*** November 2012 low content thread ***

@Neodoxy

Yeah, the 2012 one was with the old man. I just found this which may help, “Her 1973 story becomes a manuscript that Jim Broadbent reads in 2012.”

Couldn’t help it:

Haha, Wheylous, that is awesome…I have no idea what relevance it has to anything but I love it.

It will be interesting to find out what the actual numbers are on both sides after all the information comes out:

Israeli air strike kills 11 civilians in Gaza: Hamas

Careful Wheylous, I’ve seen those guys turn on you when you least expect it!

Posted a new article in the Mises Community board.

Check out some of the reasoning behind Warren G. Harding’s support for protective tariffs. Gotta watch out for those…INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISTS who demand FREE TRADE!!!:

“[The removal of all barriers of trade] is the tenant of the international faith. The Socialists demand it.” Then he goes on to say that removing barriers will lower standards (obviously wrong, but this is pretty conventional thinking among protectionists), so maybe he fears the lower standards will create a desire among the people for an increased socialist state. I can’t follow his logic at all otherwise. Silly Republican nationalists. XD

Where my Bourbon Democrats at?:

I never really got why Grover Cleveland was a Democrat.

@SkepticalMetal

Know who else was a Democrat? Old Hickory. Not saying he was on our side all the time, just sayin’. And Rothbard’s favorite president, Martin van Buren, was also a Democrat. Van Buren was the first and only president not to speak English as his first language.

Welcome to the wonderful world of 19th Century Democrats!

I know. I just don’t know why they would choose a party who’s platform goes against the very nature of their own beliefs.

This was posted over a year ago, but I think it’s worth showing to our newer members:

An article from febuary on trust and the welfare state:

TL;DR:

The scandinavian welfare models are based on the trust that is inherent in those countries due to long historic stability and low corruption (or at least a perception of low corruption) and can’t be implemented in countries where such trust doesn’t exist.

And another on why free market health care is a bad idea:

TL;DR Take away from this article: Free markets are bad for health care because sometimes you have to ‘make choices’ and that’s difficult.

It may be possible to “vaccinate” soldiers against the trauma of war. By presenting soldiers with the horrors of war before they set off to fight, one doctor and his team hope to inure squaddies to anything they might witness on the field of battle

I would hope that by being presented with the horrors of war, the-would-be-soldiers would not go to war.
