  • Re: The Gun vs. The Plowshare

    Not everyone's reaction to the "gun" seems to be the same. I don't detest the government for taxing me. I don't secretly plot revenge or seek freedom. I simply want to wield that power myself. The problem, from my point of view, with being too concerned with sustainability is that life itself is (at least at present) unsustainable

  • Re: Strict liability dilemma

    [quote user="gotlucky"] An example where I wouldn't consider him liable for the murder would be if the police or whoever took completely unreasonable and dangerous actions in order to end the conflict. [/quote] I'm not sure what would constitute an "unreasonable and dangerous action" for me in this case. [quote user="gotlucky"

  • Re: Strict liability dilemma

    @OP I agree with Cab. I'd probably blame the hostage taker for creating the situation in the first place. Obviously a real life version of this hypothetical could contain information that might cause me to feel differently but based on what you've told me, I'd blame the guy who took the hostages in the first place. In a private law system

  • Re: Bane’s Revolution

    I think that many movies, TDKR included, rely heavily on the suspension of disbelief to get audiences to invest in the story. The point is to entertain after all. Watching Gotham get attacked like that is visceral. The stakes felt higher for me than they did in TDK, perhaps because while Joker was nuts it almost seemed like he just wanted to play games

  • Re: Chicago mayor owned on Chick-fil-A

    They're actually from Atlanta, my hometown. The one by my house was insanely busy/crowded today. I know I'll continue eating there. But obviously I'm biased.

  • Re: If you don't like it get out of "x"!

    [quote user="Autolykos"] ... Why do you ask? [/quote] Because I was thinking that people who are too poor to leave don't really have a choice but to stay and stick it out. Obviously there are other reasons why libertarians might choose to stay as well but the reality that some people simply can't afford to move seems to be rarely mentioned

    [quote user="Aristippus"] Since you are in fact the one that is proposing a better means of achieving the ends of those living in said society, it is those who oppose this better order with violence who should leave. [/quote] So if I oppose your "better" order with violence should I leave?

    Are any of you in a strong enough financial position where you could leave if you wanted to?

  • Re: Possessives: the concept of property built into language

    [quote user="David B"] I wonder would you find my/mine come into existence before you would find dispute resolution norms around the personal property within a tribal group? Or would it arise simultaneously, or even after? I'm guessing the words would arise after, but that formalization of the norm into lore or law would require language
