Quote: I agree with you on that, I merely disagree that libertarianism is the exception.
Ah. That makes more sense. No, libertarianism is no exception, I can see how I might have implied otherwise. |

| Exclavius First, I would like to thank you for reading and answering my post. I realize we may have gotten off a bit on the wrong foot on that other thread, but I can see you have well formed opinions and the intelligence to defend said opinions coherently (even though I don't completely agree :D ) ... |

| I was poking fun at the OP's generalizations of other political ideologies with one of my own. It wasn't a serious dismissal or insult hence the "generalizations are fun" addition. I respect the ideals behind libertarianism, just I found the OP's statements about other political ideologies rather s... |

Quote: I'm sure there are a few around here somewhere but I imagine they are busy tearing each other apart over just how much government they are willing to tolerate. Sweeping generalizations are fun.
Oh my yes, they are. Made my opening post so much easier  |

| Love that attitude, Exclavius. Very "Holier then Thou." Being American, I am incapable of stopping myself from drooling at such a magnificent display of cultural arrogance. |

| Simple question. I see this thread has it's usual run of cynical conservatives and idealistic liberals. How many libertarians are among us? Frankly, I'd feel a lot safer here if I knew there were others out there who thought both the left and the right wings are full of morons :) And to give us some... |

| It never ceases to amaze me how people try to paint the free market as an enemy of freedom. Neoliberalism is the force it is because it's been demonstrated REPEATEDLY throughout the last one hundred years that a market economy is essential.

| Don't forget, people on the right are "bigoted rednecks" / "patriotic" People on the left are "enlightened" / "pinko radicals" I think I have just perfectly demonstrated the American political mind. Neither left nor right has a monopoly on the lunatics. I suggest you good people on both sides of the... |

| Greetings and so forth. Not sure what to say here, but I don't expect that to be an uncommon problem. I guess that's why I'm so wordy, it eats up the clock. I also ramble sometimes and go off topic. Nothing new under the sun, I'm sure. Anyway, My name is Jake, I'm 27, soon to be 28, and I'm basicall... |
