this is part of an infowars campaign. Something slashdot readers would have known already if they weren't socialists and actually had a clue about what was actually going on in the world.
And you must be one of those people I keep reading about in the Black Book of Communism.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Stalinist terror tactics don't work. That's just an economic fact. Case in point: the current economic crisis brought on by the communist federal reserve.
You're going to wake up to that reality to when Americans are starving in the streets thanks to the socialist policies of Obama and Bush. Sooner or later, reality always sets in and the walls of your anti-social personality disorder will come crashing down.
You can however, mitigate the damage that is done by waking up sooner rather than later and maybe if enough people wake up in time, we can prevent the total hell that we are headed for right now.

>> Because part of a government's responsibility is to protect those who can't protect themselves, and to prevent a tyranny of the majority.
The state is a criminal institution.
It's asinine to claim that government is the defender of property rights. Government is the primary violator of property rights.
No gang of thieves has ever stolen as much as the IRS and no gang of murders has ever murdered as many Americans as the US State Department. To claim that any government serves a legitimate purpose is simply displaying that you are suffering from a PSYCHOTIC DISORDER. If they were serving a purpose, people would be willing to pay for their services. They wouldn't have to rob people at gunpoint in order to finance their operation.
>> But our problem is that when our government starts to regulate in places where regulation is needed (e.g. pollution control) it does not know when to stop.
Sorry but if you believe that you're a mental patient. The reason we have so much pollution is because of government regulation. In the old days, pollution used to be actionable. That means if someone polluted, they could be drug into a private court and have their asses sued off for damaging people's health, but government regulation stopped the market's ability to fix the problem and that's when companies started polluting like crazy. I mean why spend money cleaning up pollution when you have a free pass? Your competition isn't going to bother. The government basically wrote an iron-clad guaranteed that anyone who did not pollute as much as possible would be driven out of business.
If you want to get rid of pollution, get rid of the EPA, FDA, USDA and the other government agencies that are causing it. The solution to every human problem is quite simple and always the same: ABOLISH THE STATE.
Uh no. That isn't what got us into this mess. It was the communist federal reserve system and the communist housing sector led by the communist institutions Fannie and Freddie and the communist CRA. This has nothing to do with capitalism.
America is not a capitalist country. The term "capitalist country" is an oxymoron. If it's a country then that means there is a government. Statism (i.e. communism, socialism, terrorism, government, etc.) is the polar opposite of capitalism.
The idea that capitalism could cause a problem is mathematically impossible. The government caused the problem by cheap credit and guaranteed loans, then when their communist Ponzi scheme collapsed they went out and robbed the market of 14 trillion dollars in order to bailout their criminal friends. In a capitalist (i.e free enterprise, human rights, etc.) environment this would have never happened.
You left out step 3.5 which is have your failed company be cheered for being innovative on the world's leading communist web application(i.e. slashdot)[1].

It does if you drop the criteria of "abnormal" as a prerequisite. It's curious that normality is equated to sanity when even Plato (as bat shit as he was) understood that this is an obvious fallacy. Obviously, anyone who equates normality to sanity is of dubious scholarship (anyone who has a bachelor's degree ought to have read the Republic or at least be able to point out the fallacy). I've spent enough time with psychologists/psychiatrists to know that most of them are no better than the average asshole on the street, which is why I don't base anything on appeals to authority. No one is above scrutiny. Mental illness historically has been a mechanism that the state uses to beat over the head of anyone it doesn't like. Homosexuality was classified as mental illness up until just a few years ago (see DSM-III). Similarly today, anyone who questions the official gospel of 9/11 or stands on Libertarian values is labeled as a nut by the corporate media whores. Go to a university hospital and watch them administer ECT on children, and see if you can maintain your respect for the medical profession. Less than half a century ago, the major universities were still telling people that cancer is caused by microorganisms.
I maintain that the ONLY sane and successful attempt to discover and expound criteria for mental health in human history is General Semantics.

Everyone falls on the line somewhere and the difference between the average person and full-blown hebephrenia is not as big as you would like to believe.

>> Anarchists, on the other hand, would have us back to feudalism before the end of the revolution. Our country would look like Darfur or Afghanistan in no time flat.
Not likely. There are too many Christians here. If the majority was ever to get its absolute will, I suspect this country would look like late 15th century Dominican Spain or the works of de Sade. That's unlikely to happen in the U.S. though. Even cowards have a limit on how much bullshit they can stomach before they finally get off of their ass and do something. Of course, my response like your comment is pure speculation. Perhaps they would be perfectly happy to lay down and suffer for yet another government.
The police are worthless by the way. The only thing that keeps the apes here from running amok is their own morality and fear of people's personal ownership of firearms. Only decent people are afraid of the cops. I haven't even shut my front door in three months, despite the fact that I leave the house for 10-12 hour stretches. Anyone could walk in at anytime that they want. But they don't. I suspect hey don't break in because the front door is open and people in my neighborhood are likely to own guns and dogs.
>> He was also arguing for democracy and socialism. Funny your selective quoting.
Just because someone is correct on one issue does not make them infallible. Orwell was a socialist at one point. Reich was a member of the Communist Party at one point and thought he had shot down UFOs. That doesn't mean that he wasn't right about a lot of things also. And it certainly doesn't mean that the US government was justified when they burnt his books.

To prove the point that the idiot public is generally wrong.
>> it's not like I've contradicted anything he stood for.
What are you talking about? It directly contradicts your entire political philosophy that a mob constituting a majority in a particular geographical area is justified to make decisions and enforce their will through violence on the minority. Democracy, always inimical to freedom can never be justified using freedom or reason. It can only be justified by an appeal to utility, namely: that the majority has the right enforce their caprices on the minority through violence simply because it is easy and enjoyable for them to do so, freedom, logic, and the minority be damned.
If it can be proven that the decisions and world view of the majority are deluded and nearly always wrong, even the shallow, illogical, and hateful appeal to sloth as a justification for democracy flies right out of the fucking window.
>> And we have a SEPARATE word when the government does it - taxation.
Well thank you for finally coming around and validating what I have been saying all along:
That taxation is a euphemism used to describe acts of robbery committed by the state.
>> Violence? What country do you live in? If you don't pay your taxes, they fine you - garnish your wages.
Yet another testament to how sick you are. People get thrown in prison all of the time for not paying the income tax. Try opening your eyes sometime.
Furthermore, wage garnishment and fines are forms of violence. For those of you unfamiliar with English here's a quick test: Is the individual in question complying of his/her own choice or is he being forced? Note: violence and force are listed as synonyms in at least a dozen English dictionaries.
Further, it is impossible to engage in any monetary transaction without paying taxes either directly or indirectly. So my choices are either starve, or fund this fascist state by giving up my property against my will? In my industry, they call that a double-bind. Of course, forcing people to do something they don't want to do (like surrender their hard-earned property to a bunch of parasites) at gun-point is clearly not violence. Would you prefer to call it coercion or something else perhaps? How about Tyranny? Totalitarianism? Fascism? Socialism? Communism? Cruelty? Oppression? Hate? Despotism? Brutality? Name your poison.
>> If you lie or cheat, they'll throw you in prison. Where does violence enter the equation?
So you wouldn't call using force to throw someone in a cage for life, force them to pick cotton or stamp out license plates under armed guards an act of violence? Ok. I'll be here waiting for your new definition of that word as well.
>> I think I've demonstrated that I support taxation no matter what you want me to call it. You are way too presumptuous. I also support granting the government the sole right to violence and murder, as I'm sure you probably use those terms to refer to the military and law enforcement.
Precisely. Because in your mind, such atrocities are completely justifiable as long as they are committed in the most cowardly way possible. Imagine! Cowardice and convenience used as justification! Thank god for the heroes who have worked so hard and suffered so much to explain the motivations for such reasoning. Without the great works of psychology, we would be at a loss to explain such behavior.

Never claimed to be, nor would I want to be. You can certainly accumulate that sort of knowledge (and more) on the internet, but you would have to go to a university to get
>> So let me get this straight - you think that you are using the words "sanity" and "robbery" in the same way that most people would? Because that is what I'm talking about here.
If you're going to live here you should learn to speak the language. No I don't think most people in America would consider taxation robbery. Most people in America are raving psychotics with anti-social personalities. Just because something is popular doesn't make it right or even correct. On the contrary, when something is popular, that is a near certain guarantee that it is wrong. That should be obvious to any sane person who has ever opened his/her eyes and taken a look around:
"But I can't be wrong! I am just like everyone else!" Of all of the ridiculous, ego-based babble that mental midgets use to justify their delusions, this is by far the most pathetic. Congratulations! You're just as out of your mind and stupid as the rest of these blundering bovines. I agree. You are definitely average, and your grasp of the English language is indeed indicative of the invalid level of semantic refinement in this country and on planet earth in general.
Robbery? I believe I defined the term when I used it. And the definition is consistent with its historical usage (check a dictionary). Robbery is defined as the aggressive act of taking someones property by force. Again:
Taxation is the expropriation of wealth through violence (a.k.a. robbery to anyone with a 5th grade comprehension of English). If you don't think that it is, try not paying your taxes and see what happens or try finding a gallon of gas (or any other product) that hasn't already had taxes built into the price. If you don't like English, start your own language or use another. Call it "fdasjl;lfdsjlj" for all I care, it still doesn't change the fact that you are taking peoples property though brutal acts of violence.
You are the one playing semantic games, but you twist events 180 degrees until your guilt for your actions has been projected on to an agent of truth. This is the logic of psychotic projection, all things reversed until they are completely opposite. The reason they always hit the complete opposite is that people with diminutive and defective semantic circuitry are unable to think logically in more than one dimension: true and false. Since they can't accept true (without shrinking their ego), the only other outlet is false.
What is going on here is that you think what the state does is justified by the fact that it is being carried out by the state or by a ruthless mob under the rubric of "democracy". You cannot handle the fact that a word that you have negative connotations associated with (e.g. robbery) has been attributed an action committed by the state. To do so would force you to admit that in the past you have been a terrible human being by supporting such actions.
I know it's scary. You think that the ego and patterns of behavior that you have been programmed with are actually you. They aren't. Where does your ego come from? Is it really you? A menacing coward who expresses his impotence behind the cover and concealment of a voting booth because he doesn't have the fortitude or integrity to commit his crimes directly? Or is that just what you have been up until now? If you let it go, I p
>> In at a close second is your diagnosis of me as a psychotic schizophrenic based on my "belief in public property". First of all, I think about 99.99% of Americans would fit this description.
Normality does not equate to sanity. Sanity (in cognition) is the ability to form opinions and actions with fidelity to actual experience (interpreted clearly). By that definition, nearly everyone in America is mentally ill. 86% of Americans believed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction; a clear positive hallucination (a cognitive dysfunction, psychosis).
>> Second, I don't "believe in" it like some kind of a God. I recognize it as an artificial convenience. I want to keep it and anarchists want to get rid of it. What we have is a difference in opinion, not a mental illness!
I was merely stating that the concept of public property is impossible. It isn't public property, it's property that the government has purchased/built with the money that they have stolen over the years through the mechanism of taxation. Robbery (the expropriation of property through aggressive coercion or violence) does not cease to be robbery just because the robber changes the language or puts on a uniform. Neither does it change the act of murder. Murder is murder and robbery is robbery. It doesn't matter whether you do it with a gun, a knife, a car, or a voting booth. Anyone who supports such actions is by definition, a gang member complicit in the acts of robbery and murder and suffering from an anti-social personality disorder.
What distinguishes schizophrenia (semantic hallucinations) from mere Orwellian use of language is the schizophrenics ability to reconcile mutually exclusive concepts (like public and property) through perverse logic. Consider the terms "Department of Defense" and "Department of Justice":
The term "Department of Defense" is merely an Orwellian mind-fuck to create a positive connotation with the department. It is in reality the department of aggression and war. The United States has not faced an external threat since 1814. Departments could however theoretically engage in defense, therefore the term is logically consistent.
The term "Department of Justice" however is an oxymoron. Since government is inherently unjust (the term "government" is simply a euphemism under which acts of injustice are carried out, justified, and codified), it is impossible that any government department could ever be an arbiter of justice. Government and injustice are synonymous terms. Government and justice are not mutually exclusive, but they are antithetical terms.
You can plot them on a line for any society like so:
No Government (complete justice) ------------------ Total Government (complete injustice)
Do you see the difference?
>> Google can pull any video that they want. It's all private property.
I agree that Google, YouTube, Yahoo, or anyone else has a right to do what they want to do with their private property. It is still censorship in the United States regardless of who is doing it, which meets your original criteria as stated.
As far as the roads go, they are stolen property, so everyone who was robbed to build them has an equal (in proportion to the amount they were robbed) and ethical title to reclaim them at anytime.
>> You want to talk links? Okay. Your first one in the above post is an article about how a nutty talk show host is wrongly accusing some other nut of calling for a third nut's death. Okay... this is relevent to asshat activists how?
Its relevant because it shows an attempt to falsely attribute actions made by agent provocateurs to legitimate protesters.
>> Your third link, I agree is over-the-top. The word "terrorism" is so misused... this is a perfect example. Closing a road is not terrorism. It's ass-hattery and it's obnoxious, and these idiots are certainly guilty of conspiracy -
I fail to see how handing out maps and providing referrals for daycare constitutes conspiracy.
>> The fact is that you cannot argue based on facts so you have to make me into some sort of monster.
Just because you are mentally ill doesn't make you a monster. In fact the scientific position of mental illness directly contradicts the emotional, religious, definition of evil.
>> I'm not sick, do not have a history of mental illness, and am not the one putting up links on Slashdot to ridiculous conspiracy sites.
Please. You don't have a history of mental illness? You've demonstrated mental illness repeatedly in this thread. Consider the following:
Cognitive Disorders:
1. The belief in the absurd, illogical, and self-contradictory concept of public property: a clear exhibition of schizophrenia. 2. The belief that you have stated facts, when you have yet to state a single fact in this thread: a clear exhibition of psychosis. 3. The belief that I have not stated facts, when I have done nothing but present obvious documented facts: another exhibition of psychosis. 4. The belief that anarchists could engage in the destruction or inhibition of property. To reiterate, an anarchist is someone who believes in freedom (the absence of government), and since acts of aggression are acts of government, it is completely incoherent to believe that an "anarchist" could engage is such activities. If a person is engaged in such activities, they could not be an anarchist..Another exhibition of schizophrenia. 5. The belief that Alex Jones is a "nut" when it is empirically verifiable that he is the sanest radio host in the world. Another exhibition of psychosis.
Personality disorders:
1. The repeated resurfacing of the "clogging the roads". This of course, is the neurotic projection/extension of "the state as an extension of self" (e.g. my congressman, my roads, my courts, etc.). This emotional compulsion is the result of rage stemming from sexual impotence as has been well documented in The Mass Psychology of Fascism and numerous other works. It can be cured through either cognitive dissonance or the conscious surfacing of your deep homosexual desires for your father's penis through psychoanalysis. 2. A repeated attempt to portray your ad hominem attacks as factual statements: an exhibition of an anti-social personality.
I can also deduce a great deal more based on what you have demonstrated so far...
>> Give me one example of that website being "censored" inside the United States.
>> Nice moderation you have there, skippy. Looks like the Feds have infiltrated Slashdot!
Hardly, I think the population of America (and especially slashdot) for the most part is bovine enough to police itself. The fact that you have a high mod count is proof. Anything communist sentiment posted here will undoubtedly get modded up as insightful or interesting. Any attempt at defending freedom or any expose of the mental illness present here will get modded down.
>> The fact is that your idiot friends still have their website up, so they aren't being censored.
The fact is that you are a mental patient that cannot deal with the facts. That is why you continually change the subject. The quick response you gave makes it obvious that you didn't even look at the links posted. Like I said, you are a seriously sick psychotic who would rather manufacture a fantasy than deal with the way the world really works. Every post you make just provides further evidence that you are in need of serious clinical care. Your neurotic attachment to "clogging the roads" is yet another example.
That particular website has in fact been censored numerous times in and outside the United States. Here are some more links you won't bother to follow, but will undeniably form some asinine opinion about:
Aren't you just so cute and clever? People must swoon at your wit and charisma. Jackass.
No one ever said the truth was pleasant. On the contrary, in a nation populated by 300 million raving psychotics, the one sure way to offend everyone is to tell the truth to everyone you meet. You most likely would not like to hear that you are obviously the scum of the earth, a bat shit, seriously sick psychotic who has absolutely no clue what is going on in the world, but that doesn't make it any less true. You also would most likely not like to hear that all of the evil in the world is brought about by cock-sucking cowards like yourself, but there it is.
>> I was referring to the exact same thing as you. While I don't support raids without warrants, I also don't support blocking of roads to make a deranged point.
Who is talking about roads? Who decides what is deranged? What is the point of contention here? I think that you have yet to realize that the very concept of 'public property' is indicative of mental illness (e.g. schizophrenia). Public property is an oxymoron. The State owns the roads. They stole them fair and square.
>> You think I've been brainwashed by the statist media, and I think you've been brainwashed by crazy people on the internet.
Not really sure how you could come to that conclusion since everything I said was completely factual, obvious (to anyone who is sane), and documented. Besides, I've never been to the web sites of either the Democratic or the Republican parties, cnn.com, whitehouse.gov, or any other fascist organization, so it seems difficult to believe that THEY (the internet crazies @ barackobama.com) could brainwash me over the web.
But I am sure you will believe whatever you want, rant and spout some asinine opinion in direct contradiction to the facts. After all, that's what makes you an American: complete and total incoherent psychosis.
Of course, the obvious goal is to label all dissent as terrorism and lock people away for decades even though they haven't committed a single crime:
But why should that concern anyone on slashdot? Only decent human beings have a reason to be afraid of the government. You and all the other delusional douche bags here will obviously be just fine. May you get exactly what you deserve.
For the record, a real anarchist is someone who believes in freedom, and is therefore logically opposed to government in all of its forms. The people who are calling themselves anarchists are anarchists in the Noam Chomsky sense of the word: super-statist, jackbooted, nazis (i.e. communists).
Your inability to distinguish what is really going on is an indication that you have been brainwashed by the statist media.
I was referring to the police raiding homes of suspected protesters without warrants (or even probable cause) in Minnesota:

>> Anarchists, on the other hand, would have us back to feudalism before the end of the revolution. Our country would look like Darfur or Afghanistan in no time flat.
Not likely. There are too many Christians here. If the majority was ever to get its absolute will, I suspect this country would look like late 15th century Dominican Spain or the works of de Sade. That's unlikely to happen in the U.S. though. Even cowards have a limit on how much bullshit they can stomach before they finally get off of their ass and do something. Of course, my response like your comment is pure speculation. Perhaps they would be perfectly happy to lay down and suffer for yet another government.
The police are worthless by the way. The only thing that keeps the apes here from running amok is their own morality and fear of people's personal ownership of firearms. Only decent people are afraid of the cops. I haven't even shut my front door in three months, despite the fact that I leave the house for 10-12 hour stretches. Anyone could walk in at anytime that they want. But they don't. I suspect hey don't break in because the front door is open and people in my neighborhood are likely to own guns and dogs.
>> He was also arguing for democracy and socialism. Funny your selective quoting.
Just because someone is correct on one issue does not make them infallible. Orwell was a socialist at one point. Reich was a member of the Communist Party at one point and thought he had shot down UFOs. That doesn't mean that he wasn't right about a lot of things also. And it certainly doesn't mean that the US government was justified when they burnt his books.

>> it's not like I've contradicted anything he stood for.
What are you talking about? It directly contradicts your entire political philosophy that a mob constituting a majority in a particular geographical area is justified to make decisions and enforce their will through violence on the minority. Democracy, always inimical to freedom can never be justified using freedom or reason. It can only be justified by an appeal to utility, namely: that the majority has the right enforce their caprices on the minority through violence simply because it is easy and enjoyable for them to do so, freedom, logic, and the minority be damned.
If it can be proven that the decisions and world view of the majority are deluded and nearly always wrong, even the shallow, illogical, and hateful appeal to sloth as a justification for democracy flies right out of the fucking window.
>> And we have a SEPARATE word when the government does it - taxation.
Well thank you for finally coming around and validating what I have been saying all along:
That taxation is a euphemism used to describe acts of robbery committed by the state.
>> Violence? What country do you live in? If you don't pay your taxes, they fine you - garnish your wages.
Yet another testament to how sick you are. People get thrown in prison all of the time for not paying the income tax. Try opening your eyes sometime.
Furthermore, wage garnishment and fines are forms of violence. For those of you unfamiliar with English here's a quick test: Is the individual in question complying of his/her own choice or is he being forced? Note: violence and force are listed as synonyms in at least a dozen English dictionaries.
Further, it is impossible to engage in any monetary transaction without paying taxes either directly or indirectly. So my choices are either starve, or fund this fascist state by giving up my property against my will? In my industry, they call that a double-bind. Of course, forcing people to do something they don't want to do (like surrender their hard-earned property to a bunch of parasites) at gun-point is clearly not violence. Would you prefer to call it coercion or something else perhaps? How about Tyranny? Totalitarianism? Fascism? Socialism? Communism? Cruelty? Oppression? Hate? Despotism? Brutality? Name your poison.
>> If you lie or cheat, they'll throw you in prison. Where does violence enter the equation?
So you wouldn't call using force to throw someone in a cage for life, force them to pick cotton or stamp out license plates under armed guards an act of violence? Ok. I'll be here waiting for your new definition of that word as well.
>> I think I've demonstrated that I support taxation no matter what you want me to call it. You are way too presumptuous. I also support granting the government the sole right to violence and murder, as I'm sure you probably use those terms to refer to the military and law enforcement.
Precisely. Because in your mind, such atrocities are completely justifiable as long as they are committed in the most cowardly way possible. Imagine! Cowardice and convenience used as justification! Thank god for the heroes who have worked so hard and suffered so much to explain the motivations for such reasoning. Without the great works of psychology, we would be at a loss to explain such behavior.

If you're going to live here you should learn to speak the language. No I don't think most people in America would consider taxation robbery. Most people in America are raving psychotics with anti-social personalities. Just because something is popular doesn't make it right or even correct. On the contrary, when something is popular, that is a near certain guarantee that it is wrong. That should be obvious to any sane person who has ever opened his/her eyes and taken a look around:

"But I can't be wrong! I am just like everyone else!" Of all of the ridiculous, ego-based babble that mental midgets use to justify their delusions, this is by far the most pathetic. Congratulations! You're just as out of your mind and stupid as the rest of these blundering bovines. I agree. You are definitely average, and your grasp of the English language is indeed indicative of the invalid level of semantic refinement in this country and on planet earth in general.
Robbery? I believe I defined the term when I used it. And the definition is consistent with its historical usage (check a dictionary). Robbery is defined as the aggressive act of taking someones property by force. Again:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/rob
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/theft
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/steal
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/graft
I could have also called it terrorism:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/terrorism
Taxation is the expropriation of wealth through violence (a.k.a. robbery to anyone with a 5th grade comprehension of English). If you don't think that it is, try not paying your taxes and see what happens or try finding a gallon of gas (or any other product) that hasn't already had taxes built into the price. If you don't like English, start your own language or use another. Call it "fdasjl;lfdsjlj" for all I care, it still doesn't change the fact that you are taking peoples property though brutal acts of violence.
You are the one playing semantic games, but you twist events 180 degrees until your guilt for your actions has been projected on to an agent of truth. This is the logic of psychotic projection, all things reversed until they are completely opposite. The reason they always hit the complete opposite is that people with diminutive and defective semantic circuitry are unable to think logically in more than one dimension: true and false. Since they can't accept true (without shrinking their ego), the only other outlet is false.
What is going on here is that you think what the state does is justified by the fact that it is being carried out by the state or by a ruthless mob under the rubric of "democracy". You cannot handle the fact that a word that you have negative connotations associated with (e.g. robbery) has been attributed an action committed by the state. To do so would force you to admit that in the past you have been a terrible human being by supporting such actions.
I know it's scary. You think that the ego and patterns of behavior that you have been programmed with are actually you. They aren't. Where does your ego come from? Is it really you? A menacing coward who expresses his impotence behind the cover and concealment of a voting booth because he doesn't have the fortitude or integrity to commit his crimes directly? Or is that just what you have been up until now? If you let it go, I p

>> In at a close second is your diagnosis of me as a psychotic schizophrenic based on my "belief in public property". First of all, I think about 99.99% of Americans would fit this description.
Normality does not equate to sanity. Sanity (in cognition) is the ability to form opinions and actions with fidelity to actual experience (interpreted clearly). By that definition, nearly everyone in America is mentally ill. 86% of Americans believed Iraq had weapons of mass destruction; a clear positive hallucination (a cognitive dysfunction, psychosis).
>> Second, I don't "believe in" it like some kind of a God. I recognize it as an artificial convenience. I want to keep it and anarchists want to get rid of it. What we have is a difference in opinion, not a mental illness!
I was merely stating that the concept of public property is impossible. It isn't public property, it's property that the government has purchased/built with the money that they have stolen over the years through the mechanism of taxation. Robbery (the expropriation of property through aggressive coercion or violence) does not cease to be robbery just because the robber changes the language or puts on a uniform. Neither does it change the act of murder. Murder is murder and robbery is robbery. It doesn't matter whether you do it with a gun, a knife, a car, or a voting booth. Anyone who supports such actions is by definition, a gang member complicit in the acts of robbery and murder and suffering from an anti-social personality disorder.
What distinguishes schizophrenia (semantic hallucinations) from mere Orwellian use of language is the schizophrenics ability to reconcile mutually exclusive concepts (like public and property) through perverse logic. Consider the terms "Department of Defense" and "Department of Justice":
The term "Department of Defense" is merely an Orwellian mind-fuck to create a positive connotation with the department. It is in reality the department of aggression and war. The United States has not faced an external threat since 1814. Departments could however theoretically engage in defense, therefore the term is logically consistent.
The term "Department of Justice" however is an oxymoron. Since government is inherently unjust (the term "government" is simply a euphemism under which acts of injustice are carried out, justified, and codified), it is impossible that any government department could ever be an arbiter of justice. Government and injustice are synonymous terms. Government and justice are not mutually exclusive, but they are antithetical terms.
You can plot them on a line for any society like so:
No Government (complete justice) ------------------ Total Government (complete injustice)
Do you see the difference?
>> Google can pull any video that they want. It's all private property.
I agree that Google, YouTube, Yahoo, or anyone else has a right to do what they want to do with their private property. It is still censorship in the United States regardless of who is doing it, which meets your original criteria as stated.
As far as the roads go, they are stolen property, so everyone who was robbed to build them has an equal (in proportion to the amount they were robbed) and ethical title to reclaim them at anytime.
>> You want to talk links? Okay. Your first one in the above post is an article about how a nutty talk show host is wrongly accusing some other nut of calling for a third nut's death. Okay... this is relevent to asshat activists how?
Its relevant because it shows an attempt to falsely attribute actions made by agent provocateurs to legitimate protesters.
>> Your third link, I agree is over-the-top. The word "terrorism" is so misused... this is a perfect example. Closing a road is not terrorism. It's ass-hattery and it's obnoxious, and these idiots are certainly guilty of conspiracy -

>> The fact is that you cannot argue based on facts so you have to make me into some sort of monster.
Just because you are mentally ill doesn't make you a monster. In fact the scientific position of mental illness directly contradicts the emotional, religious, definition of evil.
>> I'm not sick, do not have a history of mental illness, and am not the one putting up links on Slashdot to ridiculous conspiracy sites.
Please. You don't have a history of mental illness? You've demonstrated mental illness repeatedly in this thread. Consider the following:
Cognitive Disorders:
1. The belief in the absurd, illogical, and self-contradictory concept of public property: a clear exhibition of schizophrenia.
2. The belief that you have stated facts, when you have yet to state a single fact in this thread: a clear exhibition of psychosis.
3. The belief that I have not stated facts, when I have done nothing but present obvious documented facts: another exhibition of psychosis.
4. The belief that anarchists could engage in the destruction or inhibition of property. To reiterate, an anarchist is someone who believes in freedom (the absence of government), and since acts of aggression are acts of government, it is completely incoherent to believe that an "anarchist" could engage is such activities. If a person is engaged in such activities, they could not be an anarchist..Another exhibition of schizophrenia.
5. The belief that Alex Jones is a "nut" when it is empirically verifiable that he is the sanest radio host in the world. Another exhibition of psychosis.
Personality disorders:
1. The repeated resurfacing of the "clogging the roads". This of course, is the neurotic projection/extension of "the state as an extension of self" (e.g. my congressman, my roads, my courts, etc.). This emotional compulsion is the result of rage stemming from sexual impotence as has been well documented in The Mass Psychology of Fascism and numerous other works. It can be cured through either cognitive dissonance or the conscious surfacing of your deep homosexual desires for your father's penis through psychoanalysis.
2. A repeated attempt to portray your ad hominem attacks as factual statements: an exhibition of an anti-social personality.
I can also deduce a great deal more based on what you have demonstrated so far...

>> Nice moderation you have there, skippy. Looks like the Feds have infiltrated Slashdot!
Hardly, I think the population of America (and especially slashdot) for the most part is bovine enough to police itself. The fact that you have a high mod count is proof. Anything communist sentiment posted here will undoubtedly get modded up as insightful or interesting. Any attempt at defending freedom or any expose of the mental illness present here will get modded down.
>> The fact is that your idiot friends still have their website up, so they aren't being censored.
The fact is that you are a mental patient that cannot deal with the facts. That is why you continually change the subject. The quick response you gave makes it obvious that you didn't even look at the links posted. Like I said, you are a seriously sick psychotic who would rather manufacture a fantasy than deal with the way the world really works. Every post you make just provides further evidence that you are in need of serious clinical care. Your neurotic attachment to "clogging the roads" is yet another example.

Aren't you just so cute and clever? People must swoon at your wit and charisma. Jackass.
No one ever said the truth was pleasant. On the contrary, in a nation populated by 300 million raving psychotics, the one sure way to offend everyone is to tell the truth to everyone you meet. You most likely would not like to hear that you are obviously the scum of the earth, a bat shit, seriously sick psychotic who has absolutely no clue what is going on in the world, but that doesn't make it any less true. You also would most likely not like to hear that all of the evil in the world is brought about by cock-sucking cowards like yourself, but there it is.
>> I was referring to the exact same thing as you. While I don't support raids without warrants, I also don't support blocking of roads to make a deranged point.
Who is talking about roads? Who decides what is deranged? What is the point of contention here? I think that you have yet to realize that the very concept of 'public property' is indicative of mental illness (e.g. schizophrenia). Public property is an oxymoron. The State owns the roads. They stole them fair and square.
>> You think I've been brainwashed by the statist media, and I think you've been brainwashed by crazy people on the internet.
Not really sure how you could come to that conclusion since everything I said was completely factual, obvious (to anyone who is sane), and documented. Besides, I've never been to the web sites of either the Democratic or the Republican parties, cnn.com, whitehouse.gov, or any other fascist organization, so it seems difficult to believe that THEY (the internet crazies @ barackobama.com) could brainwash me over the web.

But I am sure you will believe whatever you want, rant and spout some asinine opinion in direct contradiction to the facts. After all, that's what makes you an American: complete and total incoherent psychosis.

The so called 'anarchists' are government agents.
http://www.google.com/search?&q=recreate+68+provocateurs
For the record, a real anarchist is someone who believes in freedom, and is therefore logically opposed to government in all of its forms. The people who are calling themselves anarchists are anarchists in the Noam Chomsky sense of the word: super-statist, jackbooted, nazis (i.e. communists).
Your inability to distinguish what is really going on is an indication that you have been brainwashed by the statist media.
