Critique time!

First you have to fight his PDA which would be better funded since all the suckers are broke.

Who’s responsibility is it when you invest your money?

That makes more sense, regardless, the highest admiration does not give one the ability to speak for another.

[^o)] Who claimed Mises refuted anarcho-capitalism again?

No, a PDA might not even be necessary, as it is basic contract arbitration. PDAs may be required to enforce the arbitration judgment. But it is unlikely that Madoffs PDA would protect him if an arbitrator of his choosing found him in violation of contract. The firm would have nothing to gain, and everything to lose.

That’s irrelevant when contracts are concerned.

See, this is what I am talking about. Instead of trying to be an obstinate gadfly, you should be versed on these topics. Instead of commenting on Hasnas before reading Hasnas, maybe you should actually read the paper on polycentric law. Then, if you still want to maintain a bad position on some of these ideas, at least you can ask more informed questions.

Right now, this level of discourse is very low for someone with several hundred posts on this forum.

You cannot have anarcho-capitalism without the anarcho.

Why would Madoff agree to arbitration? Why would Madoff not choose an arbitrator that agrees with him? Why would Madoff’s own personal PDA not protect him? He pays them. The PDA firm has everything to lose by not protecting him as Madoff is the only one paying them.

In an anarcho-capitalist society there is no one to enforce contracts, let alone “fraud”.

That’s an answer to a specific question or a statement about what you ate, not how much. When you’re talking about protecting rights–it’s all-inclusive.

Now then, does your stupidity know some bounds?

False.

Voluntaryism, panarchy, nonarchy, agorism, lessarchy, polycentric law, pure capitalism, private-law society…

In fact most anarchists do not consider to be a form of anarchy at all.

No, it was definitive.

Now I’m seriously suggesting to you that you end your trolling. Actually, think of it more as a directive.

Really? Then what does “anarcho” mean?

Now you are lying, Giles already said it was not.

Calling comments you don’t like trolling doesn’t make them so and the constant moderator intimidation of thought is getting old.

Its a misnomer, just read the FAQ.

Where’s my car, then. I had a 1988 Cadillac Brougham which someone or some people stole. Where. Is. It. The cops never found it. I never got restitution. Shit–the cops never even LOOKED for it, Giles.

And where’s my restitution or peace of mind knowing that the thug who put a knife to my throat isn’t going to be doing that to anyone anymore? Where is it, GIles? WHERE? Why did the city see fit to give the case to a detective who was retiring in 3 weeks?

Yeah…answer me those, GIles. Answer them well.

No, Giles is backpedalling.

So’s your trolling. bye-bye forever.

Nice lie.

It’s kind of sad that potentially interesting threads have to be ruined by over inflated egos and semantic games.

Because if he didn’t, an arbitrator could find for his opposite, and pursue judgment. Besides, its likely the contract (in a private law society) would have arbitration written in. He would have already agreed to it up front.

Well, he might. But if he clearly violated the contract, then the arbitrator won’t have any standing. And again, the arbitrator would likely already be spelled out.

These questions are a little silly, and indicate to me you did not read Hasnas, when you made your criticism of his paper.

A PDA that doesn’t respect arbitration or contract, isn’t a PDA that will have much business, is it? I mean, what a silly question. It’s like asking why criminals don’t move to SOMECOUNTRY in order to be protected when they commit crime. Do you know any reputable, orderly, peaceful countries that protect criminals?

Again, proof you did not read Hasnas. And now it looks like you went and got yourself banned.

Shame. I’ve invested a lot of time in trying to get you turned around.

Don’t ban him, now he’ll actually have an excuse for blatantly avoiding arguments.

Wow I went to bed and this train-wreck kept on going.

If only the state had intervened to stop us from bantering on like this…

Come on really? He never answered questions, he just dodged. Then he challenged the moderator. He called him a liar, the mod had to follow through, pop-tec forced the decision. Woops. A lesson learned I guess.
