Glad to hear more of the Libertarians and Anti-Statists talk about this. :)

It's certainly more intelligent than most conversations I have with statists...

"I'm also glad that Shane showed me this:  http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=libertarian
Showing that, sorry, "libertarian" was NOT originally used to mean "anarcho socialist", despite what the idiots like Chomsky will tell you.
A search also reveals the term "tea party" where it mentions the ones "beginning in 2009" http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=libertarian
which they would call conservative to try to discredit the source.  Which is ironic because they never seem to provide any sources for the original use of the term themselves.
And because it's a red herring.  They were talking about the original meaning of the word, which is clearly unrelated to anarcho-socialism.
Just like the republicans, they like hijacking terms and movements.

"After reading something on Cracked, something occured to me.
Determinism vs Free Will is a false dichotomy.
As demonstrated by Shane's point about quantum mechanics, one COULD still argue that that just means our brains aren't deterministic, but that doesn't prove we "choose" things via free will.
Which is true.
However:
1. No one advocating free will (that I know of) says that we aren't influenced by our environments or past experiences.
2. They're essentially trying to say: "use choice to choose between the freedom-to-choose and non-choice"
Granted, it sounded better when the thoughts first started flowing in a few days ago.
   
So worst case senario, even IF free will isn't proven, determinism is still falsified via quantum mechanics."--Me in the same IM with Lord T Hawkeye.

So question, how does having a probabilistic (quantum mechanical) brain give us free will ("the ability to choose" as it is often defined)?

We also have the lemon party, but that's neither here nor there.

Anyways, back on topic:

From a this thread right here: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.236241-Poll-Should-he-still-be-punished

QuoteWINDOWCLEAN2:
He should be given a light punishment, Nothing to severe mind you. Perhaps just an hour or two of Council work or Psychiatric care perhaps.

Psychiatric care?! Are you actually suggesting you send a 13 year old boy going through puberty to a shrink because he looked at girls HIS age?! I guess we should now send teenagers under the age of 18 that had sex to a shrink as well because well fuck me, there's obviously something wrong with them since they disobeyed the law. They're pre-teens. They're going through puberty. Of course they're going to look at naked women. So because this one decided to look at naked girls HIS age he should be punished? By your logic, any 13 year old who thinks of other 13 year olds in a sexual manner is fucking mentally ill. That makes absolutely no sense.

I looked at the thread.
Notice how:
1.  There is no discussion of restitution to any wronged party (hint: there were none; it was a victimless crime), only of punishment.
2.  People are just jabbing on about how, "Well, it's the law, and so he should be punished."  Epic fail.  So was helping the slaves in the USA during early 19th century, and helping the Jews in Germany escape during the holocaust.  Sorry, but the state is NOT the final arbiter of mortality anymore than "god" is.

I got a question for the nudity crusaders.

What if a young, female artist draws a self portrait of herself nude?  Are you going to try and stop her?  By force if needed?
If so, explain to me how you're still the good guy here.
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"
The more you know...
