What's your quick-fix solution to the problems in the world today?





Mention what you perceive to be the problem, followed by your solution.

Problem: Proclivity to Tribalism

Solution: Get back to Capitalism (Classic Liberalism)

Reason: You cannot cure (give charity to) anyone else unless you take care of you first. It is the example individuals follow and to paraphrase bin Laden, no one will step in horse shit following a weak horse. Most attempts at cure only lead to new affliction.

When I take care of me and those I love, the world has fewer problems to deal with. But the world isn't content to leave well enough alone, it busys itself stealing my assets to impoverish me and enrich Chelsea Clinton more. So the solution is to cull the Chelseas.

You steal part of my premise and then turn to a Progressive-Socialist final solution...

I found both your posts had shades of objectivism... But it could just be my tinted goggles messing my vision.

What do you mean in your use of the word objectivism?

Rand-Hayek or new-age liberal "objectionable?"

Overcrowded prisons:

Legalize drugs, sex and guns.

General amnesty where non-violent and no-victim criminals are released.

Revamp the law to focus on crimes with clear victims and clear punishments, Apply As Directed.

We could cure the scourge of Libertarianism in America in a month by requiring forfeiture of Social Security and Medicare as a condition of joining the Libertarian party or Tea party.

What is your beef with Libertarians? Who, for the record, are nothing like the Tea Party.

The regulation of guns in India is restrictive... the law does not guarantee us the right to possess guns. The reasoning, control who possesses them to control the crimes resulting from them.

So, I find your proposal.... interesting. Care to elaborate?

I think my main issue is that they can be just as bass-ackwards as any other party.

I loved Penn and Teller...right up until their show "Bullshit" started to try to "prove" that second-hand smoke damage doesn't exist, and that people should be able to smoke anywhere and any time and those people with asthma and those for whom smoke triggers medical conditions are just haters.

I am a gun owner, I own guns and operate them responsibly.

I am an alcohol owner, I own alcohol and operate while under the influence responsibly.

If guns were illegal, it would not be hard to either make my own or buy one on the black market. If alcohol were illegal it would not be hard to either make my own or buy it on the black market.

Since they are easy to make and easy to acquire, trying to limit access to them is impossible for a government agency to do. All that does is risk the lives of law enforcement and pour money into making it look like something good is happening.

Ask yourself if crime rates have gone down, or just "gun" crime has gone down. Do people still die only now from explosives and knives and strangling and other horrible ways to die? Yup. Would I rather be shot to death than stabbed? Yes, I would.

Throb thinks they are hypocrites because when the government takes a portion of their life (in taxes) at the point of a gun, because they argue that the theft was a plundering and not a moral undertaking, that it is unconscionable that they would accept a small portion of it back; it's just unprincipled.

"When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men living together in society, they create for themselves in the course of time a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that justifies it."
Frédéric Bastiat

Gun restrictions are great, for the criminal.


It is always nice to know that you are the only armed one in a robbery...

The Tea Party is an organization that is a section of the Republican party. They believe in lower taxes and less government.

In the last few election cycles, the Tea Party has made some gains in getting into office, but they have also split the Republican party in a way that Tea Party candidates can be insisting on their way only and incapable of compromise.

They have not always been good at expressing this view and it has been inhabited by the more radical elements of that side of the political scale.

This makes two days in a row you've ascribed a position to me, then criticized me for "my" position.

Once again you bring great shame to yourself, your family, your tribe, the USMC, and good ole Sensei K.

Limited government as envisioned by the Founding Fathers, but not yet willing to break away from the two-party system and join the Libertarians by trying to follow the Reagan example of changing the party from within. For this they have earned the slanders not only of the Progressive-Socialist elements that dominate the Democrat Party, but from the Big-Government Republicans who hate Christians and Conservatives.

Not that the Tea Party is terribly Christian or Conservative, they just prefer the power of government to be localized in the States, not centralized in Washington where the proclivity is ever-expanding bureaucracy which is unanswerable to the elected representatives of the people as it is a permanent fixture while mere politician come and go...

Libertarianism is not grounded in reality

Basically, it's an exercise in academic masturbation, with little "real world" practicality. It's not taken seriously anywhere in the world, with good reason.

I get what you both are saying. But American citizens have had the right to bear arms and hence the gun culture that arose from it. But for us, that isn't the case and the number of crimes involving firearms is low.

I can see how restriction can be a waste of resources, especially if the ratio of police to population is unhealthily low.
