Culain

So it's essentially the Canadian Patriot Act

Let me guess, politicians will be exempt from this?

From what I understand about currencies, you can NOT create wealth. If I go and create a crypto- currency called Culain Coins and give myself 100 million of them, I am not wealthier. What i can do with currencies though is transfer and invest the wealth I already have. Money can not be donated into existed because money is stored value. Value is a representation of labour. In order for a currency to gain value it requires investment in the form of labour. I really have no idea what you mean by create or donate money into existence. It definitely sounds like another fiat scam and I'm pretty sure that the Greece population are going to be wary of lingo like that after they go through another collapse.

Finished it's 3rd and final season. It's definitely zeitgeist inspired. It depicts Japan turning into a closed off nation where citizens must be granted approval to come into the country or to leave. The society is monitored by these electronic devices called "Psycho Passes", which scans the brains of it's citizens, the devices then displays a digital number showing how likely they are to commit a crime. Crime is never accurately defined. All the citizens in this society must act in a way to keep their "Crime Efficiency" number down, as the number begins to rise citizens' will be informed from the devices that they need to calm down or seek therapy, when the number rises to a set point they will be taken into government therapy, and if the number continues to rise even beyond the point of no recovery then they are murdered. The shows follows a young newly hired female investigator, Akane who seeks out a dangerous criminal who threatens society. Her partner Shinya is a male enforcer (ex criminal), who will assists her in apprehending this individual and coming to truth on how how their society works.

How does the state get that money it redistributes? It takes it through force and coercion. How can you talk about harmony when you advocate for aggressive force, perhaps the day that you put down the guns will be the day that you truly understand harmony.

I think you forgot the video

I wouldn't mind playing, provided someone explain the basics of how to play as I've never touched anything dnd like.

This forum doesn't have any rules stating that statists or theists are banned; we just be respectful to each other.

Thanks for the replies I seem to have a slightly better grasp of it now.

From what I understand, a bond is an I.O.U. People purchase bonds with the goal of receiving a profit in interest at maturity. The government issues a bond out to investors (foreign or local), to pay back the bond (with interest) the government attempts to profit from the principle amount. The US runs an annual deficit so it resorts to either printing or borrowing to service the debts. Printing raises the rate of inflation while borrowing adds further interest because you must borrow at a higher rate to pay back the previous loan plus interest. The current national debt is total amount of funds owed through government bonds, not accounting for inflation or unfunded liabilities. Anyways, I have some friends who have invested into bonds and are adamant that they will receive a profit at maturity. They argue that even though inflation is rising by roughly 2% a year the government will pay them back 4%, a gain of 2%. This shouldn't be possible. Is there something I'm missing here like hidden costs or taxes?

The current leader of the libertarian party of Canada Tim Moen has come out and said that he fully supports anarchy. He believes that change comes from the people, citing the 10% of population statistic. His stance on politics seems to be simply a platform for educating people on state violence. As an Anarchist I did not vote for the party, but I do often share his messages. He's not hard, you can probably contact him through facebook. He appeared on Jeff Berwicks Anarchast and will be speaking at Anarchopulco next month, definitely can't wait to hear from him.

No. There really is no way to determine whether an action is best. UPB simply is a way for measuring the consistency of ethical/ moral propositions. It is descriptive rather than prescriptive. UPB does not tell you how to act, it only explains whether the action you performed can be preferred universally.

My apologies then, I did misinterpret.

Their lifestyle involves stealing from others and the more they do it the more dependent they become on it. Their numbers continue to grow by the day and they continue to advocate for policies which steal from the working class making our life more difficult, the end point being when they take us all down the path of financial collapse with them. These people are parasites who would never advocate for secession because it would threaten to end their addiction.

I wonder if this should be applied to all the parents who send their children to all the corporate photographers (huggies, fisherprice, etc) to make some cash. I get the shivers just thinking about the possibility of some of these photo shoots being sold on the black market.
