    I try to warn Christian's about this. I believe that Christianity will see a decline in the United States like the rest of the first world. Many Christian's have taken the violent statist reactionary stance to trying to stop these issues. Unfortunately by doing so they are legitimizing...

    NSA data leaked to der Spiegel: EU offices bugged, EU officials not amused

    This is the closest I could find: "Obama uses Berlin speech to calm German anger over NSA"

    Ted Cruz to Obama: Don't give weapons to people who hate us

    Would you define "sovereign" for me? Using dictionary definitions I do not see how American people are sovereign, nor how the Constitution of the United States makes the American people sovereign. The Constitution asserted that slaves be returned to their masters. I do not see how an...

    Ted Cruz to Obama: Don't give weapons to people who hate us

    Either way, you aren't even taking the time to cite actual instances of hypocrisy on the part of Mr. Cruz. He's a Republican, I wouldn't be surprised if there are a myriad of possibilities. Instead you and wing2000 resort to insinuations of hypothetical hypocrisy citing events that...

    Ted Cruz to Obama: Don't give weapons to people who hate us

    I've seen plenty of partisan hacks attempt to obfuscate current discussions by asserting hypocrisy between a statesman's positions over a long tenure in office, but resorting to insinuations of hypothetical hypocrisy while a person would have been in high school... That is a new one for me.

    Ye Olde Libertarian Pub

    I'm aware of these things. From what I have seen emigration is an Achilles heel for the embarrassed republicans, racists, and xenophobes that have attached themselves to the libertarian moniker. We'll see though, maybe I've findally found a couple who can explain the libertarian philosophical...

    What aspect of libertarian philosophy are you basing advocating physical force to prevent me from associating with individuals who are currently a certain distance away from me? How do you propose to carry out physical force against these individuals? Do you advocate that enforcement will be...

    In my opinion bitcoin goes big or goes home. I think it will either lose almost all of it's value or be worth thousands of dollars a coin. Either way the cats out of the bag and crypto-currencies are here to stay. I think it's a matter of if network effect makes bitcoin the new Facebook and...

    It sets a precident but I don't think it's going to be a super quick thing in the US. I don't think the long term outlook for the US economy is good, but I don't think the short term out look is Cyprus bad. I'm definitelly not giong to throw more money at BTC then I can afford to lose. I'm...

    My roommate actually got a few at 38 when that dip happened. I didn't think they were going to fix it that fast. As I sit here BTC just hit 100. If it holds throughout the day that's going to probably get some news. Probably more then the billion dollar market cap. Encryption, crypto...

    I probably should move some money to Dwolla and then into an exchange just in case. I'm making a point only to use money that if I lose it all it's not a big deal. My roommate and I have an order in for an ASIC (could be a scam) so we can try our hand as some mining. You're absolutely...

    I think I ranted about this too you in PM MacFall, but I'm going to do it again. It's particular frustrating because it's not like what I hear a lot of people say. "I knew I should have bough x stalk when it was at price y. I just never pulled the trigger" No, I went through a month long...

    Whose upset that they didn't figure out how to get money out of Dwolla and buy bitcoins when they were five dollars a BTC? <points-at-self>This guy</points-at-self>

    Ayn Rand's Objectivism Summarized in Her Own Word

    Excellent a definition of fairness. Already so much father along then I have ever gotten with others. Please prove that patents are free from self-interest, prejudice, or favoritism. Also since you are dealing in facts please provide the objective value of what is being offered by the patent...

    Ayn Rand's Objectivism Summarized in Her Own Word

    I haven't tried to do that nor have I seen anyone do that here. I believe it's a threat of violence. I don't think one should be free from penalties because of violence or the threat of violence. As I said, I'm not a pacifist. Or you can look it up here: "when a proposition which requires...

    Ayn Rand's Objectivism Summarized in Her Own Word

    I'm not surprised that you have only encountered people who have not developed their moral and political philosophies to the point that they can do that. It makes little tactical sense in many situations for person A to call out person B for nebulous platitudes because person A also wants...

    Ayn Rand's Objectivism Summarized in Her Own Word

    You keep seeming to miss it... "I am curious about your opinion on when property should enter the public domain." "I simply want to know your opinion on time frames for property entering the public domain." "I don't care about laws on the subject. I simply want to know your opinion."...

    Ayn Rand's Objectivism Summarized in Her Own Word

    When I think they're pertinent. Primarily when discussing math and hard sciences. If that's the case then you're statements about time frames and property strike me as being very odd. I used IP law primarily in an attempt focus answers that you seemed hesitant to provide, but since...
