If you don't want to risk loss, don't make loans without collateral. Then there's no situation in which you've got an excuse to use force to compel someone to pay back a loan.
So you've never heard of banks foreclosing on a loan and having the borrowers squat in the house until the police kicked them out? Or a lender having to repossess a car? They may own the collateral de jure, but de facto they must take possession. And this requires some cooperation.
the Libs want to be able to purchase court and police services on the open market from the lowest bidder
Why would you assume someone is a cheapskate because they're a libertarian?
I can tell you that in the USA, our police are not given anything like that level of education and instruction... yet, they are given high levels of authority and some of the best weapons available. And if they wrongly arrest someone? Oh well, you can't expect them to know EVERY law! Except of course, citizens are expected to, because ignorance isn't an excuse for breaking one.
Yes, it is his fault, because going in, in 2009, he claimed he was going to make government transparent. Of course, he continued the same policies of obfuscation and deceit, plus adding a few of his own.
I like how you made Nixon an honorary baby boomer. He's kind of the universal villain when Hitler is too much, right?
The main fault of the Baby Boomers was not recognizing that the post-war economy they were born into was finite, and that they were going to have to deal with setbacks and recover from them gracefully. Instead, many bought into the endless prosperity gospel of the Keynesians and used government to manipulate the system. Hey, it worked for FDR, right? Wrong-- that was the wartime economy. FDR's policies were mostly a failure until war broke out in Europe.
If it's so hard to do, why are we the only western country that doesn't provide any guaranteed paid maternity/paternity leave AT ALL?
Obviously, this is untrue because the very article we're commenting on is about a company that offers a very lengthy amount of leave, and it's not the only one. What the USA does not have is a federal government that mandates leave. Some of the states do.
Thanks. And to address my other assertion, while the T-34 was a fantastic tank, it and other advanced weapons didn't make it onto the front lines until the winter of 41/42.
The number of single moms has gone up per capita. They aren't using the contraception. There just aren't that many "accidents" with the known efficacy of birth control. I'm anti-abortion but pro birth control. I'd rather people not hump like bunnies, but I feel that government is not to be used to impose morality. Likewise, I don't think people who refuse to keep their natural urges in check shouldn't be allowed to use the government to maintain their decrepit lifestyle.
I'm pretty sure that whether you trash a "robot" (which, ironically, doesn't move and thus can't do any work) or a Bentley that doesn't belong to you, you're a jackass.
To add to what Talderas said, as far as the Civil war, seven states seceded before Lincoln even took office. They seized federal properties before he even had the authority to do anything. Buchanan, a Democrat, was President at the time.

No. If the car happens to be an angle of fewer than 90 degrees, please call.

This. 2K was fantastically stable and easy to use. It just didn't have the shiny look of XP.
They should sell every smartphone velcro-ed into a little bag with one of these packed in:

So the "religious right" is beating up women and kids in some alley somewhere? I don't get it.

It's unlimited like your AT&T 4G data plan is unlimited...
Yeah... that's called poaching, and like I said he wasn't the only one to be poached.

Punish? How's that? Please explain.

Unfortunately, the number of single mothers has been going up every year, so we have a different problem.
People under 30 are still not using contraception... they are just addressing the inevitable results differently.
It does seem like the neo-progressive narrative is to reduce everything down to being credited to government, our new god.
You forgot politicians.

At least it got people to stop bitching about the one dead lion out of hundreds because he had a cute name.
Who abbreviates Philadelphia as "Phili"? I don't think you have ever been to Philly, or could even point it out on a map.
We don't need to defend American cities to Eurotrash AC trolls.

Thanks for the laugh. I needed it on Monday morning.
