@Huboons You must realize how pitiful you sound. You really want to come out on top of this and yet you have nothing to say. All you can do is pretend to understand something I said. Just slow down, concentrate and try to type out a clear and concise message. Try to make yourself believable. You can't possibly hope to get away with this claim that you clearly know me and understand the flaws in my reason when I have only asked you to clarify a question.

[Huboons]

@TheWillIamLee87 Actually its a very simple moral question that requires no context at all. But you did actually answer the it, and confirmed everything I said about your philosophy. And after all that bitchy noise protesting that I couldn't possibly know anything about it.

@Huboons Who are? What kind of tax? Income tax? Capital gains tax? Taxed when you buy cigarettes or food or video games? There are tons of ways to be taxed. We must have some for the government to be able to work. As to what kind of work a government should be doing, well, that would depend on your view of the limitations of government. Are you a libertarian or a liberal or maybe a social conservative. Your question is very much meaningless due to the immense amount of detail it neglects.

@TheWillIamLee87 Should I be taxed?

@Huboons Not one word in my comment pointed to my own ideals. I was simply claiming that judgmental bitches like yourself are too intellectually dull to see the world in any terms other than black and white. As expected of someone on your level, you miss the point, label me with probably the only meaningful term that you could siphon from your pitiful mind, then speculate about my philosophy and how I see others. Very impressive, only a truly arrogant dullard could contrive such a response.

@TheWillIamLee87 Actually just the opposite is true. I don't want anyone "calling the shots" for anyone else. That's what collectivists like yourself want. In fact it is the basis of your philosophy that your morality be forced on others.

@Huboons wow reading this comment and then your previous one its almost like you are trying to be funny. Talking about the consequences of judging others in the previous comment and then so blatantly judging someone in this one. But you can't really help it I suppose, in order for a world to be so black and white you have to have people like you calling the shots...

@Huboons LOL :D

@2011rosarot Sorry, there is immoral and moral and there is no middle ground. You want there to be so you can act immorally and not recognize it as such. Your irrational opinion is based on your need to excuse your own immoral behavior.

Continued: Judging people is wrong because it turns us into unhappy people. Discernment and seeing though people, however, is good. For instance, it is a good idea to keep away from negative and nasty people as much as possible. But that is not the same as judging them.
