Oh and I don't have ... ( 2 weeks ago by FatherTime89)
Oh and I don't have counters for everything because I didn't do all the research.
I guess it was naieve of me to think everything was that simple.
As for Penn, I ... ( 2 weeks ago by FatherTime89)
As for Penn, I don't like carrying stuff either, not my wallet, not a pencil, not my cell phone that I almost never use. Not even a flash drive that I occasionally need.
Can't I just keep a stockade of rifles and never take them out of the house?
Well think of the ... ( 2 weeks ago by digitised)
Well think of the cost for destroying that wetland...
Losing life, property, jobs etc
Cost is often never considered by laypeople.
Whats the cost of NOT doing something, as opposed TO doing something?
University costs lots of money...but what is the cost of NOT going to university? Would you be better of going rather than NOT going?
Apply that thinking to the wetlands...if i buy it and ruin it...how much will i get sued by the community when a hurricane arrives?
Id be better not using it.
yer economics is ... ( 2 weeks ago by digitised)
yer economics is kind of weird
Its counter intuitive in many ways, since people assume that the way to fix something normally involves giving govt the power to control income or ownership and getting them to tweak the details.
However this nearly always creates the opposite effect.
Minimum wage makes people poorer through inflation, govt control of land kills the environment, socialised medicine creates enormous queues and increases costs.
Im not blaming the govt, its simpy ignorance of econ.
Ok instead of ... ( 1 week ago by digitised)
Ok instead of minusing me, why dont you guys state specifically why i am wrong?
I study economics at uni, ive read politics, philosophy and econ for years and i really do have a good understanding of the issues.
If you feel that im so incorrect then dont hide behind the comment ratings, just speak up and discuss the issues.
Im sure i could easily knock up some videos explaining the models and reasons so you can see visually why such policies are harmful.
Ignorance wont get you anywhere
Not really, ... ( 1 week ago by digitised)
Not really, libertarianism still has govt and the govts role is to protect individual rights. Therefore a police force and court system is necessary (the taxes that fund this are called 'necessary evil')
You are referring to anarcho-libertarianism in which there is not even a govt or law court and people solve disputes with the second amendment.
There is absolutely no taxes in this system, but its not a popular ideology since it pretty much ends civilisation lol
True libertarianism ... ( 1 week ago by walterglanz)
True libertarianism, like communism, is a useful idealistic construct. Penn & Teller's Cato Institute is in reality about corporate propaganda.
[resp. to bc9021010011:
"Neo-Con Republican = no Social Security, no labor unions, no minimum wage, no worker safety regulations, no universal health care, no environmental protection, no regulation of corporations, no civil rights protections, no antitrust laws.
Libertarian = same as above, but you can get high and fuck whatever you want."]
In case you haven't ... ( 1 week ago by GOPpersona)
In case you haven't noticed, most of the people commenting lack the knowledge to understand why you're 100% right.
Yeah I didn't ... ( 1 week ago by GOPpersona)
Yeah I didn't understand what legalizing those would do until I realized how much we spent to make them "controlled" substances, and just how effective the feds are controlling them in the first place.
Perish the thought ... ( 1 week ago by mrbhave)
Perish the thought of laying off thousands of government employees all at once - that might give new meaning to "going postal" =)
Pro corporate ... ( 1 week ago by FatherTime89)
Pro corporate propaganda? Yeah sure and all you do is say the same old stuff whilst using different accounts to give the illusion that other people here agree with you.
And what do you mean no civil rights protection? Libertarians believe that stuff, they also believe that peace is the best way to go unlike neo-cons.
Ok im user ... ( 1 week ago by DigitalEconomist)
Ok im user digitised on my new account, i guess i didnt realise how misunderstood economics really was... so for the last day ive been on imovie putting together 2 videos on the minimum wage which are now just about uploaded to youtube so you can take a look.
I was quite shocked how out of touch and misinformed people really are about it all. I guess my education has shown me so clearly how things work that it just suprises me to see people completely getting things so backwards and 'certain'.
For Penn to appear ... ( 1 week ago by VimisiDigitalMedia)
For Penn to appear on Glenn Beck, without alluding to Beck's BELIEF in (and promotion of)John Edward (the psychic fraud) disappoints me beyond words! If I missed a confrontation between Penn and Beck on the John Edward topic, PLEASE let me know! If Penn knows that Beck tryed to TRASH RANDI while John Edward was a guest, and doesn't take the opportunity to confront him about it, well then PENN JUST PLAIN SUCKS for being a little "chicken-shit"! That's my comment, and I'm sticking to it!
The neo-cons are ... ( 1 week ago by shanklinmike)
The neo-cons are big government ex-democrats who got tired of the dove tinge and brought their hawk views over to the republican party. Bush is a neo-con, he increased Medicaid, NCLB, Federal spending was higher under a neo-con than any other democrat! You have it backwards. The paleo-conservatives are for minimal government and a free market system that forces the rich to fight for our dollar. The neo-cons are economic liberal fascists along with a war tinge!

Yes "Libranianism" Is Important!1876 is a well known year in the history of "Librarianism".The American Library Association was formed, as well as The American Library Journal,Melvil Dewey published his decimal based system of classification, and the United States Bureau of Education published its report,"Public libraries in the United States of America; their history, condition,and management."
The American Library Association continues to play a major role in libraries to this day!
Have you seen the ... ( 6 days ago by FatherTime89)
Have you seen the clip of penn and teller talking about the library of congress? (Don't worry they don't insult it or anything).
Thanks!On time ... ( 6 days ago by cjanne9)
Thanks!On time somebody stand up for us!"
The "Librariens" often employed translators and copyists in large numbers, in order to render into Arabic the bulk of the available Persian, Greek, Roman and Sanskrit non-fiction and the classics of literature.Many of these libraries were destroyed by Mongol invasions.Libraries of Chinguetti in West Africa, remain intact and relatively unchanged even today.
But Why don´t mr Gillette mention it?I just wonder?
libertarian is like ... ( 5 days ago by ltgrandmaps3)
libertarian is like conservatism economics with the atheist qualities...i am a republican but i still am more of a libertarian. Like i am ULtra reagan economics but i support stem cells, i am pro-choice, and i support gay marriage
I have so much ... ( 4 days ago by johren86)
I have so much respect for Penn even if I don't always agree with him.
That everyone should help one and another is a cornerstone in any society.
But I often get the feeling that libertarians are just one step away from being anarchists.
But that probably just media messing with my head :/

They are, it's just that one step that makes all the difference.
the difference ... ( 1 day ago by ketogenesis)
the difference between my generation and my parents generation is that my generation was raised with the idea that government issues are only solved at a government level and the people of "higher status" will take care of everything. Back in the day, everybody felt like they had to get involved with politics and political news, now, my generation has distanced ourselves from politics because we feel powerless, and increasingly it has become true that yes, we are becoming more and more powerless
and so why even ... ( 1 day ago by ketogenesis)
and so why even bother caring, if we dont even matter? a vote doesn't seem to matter to a person who thinks the system is rigged anyways.
libertarianism ... ( 1 hour ago by emwes88)
libertarianism would create anarchy, just because the majority is good doesnt mean theres a lot of evil that would come out if they had the chance. the majority of the good would not want to stop the evil as individualds - 'someone else will do it'
