the smallest minority in the world is the individual. those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.

Nobody takes exception with according individuals rights or with according individual rights. Nearly everyone takes exception with individuals overstepping their rights. It's a question of limits, not a question of absolute grants and denials.

Good ideas don't require government force?

Okay lets work on that

Are traffic lights a good idea or bad idea?

Do they require the threat of enforcement to work?

No, they work off of mans good will toward others and the perseverance of reptiles.

You have no rights as an individual. You dont even have permission to use the law without a licence.

Your first statement is wrong. Your second is a matter of quality control, not rights.
"Quality" LMAO ..typical sheeple you are.

So you admit your first statement is wrong, as indeed you should.

What is your second statement about, if not quality control? Their is no right, codified or otherwise, to practice law.
 
every time we object to a thing being done by government, the socialists claim we object to it being done at all

Those who feel that individuals aren't equal, can't claim to be defenders of the people, like the US elections where people in Wyoming get a vote 3 times as powerful as those in California or Texas.
 
Modern liberal capitalism is too soulless, too atomizing, too destructive of basic institutions like family, faith and village that give life meaning. Liberal individualism doesn’t produce the sort of virtuous, self-restrained people that are required to sustain it.
 
if American children are not taught the principles of freedom, America will not be free for very long!

If you stop for a red light at an intersection where you can see a mile in every direction ...
And you remain there until the light turns green, even though you can clearly see that nothing is coming, and no police/cameras are anywhere around ...

Is that a good idea or a bad idea?

In that case i

In that case I exercise my individual right to ignore that light after coming to a stop then proceed to run the red.
In MN red light cameras are considered unconstitutional to the state constitution.

You would actually be exercising "freedom" ... Not a right.

The only reason why anyone would sit there until the light turned green ...
Would be if they were willing to surrender common sense and freedom to an imaginary threat and an absent enforcement mechanism.

I cannot agree with the title of the thread.

It is a good idea for companies not to dump toxic chemical into our water supply, but it took government force to stop it from happening.

It is a good idea not to rob a bank, but what outside of government force stops anyone from doing so?

Only individuals have rights, moron. The concept of rights makes no sense when applied to groups. A group has rights only in the sense that the individuals within the group have rights.

Of course, you haven't got the slightest clue what a right actually is. You believe a right is whatever the government says it is.

They don't require government force. Private roads can have traffic lights, and they don't require police to enforce.

That's because government owns the waterways. If you allow people to dump sewage onto your property, then you got no one to blame but yourself. A libertarian would know that.

Your post is more proof that you are no libertarian.
