TMKF, you don't really know what libertarianism means, do you? Libertarians don't support child pornography because IT HARMS THE CHILD! Libertarians believe in little to no regulation in personal lives WHEN IT DOES NOT HARM ANOTHER HUMAN BEING!
And please tell me where I resorted to name calling (except that post where I did it to point out the fact that it was what you were resorting to quite early on in the debate). I didn't try to argue your quotes because I know them already and I don't agree with them. No rational human being does. What I instead tried to do was illustrate your inability to engage with pro-choice beliefs in any other manner than a eugenics one. Your inability shows the fact that you don't have a modern argument against abortion since that is not how people make pro-choice arguments today. That's it.
I certainly know about libertarianism means, I'm a libertarian and have been for quite some time. I simply just see an unborn child as a person who has rights and not just a fetus. Therefore I see abortion as harming another human being.
I'm sorry I was mixed up your comments with someone elses, I apologize sir.
Just shut up, it's nothing to do with what you're talking about. This is about Alien Workshop doing a straight up kook collab with someone with no credibility. I'd expect this shit from a lesser company.
What's next a Timothy McVeigh graphic? Koresh? American Resistance Movement?
Obviously Alein Workshop doesn't agree with you. Can you cite some examples of how Infowars has "no credibility" or perhaps justify comparing them to Timothy McVeigh?
This collab makes perfect sense to me, I think it's pretty rad that Alien Workshop is backing alternative media.
Alternative fictional media, maybe. Alex Jones is a lunatic (I liked Gippers tin foil hat analogy) who grasps at any straw he can to try to justify a non existent point that he has built from the ground up. The reason he is on more obscure radio channels and the internet is because nothing he says really relates to anything except his own fame agenda, and no "credible" media outlet (term used very loosely) would put him on, other than to exploit his train wreck for ratings. He has created a caricature of himself, and the sillier he acts, the more attention he gets... and with that, the more sponsors and money he gets. The more fanny packs and skateboards he can sell.
The problem I have with "truthers", and Alex Jones specifically, is that they take away effort and spotlight from real cultural issues. This country does have a gun violence problem. That is an inarguable fact. Where you stand on what needs to be done about it is where the road divides, and the arguments start. Ranting and raving about the New World Order and how Obama's Hitler mustache is coming in nicely is taking away time, and even money, from people who have sound minds to come together and make an effort to come to a compromise. While Alex jones himself is in no position to really have any say in the legislation process, he is duping A LOT of stupid, stupid people to take his bait, and thus creating a movement that is nothing more than giant counterproductive measure against a compromise on the real issues.
Whenever presented with rational debate policies (No, I don't mean Piers Morgan... that guy is a kook too) Jones just yells at the top of his lungs about things that usually have nothing to do with the topic at hand. He isn't helping anything except himself, and is in fact diverting attention from efforts that might otherwise hold some merit on the actual problems at hand, not the fabricated ones.
No one needs to "win" this issue. There needs to be compromise with the American people as a whole at the heart of the concern, not personal agendas. Gun nuts spout their rhetoric, and gun abolishers spout theirs. This is basically arguing religion at this point. No one even listens to the other side, so no one is going to walk away with an altered opinion.
The discussion should start in the middle with the understanding that neither side of the coin is going to get exactly what they want, and work outward to protect the American people and the constitution in the best way possible, and attempt to make both sides as happy (or equally slighted) as possible. That is what compromise is.
