Yes. A true libertarian society would have no laws, no government, no TAXES (that is stealing since I never allowed the gov to take that money), no regulations on the economy, and everyone agrees to that. It's a perfect society. Only sissies need laws.
Parents and parents to be shouldn't need the gov to babysit their kids. May as well be on welfare and foodstamps if you won't be responsible for your life.
Parents bitched about TV and got a rating system. They said that wasn't enough and wanted a filtering device so they got the v-chip. Parents said that wasn't enough and demanded cable companies to lock channels. No one use the v-chip, TV ability to remove chanels, and some use the blocked channels. In my town, certain channels I used to get on basic are now premium since parents didn't understand it's content. It's either Fox News or CHristian channels.
Take responisibility for your kid or go on welfare. It's that simple.
mean, why open the dor to fundies to ban anything online they don't like? Why get all out of joint if people don't want our society redesigned for 2 yo kids? Can't be there 24/7? Get help from family. Don't go running to gov to solve the evils of the Interents and TV.
Society has a vested interest in the next generation, and parents can not be there 24*7 so I think (though I am generally pretty libertarian) that saying a 5yo cant buy a six pack, and that a 10yo cant go into a strip club are acceptable..
You're a libertarian and you would deny a kid's liberty to buy alcohol and enter strip clubs?! You're a liberal or a conservative! Liberties are fought to keep, not give up to wackos.
I still don't see why parents have the need to screw things up just to raise a kid. Hell, I'll never have kids since they cost too much and annoy me so much I'd have to punch them to shut up. Anyone that can handle thier bullshit is welcome to it but don't whine when it gets hard, just deal with it. And, no, regulations on things don't work. I like the libertarian idea of total unregulation so kids can go into strip clubs if they want. Parents would have to be parents and not have kids for tax reasons.
People has worth but why drop all responsibility when parenting gets hard. parenting has always been hard since we came to be. It will never get easier either. Asking the gov to make changes in a society so parents don't have to think (sorry parents but it a job requirment) is silly and who really thinks that any gov can raise children?
Except of course when that process elects someone you dont like..
Unless a Democrat wins, then Republicians will cry foul for 4 years.
Once again, parents can't do that job so they get a law passed for them. If parents were paid, they'd be fired. What happened to all that child-safety software parents wanted yet never bought? DOn't want your kids to see porn but fucking at night across the hall is fine.
Religion was originally a method to uncover spiritualy truths. Over time it become an organization which thought it had all the answers. Now we are dealing with that ignorance that any group has ALL the answers. Too bad we can't convince them that religion is for spiritual reality (all of them) and science is for material truths.
Actually many of the founders were Deists and were wary of Christianity as they should. Some were atheists as well. Saying America is founded by Christians wouldn't make sense considering how Christians tend to destroy any society they control .
Or those who live with their parents and/or leech off them for money. In other words, most of Slashdot.
Hey, it works. Better to live with a mentally ill parent than travel from home to work to parent to home and repeat. Plus, I have less expenses so I can put them in a home later and may have enough for a house down payment.
I agree. I attend a Unitarian Universalist church and it is very community oriented. We study all religions, each worship in individual ways during the moment of silence and teach each other so they can understand other points of views and discover new things.
Also you said "my truth" - how can there possibly be multiple "truths"? Does 1+1 equal both 2 and 3?
Change the number base from 10 to 2 or so and it wil be changed by comparison.
Look at it this way, all religions are right (play well with others) and wrong (the little details like god's appearance, how universe came to be, etc). So all truths are right and wrong in religion. It's a matter of understanding and less of faith.
The persecution complex and gall of these people is incredible.
Thier "persecution" is complex. It stems from our society being focused on science and technology (in general), existance of scholars and intellectuals that study and think about things that aren't Jesus oriented, the imigration and willing convertion of other faiths. With more focus on science, free thought, and people leaving the Jesus faith for other faiths, they feel as though they are being persecuted since less people agree with them.
If Christians don't have enough people that agree with them, they realize they could be wrong.
That was tried before. People were tortured, burned to death, and mutilated just because Christians believe that evil is everywhere and people that disagree with anything a minister says must die. It's in the Bible.
Did I miss some event in the world? When did the term 'christian' and 'terrorist' come together in the same context as blowing yourself up on a bus filled with hapless commuters, or launching daily qassam rockets at kindergarten schools?
Let's see. Christians killed physicians that performed abortions, Christians bombed abortion clinics which killed innocent people (some unborn by the way), Christians harming or killing Muslims after 9/11, and wasn't the executives of Enron Christians when they stole money and caused major damage to the stock market?
Don't get high and mighty on us. Christians have been killing people for every reason from disagreeing with dogma to making herbal cold medicines.

Don't insult managers. How else would they get paid?
If a kid sees porn, it is bad yet when a kid hears the parents fuck, it's OK. Sounds like hypocrisy. Either way the kid is exposed to sex.

Considering how America is progressing, who would blame you?

With fundies acting like idiots, they wonder why people hate them. Nuke the place till rocks glow? Shit, Hitler had a better method.

Too bad local Baptists call us a cult or "evil".
Too bad no one follows it.
Well said. There will always be more morons than Christians. I'd say that morons dress themselves up to hide their true selves.
