Libertarians: Still In Search Of Their Perfect World. Practically Irrelevant.

Not all of us do. Some of us get married in synagogues. Some do the justice of the peace thing.

Know what the difference between them and some of you posting on this thread?

It was our choice. Completely irrelevant to what government or anyone else thinks. We honored the tenets of our various religions without government coercion one way or another.

As it should be.

What kind of a morally crippled state does your faith need to be in to think that it needs government sanction for it to exist?

You responded to a post that was not addressed to you. You took it personally. YOU made it "our" business. If you want your private life private, don't answer a post that isn't directed to you with private info. YOU volunteered what WASN'T asked.

[metmom]

Ah... So you've been hoisted on your own petard and are now calling names and yelling for help.

You just said in post 455 that this is a group discussion and now you're whining about her "yelling for help"? She just pinged the group who was having the discussion.

She's right. Your anecdotal *evidence* is totally meaningless. You chose to get married in a church. Big deal. That by no means invalidates what I said in my previous post and it does not tell anyone anything about your position on marriage or homosexual *rights*.

Don't confuse him with the facts.

Thanks, metmom. I missed that “calling for help” part of the post completely.

Thanks, metmom. I missed that “calling for help” part of the post completely.

I didn't miss it, I ignored it. DC pinged Jim yesterday. Was he calling for help? LOL

[metmom]

Rules for thee but not for me.

The byline of the libertarian movement.

[Dead Corpse]

YOU volunteered what WASN'T asked.

So who asked the other poster to come up with an inaccurate, libelous, statement about libertarians and their stance on marriage?

I wasn't aware I needed your prior approval to post. Who do you get your permission from?

[Dead Corpse]

I'm not the one having issues with "facts". You stated something blatantly false. I stood as proof against it.

I'm not the exception that proves the rule either. You'd know this if you were even remotely interested in the truth.

So who asked the other poster to come up with an inaccurate, libelous, statement about libertarians and their stance on marriage?

She gave her OPINION. That's what posters do on forums.

I wasn't aware I needed your prior approval to post. Who do you get your permission from?

Quite the statement in view of this previous one.

Mind your own business.

You need to make up your mind if you want to trumpet your private life on a public forum or you don't. While you're thinking, leave us out of it.

Quote mining is disingenuous and intellectually dishonest.

[Dead Corpse]

A lot of that going on here. On both sides.

I gave my opinion. She gave hers. As you say, that is what posters do on forums.

Rules for thee but not for me.

The byline of libertarianism.

Libertarians are really good at having two standards of behavior. One that let's them do what they wish without repercussions, and one that gives them control of what others do.

Hypocrisy abounds in libertarianism because their actions don't match their words.

Here's a clue to libertarians. We see what you do. We don't listen to what you say. There's a difference and we haven't fried our brains on the drugs you guys push and can till think clearly enough to see the difference. That's why we know what libertarianism is all about.

[DJ MacWoW]

Why are you attributing that statement to me? Can you never address what I posted? Ever?

You debate chaotically and jump all over making wild statements that you cannot back up. You NEVER responded to 407. You have a lot of nerve judging other posters while ignoring your false statements.

[Dead Corpse]

Rules for thee but not for me.

Quite the opposite. One rule, applied to all. No exceptions.

No. Not even you...

[Dead Corpse]

Why are you attributing that statement to me?

The other poster brought it up and it fit perfectly with your other post to me which was little more than a collection of "quotes" you "mined".

I tried to back up a "wild statement" I made. You didn't want to hear the proof. I can't communicate with you if you put your fingers in your ears and shout at the top of your lungs, "I'M NOT LISTENING!!!!"

[metmom]

A lot of that going on here. On both sides.

I'm calling BS on that one.

In virtually all the posts on this thread, people are posting complete sentences and more to respond to. That includes the complete thought that the poster expressed.

The fragment you pulled out of my post doesn't even mean anything on its own as you posted it. It's not even a clause.

Therefore your reply is meaningless.

[Dead Corpse]

I'm calling BS on that one.

You can call it whatever you want. It doesn't change the fact.

Therefore your reply is meaningless.

No. You just don't want to acknowledge the point. There's a difference.
