Because that’s what you do isn’t it? You ban people you don’t agree with. Of course… if you stopped taunting me I’d probably just get bored and go away. But instead… you call me names and try to get me to talk myself into a corner.

I know this game.

You try to change the subject… Single out one sentence or segment of a sentence that you can hone in on, misrepresent, build as a strawman then knock down. I won’t play that game.

I completely expect to be banned. However, I have not spammed, threatened or harassed anyone here.

So… When you do ban me… It means that you have banned me to silence me because you don’t like what I say. Which means…

I ultimately win.

No, it means you’re not willing to intelligently engage in discussion. This site is about the reduction of ignorance and you’re its avatar.

Opinions should be different. But they should interact with a consistent set of facts. If you’re unwilling to engage based on the facts that actually exist in this universe you’re not much good to anyone.

How many americans starved during the great depression?

Americans starving during the great depression is against the public interest.

Hello mister oblivious, I already said that I hope you do remain. Of course, I don’t expect that you will ever realize how damaging you really are to your side with your tactics, but I always remember what Voltaire said with his only prayer regarding his enemies. God has answered our prayers with guys like you.

Do you have any idea how ironic it is for someone who claims to be for government employee unions to label themselves libertarian?

I bet you laugh at tea partiers that hold up signs demanding the gubment keep their hand off their dab gum social security too…

I’m sorry, I am a true libertarian. If people want to unionize, that’s their right. End of story.

I do laugh at tea partiers when they demand that the government get rid of all government services except the ones they use. Laughing at hypocrites is the best laughter.

Not laughing at tea partiers is againt the public interest.

That’s a fact. Good thing none did.

So… as a libertarian you don’t find it appalling that the government has grown to such a size as to warrant organized labor?

That’s changing the subject.

We’re not debating the size of the government, but organized labor. Organized labor did not begat the bloated government.

http://www.life123.com/question/How-Many-People-Died-during-the-Great-Depression

The agencies that kept track were unfunded but estimates are about 7 million.

[gonzomax]

How many people died in the Great Depression? - Answers This site says 12 million.
It is amazing how blind you are.

[elucidator]

That fact is against the public interest, citizen. You have the right to remain silent.

One doesn’t have anything to do with the other. I support the right of people to join groups with whomever they see fit, donate their paychecks to whomever they see fit, democratically assist in determining the work rules at their place of employment, and appoint whomever they wish as a negotiator for their contracts individually or jointly with their employers.

Hell, I’m so libertarian I am pro-choice because it’s a logical extension of the Castle Doctrine.

And the american tax system is voluntary, right Harry Reed?

Teachers in my district are forbidden from taking their work home with them by their union. When the bell rings they are in the parking before the students. They are forbidden by their union from working during their lunch. They are required to be given one hour during the school day to do non-classwork. Any work that doesn’t get done while they are on the clock doesn’t get done.

They actually only work six and a half hours a day.

It’s the best paying part-time job in the world.

Hi from a Saturday night in the middle of a typical teacher’s weekend, where I’m spending a lot of time grading student work, running around buying supplies for my classroom with my own money and creating handouts for Monday morning… and running to Kinko’s to make copies of them.

But there’s a Kinko’s about seven blocks from the Capitol here in Madison, so I can get that done on my way to protest tomorrow.

Making liberals look bad goes against the public interest.

The tax system is not the subject of discussion. There are a LOT of things we need to do, like pay down the deficit and cut stupid spending, before we address that.

As a libertarian, I’d support higher tax rates now until the debt is paid down. Any idiot who’s ever had a mortgage knows that the smart financial call is to put as much on that early as you can to save yourself interest.

Too bad the idiots running with Rs next to their name think that the Obama health care bill (estimated to save money) is bad, but foreign wars to fight non-state-actor terrorists (estimated to cost shit-tons of money) are good.

It’s “**HOME **in on”, not hone. I swear, next person to say that near me is going to get smacked.

Yeah you. Don’t worry. What ever you give up now you’ll get back and then some when your union buys the next dem governor.

How can a libertarian support the government forcing it’s citizens to purchase a product?

You are not a libertarian. Just because you call yourself one doesn’t make you one.
