Wait, my left and right spinal cords perceive the sex force how now? I mean, my spinal cord is like almost always erect, what does that say about my spouse's sexual force?

lifg posted:Now I want to know what a free-baby market is. quote:Now if a parent may own his child (within the framework of non-aggression and runaway freedom), then he may also transfer that ownership to someone else. He may give the child out for adoption, or he may sell the rights to the child in a voluntary contract. In short, we must face the fact that the purely free society will have a flourishing free market in children. Superficially, this sounds monstrous and inhuman. But closer thought will reveal the superior humanism of such a market. For we must realize that there is a market for children now, but that since the government prohibits sale of children at a price, the parents may now only give their children away to a licensed adoption agency free of charge. This means that we now indeed have a child-market, but that the government enforces a maximum price control of zero, and restricts the market to a few privileged and therefore monopolistic agencies. The result has been a typical market where the price of the commodity is held by government far below the free-market price: an enormous "shortage" of the good. The demand for babies and children is usually far greater than the supply, and hence we see daily tragedies of adults denied the joys of adopting children by prying and tyrannical adoption agencies. In fact, we find a large unsatisfied demand by adults and couples for children, along with a large number of surplus and unwanted babies neglected or maltreated by their parents. Allowing a free market in children would eliminate this imbalance, and would allow for an allocation of babies and children away from parents who dislike or do not care for their children, and toward foster parents who deeply desire such children. Everyone involved: the natural parents, the children, and the foster parents purchasing the children, would be better off in this sort of society.

'In short, I believe we should be able to buy and sell human beings for profit. Everyone will be better off for this.' Wasn't this the argument for slavery?

Oh hey its my college professor showing up again. Thanks Walter Block, your life is built on hundreds of essays arguing no one has any moral duties except those that they contractually obligate themselves into. Unironically posited that killing a man who is holding onto your window to avoid falling to his death is fully within your rights to push off because he is using your window without agreement.

You see, the most important thing is that someone has the freedom to buy and sell human beings, furthermore

HardDiskD posted:the loving gently caress I've heard libertarians unironically explain that it's totally OK for a person to sell themselves and their offspring into slavery because in a truly free society somebody with wealth would never, ever (ever ever ever!) rig the game in a way that ensured there were people so poor they'd be required to sell themselves into slavery just to survive. Indentured servitude was a totally OK thing that was never abused at all! just ignore literally all of history tia

No but see the laws preventing people from doing this are the real tyranny.

One can already pay a woman to get pregnant and then give up the baby. The libertarian utopia is upon us, I say.

An example of a LoB post (https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3751104&userid=186455&perpage=40&pagenumber=1)quote:Human mortality rate has been stupidly high for most of their ~200,000 (minimum) years on earth. For the most part, people didn't make it into their twenties, but those that got to their thirties often lived to their sixties or later. This was why the average life expectancy in ancient Rome was ~35, people weren't living to 35 and randomly dropping dead, but most of the citizens were dying before what we would consider adulthood.
