Nick: It's seemingly too bad you don't understand economics and have to resort to brute force. dmb: > Seems like the right-wing cranks are always the culprits and they never say > anything I haven't heard many time before. Nick: What's funny is I'm not a right-winger you arrogant fool. Strawman on your part. dmb: > The right has been portraying taxation as theft and oppression for my entire > lifetime > so far Nick: Ah, no, if you knew Natural Law and what property rights even mean you wouldn't be on your arbitrary crusade blinded by you don't even know what you're talking about nonsense. dmb: > and there's no end in sight, for example. Did you notice the > recent "tea baggers" protests? With a similar kind of ignorant > outrage they conjured up the revolutionary war slogan, "no taxation > without representation". The fact that U.S. tax laws are written > and passed by the people's representatives in Congress has > apparently escaped them. Nick: What apparently escapes you is taxation is theft of property you sadistic criminal. dmb: > There is a demographic irony in this attitude that I find pretty > interesting.

You completely make this up as you go with no evidence to these assertions just more emotive irrationality based on nothing but how your boogie phantom's in the dark. dmb: > Anyway, this sort of talk really doesn't merit a response.

Nick: Can I suggest you are a war monger? dmb: > Those of us who > aren't pathologically cranky, usually give up at some point and ask > ourselves why we even bothered to try.

Nick's position seems to be that taxes are > criminal and if you think otherwise you're a criminal too. Nick: You are if you willingly allow the coercion to go on. I don't willingly allow to happen so I am coerced to obey for fear of my life. dmb: > Disagreement with this extremely dubious idea means, according to > Nick, that you're a thief and murderer. I ask in all seriousness, > how ridiculous is that? How could something like that possibly be > taken seriously? How does it merit a response at all? It's very > ridiculous, can't be taken seriously and doesn't merit a response. Nick: Well dmb you're ridiculous cause you responded you emotive fool. Show me some intellectuality that can be grasped instead of your biological pleasure rally. Andre tries cause Andre cares. Dmb I've never known for you to care one bit. You've always been a logical positivist arrogant person. Nick -- Be Yourself @ mail.com!
