By your same argument should it be legal for a person to selfishly masturbate on the street corner? Because that is just one example of how far the Libertarians would accept going with their selfish unfettered logic of what freedom ultimately means. If not, why not? "They are not hurting anyone and if you don't like it then don't look" would be their argument.

Freedom does not mean the right to jack it in public, nor would a Libertarian argue that it does.

Would said Libertarian be able to explain how that behavior harms another? Unless you're arguing that laws may be passed against behavior that merely offends another?
