The Right to Discriminate (page 2)

1) Posting other's material without attribution is deceptive and unethical (and sloppy).

2) Yeah, I do get riled up by bullsh!t like this.

Now now ps...you should not discriminate against me...you must be tolerant..live and let live

What was the point of posting something like that? Did you actually find it informative? Did you discern any of the gaping holes in it? DId you think it would benefit anyone, or were you simply chumming to see who would bite?

More from said wingnut's home page:

Libertocracy is a polycentric free enterprise government and socio-economic system whereby sovereign individuals join together by mutual consent in a civilization that respects and defends the freedom, dignity and rights of all people equally. In Libercratic society people live by the rule of sovereign individual freedom, where a person is free to do anything that one chooses as long as it's not imposed on others and doesn't infringe upon the equal right of other individuals to the same freedom.

Libertocracy includes all other forms of government or non-government (anarchy) that respects individual freedom in an environment where people must govern themselves through consensual contracts.

Hey, I liked The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, too, but not even Heinlein thought anarchy was a sustainable form of government.

You people are so easy to rile up

Tut tut, Ruby, how could you do such a thing. Englishman.

However, Adolf Hitler, Charles Manson, Joseph Stalin, and Ted Bundy all believed that 1+1=2. So, you shouldn't believe it. Ah, the "tolerant" left, eh?

Like most of your posts, that made sense... to you.

I completely agree with RubyTuesday (or at least what she cut-and-pasted.)

Individuals should have the right to discriminate against anybody for any reason. The government should not.

Spoken like a straight white male born in the late 20th-century in the West...

"You came into the world armed to the teeth. With an arsenal of weapons, weapons of privilege, economic privilege, sexual privilege, racial privilege. You want to be a pacifist, you're not just going to have to give up guns, knives, clubs, hard, angry words, you are going to have lay down the weapons of privilege and go into the world completely disarmed."

Utah Phillips quoting Ammon Hennacy
