How to Argue Like a Rothbardian

Slam!

I never said Alex was nice, in fact i said the exact opposite. But there are things you can learn from him.

Who to support in State’s Rights? Depnds on the situation. States should have rights to set and enforce drug laws (maybe, I kind of see drug use as “speech” and protected by the first ammendment but… I digress), BUT NOT to enslave black people.

Im well aware of the fallacy of there is no truth; kind of why I said it. Ever hear of the “exception that proves the rule?”

Zing, slam…are we having a Batman punching soundeffects day? [:P]

Whammy!

Economic theory and philosophical theory are the same thing . . .

OK. I disagree because someone can have incomplete knowledge and therefore not have an established ideology but have enough knowledge to partially criticize other doctrines.

I have indeed heard that nonsensical line hundreds of times.

So states rights are simply code for slavery? Could not a federal government enslave others like a state government?

Rules aren’t built on exceptions.

Economics cannot tell you why you should value money. So no economics and philosophy are not the same thing.

Obviously they have an established ideology, simply not a term for it. In which case their own term could be easily made up to give it a name.

Yes forget my stance that states shuld have rights to set and enforce drug laws, but ya I onlly see states rights as a slavery issue. Like I said, you guys like to throw around ad hominin, and straw man, then do it yourself.. You say markets cant be predicted, then predict markets. Typical, hypocritical right wing wit for all the idiots to shove their heads in shit. ( a little poetry for ya)

Right wing; ostrich in a manure factory

Adam E Zandarski. You have worn out your welcome.

No. The word “established” implies somewhat static. I did not claim that the incomplete knowledge was unchanging.

The word “philosophy” refers to the nonnatural sciences. The two facets of the nonnatural sciences is (1) economics and (2) ethics.

Classic. I will now use this at all times on the Internet for this response.

No problem, the smirk just seemed a better response than bothering to type a long winded response to Giles. The boy seems really uppity these days.

That line is really annoying.

This is not a sentence.

When I grow up, I want to be a witty reply.

I love ambiguity![sarcasm]

Indeed. I plan on submitting to the WHATWG consortium the suggestion of making a sarcasm tag to style all sarcastic content as follows:sarcasmfont.jpg
