223. Simplified or not...that's the core principle behind it...no denying that.

You can't be a Baptist....without being Baptized....you know?

And I have been battling Anarchists all night...nearly singlehandedly...

None ever want to admit that they really hate ALL govt....but they will jump in when a Democrat complains and go "yeah yeah yeah....thats right...I hate when "my side" does that..."

I guess it gets to let them feel like they are a "Bigger Fucking Deal" than they are when they can "sidle up".

OR perhaps it makes them feel relevant to show up when Democrats are debating among themselves....to try to influence the outcome in their direction...as it is the only way they can feel like they count.

Which ever it is...its deceitful and pretty pathetic if you ask me...

But the fact of the matter is that Libertarians and Anarchists never think about their ideas in the concrete...the ultimate outcome means nothing as long as they can adhere to this "ideal". Some things are just not that simple...in life there are grey areas.

One need not look any farther than Somalia to get a glimpse of what this "anti-govt" stance leads to ...

I don't think age has anything to do with intelligene, necessarily. Jamastiene Sep 2013 #264

"Anarchy" and "anarchism" are not perfectly synonymous. That, perhaps, is the crux of the problem nomorenomore08 Sep 2013 #206

Yeah actually they are synonymous... VanillaRhapsody Sep 2013 #207

That's the thing though. You keep repeating the dictionary definition of "anarchy" without any nomorenomore08 Sep 2013 #211

BECAUSE "its THE dictionary definition"! VanillaRhapsody Sep 2013 #212

As you've been told by others, a one-sentence dictionary definition doesn't tell the whole story. nomorenomore08 Sep 2013 #216

No the core principle IS they hate all forms of govt. VanillaRhapsody Sep 2013 #219

You support one-party rule??? nomorenomore08 Sep 2013 #221

No...but this website is quite obviously a Democratic one... VanillaRhapsody Sep 2013 #222

Simplified or not...that's the core principle behind it...no denying that. VanillaRhapsody Sep 2013 #223

I will see that and raise this... VanillaRhapsody Sep 2013 #360

Oh bullshit, they're not trying to redefine anything Downtown Hound Sep 2013 #375

Of course....the core principle IS as stated... VanillaRhapsody Sep 2013 #373
