I demonstrated quite clearly that each of those was force in self defense.
No, you just strung out a bunch of text dancing around the topic at hand.

Nope. It's pretty much in line with libertarian philosophy. Bastiat said of the Law that it was the "collective organization of the individual right to self defense" and that if any collective law strayed beyond that which an individual had a right to do then the Law exceeded its purpose.That makes you an anarchist, and anarchists are idiots.
Then you should be about to show that with a counter argument rather than an ad hominem.No, you just strung out a bunch of text dancing around the topic at hand.
Sure you do. You want the government to have certain laws, and you want the government to enFORCE those laws.I agree the government has the ability to force people to do what it wants, I don't think it should have that ability and those are two separate things.
I do. Laws that are consistent with the use of force for self defense.Sure you do. You want the government to have certain laws, and you want the government to enFORCE those laws.
Among others, I am sure.I do. Laws that are consistent with the use of force for self defense.
What you're sure of and what you can prove with a rational argument appear to be two different things but I welcome you proving otherwise.Among others, I am sure.
Your supposition is still just that until supported by evidence.Thus, you do not have issue with the government forcing people to do things, so long as you agree with those things.
So, let me get this straight...What you're sure of and what you can prove with a rational argument appear to be two different things but I welcome you proving otherwise.
Your supposition is still just that until supported by evidence.
Yep. To put it more clearly I believe that force is only justified, even collectively, when it is a collective organization of what would be an individual right to self defense.So, let me get this straight...
The ONLY laws you support are those that deal with the use of force for self-defense.
The ONLY laws.
That's your claim.
Right?
What draft?Biden admin requires trans women to register for draft if they were born male
“US citizens or immigrants who are born male and changed their gender to female are still required to register. Individuals who are born female and changed their gender to male are not required to register.”thepostmillennial.com
I will go a step further.
WOMEN should register for the draft. Men and women are the same.
Ladies, time for you to go to war.
If men and women are exactly the same, then go die in war.
So, you do not support taxation of any kind, regulation of labor of any kind, regulation of food and water standards of any kind, mandatory public education of any kind, laws concerning personal, physical, or real prooprty of any kind, laws of any kind regarding marriage or adoption, or laws of any kind against discrimination based on race or religion or gender.Yep.

The force doesn't come into play in negotiating how to run a society, it comes in when you break the laws. You're not forced to pay taxes unless you choose to own property or engage in commerce, rather than barter, regulation of food and water, i.e. protecting it from contamination falls under defense, as does labor, denying your children education is harmful, I'm not sure what force you're implying with marriage laws other than holding you to a contract you willingly entered into, zoning and traffic laws also ensure safety. What else am I missing?So, you do not support taxation of any kind, regulation of labor of any kind, regulation of food and water standards of any kind, mandatory public education of any kind, laws concerning personal, physical, or real prooprty of any kind, laws of any kind regarding marriage or adoption, or laws of any kind against discrimination based on race or religion or gender.
Or zoning laws, traffic laws, and/or building codes.
Or laws that allow for the enforcement of same.
Right?
Classic pseudo-libertarian talk. I'll start a thread about that so as not to derail this one.The force doesn't come into play in negotiating how to run a society, it comes in when you break the laws.

So? You're still forced to pay them; the fact you choose to engaged in the things that are taxed doesn't matter.The force doesn't come into play in negotiating how to run a society, it comes in when you break the laws
You're not forced to pay taxes unless you choose to own property or engage in commerce....
You are not legally able to use force to protect your in this instances, so the enforcement of these things has nothing to do with the individual right to self-defense.Regulation of food and water, i.e. protecting it from contamination falls under defense, as does labor,
But you agree that people should be forced to educate their children; this has nothing to do with the individual right to self defense.denying your children education is harmful, I
Again: The fact you choose to engaged in the things the government can enforce doesn't matter; the enforcement of these laws has nothing to do with the individual right to self defense.'m not sure what force you're implying with marriage laws other than holding you to a contract you willingly entered into,

Sure.Classic pseudo-libertarian talk. I'll start a thread about that so as not to derail this one.
I think it does. How can you argue force when you chose to engage in commerce? Force is when you're not given a choice.So? You're still forced to pay them; the fact you choose to engaged in the things that are taxed doesn't matter.
Sure it does. The people who choose to maintain a system of commerce have a right to seek redress from people who would rob it of value.The enforcement of these tax laws have nothing to do with the individual right to self-defense.
We are within our right to seek redress from harm.You are not legally able to use force to protect your in this instances, so the enforcement of these things has nothing to do with the individual right to self-defense.
Neglect is harmful.But you agree that people should be forced to educate their children; this has nothing to do with the individual right to self defense.
Your actions don't come free of responsibility, that's not how liberty works.Again: The fact you choose to engaged in the things the government can enforce doesn't matter; the enforcement of these laws has nothing to do with the individual right to self defense.
I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the collective organization of the individual right to self defense is. But it's probably best discussed in the thread the other guy is creating.You are not legally able to use force to protect your in this instances; as such, the enforcement of these tax laws have nothing to do with the individual right to self-defense.
I don't believe people can own natural resources without force. I'm not sure of the force you imagine in adoption. Say I have a child that I can't care for and choose to allow someone else to become that child's guardian. Where's the force? As for discrimination people do that all the time. It's only when you try deny access to a portion of commerce that people of different races, religions or genders contribute to and are thus entitled to are their interests protected.And I note you left out , laws concerning personal, physical, or real property of any kind, laws of any kind regarding adoption, or laws of any kind against discrimination based on race or religion or gender.
I believe people have a right to collectively organize. As long as they do so in a way that doesn't exert force on others other than in self defense I believe I'm being consistent.So it is clear you DO support the enforcement of laws that has nothing to do with the individual right to self defense.
Be more specific. What force do you imagine I wish to exert on you. Describe it.And even then...
You, yourelf, state you only agree with and approve of the government use of force when it realates to what would be an individual right to self defense; thus, you disagre with and disapprove of the government use of force when it doesn't
This takes us back to....
You do not take issue with the government forcing people to do things, so long as you agree with those things.
Anyone can pull a trigger. Everyone should go to war, right?
Exactly. The outrage is mighty selective. Allah forbid I call a guy in a flowered top with a five o'clock shadow "sir," or make my granddaughter wait for him to come out of the girls bathroom before she goes in. Those should be hate crimes. But a chick who proclaims herself a real man isn't all that offended not to be allowed to register for something she's not interested in.
Not everyone is interested in furthering the delusions of others, so why can't that be respected also?
Agreed about the draftees not being needed. That would be a good thread to start.
