cobra - The school did her a favor, by cutting her loose of that statist indocrination hell-hole. Hopefully, her family or guardians can find a better way to educate their child than through the state and it's conformity-mill operations. wuzzums - your link did not work

David Graeber (anthropoligst from Yale) on anarchy
weeb replied to Xtort's topic in Libertarianism, Anarchism and Economics
Interesting, I'll have to check this guy out. It was disappointing that he didn't mention the non-aggression principle when asked to explain anarchy. -
http://rt.com/trends/guantanamo-prison-hunger-strike/ I never hear this covered on the msm. It is a shame how powerless anyone is to stop this. These guys are being tortured and no one comes to help them. What is the matter with civility and humanity in this day?

This is what happens when you make a deal with the devil. Licenses are just deals with the state that give you the right to sell by their rules (which are bullshit). It's always win-lose with the state. Licenses you hold through the state give warrant for increased scrutiny of your related affairs. Be hesitant to hold licenses through the state, unless you have no other choice. There's always a catch with the increased freedom you get, such as more probing and prodding of your personal life, more reporting requirements, more regulations.. Wait until they start checking on concealed carry holders at home, or mm card holders/growers, or more mass TSA checkpoints on the roads.. My practical smoking suggestion: Buy a smoke buddy to cover it up, http://smokebuddy.com/

Should College student-athletes be allowed to unionize?
weeb replied to EABtx's topic in Current Events
Nothing with public universities has anything to do with the free market. Though, I understand that Northwestern is a private school, but it raises interesting implications for the rest of scholarship athletes and performers. I see a strike during March Madness in the future, or perhaps during the BCS bowl games, lol sigh... the drama of statist subsidized sports irks me. We can only hope, them demanding pensions and insurance coverage might drive these universities into abandoning their sports programs. Then, maybe, semi-professional sports can break away from the statist college apparatus.- 6 replies

I don't know if Stef coined this phrase, but he called it a "medical refugee". Whatever the case, you go where you can live the best. When quality of life is at stake, especially for a child, it really puts the spotlight on the cruelty of blanket medical restrictions that end up making people suffer. A government monopoly always takes away freedom/choice/liberty/free will/options/quality from the customers of that industry. This issue becomes very real very quickly when you find yourself in this situation. Shame on the state. Charlotte's Web has a high CBD content and a low THC content; therefore, it will give her the most therapeutic effects for her condition, saving any possible euphoria (unauthorized mood improvement) from THC. The potential for cannabinoids to work as neuroprotectants and immune suppressants also show great promise for post-head trauma and immune-comprimised patients respectively. Thanks to the ingenious folks that have turned the green market from black to gray!

Hey Stefan, what did you experience in Texas
weeb replied to LovePrevails's topic in General Feedback
Did Alex's studio give you guys the idea to make your own studio improvements? AJ has amassed quite the merchandising machine on his website there, t'would be a profitable racket to be in. Seems like he should be sponsored by Red Bull or 5 hour energy cause he makes me sweat just listening, lol. Alex has the delivery of Billie Mays on an infomercial cokeathon, motivating to say the least. I still like FDR being ad free and appreciate Stef's resistance to go to the ad men. Good job in the interview btw! -
Well, as Stef has said, he can't do this forever. And, he definitely can't do this in every language. Ultimately, people who can express these ideas well in another language might want to consider their own podcasts in that language. If someone hadn't translated Bastiat, I would have missed out on some great arguments against the State. It would be nice to see FDR franchise and take peaceful parenting and voluntaryism to the rest of the world.

Translating this volume of work would take as many years as it did to create it. If anything, I would translate the books.

Sounds like this guy needs to get out of his bubble and travel. Take him somewhere where he's the minority, a humbling experience to those that have not experienced language and culture shock before. It is amazing how trying to bridge a language-gap can result in a non-verbal mutual understanding between very culturally different people; one that, I think, shows our commonality as humans. Aside from the aforementioned direct socialization, do not let him repeat stereotypes of hate around the children in your life. Have zero tolerance for this talk and call them out when appropriate. Prejudice is a meme that we could live without.

Don't you think "in defense of spanking..." is a troll-like headline to use? If not, you know nothing about this community's leanings. Watch the BIB series. Or, you know exactly what you're doing; and that would make you a troll.

When this happens in real life, I have trouble holding back my laughter. "Bow your heads" to me means "roll thine eyes". It's hard to keep a straight face in all this madness.

I am NOT a trained therapist, but I've seen this in someone. I have experience with a family member who did/does this to cope. He used endorphins to help cope with emotional pain, like a drug user. If he had to cause himself pain, he put a rubber band around his wrist and would snap it when he felt the need to hurt himself (this is a less-harmful way to fulfill this urge). He uses exercise too. Just please be careful not to cause damage to yourself. We at fdr want you to be physically and emotionally healthy. Most of all, talk to a trained, trusted professional therapist about why you feel this is necessary for you.

It costs money to start a meetup on meetup.com (from experience). Also, you may want to identify the local area where this will take place, so that people within a reasonable distance can come. Trust me, the numbers are VERY few and you might get disappointed with the turnout, but even one person to connect with in real life would be nice. Anarchy is a lonely thing to attach your name to, as I'm sure you have all found out.

Why am i not surprised by his comments? Sure makes it easier to raise funds with a gun. I really don't think these statists make the connection. I was about to be proud of him for organizing a charity on his own, but not if he gets these Washington thugs involved. Not every cause can be breast cancer. Old people being forgetful don't have the same lively, healthy, working base that boobs do. People from Hollywood and sports stars are the only hope for more rare conditions (affecting a smaller percentage of the population, like ms, testicular cancer, thyroid cancer, colo-rectal cancer, etc.) raising awareness and possibly getting the public to chip in voluntarily. The more rare your illness, the fewer choices you have for a support base that doesn't come from the state, or religion It puts desperate sick people that are in pain in a vulnerable position. One should not have to sell their soul to the state or sing along with magic spells to get some help.
