I can't tell you how to feel, but in general when i get stolen from i am pretty pissed. Why aren't you?
Isn't that exactly what I suggested earlier? Convince others, together change society. You got mad at me for suggesting that. Wtf bro. Anyways, convince me at least.
I already told you I think it's only fair that I contribute to a system that I benefit immensely from. Doesn't feel like I'm being stolen from. Feels like I'm part of a big team. Convince me why this is wrong. I'm listening. -

Originally posted by Sophie Ok, well i did explain my position to you in several posts. Moving to avoid having to pay taxes is impractical, like i said, it's not a question of whether paying my taxes is worth it for not having to move or not. It's a moral question, i propose that it is immoral for anyone to take my money without my consent under the implied threat of violence. The people in the government are not beyond moral scrutiny.
Right so how do we get to that ideal society from where we are now? I never disagreesd with you that taxes are not moral. But taxes don't bother me that much. Should they? -

Lol then you proved yourself inferior with the 12000 childish remarks I've seen you make over the last couple days in various threads. Yes your nose bothers me, it's pretty gross looking. Sorry. I really don't care about you at all. -

I totally agree, except I don't think I'm as egotistical as you think I am. You and RisiR and basically everyone trying to "call me out" here post/blog more about yourselves and your lives than I ever have. -

Also I don't think I'm superior at all. -
2017-05-11 at 11:46 AM UTC in Your daily reminder.I don't actually care about Germany that was just a good time getting a reaction from you. I didn't make fun of Sophie. I just like discussing interesting topics like this. If you don't like it, don't participate. Are you seriously trying to guilt trip me for living nearly an identical life as yours?

2017-05-11 at 10:26 AM UTC in Your daily reminder.How am I being a hypocrite? Tell me the topics I "really care" about.
I never claimed the system needs to change. I would think people claiming the system needs to change should be the ones trying to change it.
Talk about "making things personal"... you're trying to make this all about me!

2017-05-10 at 10:24 PM UTC in Your daily reminder.I try to better the world by being a better person. Taxes don't really bother me at all. It's the system I was born into, it seems to work well enough. Maybe there is a better system. I am willing to hear your ideas on what that ideal system would be and how we could achieve it, if you guys are willing to explain that.
As far as drugs go, honestly it seems like legalization is happening as we speak. At least where I live, at least with cannabis. This change didn't happen magically, people made it happen. -

Originally posted by Malice Fuck no it isn't. Do you feel proud that so much of your money, especially in the US, has gone towards killing millions of civilians, ruining lives, countless nations, incarceration, abuse etc?
As for the poor, they're mainly poor because of economic illiteracy, policies that drive up cost of living, mainly housing and food, through the roof, and land use/zoning policies in major metropolitan cities. Read the book "The Gated City" to see how much damage the latter causes. "The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose bad Policies" is another must read, and it was named by the New York Times (hate them) as one of the most important books of the year when it came out.
There are alternative ways of funding everything the government does, and life wouldn't be that different for most people once things developed properly. Just admit it, almost none of you are willing to the amount of reading that me and Sophie have, along with countless others. So just keep believing in your statist fantasies and hoping that one day the perfect people who agree with you on everything will somehow magically be voted into power, free from corruption, everyone who disagrees with you will change, and we'll all hold hands and sing kumbaya happily ever after. Let me know when it happens, because right now you would have to be incredibly oblivious to believe that the vast majority of people on earth live under statist systems that are incredibly destructive and horrendous.

You've got life figured out, Mal. You don't pay taxes, leech off of society, and amzingly enough the police aren't even coming to shoot you in the face.
I will admit I'm not willing to read as much as you have on the topic, however I will also admit that I am open to your point of view if you are willing to explain why it is best. Also don't call me a statist, I am not committed to any particular stance on this topic.
