Then again, Kokjo believes the action of existing is enough provocation to kill someone.  There are few scenarios where this is applicable:

1. Zombie T-Virus
2. Radioactive
3. Satan
4. Having your soul used in a weird Japanese gore film to power a supermassive zombie radioactive satan-bot.

But in most cases, I think we can all agree that merely existing shouldn't be cause to hurt someone.  Unless you're a statist, of course, and making the first move is fair game.

C'mon now, we're civilized* folk.  There's no need to hit someone because they said something you didn't like Tongue

The west coast is huge on Bitcoin.  The east coast...not so much.  I'm pretty sure San Francisco and all those other big western cities are where you're going to find the most Bitcoin presence.

People are complicated.  Smiley
I would say any conservative would call me liberal. I support legislation which expands rights. If you want to be in a gay marriage or represent the KKK in a march or smoke weed or shoot a machine gun on your farm, I support you.   
I'm not afraid of peoples rights, I think we should enjoy them in liberal amounts.

Sounds like you're two clicks away from libertarian Cool

Buttercoin seems neat but A.) confused me because I thought it was an altcoin and B.) will do no good if people are still using the Gox (like they are right now.  You know who you are.)

An ISP owned by the public would be phenomenal against SOPA & CISPA rising from the dead over and over again.  As long as it worked at all, I'd be cool with it being a tad slow.  It may not be great for gaming, but at least no single person can be cut off from the rest.

If I can ensure my privacy then I'm all in on making this happen.

"s/he"

Seriously?  Cheesy

Anyway, thanks for answering my question.  Yes, I realize America's a load of horse shit, and it's probably better somewhere else.  But let's not forget, the only reason America rose to such extreme power was through government.  There is no anarchistic society which can band together and start world wars.  If America wasn't the power it was today, it would be Russia, or China, the other massive states.  The point is, I don't like war, and there is no, "But war is necessary because people are people!"  I can't explain that to a statist, as you don't seem to realize there's even an option B, that if government is simply people, why is large government always so disconnected with its people?  Certainly, Anarchism seems very out there, but it's not much different than Atheism.  If 99 out of 100 people believe God is real, doesn't that make that 1 guy a total nut-job?  Yes, because 99 people agree; they don't need logic, or reason, they just need numbers.  The state has nothing but numbers, and anyone who says, "Well, wait a second, what if--" is immediately shot down because how could there be anything different than what there's always been?

Is it too much to ask that you fit your thoughts into one concise paragraph?  Roll Eyes  MysteryMiner pulls this same shit, because he refuses to take arguments as complete packages; instead, he isolates every single sentence as if they had nothing to do with each other.  I'm not going to be roving over every small detail; you're still circling around my points, nit-picking what you want out of my argument to fit yours.  If you're not going to answer my question, this same exact question I've presented every single time, why should I answer yours?

I want to make this absolutely clear.  People who do not understand the inherent violence in statism cannot be labeled statists; rather, they simply don't realize there's anything else.  These people are democrats, republicans, liberals, conservatives, whatever party you can list--the point is, they don't realize what they're doing.  Someone who does not realizing they're supporting a system of violence are being fooled.  They cannot hold blame if they don't understand what it is they're doing.  If you didn't realize you accidentally knocked me off a ledge (silly example, sorry,) and you never realized you killed me, you can't truly be held accountable; you simply didn't know!  But if you did it intentionally, and you knew you were knocking people off ledges and killing them, that's when the tables turn.

Humor me, at least once.

Do you understand what the state is, and do you support what it does?

It's a very simple question, and begs a simple answer.  I'm going to assume, if your next response is more nit-picking, or anything that doesn't remotely resemble "yes" or no", that it's definite support.  In which case, nothing I could ever say will make sense to you; after all, you believe libertarians are basically cultists, and everything which comes out of their mouths is bullshit, right?  So why should I bother arguing if you've determined I'm automatically wrong, before I've ever had the chance to explain?  You already won, bub.  Celebrate.  Go wank.

A flat tax rate would do wonders for America.  A progressive tax rate just means, the more successful you are, the more you'll be punished.

Banning pressure cookers would just mean legal cooks would be out of pressure cookers, but the real street chefs would still get their hands on them.

This is a pretty random statement. Yes they are connected, but most stuff that people value are connected with currencies and the economy..

It is a little bit out there.  However, as a working artist, I can say Bitcoin is way better than PayPal as a means of accepting payment via the Internet.
