Bumpage.........

This is further proof that the interior of a mind this complex needs redecorating..:-)

The minimum wage argument is an excellent one. You could arbitrarily raise the minimum wage to whatever you wanted and the prices of goods and services would rise in exact proportion to whatever you set it to.

[Falcon4.0]

Just ONE flaw in this list.

LOGIC!

[jo6pac]

Now there's a pair to draw to. (bump)

My biggest problems with minimum wage and Child labor laws are not so much economic, but cultural. By restricting low income, supplementary jobs, we greatly inhibit our ability to instill our youth with a work ethic. Do you remember when you'd pull into a service station, get your window washed, and have your oil checked at no charge? When's the last time that happened to you? Wonder why that went away? If and when that happens these days, I tip liberally, though it used to be expected, not too many years ago.

[Joe 6-pack]

It doesn't get any better than this!

14. If teaching the proper use of birth control leads to fewer unwed mothers, why wouldn't the teaching of the proper use of firearms lead to fewer shootings?

Eddie Eagle BUMP!!

"Just ONE flaw in this list.

Understood...confronting a liberal with logic can be like trying to teach a fish to ride a bicycle. However, at a minimum, it usually gets them to shut up, and that, in and of itself, is a worthy objective.

Joe, upon reading this thread, my mind was filled with imgaes of an liberal android beginning to smoke from its artificial brain, as it tries to reason out the stances it had taken in debates. Thanx, I needed that!

[americalost]

Very good on the gun control. Need to add pithy arguments against the current crop of peaceastani crowd, now, too.

[shiva]

I will try to answer some of these #1. A woman should be able to abort for any reason-

#3. I would think its morally wrong to kill another in the situation you described. The reason is that I think it is wrong to kill another except in extreme circumstances- self defense, war time

Correct me if I'm wrong, but do I see a One Eyed Jack here?

[americalost]

#8. It certainly is possible to be governed with consent without the populace being armed. Many Western democracies are governed in such a fashion.

Where, England? The people are subjects. Canada? Ditto. Are you answering these rhetorical questions to spark arguments, or did you not understand the gist of the post?

[Joe 6-pack]

I sniff libertarianism here. That's generally o.k. by me, but your advocacy of abortion rights makes your position untenable. Read this , then come back and argue about individual rights.

As to the minimum wage issue, my point is, whether the gov't raises the minimum wage a dollar or five hundred dollars, it is arbitrary and severely impact upon the rights of the employer/ entrepreneur to value labor in a free market. One can only pay an employee a percentage of what that employee's skills or labor bring in, lest the employer take a loss. Mandated minimums ultimately result in an employer going out of business due to cost/ benefit inequities. If you were my employee, and you were directly responsible for bringing in $6.00 per hour to my business, yet, I was spending $8.00 x hour for your management, insurance, administration, salary, benefits, etc., I'm actually losing money to keep you employed! I'd be out of business, and you'd be out of a job, and our clientele would be out of a service if your wage, the worth of your labor, were defined externally, outside of the market.

As to the concept of government by consent, you're way out there. Human history, indeed, 20th Century history, demonstrates a pattern wherein governments try to dominate individuals. Anyone who believes he is living freely, without the means to resist domination, is fooling himself.
