Same horseshit as always...a little originality would be nice.

*sigh*

In reverse order...


"Don't participate in any economic activity."

Conflating voluntary transactions (I buy 'this' over 'here' instead of 'that' over 'there', or choose to do without) with theft (gimme that or I'll jail you) is dumb.

#

"Don't rely on emergency services"

I don't.

#

"state-funded roads"

That I pay for by way of state sales taxes...why would I not use what I've paid for?

#

"Society has a cost and that cost is cooperation and mutual support."

Society is nuthin' but a word for a buncha folks living in close proximity to one another and not killing each other.

It becomes 'jail' when communitarians (Left and Right) decide that the one owes the many sumthin' more than not stealing and not killing.

#

"...the benefits are greater to me than the cost of cutting myself off from all of it."

Then mire yourself up to your neck in it.

##

"so predictable"

What's predictable is that you'd try to make a lame joke at my expense.

I laugh at your lack of novelty, not the joke.

##

"How strange that you would use English to communicate that. Shouldn't you be making up a new language, rather than participate in something that the entire culture has developed over a period of many centuries of deep cooperation, a tie that binds us together so strongly?"

The day some motherfucker with the big stick tries to tax me for using English is the day I might just do that.

##

So stupid (all of you, for missing [or, being incapable of comprehending] the point of anything I've written in this thread [and others]).

No wonder the lot of you crave being governed.


Who's next?
