The shots at 2:42 which was not what I was referring to were single fire but the shots at the 0:40 second mark were burst. I don't even understand what you are trying to get at. Its like me telling you to look a picture on a book on page 30 and then you telling me I don't see a picture on page 60. This has nothing to do with my point which was

DD5: "Shows how much you know about "standard military operation". Burst mode may be standard use for the A-team. Not for real military operations." I said it was SET to BURST(ie. 3 rounds at a time) not FULL AUTO and there is a difference. If they were using full auto there would have been more than 10 deaths. Long range they would

I don't care about this issue either way. Both parties involved are iffy but I take issue with the idea of shooting to disable. When it comes to firearms you always shoot to kill if you feel that your life is threatened. There is no shooting to disable nonsense. If you think you just need to disable someone then the person being shot at isn't

Collectivist social action is the SOURCE of stolen organs as well as many human rights violations. This is seen throughout history where the majority commit atrocities in the name of the greater good. Eugenics anyone? China has special vehicles designed specifically to efficiently kill dissidents and harvest their organs. The greater good philosophy

"Well, and some people say capitalism is cartels of corporations backed by central banks. But then what do we learn by defining terms like this?" Those people would just be ignorant. They only know of A and B and completely ignore option C. There is a very specific term for that definition and it is called corporatism. I don't know what

Democracy is mob rule and if your goal is cooperation then all you will get is divisiveness and corruption. With democracy all you end up getting is one half of people trying to screw the other in order to benefit themselves using the force of government. The half that benefits does not care about what happens to the other. So not only do you get devisiveness

First of all you can't really have a debate without defining terms. People who try to avoid defining something are usually trying hide the negative aspects of their argument. Instead what ends up happening is that the other person in question ends up projecting meaning into what is left unexplained which is usually something positive and opposite

[quote user="Jacob Bloom"] Unfortunately, I think a lot of what you said here makes a lot of sense. But it's that abdication of responsibility that's such anathema to the concept of freedom. Freedom means that one has choices, but also that one must be responsible for said choices. So basically what you're saying here is that the

The Austrian voice has to be heard first otherwise we will still be stuck in the same left-right paradigm. After Obama fails republicans will take power and after they fail doing exactly the same thing they will lose power to the democrats and so on. That is how it has been for decades. Apart from Peter Schiff there aren't that many voices representing

[quote user="JonBostwick"] Incorrect. In that passage Rothbard is assuming that those police are working on behalf of the victim. An agent of the victim is not an "outside party". [/quote] The police are an outside party. Since the victim was murdered there was no way for the victim to ask the police to work on his/her behalf. In
