Why would I care what you say or think about me, or anything else, if you ever got around to thinking instead of spouting a lot of parochial judgements and ideological prejudices you've picked up along the way. If it makes you happy, I'm all for it.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 7:39 pmNo one has ever pointed a gun at me. I also go about my daily life without ever agonising over whether or not I'm breaking some absurd law.RCSaunders wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 2:32 pmCooperation is two or more individuals each voluntarily agreeing to participate in something to their mutual benefit. When one or more of those individuals holds a gun to force participation of others in anything they would not otherwise have chosen to be part of, it is not cooperation, it is oppression. Cooperation does not require obedience or the use or threat of force to back it up. Laws do.vegetariantaxidermy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 27, 2022 1:04 am
It's not the 'govt. telling me what to do'. It's called co-operation. Making an effort to live in harmony with others. This benefits everyone, including me, making life as pleasant as it can be for all. No govt. can enforce laws if a population chooses not to follow them. It's a bit like a marriage. There's no point in only one party making an effort. Think of traffic lights. What could anyone do if everyone chose to ignore them? What you crave is anarchy, which is extremely UNpleasant for everyone except a few opportunistic kunts (and there are always plenty of those in any population).
Your position is absurd. I'm over trying to discuss 'freedom' with idiot Americans.
ps. American is an ethnicity?
pps. If you don't want to be stereotyped then don't behave like a stereotype...
I think your ideas are horrible and will ultimately only do you harm (and perhaps those you directly influence as well), but they certainly don't harm me in any way. Just hope you can be as happy and delighted with this world and life as I am.
