How on Earth are we gonna solve big problems like trade in human beings, internet piracy, drugs and prostitution if we don’t have a strong government?
Through the free market.
/thread
using legitimate means.
- We do have a strong government.
- Why hasn’t the strong government solved those problems?
- Because it makes no sense to protect rights by violating them in the process.
How on earth are we going to get rid of them with one?
Why are any of these your problems?
Is that a stupid joke or what ?
Free market.
Lol!
I’m more worried about giant asteroids.
Hahaha, if this is serious…
Be nice. He’s new around here, and he’s asking the sort of questions people ask when they are learning about libertarianism from the ground up.
I believe more people would become drug addicts if they were legal. Are libertarians in favor of allowing grocery stores to sell heroine?
And don’t libertarians support intellectual proterty rights?
Edit: You don’t have to be nice. It’s hard to offend me. Just give me honest questions, and I’ll be satisfied.
Yes. (to the heroine question)
By the way, Heroine was sold in drugstores.
Is heroine considered a food?
no.
Sure! Bayer originated heroin, and it was sold in every corner drugstore, to treat coughs for several years.
Again, how can you disallow a store from selling a product? It is on their property, and ostensibly, they will sell it to people who want to buy it. So it’s definitely a peaceful exchange. I worked with heroin addicts, and would never want to take it myself, but I have no moral authority to stop someone else from using it.
When and where?
Like this.
