I wish you are my college philosophy professor.

[stefbot]

Thanks, but if I were, I doubt I would be able to speak so freely...

@FlailingJunk True, that's the dirty little secret of human management. If all the cattle ran for it at exactly the right time together, when the fence was still open...

@Weezzuul Sounds like your just jealous.

[Hashishin13]

@candburd All of that is irrelevant, the "just leave" arguement can be countered by a simple:

"fine, but I'm leaving with my property, how about that?".

A statist knows immediately that a government always tries to dominate as much territory as possible and thus none would ever dream of allowing secesion.

look at me trying to be hip

xD

[guessone]

yes but it can be done

[candburd]

I find it extremely annoying when people just say we can leave a country, these people have no idea how difficult it is to just move. It is a seriously pricey thing to do, so if youre really cash strapped theres no chance, and there are so many barriers and loops you have to get through, so for example if youre uneducated or dont have a partner of the country you want to move to, moving is near impossible, and even if you do have those things like i do, its still immensely hard.

good video, even though I get the feeling this isn't really a conversation with stef and a classroom. Seeing how stef is the kind of person who writes reviews for his own books.

What college?

Who is the professor?

[utubehayter]

Actually I have no problems with stef. He is a smart man, very passionate (sometimes a bit over the top), but he is reasoned. If that pisses you off - I am delighted. After all, its my mind, my thoughts and if you got a problem with that - well tough luck!

BTW, he is not the only one that likes to hear his voice.

[utubehayter]

if your principles are not practical, then there is something wrong with your principles. If you really think there is something impractical about them - then you should not agree with the principles either.

Look - you seem to think that it is a matter of preference whether to be atheist or not. But for Stef it is a matter of reason. Same thing goes for free society. Its is not that we prefer freedom, or like it - it is that for human prosperity and avoiding violence freedom is required
