How Many Libertarians on this Board Were Born Into Poverty?

Would that be those in a coma and hospitalized on a full life support system.

It may feel that way, but that's natural when you allow problems grow to such large proportions. Perhaps a lesson could be learned, or must history repeat again?

 

iq scores are based on a norm of 100; think about it

the problem of large proprtions seems to be that people were opening medical marijuana dispensaries in places like glendive and sidney and the tea party doesn't like it

not such a large problem, we do [or did] have state laws allowing this, and both towns seem so full of bars and casinos

guessing that bar and casino owners are afraid of competition [this i know], and that they do certain favors, and those libertarians are human, after all . . .

 

You can always vote a straight Democrat ticket.

That would go far in saving some of the natural resources for future generations.

You seem to take a very dim view of personal responsibility while reveling in any opportunity to place blame for ones own inadequacies upon the shoulders of those who have achieved success and have them held liable as if such was criminal.

 

So those with the most wealth have the highest IQ?

The Tea Party is made up of Democrats, Republicans, and Independents, but I thought you were talking about the Libertarians, who may also be included in the Tea Party.

Personally, I could care less what people put into their own bodies, as long as the cost is not passed on to me.

Yet we still like to divide people (humans) based upon race, creed, color, political affiliation, etc.

 

I'm not sure why I posted in this thread--it's been going on for weeks if not months with no end in sight and certainly no understanding of what I pointed out. You did not or will not understand what I put forward as being important at all. I tried with my statement to rise above your Darwinist beliefs and show that empathetic actions toward those with much less than you apparently have , would be a more humanistic ,moral and practical way of looking at the world and it's inhabitants. If you believe I failed reading comprehension or just don't understand what you are saying---that's your right. Oh,I understand all right--you have yours and all's right with the world. No need to respond--I'm done here.

 

lmao

so we are born with a creed and a political affiliation?

 

you must have taken a different test than i did

 

this, in the light of the general conservative thinking re hard currency, is the funniest thing you have said in a long morning of hilarity

 

My family has struggled a couple times but other then a couple mishaps we're reasonably well off.

 

So you're not a Libertarian after all.

 

I didn't mention birth.

 

Obviously, or else you didn't fill in the answers before I received the test.

 

Always glad to brighten your day.

 

Legalize all drugs, stop the wars immediately-let what happens ,happen in the middle east--remove all money from elections, close all loopholes in the tax system and make the tax form 2 or 3 sentences stating percentages owed, relative to money earned, restore the fairness doctrine in the media--which only provides for rebuttal against spurious charges,(of which there are plenty) single payer medical for all citizens, socialized education, huge tariffs on products from other countries--fuck 'em--if we can't make 'em here,we don't need 'em,cap bonuses to CEO's(83 million dollars that one ceo just got is totally immoral,Imo), Close the god-damn borders and restore this country to some semblance of a place in which the working class can be successfull again, and strong regulations against risky banking and wall street professionals. Am I a libertarian? Socialist? Capitalist? Maybe all three.

 

you equated race with belief

 

i take a dim view of a small number of people concentrating the wealth of the nation - wealth "earned" in many cases by speculating on the very necessities of life [housing, food, fuel] - who now feel the need to limit the amount of currency even available to the rest of us

at what point does this become a crime?

 

"Yet we still like to divide people (humans) based upon race, creed, color, political affiliation, etc."

How are you interpreting what I wrote?

 

people divided by race and color have no choice in the matter

despite what michael jackson attempted

your creed and political faiths are your decisions, and fall into another category entirely

i.e., it would be wrong to hate hitler merely for his being austrian

 

Wealth is created, not by a nation but people. Money is earned which provides a tool by which wealth can be acquired. The necessities of life are produced by the labor of humans and the cost of acquiring those necessities is a result of the cost of the materials and labor costs in bringing those products to market.

No crime is being committed. Is Bill Gates or George Soros a criminal? One has gained wealth by creating a product and the other by speculation. Is one method more or less honest than the other?

 

I was speaking from how we view others, regardless of if it is something acquired at birth, like race or color, or something acquired by choice, like religion, political affiliation, or any other number of choices one makes during their lives. The result can be hate, love, inclusion, exclusion, or something other feeling although in each case it is in relation to another human who just looks, or thinks differently from our personal bias, which we each possess.
