I knew to stop listening when you said that evolution can't be proved scientifically. Why should I listen to what you (or any politician) have to say about politics when you don't even know the basics about science?

[BiggsReport]

I knew to stop reading when you said you stopped listening.

Why should I listen to what you write if you are closed to rational discussion?

Religion and religious issues really have no bearing on libertarian ideology. It's a contradiction of terms, unless we're talking about a vote between which should be taught in public schools. The libertarian vote would be; why do we need public schools?

Since you didn't understand in even the remotest fashion what I was trying to convey, I apologize for the ineffective communication.

In any case, there is no point in trying to argue, since you do not seem to be speaking about anything related to the point of my video.

I would consider myself a libertarian and I am very anti-creationist. Saying that evolution makes politicians frown upon individual freedoms is like saying believing in gravity will make politicians frown upon airplanes

Also you sound moronic when you say "evolutionism". Its not a word

[BiggsReport]

So do you agree with spikesmith when he says that if someone is "empirically incorrect" he should be told what to do by politicians? Remember both he and I were talking about economic policy at the time, and economics, as a social science, is almost impossible to use to prove somebody empirically incorrect.

I think Spike lost track of what this was all about actually. As I understand Biggs agrument, would you rather have someone with a strong moral base (however he attains that) represent you in goverment, or someone who believes you are completely disposable "for the greater good". I know what I'd rather have.

Um, humans are apes. And no it was not evolutionist who did that, evolution proves that no race is inferior as we are all the SAME RACE.

[shadoeatheist]

Evolutionism? Are you fucking serious?

[oiuoiu988]

its been a long time since i have heard something as shockingly ignorant as this video

1. darwin is not on your side on this one

2. YOU are the one denying the emergent nature of order. libertarianism recognizes the emergent order that results from free human interaction

3. the neo-liberal/collectivist ideology is entrenched in the pursuit of the INTELLIGENT DESIGN of soiety.

4. saying that evolution cannot be proved scientifically demonstrates a misunderstanding of science and its application.

What I said was relating only to the use of the term 'evolutionist' and had nothing to do with the rest of the video. I don't see how you managed to stretch my one sentence that didn't mention libertarianism into me being ignorant of libertarianism.

[intricatic]

Since you don't seem to understand in even the remotest fashion what libertarianism is all about, I apologize for the ineffective communication. I understand what you're talking about, but I do not understand how you can relate it to libertarianism, in any way. I mean, unless you are implying that the exercise of synthesis, the basis of the idea of social evolutionary, is opposed to libertarianism. I would agree with that. But evolution in science is a different item altogether.

[anavarre]

If I'm an 'evolutionist', should I also be called a 'gravityist'?

[krayzewolf]

Personally whether someone believes in a god or whatever, only sways my vote in a small set of circumstances. By that I mean if a candidate has and will try to force their beliefs whatever they are into any form of law.

Voting for someone solely due to if they are theist or atheist rather than what they have accomplished, their experience, or knowledge of our constitution, can place us in a bad situation. Libertarians want someone who will try to restore our republic regardless of their faith.
