Not really. Libertarianism is a more modern and radical evolution of classical liberalism of the sort espoused by Locke, and Hobbes to a degree. Those writers such as Nozick and Hayek, who are considered the 'founders' of libertarian thought, acknowledge the role of classical liberal thought as...

No I really think she needs to lose some weight.

Westminster system ftw

except for Wilson Tuckey that fucking scumbag prick.

For fucks sake; I have ALREADY said that this is acceptable because a homeowner creates no obligation of fairness to anyone by keeping to themselves. This is DIFFERENT if you choose to positively interact with people. Are you deliberately being disingenuous or are you just a dumb shit? My...

Look this is missing the point. You can't claim that improvements are solely due to a free market economy. Whether remittances were 'necessary' or not is irrelevant. The fact is that they are PROPPING UP the economy which would otherwise be a dismal failure by itself. If you're actually...

You ignore the problems of defining property interaction solely in terms of 'use'. You don't necessarily 'use' property, you can also 'do things' on property. This in itself suggests a more nuanced interpretation of property rights is needed. Property rights are not inviolable, and should not...

Uh The original assertion of jennyfromdabloc was that the free market HAD fixed things. But the only reason a free market system was able to be established at all was because of remittances. So therefore any improvements aren't really dependent on the free market system so much as...

Yeah they have a right to hold those attitudes, but suggesting that they have a right to act on those attitudes based solely on property rights to me violates basic notions of fairness.

Rees and even Iemma to a degree were pawns of the NSW Right powerbrokers like Obeid. So is Keneally. The factionalism of that government has gotten out of control and to the point where no-one seems to give a shit about what's actually happening to the public anymore. I personally think...

The ONLY reason Somalia was saved from complete and utter fuckery was because it just so happened that one-seventh of the entire population decided to piss off to safer havens and then, due to the clan-like nature of Somali society, were willing to send huge sums of money back to their homeland...

[Citation needed] Plus everyone knows an economy that relies on huge sums of remittances to stay standing is a healthy and successful one, amirite?

revolution

What you said is cool but i suspect that part of the reason they are protesting at all is because of attitudes like the above in bold.

Uhh noooo. The following is taken from 'Governance without Government in Somalia Spoilers, State Building, and the Politics of Coping' by K. Menkhaus, an article appearing in 'International Security' in 2007 which does without the pathetic bias of sites such as Mises.org.

Discrimination based on income prospects is obviously not the same as discrimination based on occupation per se. Please tell me you do not think that people should be discriminated against solely because of the connotations of their profession.

Yeah who needs states, let the free market run countries, that way everyone* will be better off. * rich people

NSW Labor is such a disgrace that I would vote for the Nazi Party if it meant booting out Keneally. Too much pork, ministerial incompetence, and a complete inability to manage public expenditure (esp. transport) is sending this state down the drain. And if you folk think Sydney is in trouble...

Oh but wow - that would explain why there are Shinkansen all over the country, wouldn't it! Of course there's a huge disparity in pop density - I'm not arguing that - but that's irrelevant as long as we're not planning an HSR link through the Simpson Desert, which is the sort of region that...

Making use of aggregate population density is not really valid considering that HSR is only really being considered for travel between major population centres as you yourself attest. Population density is a figure influenced by environmental conditions, land area, the actual size of cities...
