    Epistemic coherence. Asking someone to prove why they should not be allowed to do something is asking them to prove a universal negative. First come, first serve; finder's keepers and contract are the only non-arbitrary relations between various persons and materials. Of course what is...

    The LOGIC as to why gay marriage should be ILLEGAL

    People making these arguments presume a lot - for example, that they have an understanding of political organization, theory, philosophy and economy as well as a vast knowledge of present social organizations and the motivations of presently existing people. Because whenever you say, "they...

    It's an ordinary figure of speech.

    As I indicated earlier, I don't believe there really are rights except for contractual rights. 'Right' is at best a metaphor for liberties, which are not rights but - well, liberties. That is literally what right and duty mean. A liberty is different than a right. Preventing someone from a...

    Absolutely, there has never been real laissez-faire in this country.

    Nor does regurgitating 200 year old radical cliches.

    No, they simply use fiat and regulation to make it a fiction. Private property is the right to control, regardless of other people's opinions and your relative income. Property held under threat of expropriation any time the so-called 'democracy' decides otherwise is not property, any more...

    For one, I only take 'right' to be metaphorical language, since the only meaningful use of the term 'right' I have ever heard is the corollary of a duty which is established by contract. That being said, my views on justice are (somewhat) simple. I take the view that justice is, and can only...

    When do you think this reccesion will end?

    No, that's a secondary effect caused by government regulations that enabled ridiculous amount of leverage. The recession and collapse itself were directly the result of inflation, which caused capital consumption as well as misallocating resources into unprofitable investments.

    Any socialist who has any right to the name has to deny elementary economics. This is also true of the market socialists and interventionists. There is no logical replacement or coherent method of 'improvement' upon the price system and private ownership of production and goods, from an...

    The Western World doesn't realize a lot. I'm not so arrogant as to think I can cause the entirety of human knowledge to spring from my brow like Zeus. Excuse me for not being an anti-intellectual with delusions of grandeur.

    All conflicts in reality are over the disposition of material resources. If a person does not have private property, they have no freedom whatsoever. No government has ever made anyone 'freer'.

    Yes. Socialism and democracy are both horrible ideas, and have long been exploded by economics and political economy (respectively). Again, Enlightenment fantasies.
