If you want to come on my youtube channel youtube.com/theprogressiveparent and tlak about it in an interview or post up links on the facebook group then I can help I have had Roslyn Ross:

I think we should send it to big ethics people like Peter Singer If stef could debate him it would be huge

well they will if more people buy hard copies teehee I got mine but don't know where I could put them where they might get more readings teehee

yes, I think that podcasts that are enduringly popular could be either edited down for posterity, or redone as presentations highlighting the important points stuff like my parents were really nice parts 1-4 could be redone in one hour long presentation if Stef had time to listen back to them, take notes and represent it's just a suggestion I don't know if the time is there

If she's that perfect she should still be around for dating in 2 years when she is 18 I think she would have to be really rather a cultivated person to make up for the age gap so you might want to talk to her and find out about her find out if shes interesting, and interested in learning about things you're interested in I am 27 and I have found girls anything below 21 too immature for several years it's not so much the age as the fact that people need a few years out of school before they become human beings and learn from the "actual" real world

I like it when they stand up too

good thread, we all know that povert leads to an increase i crime and whatnot this is a critical issue especialy since most people think libertarians "don't care about the poor" the level of violence in a country, it has been said with some evidence to support it, is proportional to the gap between the haves and have nots of course voluntarist anarchism is probably the best way to narrow this gap good thread, we all know that povert leads to an increase i crime and whatnot this is a critical issue especialy since most people think libertarians "don't care about the poor" the level of violence in a country, it has been said with some evidence to support it, is proportional to the gap between the haves and have nots of course voluntarist anarchism is probably the best way to narrow this gap

“I am very conscious that you can’t condemn people of an earlier era by the standards of ours. Just as we don’t look back at the 18th and 19th centuries and condemn people for racism in the same way as we would condemn a modern person for racism, I look back a few decades to my childhood and see things like caning, like mild pedophilia, and can’t find it in me to condemn it by the same standards as I or anyone would today,” he said. There is all you need to read. He's a relativist. This doesn't surprise me at all because in my experience "skeptic society" type people have a tendency to be very emotionally stunted ie. All up in their heads its like a lot of them go to skepticism out of an obsession with thinking rather than genuine passion for truth that's why they are so hard to reason with when it comes to suff like statism that's been my experience of the community

good questions and answers I would put the thing about potheads LAST insteadd of first, it creats not such a great vibe , seems less serious a bit spurious even

1) most news is about politics so a lot of that would no longer b necessary 2) there is not much in the way of critical thinking or reasoning taught in education until the tertiary level, but these are such integral skills - especially in a free society - that no education in a stateless society would not encompass them.systems of contracts 3) No government to ensure that media doesn't lie so people would want third bodies to regulate this more -> what is more, they will have contracts with DROs, and it's big trouble for companies that advertie if they are associate with poor media 4) Newspapers may easily be done for fraud under voluntarist - 5) If people believe media lies and damages are caused by them they can raise the greivance with their DRO, who know the consequences 6) there may not even be press by then with the internet and whatnot beause a stateless society will be long in the future if anyone wants to refine these arguments, add to them, or add new ones, then I'm curious to read

feedback on my response, if you wish Why do you assume just because there is an incentive to solve a problem it will get solved. People often behave counter-rationally. First of all if people are behving counter-rationally then by definition, what is being described as an incentive is not an incentive, it is a disincentive since it is not incentivising anything. Secondly, if that is true then you cant ave a government because people don't respond to incentives so whatever laws the government passes will ail. What is more people who don't respond to incentives will go into government and act counter-ratonally. Yes, they could be exxperts who know what is best, ut even so, all the counter-rational people who thin they are doing the wrong thing - and who are in the majority will get up and stand in the way. Maybe the politicians can sell the case to the counter-rational population. If no - then government won't be able to solve problems, and making it illegal for people other than the governmen - in the vluntary sector of society - is hardly going to make things better. Now only the government, who can't find the political will, are allowed to solve a problem which the population don't want solved because they are counter-rational. If yet, and the politicians can sell the case - then clearly there is no need for government as te solution can be solved by community workers, buinesses, entrepreneurs, charities, non-profit organisations, etc. The government is disincetivised from solving the problem because if they do solve the problem they make themselves redundant because they are no longer needed for their jobs.

Hi friends , can you please give me some feedback on this ad. I am thinking of droping some cash on featuring it and want to make sure I'm not wasting money on a poor text. Any suggestions on imrpoving the text welcome. http://www.gumtree.com/p/community/essential-communication-skills-for-enriching-your-life-relationships/1033626329

welcome to the community

In the whole of the first world war with shrapnel flying about only a handful of soldiers contracted tetanus. There may be use to some vaccines, for all I know, but they should be chose sparingly as your blood cannot puke up the way your stomach can of your lungs can sneeze, therefor toins put in your body through the blood are more or less here to stay and as you know vaccines have ether, detergeant, thermosil, and cells from eggs or foetuses in them amongst other ingredients which won't easily be removed

one thing that has been causing trouble is that journalists supposedly "don't have time" to do real investigative jounralism any more it's too time consuming and expensive to compete with the lowest common denominator drivel one thing in our favour is the fact that critical thinking skills would be so important in a free society that they would make up part of everyones education

Couple of questions: Why a new journal Why not become a collumnist on Lew Rockwell or something tha has an established audience? What does Voluntary - The Freedom Journal have to offer which is new or not already accounted for? How are you getting an audience?

A lot of users may not use this forum but may sign up to newsletter Why not a monthly online newsletter or magazine including content from memebers: - creative writing/poetry/excerpts from plays/art - articles/commentaries or perspectives on recent content/ any points stef missed or disputes - popular posts from forum used with permission - alerts for services from freedomainradio listeners/links to websites - fundraiser for listener in need etc. would this be compelling?

is my statist's response to the argument well people want the problem solved that's called a demand so they will compete to find solutions " that's just like saying 'it will get solved' - which is not an answer" what is your response? I have some I will share but interested to hear from other bright minds

My associate said - the British Press is hardly regulated at all in fact the government is trying to introduce more regulations for it because no one likes them yet, the tabloid provide such a poor quality of news coverage, in fact they make stuff up and sell bigotted views on immigrants and crap economics etc. how do you think the press would look in a free society and why? what would motivate good quality reporting over propaganda? I know newspapers might not be around forever, but out of curioity

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sLP3wKU99do "This is so populist and emotive and oversimplified. Parts of it are true, parts are half true, and parts are just false. And he is all over the place. I can't take him seriously. Quantitative easing has massive advantages when done correctly. He simply shows a lack of understanding with his summary of the Keynesian perspective as well. It is not as simple as just calling it stealing from the future since that will affect the future. If stealing from the future will give you resources to build an even better future then it is no longer stealing but instead it is a present. Of course that makes little sense, but that is the only way to explain it within his perspective and that is what you get when you oversimplify. This is what is known as a time-inconsistency problem in economics. Whilst it is true that there are negative consequences of borrowing from the future (because it is borrowing, not stealing), there are also positive ones too. That borrowed resources can be used for investment. Although initially it will reduce investment, since the whole goal is shifting resources from investment to consumption, that additional consumption can prevent a severe shock to aggregate demand. A shock to demand can do even more harm to investment in the medium term as producers will not be able to rely on demand for their products. There has been a demand shock of massive proportions recently and mitigation of that is highly desirable.Quantitative Easing is actually preferable to interest rate cuts since it works retrospectively as well. Bear in mind, it is a tax on wealth. Well there is a lot of wealth which has accumulated due to unreasonable leverage due to low central bank base interest rates. Quantitative Easing would unwind that since it is the opposite of that. If you also allow pay rises, and therefore protect wages, particularly for those at the bottom (who also have the highest fiscal multipliers) then all you are doing is taking back what was unreasonably earned. This is not stealing, if anything, it is the opposite. Robin Hood was also a thief!" Rebuttals?

the book is called Anarchism in Practice also if you want to solicit articles on any particular topics then let me know as it's always a good kick in the bum

The relationships feed on the website

sounds great, I'd love my ervices to be advertised on the voluntarium and I would love to support other business people on the voluntariium

I reckon I may be willing to submit some articles come january, I am writing a book and writing articles can be a good way to help me collect my thoughts for various sections of it
