diploma they get. 85% brainwashed with religion, 40-50% believe the earth is 6000 years old, 1 out 4 are diagnosed with some kind mental illness, 50% of adults can't read well enough to read a story to a child, they no nothing about their history, constitution and government, 67% don't know their economic system, they would do anything for a buck etc. etc. etc.

@Marrus1208 True. I never bought Libertarianism = Anarchy analogy, and I agree that some decentralization is usually good. But I don't agree with Payne's quote, simply because government does several services, many that aren't done effectively by the market.

[Marrus1208]

@iseeallforme Libertarianism does not have to degrade into total anarchy as you suggest. Surely you know that all states that have fooled their citizenry into adopting a powerful central government, including our USA, have been subjugated by the very leaders they put into power. Every time. Without fail. To put it simply, I'm not advocating anti-taxation, just decentralization. "Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one."

-Thomas Payne

[iseeallforme]

@Marrus1208 I have to disagree with the statement "Libertarianism is waht formed this country." No, it is not for several reasons: The slogan was "No Taxation Without Representation," not just "No Taxation", and a libertarian experiment with the Articles of Confederation failed miserably. To be fair, there were bits of libertarianism, but it was mostly a coalition of political beliefs beginning with the Enlightenment that are the root of US.

[alarikmarcus]

Getting onto child labor being permissible, not only would I say that educating a society is good (and no matter how bad US public schools are, wholly privatizing public education sounds hazardous ), but studies have shown that teen job-holding doesn't really even build character or teach them the value of money. In fact, they just get pissed off and bitter like many of their older counterparts, once they realize how stupid supervisors and coworkers can be.

[alarikmarcus]

I'd have to say that my personal opinion is that I kind of like HTWW... sort of. Then again, I kind of like anything that will tear holes in the arguments of pretty much anything, whether I support it or not (in my case, I guess I could identify with Libertarians). As for my position on government and majority rule, I have to side with your point that people on the whole act fucking stupid. No one cares about how GM treats its employees overseas or anyone here, so they cut costs.

@reckingmachine Yes, police, courts, and defense are all constitutional.

[AroundSun]

@reckingmachine "he is cripingly stupid." Says the fat mediocre socialist who lives in moms basement, probably receiving state aid as well.
