Your use of comedic exaggeration tells me you've defriended a lot of people for much, much more minor "offenses". Like disliking having a mosque near Ground Zero or disagreeing with the President's policies.
You couldn't guarantee that "a libertarian would have put out the fire" because it's equally likely that a libertarian might buy the fire department and then go around starting fires in order to make money.
Kind of like how governments start wars so that they can increase defense spending, impose a draft, raise taxes, or remove rights? How about saying that we're in a financial emergency, and we have to pass a bill IMMEDIATELY to keep unemployment from exceeding 8.5%?
Governments start fires all the time.
whereas know-it-all totalitarism or anarchism are divorced from how people actually act.
A true democracy is one step away from anarchy. "Democratic socialism" serves the masses, not individual rights.
I mean it would be like not having health insurance, having a heart attack, getting $50K in bills. Then you call up insurance company and say. I will get insurance. I'll pay $400 premium for last month and you retroactively cover my $50K in expenses.
This is pretty much what will happen under ObamaCare. Dissenters will have to pay a fine every year, but the fine will cost a LOT less than health insurance.
Libertarianism does not preclude compassion. That's a straw man. A libertarian would have put out the fire, not only for compassion's sake but because a wild fire endangers the community. However, the homeowner would have been billed for the full cost later. Besides, the FD is a government-run org. It's not like the FD was a private business with a monopoly. They were perfectly capable of fighting the fire, and the homeowner was capable of paying the fee. So I can only conclude that you believe in socialism even when people who can take care of themselves fail to do so.
No, we've turned into a nation of entitled slobs. Back in the 18th century, you had to pay a fee to the fire company so that they would place a plaque on your home. THIS IS NOT NEW. Not simply putting out the fire and billing the owner for the full cost of the response is asshattery, however.
Ironically, Tennessee is a state that steadfastly refuses to pass an income tax and in which any talk of raising taxes is met with crazy uproar. They had an actual riot back in 2001 when the state tried to introduce an small income tax.
That's because income taxes punish success. Besides, the state does not, and should not, pay for local police and fire departments. Therefore, this is not about state income tax.
This is why the health care plan will still fail. There's a fine associated with not getting health insurance, which besides being an infringement of natural rights doesn't keep anyone from simply buying health insurance when they need it because the fine is less than the cost of health insurance, and now you can't be turned down for preexisting conditions.
That's a straw man. The man would be billed like he would for property taxes. If he didn't pay, then a lien would be placed against his house. What we're missing here is the consequence of the FD's decision not to put out the fire: it spread to a neighbor's field. It's fortunate that it didn't damage any structures, because if it had then the neighbor would have had a serious grievance. Fires should not be allowed to burn freely for any reason because they pose a threat to the community.
The "magic" is called "subspace", where the speed of light is faster. Without knowing the nature of this subspace, we don't know how this would affect the energy required.
Fucking yanks seem to think that having a mouth is licence to open it ad flap out any old nonsense - why the hell haven't you fuckers thrown out Congress yet?
Maybe because the election isn't until the second of November?
I'd love to watch those classic original British comedies, but I don't have the appropriate Cockney and Welsh to American English dictionaries to translate them.
This is really OT; but while negative ads seem to stick in our heads, the other half are ads touting the candidate's record in a few key areas and one or two of their strategies. Maybe you're not in the USA, but here we get both.

All right, then the word you're looking for is CULTURE. It still isn't religion.

*shrug* I would just ask you why you posted it.
No one uses Facebook anymore, it's too crowded.

Slippery slope fallacy.

This is what happens when you DO have socialism.

The ability to coast on a bike, thus preserving momentum, is huge.
