10 year old third-grader strip-searched at school by Principal After Being Accused of Stealing
Comment:
“The assisstant principal was within her legal authority, her legal right, to do the search”
…So I suppose if I were the head principle, and she was accused of stealing $20, I would have the legal right to strip search her…right? Or how about her daughter? I suppose this would be exactly the same outcome if the sexes of the parties were reversed…right?
F— the schools!
@Aristippus: Wow, that is an amazing bibliography! Thanks for sharing!
I would think this has been posted before, but I haven’t seen it here, and it’s worth a repose anyway:
Some Guy Named Rothbard destroys a common statist argument.
Pfft. I don’t need the state or collective property, because everything I use is my own. Including the air I breathe.
Stop breathing my air, James, you big-government collectivist.
Eloquently put!
Let’s not forget that he is owned and operated by The Most Dangerous Man in the World:
Mustang - please do not refer to JJ as “James.” There is another user on here we call James, and hence this would cause confusion. JJ is either JJ or John or John James. I guess you could make up some other nickname for him like JWoW, but “James” is a bit confusing.
hehe. I always wondered if anyone else noticed when people did that.
:EDIT:
Coincidentally enough, look what I just stumbled across completely by accident (no joke)
This could be interesting - a new anarchic, economic MMO game:
Eh, it doesn’t look that amazing.
Also, I just realized that a lot of games perpetuate economic illiteracy - we’re given a price level that doesn’t really change. There’s no market for goods. Of course, in RPGs you can’t really have such a thing because you’re only one player, but MMOs could implement markets. I know WoW does to some extent. But I guess implementing markets would mess up the whole NPC idea. Furthermore, if all NPCs showed the same market, then there is perfect knowledge which is unrealistic. How could it be solved?
I will start a new thread on this. See you there!
What if players sell their goods to specific stores which have inventories not automatically replenished by the game? As in Bob (NPC) owns a store but he doesn’t get a daily shipment of free goods from the server but only buys goods from players.
Well I don’t necessarily think it looks that great either but the thing about it is that it’s in a playable beta so is still evolving.

J-Wow! it is.
He still needs to stop breathing my air. You all do. It’s my property.
No it’s not. You’ve abandoned it.
I would argue it’s not effectively scarce (and then not really rivalrous) to begin with.
