Goddammit dickeye stop posting the things I was going to post.

gently caress it i'm posting it anyway.

Jrod I've come to accept by now that you will absolutely refuse to retain any facts about history, economics, ethics, or reality in general that isn't convenient for you and your perpetual state of delusional idiocy, but must you really concuss your head on your own stupidity so hard that you forget your own posting history as well? Even if Caros had been trying to :airquote: poison the well against you :airquote:, it would have been loving impossible because everyone in D&D at the time who bothers to read threads like this already knew who you are and thought you were a loving moron. Because you had already tried this poo poo multiple times and got banned for it multiple times. It's only through Caros' near infinite patience with you and mod leniency that you posted so terribly for so long in that thread and didn't get punished for it.

Now, please, answer this question you never got back to me on: Have you, J. Rodimus Prime, Esq., ever hosed a watermelon?

Yes, but those of good moral fiber among the unmedicated talk about the NWO, or the FBI shooting green rays into their house to make them want to gently caress Jenna Bush, or perhaps just push this one weird reading of a popular cartoon way too hard.

Descendants. You meant descendants Jrod. You copied and pasted that bit of response from somewhere didn't you? You made the exact same basic mistake last time you posted that particular bit of idiocy.


And if I'm not mistaken we actually do have historical records saying which tribes owned what land. For some like the Cherokee, who actually did have families owning specific property, you could probably find records of who owned what as well.

I assume you also support those tribes being compensated for all the wealth being illegally extracted from their lands for centuries?

Edit: As an aside why do I keep seeing people make the mistake of saying ancestors when they obviously mean descendants? It's not just jrod that I've seen gently caress this up. It's like saying North when you meant South.

You would freely contract with a Dispute Resolution Organization or "DRO" who would protect you for a small fee.



If your DRO somehow inexplicably mutates into an actual government (obviously this would never happen) then you would use your entrepreneurial gumption to simply start your own competing DRO, or alternatively you would give them a bad review on the Libertopian equivalent of Yelp and this would discourage them from mistreating you again in the future since obviously the customer is Number 1.

Why would I do that, I want to rob people.

Anyway, I'm not too worried about groups like that. Me and the boys at Valhalla DRO will have already bailed with all your stuff and salable family members by the time the competition shows up.

Unless they paid for the fast response package I guess.

hey jrode remember that time you said it was impossible to engage in war for profit except by States using fiat money? And then people gave you examples of States engaging in profitable wars without fiat money, non-state actors engaging in profitable wars with fiat money, and non-state actors engaging in war for profit without fiat money? And how you just sort of ignored them and insisted the thread be about something else you desperately wanted to talk about instead like a month later?

It was all a part of you trying to explain to us how there would be no war without that dastardly State, iirc.

I mean, I've spoken with you a whole lot and you STILL don't agree with me? The reality is that smart people have lengthy discussions and debates with each other for literally DECADES without either party changing his or her mind on their core ideology. So, you just come off as obnoxious with this type of post.

You would have to list some actually true facts for that statement to apply to most of us. Are you using the singular or plural you here because you sure as poo poo have had any lengthy discussions with me, you can barely be said to have had anything that could reasonably called a discussion with Caros.

It's the idea that a government that's too big will be rife with corruption, abuse, and will abuse it's citizens which it claims to protect and represent.

I find size as very little to do with how corrupt an organization is actually. You get small towns with corrupt councils and sheriffs, big cities with deeply embedded corruption at all levels, and so on. Hell it's not even unique to governments. Charities and businesses both big and small will have people behaving unethically and irresponsibly. Corruption has a lot more to do with separation of powers and duties, internal controls, the general culture, and being able to be held accountable by independent outside groups.

I guess because as someone who works in it I see overly broadly as "this process is a failure" and corruption becomes an easy catch all for law or regulation which is performing to spec but its outcomes or indicators have otherwise been "corrupted" from the valued or intended purpose.

When I see a city official get canned because he did stuff that wasn't against the law but violated the intention of regulations, and didn't make any extra money off the venture and didn't do anything other than abdicated government oversight of construction projects, is that not corruption?

I don't know what else you call intentional incompetence and malfeasance in government except corruption or... Libertarianism? :v:

How about "bad law" or "bad leadership"? Corruption implies a level of personal and/or familial enrichment.

I believe the idea is that there is no law save what is generated by the gestalt processed of society (but not what we have now, because that's bad) and these sort of inherent social laws will be enforced by anyone with the firepower and inclination to do so (enforcing a law which was unpopular would result in other people shooting you) while more locally, laws are dictated by whoever owns the landmass you're on and if you don't like them you can leave.
