True or false: any personal freedom that brings harm to society in general should...

[boedicca]

So are resident libertarians believe "philosophy" and "society" are shams.

Nobody is saying that, dimwit.

What has been said is that they are entirely non-corporeal and subjective....They don't exist anywhere but in the "mind" (for lack of a better term in your case) of the person conjuring up what they are.

Society is just a bunch of individual people. In a Free Society, most of the interactions take place in Civil Society, unfettered by government interference. Such a system holds individuals accountable and encourages them to take responsibility for their impact upon society. The rule of law holds those who infringe on the rights of others accountable.

In the present day U.S., Big Government has progressively destroyed much of Civil Society and replaced it with micro management and bureaucratic control. Yes, we have a society, but it is a far less civilized one.

That is worthy of any far left philosopher.

We live in the here and now, and to suggest that philosophy or society or libertarianism (because that is the logical extension, minion mine) are "mental" shams is idiocy.

No wonder you are reside in the incredibly small minority in our midst.

This isn't about me, asshole.

You can't even grasp, let alone refute, the point being made.

No point is being made, OddPhilosopher, is the point.

Society does exist: fact.

We are part of it: fact.

That is not hard to understand.

Go back and read the Constitution again, slowly, out loud.

Such primeval minds, they. Does anyone doubt they will remain in the small minority in this country?

No, most of us don't believe they are shams. However, society is an abstraction, not an entity with rights or authority. Libtards are always using the term "society" when they really mean government.

BINGO. Society is not government. And government is not society.

 

[bripat9643]

All philosophy is a sham. But I will agree that libertarianism is a particularly childish sham.

All philosophy is a sham?

Congratulations. You've achieved the surreal.

Quite the opposite. I have acheived the real. Philosophers are lucky. They have no responsibility to implement their ideas. They can ignore the simple fact that it is all about human beings and human beings do not fit into neat little boxes. Philosophy is always very clean and simple, humans are messy and complicated.

You're spouting philosophy, numskull.

Society exists?

Then it should be easy cheesy to answer these questions:

Is it bigger than a bread box?

Is it plant, animal or mineral?

Is it liquid, solid, gaseous or plasma?

What is its weight?

What color(s) is it?

Does it speak English?

Where can I find "society" to ask if all the things you have said about it are in fact true?

Go back and read the Constitution again, slowly, out loud.

The constitution is irrelevant to the conversation.

One person cannot harm "society"

 

[Uncensored2008]

One person cannot harm "society"

"Society" describes the social interactions of individuals within a given community. Society cannot be "harmed," per se, only changed.

And the Board roars with laughter at OddSpeaker's diatrible.

It wasn't a diatribe, sub-cretin....It was s series of questions, which you unartfully dodged.

 

[JakeStarkey]

What we have here is the normal ones, like me, watching the liberts doing a circle jerk with their own.

Amazing.

 

[Oddball]

That's not any answer to the questions, either.

 

[JakeStarkey]

It's the appropriate response to a nonsense comment of yours.

Your libertarian philosophy is nothing more than a screen for "I don't want to pay taxes."

No respect for liberts, for sure.

 

[Oddball]

It's appropriate when are in over your pointy little head and have no answers or the slightest substance to add to the conversation...Just like your every other post in this thread.

But we're used to it by now.

To a lot of people they are one in the same.

[Oddball]

Nobody said it was an aberration, you simp.

It's an abstraction:

ab•strac•tion (æbˈstræk ʃən)

n.
1. an abstract or general idea or term.
2. the act of considering something in terms of general qualities, apart from concrete realities, specific objects, or actual instances.
3. absent-mindedness; inattention.
4. the quality of being abstract.

Also, very apropos:

abstraction
the taking of another’s property for one’s own use.
