Sorry to go off topic, I just think ageism is a ridiculous card to play.
Yes, that was my point, the post you quoted was a sarchastic reply. I was saying his reference to my age was unsubstatiated, and made an equal, obviously irrelevant response to him, highlighted by "Ad hom, Ad hom, Ad Nausium". Read the thread.
Did he say anything ? It looked like he tried to put words in my mouth, from which inference was drawn.
He has not denied the inference thus far.
Please, call me schmuck, it is much less formal.
I will stick to infringe.
As far as I am aware, the latin etymology suggests an encroachment.
A law,by definition, is authoritarian.
I am not aware of any law that stops you stabbing people.
If you believe that a written opinion backed by force will stop you getting stabbed, may I suggest you join me on a Critical Thinking course ?
I was making observations not arguments. If a person is happy paying taxes, I will not act to prevent that happiness.
Conversely, if they are not happy, I would suggest taking action to reduce the unhappiness that has resulted from an infringement of your liberty.
Good for you.
However, you seem to suggest that the means by which you attempt to achieve your goals are not important.
If you can live with that,there is no need to remove the mirrors from your dwelling.
Another, far simpler solution would be to end the current situation where 350 individuals are said to own half the world's private wealth while 2 billion people don't even have access to water and 'live' on $1 a day, by redistributing that wealth a little better.
I think many libertarians tend to argue that the former is the only legitimate role of government.
Thereby highlighting a self referential paradox, perchance ?
I am not sure what point you are trying to make here.
I will have an attempt from what you have said. A person should accept being stolen from if the thief/thieves promises to protect what he/they leave behind ?
I may get depressed at the thought of being depressed about things out of my control but that, presently, is not a problem.
Who is the "we" ? You make it sound like it is me against the world.
I did not think I had made any suggestions, merely observations.
What has Dubai got to do with anything ?
Unless you are making reference to state owned corporations Dubai World and Nakheel getting into financial difficulties through excessive borrowing.
More civilisation and humanisation perhaps ?
For 'im, not agin 'im.
Read the thread. It was a positive statement.
Time to go, the ism police have arrived.
I think you should be more wary of the men in white coats arriving than the ism police.
