Hey Paul do Objectivists agree on everything? Also where is a good place to discuss Objectivism if you have questions about it?

[PaulMcKeever]

Objectivists agree about a great deal, but there are many outstanding issues where there is disagreement (such as the morality of fractional reserve banking).

Objectivismonline[dot]com is probably the best place to go if you want to discuss Objectivism per se on a discussion board. There are other good sites for Objectivists of course (e.g., aynrand[dot]org, solopassion[dot]com ).

People can take private property not just by force or without knowledge but by means of coertion or deception. Some people may become convinced to relinquish their property by mental manipulation and suggestion. Many marketers of unnecessary objects use this approach all the time, objects which end up in a corner or a trashcan while more endepted. Of course, they are responsible for their permitting themselves to be manipulated.

You imply that the government has a legitimate role in intervening in "defamation", or more accurately, telling untruths. In the US, that premise has proven to be very destructive. For example, we have the FDA threatening violence against companies who make certain claims about their products. The problem is WHO decides what claims are valid and are not. Typically, the criteria for "valid" claims are actually designed to eliminate competition in the market rather than being derivations of truth

Theft and fraud are actually just acts of aggression. Your body is your property, is the key insight.

@johnnowak I don't know where or how to draw the line but if you kept sleeping with her while you set up house elsewhere and had started cashing out assets and diverting the return...

If you infected her with something I think she'd find a jury to penalize you. Where you are, could you choose between a judge and a jury for the civil suit?

As far as law, what were the terms of that contract? What parts would be considered un-enforceable.?Will the courts uphold the church parts?

point me to them please.

You are barking at the wrong tree... I've studies Rand, Peikoff and Kelly. I know all about what you are saying. You are strawmaning me, but above all, you are forcing me into your word nazi speak. I'm not a dogmatic fool nor an absolutist. I also don't believe in mind independent ethics, and I'm a determinist, not a free-willer. I don't want to be a hero. I don't want to sacrifice myself in a you or me scenario. But it doesnt have to be you or me. It can be us, meaning, you and me.

dakshinamurti cut your self up and feed the meat to the hungry !! the point is to not sacrifice yourself to others or others to yourself!! if you want to be a hero and that is your highest virtue go for it !! i conceal carry and if i was in the unrealistic situation of sacrificing my self to say save a room full of kids from being murdered by a crazy gun man i would how ever in reality i'm more help to them alive than dead as i could engage him and stop him.. get it!!

[carveawoodeneye]

no it's as simple as you the customer buying from a vender will employ my services (i have a proven track record) to insure quality of the product . just as i will use your services (with your proven track record) to ensure the rule of law is being properly delivered from the judge to me!!

[carveawoodeneye]

first off i am a student of objectivism!! this is the first time i have disagreed with you !! you can't have a Laissez-faire capitalist system with the government controlling/defining equal value!! as for fraud a free market will limit that ebay is the closest example the individuals exchanging goods rate each other!! also not every value exchange should be equal IE if some one is breaking into my house to steel my computer i will take their life not equal but i don't know his full intentions!!

CANADA (in all capital) is a corporation registered in WDC. When your parent registered you, they consented, ignorantly, to deprived you of your common law rights, You became a citizen of the corporation, under it status and code (Admiralty Law), that are law for consenting party's. Then there's Canada the land with true rights, No victim no crime. See If they will charge you under the not Capitalize name that is on all government doc. D license and all legal documents. Wake up world!
