Wandering the information superhighway, he came upon the last refuge of civilization, PoFo, the only forum on the internet ...

Classical liberalism. The individual before the state, non-interventionist, free-market based society.

The views of younger people are the opposite of what is regarded "mainstream". Young people in the US is leftwing because older people are rightwing.

And off course the prominent ones are over 30, they are in all ideologies, but for Mr. Dorf, such niceties aren`t going to destroy a bad argument.

And reducing homelessness, what a horrible goal.

[Todd Edit: I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that was a typo. Don't want to see that again.]

If young people in the US are leftwing, then that is contrary to your argument that 18-30 year olds are libertarian.

And reducing homelessness, what a horrible goal.


So? Is this thread designed to discuss homelessness? I thought as a socialist you didn't approve of economic hardship. :lol:

Young people are both more leftwing and both more rightwing. Anyhow, the survey I have seen implies that young people are more radical, but that the right/left divide actually is quite constant between the age groups. More young people are communist and libertarian, while few young people are socialdemocrats or one-nation conservatives.

You mentioned laws. So which laws are you referring to?

demanding that the laws of society should be written in stone

The only "law of society" that I know of inherant in Libertarianism is that, above all else, physcal coersion is wrong because it violates self-ownership. I'd love to hear you discuss what laws you are talking about, aside from just accusing people of being idiots.

It is exactly what you refer to I was thinking about Todd D. I just think that is so damn self evident, that Mr Dork just had to understand what I meant.

Anarchism basically believes in survival of the fittest, no government, basically a return to hunter-gatherer society, in my opinion.


Return to a hunter-gatherer society? Have you even read any Bakunin, Goldman, Proudhon or Krotopkin? Not a damn one of these leading anarchist theorists advocate this.

People think differenty from you, dipshit. Remember that.

Heard of sharia law? That is an 'unchangeabe law of society'. Who are you to state it's a 'bad' law?

Most prominent libertarians are over thirty! And younger people generally hve more leftist views. They's care more about limiting racism and homelessness than any libertarian viewpoint.


True, although the odd thing being that leftists increase unemployment, and sometimes increase racism. Remember early AA? From what I've heard the AA system they have now is altogether laughable, since a college working in it's best interest wouldn't discriminate.

And Norweigan, you're fucking hilarious. Did you know that? Turning Mr. Dorf into Mr Dork, what an uncanny sense of wit you have. I'm sitting here laughing my fuckin' ass off at you.
