The link to Cato on the population of libertarians (pg 17)

As a side note, I feel that to sidestep all of the factors that go into criminality and the studies into the cause of violent crime in favor of one man's conclusion toward it is irresponsible. It is in similar fashion to the notion portrayed by many libertarians that all things in society can be boiled down to a simple economic argument. Clearly human beings and our societies are more complex than this portrays, and to assume that one factor of many can explain any given circumstance is disingenuous or naive. As to libertarian ends vs. libertarian means, I personally feel the two aren't as easily cleaved apart as others do.

I have a feeling you were a social democrat once.

[ThePunkReturns]

@lookit87 I came into libertarianism and later anarchism from the left, so I probably do have a different perspective than some others on here.

[OtherJacobSpinney]

Ha! That libertarian population thing is the same point I made in my 3rd video. :)

[ThePunkReturns]

@OtherJacobSpinney Yeah, I was uploading my video in one tab and watching yours in another. I laughed when you got to that part. lol

This guy is very logical. He needs to start talk about conspiracy theories.

Term of the day "Confirmation Bias"

I want to believe it, therefore it must be true.

[wizkid2000]

This makes me wonder how many groups could be converted to libertarianism and yet aren't simply because people don't think they will listen.

This whole topic has caused me a lot of drama recently LOL

I've seen that creep sucking on stodles's dick for over 2 years now, his and stodles problem is that now blacks are coming in the "works place" and are now competition (so much for the free market)

In 30 years or so these two will change their position not because they were wrong but by then black and Hispanic will make-up the over all majority group.
