The real libertarian position is since there is nothing in the Constitution about “age of consent” that it is bogus law.
Says who?
About the only time conservatives sound dumb is when they talk about libertarians.
Mary Ruwart is a major libertarian figure.
A rival called her out for her thoughts in a 1999 book called Short Answers to the Tough Questions. “Children who willingly participate in sexual acts have the right to make that decision as well, even if it’s distasteful to us personally,” Ruwart wrote. “When we outlaw child pornography, the prices paid for child performers rise, increasing the incentives for parents to use children against their will.”
““Ruwart was the Libertarian Party of Texas’s nominee for U.S. Senate in 2000, where she faced incumbent Republican Kay Bailey Hutchison.”
Ruwart has served on the Libertarian National Committee, and was a keynote speaker at the 2004 Libertarian National Convention. In 2002, libertarians launched an unsuccessful lobbying campaign to get Dr. Ruwart appointed Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner.
Satanic.
Ruwart wrote.

That is pure libertarianism, no wonder they are allied with the left to destroy conservatism and our Christian culture in America.
What some on this thread don't know, is that the National Party has also shown an indication of where libertarians stand on child porn.
The pot would get stoned.
Again, I know of NO LIBERTARIANS that share that (disturbing..) point of view. Another person tried painting ALL Libertarians with the child porn/perv label, which frankly is stupid.
Do they define what age is an adult? No they do not.
Ron Paul wrote a book , ‘The Revolution; A Manifesto’. In it did he not state the age of consent, and therefore adulthood, should be 12 years old?
Seems pretty clear to me Libertarians won`t define adulthood but Ron Paul gave us an insight.
Ditto

Some of the ignorance regarding libertarianism is astounding.
I have met a few hundred libertarians and attended dozens of meetings and never ran across this belief.
Let’s poll nambla and see haw many are dems and GOP and then generalize.
That’s a stretch.
Thanks for the ping!
LOL, no libertarian had told you they are for the government to stay out of child porn, so that means it never happened?
Thats cute. Actually libertarianism does pretty well among a lot of the people that are libertarian on things, for instance NAMBLA.
Do you really not think that a philosophy that calls for open everything from abortion to drugs, to borders, and homosexuals in the military etc., doesn’t tend to attract people who aren’t against those things, and in fact like them?
Read post 64, does it look like the libertarians turned against Mary Ruwart, or turned to her?
Here is a question that I would like to see you answer, although your post indicates and answer in advance.
Do you think that if a resolution was placed before the libertarians requesting that states enforce child porn laws, that the libertarians would jump on the chance to vote yes, or refuse to vote on it?
However, some of you are correct in stating that there are other cancer fighting qualities in Thalidomide as well.
“Unlabeled Uses
Graft versus host disease after bone marrow transplantation; refractory multiple myeloma; primary brain tumors; appetite stimulant for cachexia in advanced cancer; aphthous ulcers; prostate cancer (in combination with docetaxel).”
I'm a pharmacy student, and whatever you may have seen, dietary reasons are not a recommended indication for thalidomide. My source is Clinical Pharmacology, the standard reference for drug properties in pharmacy. The labelled (i.e., FDA approved) indications for thalidomide are leprosy and multiple myeloma. Dietary reasons are not even a recognized off-label use. Drugs.com is wrong.
you are wrong. Libertarians distinguish between adults and children.
I notice you trolling this issue regularly and I hold my nose. Just wanted to make the one point today. Not wanting to hold on to the tar baby.
Have at it.

Stopped reading right there. The poop was piled too high to see anything else.
-you also stopped *thinking*., right there. Sooner or later, the ridiculous federal war on marijuana will end on YOUR doorstep, as it did with this mayor, whose dogs were shot, and they almost shot a family member.

Excellent post, particularly the Ayn Rand quote from Atlas Shrugged.
