J Demetriou, I'm with you even if you're not interested. As a very average intellect with almost no vanity, I do enjoy watching you heavy weights bandying ideas around. As for obnoxious Obnoxio, his psychotic ravings do worry me. Not much though.

Who cares? I'm not interested.

1943 might be Guthrum's real-life neighbour although fuck knows what he is talking about here. There seems to be some sort of dispute going on between him and Guthrum. Guthrum says he is a mental, I'm inclined to agree.

What.

I'll be expanding on this issue soon. Under a piece called 'what is 'private property''

I think that what this post, but presumably not the underlying thinking, has failed to address is the issue of ownership. Our modern concept of absolute ownership (which doesn't really exist on land, or why do we have to pay tax on it) is historically unusual - most concepts of ownership include family, community, God and or others. To take the debate on ownership forward therefore you have

Gun ownership is very awkward and contentious in Britain. I would personally put the matter to refendum and let the people decide.

You don't support gun ownership?

I recognised that name Minton, so I re-read your post and have realised I actually have a copy of Ground Control, but never bothered to read it.

Will do though.

2010-01-28T12:00:57.945Z

As much as the Propertarian Party UK would like to fool everyone into thinking they are the standard bearers of libertarianism, I am afraid that not only are they wrong (they represent one small wing of the philosophy) but they have us as opponents to contend with.

2010 bodes poorly for them, I'm afraid.

Political theorists on the libertarian spectrum debate and argue this, and other issues, time and again. It is not set in stone. I feel there is a strangeness in that those who say the above is

2010-01-26T23:26:44.504Z

Oh yeah, the hypocrisy and stupidity is still there, it just comes across in a different way. A different type of weirdo entirely, are the Propertarians. Sorry, I mean, 'libertarians'.

Dear Sir, we are at heart anarchists and believe in zero state and zero authority. Oh, unless one happens to own a company or a building, in which case it's like a pheasant shoot. And if you

Apropos of nothing gentlemen, do you remember how the EDP thing started?

Take a look at Bella Gerens. Very humorous. My comments are waiting "moderation". I think there might be some entertainment to be had from your Libertarian friends after all - I am sure they are all far more intelligent than the EDP trogs, and more privileged to boot - more interesting then...

"JP,

The compass that will point you in the right direction is in your grasp. Use it. It is your recognition that the pursuit by an individual of a successful human life requires autonomy in the application of his reason to his actions in the service of that life. Sustaining this

2010-01-26T20:13:08.863Z

A pretty long article to return to the anti-propertarian points.

I don't really see your dystopia developing out of private property - after all they'd still be beholden to the few state laws dealing with force against others.

On the other hand, people like Peter Rachman managed to come close to your nightmare without resorting to a libertarian state - merely relying

I don't know if it is bollocks! It seems to capture two important concepts, both of which have been previously discussed.

Firstly, if we compromise our values and ideals in order to get behind someone "who gets things done", for whom "action, not words" is important, then we end up with back where we are now. Actions are not inherently good; goodness is

What a load of fucking bollocks. Sorry, Kevin, but it just is. I'm not even going to try and debate it.
