Could this thread be viewed as further evidence that penises are the root of all evil?

It's a good thing you believe so strongly in god, because you should feel very blessed that you have all your basic needs provided for or are able to provide them for yourself. Everyone should be so lucky.

But a rather dangerous blanket ideology in an age of terrorism, isn't it?

that implies Delay has a penis long enough to deep throat, which I submit is an impossibility at 1 1/2 inches - in other words, he thought he had a hair until he peed out of it

What I meant was that socially libertarians are liberal but economically they are very conservative. They hate government...just like I do! But they seem to concentrate more on gaining rights to legally smoke pot, rather than doing away with frivolous departments like the national endowment of the arts.

They feel that people should be able to do as they wish with their own bodies even if it ruins their lives. We don't live in a perfect libertarian country, so that isn't true. We live in a country that will not allow people to live with their own decisions. BRANDON has to pay for their stupid decisions; JOSH has to pay for their stupid decisions, etc...We would have to support people who freely choose to "shoot up" and then become incapable of holding jobs, obtaining housing, and taking care of their children. So the libertarian argument that "drugs hurt no one but the user" is not true, at least until we've repealed the welfare state.

A little jump, a swig of moonshine, and we'd be married in the Lord's eyes.

What I do not get is why is the govt. in the marriage defning business in the first place. Why are rights assigned to married people? That is BS and it needs to stop - then everyone is on equal footing as gay people can marry in every state in the union right now - the states just do not recognize that religion as opposed to traditional marriage.

I didn't say that there should be NO government in our lives. Just a very limited amount. Libertarianism’s political philosophy strongly advocates individual rights, private property and free market capitalism. Libertarian views of government functions tend to be limited to protecting civil liberties and the free market through a police force, a military, and the courts.

I would up that to $50,000, personally.

Me too - that works for me.

and - no deductions of any kind (kids mortgage - nothing) and a 15% rate. Few people realize how rich the govt. would be with that in place.

Right, because the people with money find all the loopholes and funky deductions which they couldn't do under this type of tax. Plus, I wouldn't be taxed at all.

Strand, you are a genius.

$50,000 is a little high as many consider that to be a very very good living. I would put the cap at $30,000 as that is more reasonable to me. Of corse Diss. would tax no one making less than $100,000 and then at 50% or more because he hates the so called rich

As for me being a genius, well its nothing that I didn't know
