You basically have the right idea. Now you just need to realize that people who earn more than 100k a year are not just greedy fat cats who need to have their money taken from them, they are generally productive people who are contributing to the economy and punishing them for being more...

Seemed to work pretty well in the USA up until the last 50 or so years. Granted we haven't had "perfect" libertarianism, but almost everywhere you look, the more a country tends towards libertarianism the better it is, the more it tends towards communism or any other form of authoritarianism...

So the majority has the right to impose its will on the minority? What if the burglar was elected by the majority of people in your community, could it force you to pay? The government only spends a proportion of what it steals from us on doing anything remotely beneficial. A great...

We live in the state of nature now where the destruction of the planet is constantly threatened by oversized, corrupt, evil governments armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons. Where self righteous democracies go traipsing all around the world murdering civilians based on deliberately...

But you do have the same "advantages" in life as a man. The double standard only exists in the minds of other people who you may choose not to associate with. I'd argue that there is a similar double standard in play for men, but it works in reverse. Most men are biologically programmed to...

Yeah, what about them?

Not really, he was obviously talking about the "sovereignty" of nation states, which relies of threats of force, and brainwashing people with these ridiculous symbols. If you want to talk about individual sovereignty, which is totally incompatible with the sovereignty of nation states, that's...

This is good news. The police are the criminals, and they should stop harassing people because they happen to posses certain chemicals or pieces of metal moulded into certain shapes.

Why can't people debate the science. Hell, even scientists are debating the science. There is no universal consensus on climate change. Even if we accept it is real (which I do) it does not follow that laws mandating reduced emissions are the best solution. How about you stfu with your...

Yeah even I'd agree its best to phase out welfare slowly. I'd suggest allow people to continue to receive full payments for say 6 months, and then after that period they slowly get reduced by 1% a week, or so.

Let's not forget about the most dishonest tax of all, the inflation tax. A covert tax levied on everyone in the world who holds Australian dollars. Also, many welfare recipients are only temporarily on welfare. So over their life time they end up paying far more tax than they receive in...

Although I hate religion, as a libertarian I kind of have to say yes, they should enjoy tax exempt status. I hold that all taxation is theft. Therefore, any exemption that prevents people from being robbed is good. It does not matter that it applied inconsistently. If a burglar robbed...

Sovereignty is complete bullshit made up by those who happen have the power and the guns to make their exercise of power seem legitimate. It is all just a bunch of made up symbols; arbitrary lines on maps, silly coloured pieces of cloth and fancy costumes like blue suits, badges, and funny...

1. The free market is the best way to allocate resources and it will tend towards equilibrium. 2. Interfering with the market through price controls leads to surpluses, shortages and instability. 3. Monopolies are bad for consumers. 4. The government should deliberately create a central bank...

I agree. The Swiss example does not prove guns are safe. But similarly, by this logic, comparing Australia to the US does not prove that gun make people less safe.

Yeah a 9 year old totally has the capacity to consent to marriage and sex with a fully grown man. It not like she would have been pressured or coerced in ANY WAY. Explain why it was okay? Just because people agreed with it? If people started believing pedophilia was okay now, would it become...

Imo it doesn't matter much if someone has a diagnosed mental condition. I'd say a lot of "normal" people are just as fucked up but don't have problems that are as readily identified and categorized. Some "crazies" definitely annoy me, but no more than women with other annoying traits. As...

Stop being a faggot. Most Australians don't give a fuck about the subtitles of language or the beauty of French poetry. They want useful skills to make money so they can buy alcohol, and utes, and alcohol powered utes. Seriously though, I'm not really denigrating such "higher" pursuits...

Also there is little point in learning a European language as around 50% of the EU speaks English anyway. In terms of population and GDP at PPP, the most dominant European country Germany lags way behind China and Japan and the gap is continuing to increase.

9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB. You will see the truth when you're in LOCK DOWN PRISON CITIES.
