I think radical muslims would fall into the category of "mentally ill" and will kill regardless of the law, as they do every day.

When you call other people dumb in a debate, you really expose yourself to immense ridicule when your subsequent statement is the one that is truly "dumb". We are currently being charged to rent books from the library. In fact, we are being charged to rent the books even if we never walk into...

Good question. I'll answer with a hypothetical... Imagine businesses were responsible for bringing drinkable water to the consumer, and for some hypothetical reason, water isn't something you can just collect from the sky or take from a river (it is essential and you have to buy it from a...

Home36rown wanted to know how a free society would handle the problem of "corpse fucking in front of schools". I thought it was a little silly too, but I just answered his question. :hump:

Governments really don't create anything. They either purchase or steal from the free market. Libraries have been around for thousands of years. The idea of having a repository is a very basic one. As the free market of ideas innovates new technology, our libraries improve. This has nothing to...

Yes, any business that uses the force of the government to benefit at the expense of the public is corrupt and thus unsustainable in the long term (using violence to achieve your end is typically unsustainable). It is human nature to maximize resources and use the least amount of energy to gain...

Dude, mine are out of control! Everything grew another half inch overnight! I get my pH pen in tomorrow so maybe I'll change everything then. I timed this terribly, but I've learned a lot for the next grow.

I know. I just changed the res with new nutes yesterday so I feel bad about dumping it so soon! I really wanted to give the smaller ones some time to catch up. Maybe I can wait till Saturday to flower.

I think I'm going to purchase some more seeds and just get them started two weeks before harvesting this first cycle. I really want to get something that produces really pretty bud like Ice or something. Like I said though, I'm going to clone one of these Northern Lights plants in another 10...

Day 31 I can't believe it's been 31 days already! These girls get so much bigger every day or two! Below are the pictures I just took. I'll write a height comparison from three days ago so you can see what I'm talking about. My current nutrient ppm is 480. This is my biggest plant...

Thanks for stopping by! I'm excited to see what happens here for sure!

No, I decided not to top this time. I'm just going to let them veg for another few days to let the smaller ones catch up a bit. I'll just have to train them if they start reaching the glass. Getting ready to clone for a mother. Any advice? I'll post an update in an hour or so. Edit: On...

Hydrolicious, Any organization that gets funded regardless of results and is several steps removed from their customers simply cannot perform efficiently. It cannot happen. It's like trying to add 3 + 3 to get 7. Try as hard as you can, it just is not in the realm of possibility. Marry that...

home36rown, I apologize for not being able to vomit out a short answer here. This is the best I could do, and I would still consider it cliff notes. First off, because a tax is something which is levied, there can be no taxation in a stateless society. Apple doesn't have to tax you for...

Sure, it's like the survival exception. It is immoral for you to break into my house and steal my food, but if you are literally dying of starvation, it is a perfectly valid strategy for you to break into my house and steal my food. Likewise, if I really thought what I was advocating was chaos...

You are exactly right. Society needs regulation, even a stateless society. I guarantee that you would have not been charged $25 for a piece of gauze in a true free market. Overpriced hospitals would go out of business. I think you may be confusing corporatism and corporate predation with real...

First of all, we should note that we are most likely in 90% agreement with each other, from what I can read here. It's the 10% that makes a big difference. I'm not trying to be condescending, but the non-aggression principle is something most children can understand. It states: Repect other...

This is a beautiful statement, but I don't know why you find it acceptable to bend these principles over your knee until they break. According to some other posts of yours that I've read, it seems like you pick and choose where you like your government (others do this on here too). If the...

Private security forces have actually been proven to operate much more efficiently than public or state security forces. Same would apply for private police firms. Modern healthcare has not seen a free market yet, so I don't know on what grounds you are basing your comparison on that issue...

I don't think anyone here would dispute that our government has continued to grow rapidly since its inception. Something only grows by acquiring more resources, which for the government is money. The only justification the government has for taking more of our money is to continue the expansion...
