I really don't know if I can have conversation on this broad due to my unique opinions regarding some issues. I'm not very good at expressing myself in the written word, and afraid I may come across as insensitive. I just want to be loved.

There's nothing wrong with being a Libertarian.

We libertarians will someday take over the world!

And when we do, look out! We are going to.....




LEAVE YOU ALONE.

I"m a soft libertarian.

I accept that some government programs are necessary, but that whenever possible, we should side with free markets and personal freedoms.

I super-support the idea of all the Libertarians connecting, but what's this got to do with work and finding a job?

As usual, I'm confused.

I appreciate your honesty and humility. Anyway, there are plenty of other libertarians around here even though I'm not *exactly* one of them but I promise that I will disagree and gently as possible with you. :D

Well, if you will be hated, hounded and stalked or not depends on this very simple question (one I find especially relevant when facing libertarians):

What is your view on the scientific evidence about anthropogenic climate change?

(Hint: This is not just an opinion piece. There is a correct answer and a wrong answer to that question.)

Oh, and unlike AspieRogue, I make *no* promises of being gentle if you provide the wrong answer.

Maybe I should mention that the OP is no longer a member of WP due to her bad behaviour elsewhere on the site.

I am pretty vitriolic at times, and I have gotten no warnings from admins at all...

I'm strongly in favor of Global Warming. The last thing we should be doing is to try to stop it.
