A Mac... good to know that someone here is rich >:O
January 23, 2017 at 21:31
Well the thing is you don't understand where Spinoza is coming from when he's talking about God. You think he's talking about what you're talking abou...

You don't have to believe in it to avoid paying your taxes. Don't play dumb.
January 23, 2017 at 21:29
There's no notion of transcendence here, only understanding that the community influences me, and a decadent community disrupts my own life. Therefore...
January 23, 2017 at 21:28
Which is true. Wouldn't you have done the same? If the state is run by incapable people who cannot manage money, why shouldn't you keep the tax money ...
January 23, 2017 at 21:27
So I have a martyr fantasy because I notice that I need my community to exist, and therefore if my community is hurt (or corrupt or lacking virtue) th...

No, he didn't say 0 taxes. Don't be ridiculous. He said a flat tax. That's not taxless utopia.
January 23, 2017 at 21:24
No I should rather let my community fail and destroy itself, then I can die with it as well. That sounds like a good future, I'll certainly choose tha...
January 23, 2017 at 21:24
And did Trump propose a taxless utopia? Nope.
January 23, 2017 at 21:23
No, I will take political action based on my virtue, and I will desire that my community shares in virtue.
January 23, 2017 at 21:22
They are more realistic than the alternatives though, that's for sure.
January 23, 2017 at 21:21
Liberals have always been known for being butthurt and crying like little children that the state doesn't finance their contraception in college and o...
January 23, 2017 at 21:21
:-d I'm a socialist bro... Does it seem to you like I buy the idea of a taxless utopia in the first place like other economic conservatives?
January 23, 2017 at 21:18
Good, then I wish you success :D I'd rather lose the world than lose my virtue.
January 23, 2017 at 21:18
Yeah we're very similar on economics, but obviously you're more libertarian on social issues and I'm more authoritarian. I expected that to be honest.
January 23, 2017 at 21:16
Is this protest by butthurt liberals who fear that their tinder lifestyles are a fantasy that Trump has unmasked? 8-)
January 23, 2017 at 21:14
Hmmm maybe you need to subscribe - I never knew. Actually you can copy the link of the chart for simplicity, and we'll follow the link to access?
January 23, 2017 at 21:13
Yes but the Tories are very corrupt, or at least were during Cameron's time. You'd rather gain the world and lose your soul then? :-d
January 23, 2017 at 21:11
When you write your post, you see on the right hand corner of that place the emoticons button right? Two buttons to the left of that, next to the twit...
January 23, 2017 at 21:10
Good, enjoy your right. That doesn't make you any less crazy or immoral though.
January 23, 2017 at 21:08
Save to your computer, then click "Upload Files" and upload it to your profile like fucking me.
January 23, 2017 at 21:07
Yes and rightfully so. That's what happens in politics. You should do the same POLITICALLY - not through protests and other subterfuges.
January 23, 2017 at 21:06
If you're going to protest in vain, then you're crazy, not to mention immoral and selfish. If that's how you see yourself, go on, but don't expect the...
January 23, 2017 at 21:05
I'm impressed :-d ...
January 23, 2017 at 20:55
They did this politically in Congress. You're supposed to do that there, that's the place where you debate and engage in politics. Not protests. Prote...
January 23, 2017 at 20:52
Oh and this - this is how THEIR lawyers report it. What the hell did you expect? Did you expect their lawyers to say "Oh they were rascals who were br...

:s So you are purposefully going to stop him from carrying out his politics? With full knowledge, you're going to do whatever it takes to stop the wel...
January 23, 2017 at 20:47
I suggest these liberals go back to their Tinder lifestyles, and leave politics alone. This world isn't for them. They should go back to their pink un...

How do you know they were picked up indiscriminately? That's only your opinion. As for threatening them, if they break the law, they should be threate...

:-} says the man who has neither read, nor understood Spinoza
January 23, 2017 at 20:35
Yes, out of the 500,000 only 200 were arrested, and they probably deserved it. If 0.04% of people at a protest get arrested, that's not mass-arrests. ...
January 23, 2017 at 20:33
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWIMt9JxugQ These so called protesters deserve to be thrown in jail immediately. These are beasts, not human beings. T...
January 23, 2017 at 20:28
Yeah 200 is certainly a "mass-arrest" when the protest includes 500,000 people. Please, no more fake news (Y) You, as Trump said, are fake news. And i...
January 23, 2017 at 20:19
:-d Yeah sure it's certainly significant that Labor came at 41% and Tories came at 42% >:O In UK I would vote Lib Dems or Labour. Definitely not Torie...

This illustrates my status as: http://i-6uf0utvje8gy-cdn.plushcontent.com/uploads/files/y3/bf21z48zzokasor7.png If you are interested in my views othe...
January 23, 2017 at 19:55
Well the four parties - UKIP, Lib Dems, Labour, and Tories are virtually tied for me. +/-1% makes no difference. So you saying that "Labour came at th...

And what, given Realpolitik, prevents my goal from being principled? :-} Exactly, but not quite. Realpolitik doesn't work with those ethics which are ...
January 23, 2017 at 19:16
Yes pawns are indeed important, however, clinging to pawns may very well lead to defeat. The paradox of strategy is that any path can lead to defeat. ...
January 23, 2017 at 16:32
Realpolitik doesn't necessarily imply opportunism. Opportunism is taking each and every opportunity available and using it to fulfil your goal/purpose...

Well according to my position a person is of infinite value and thus they cannot be respected without full devotion to them. That would be equivalent ...
January 23, 2017 at 11:27
I, just like Trump, understand RealPolitik - you don't. You live in pink-flying-unicorns fantasy land, and think that world is reality, governed by a ...

More to the point I think Landru was a progressive living in a very conservative environment (he was from Texas). If I lived in such an environment, I...
January 23, 2017 at 10:59
This is such a misreading :-d - in fact quite the contrary, for Nietzsche taking the sword and cutting their head off is slave morality based on resse...
January 23, 2017 at 10:52
Actually, Landru is paradoxically opposed to reason-skeptical conservatism, and not so much opposed to my type of conservatism. I think Landru's focus...

There are hidden costs associated with this, including large future costs. And the US is bearing the costs for it today.
