Actually, that sounds very much like American Christians trying to pass laws that ban abortion and homosexuality, and force religion into public office, and then yell, "We are being oppressed!" when the people who are NOT Christians tell them to stop doing oppressive stuff. Sorry, but you can't claim someone is imposing their iron will on you, when they are just trying to stop YOU from imposing YOUR iron will on everyone else.

Sheesh... I go away and have a life for a few hours, and when I come back there's 3 pages of Myrkul being a dickhead troll. Give it up Kokjo. It's always like this with these An-Cap retards.

On the one hand the two-faced bastards (An-Caps) preach peace and serenity, on the other hand they're crazy gun nuts who not only want to impose their iron-fisted will on everyone, but they are stubbornly unable to comprehend why not everyone likes the An-Cap idea of society.

The point you missed was that some countries don't need visible on-site security at their universities at all!
And the idiot Myrkul starts posting pages of crap, also missing the point!

In that case:

I'm just going to repeat this:

Have a nice day.

Am I the only one to think this thread is full of sockpuppets?

No, I've had intelligent conversations with people I disagree with. Even anti-property socialists. None of them have displayed the level of idiocy you just did, however.

"I'm sure they had a good reason for murdering those people and taking over their store."

If you're a representative citizen, there's your answer. They're all idiots.

So, you're telling me that if your grocery store shot all the employees of a rival grocery store, and changed the sign to theirs, you would continue shopping there?

A private protection firm, unable to claim a monopoly, is neither a protection racket, nor a de facto government.

1. A new script code OP_FEE should be added. Bitcoin sending to OP_FEE is processed as transaction fee. This allow people to specify transaction fee explicitly and human mistakes in handling raw transaction could be avoided. Also, this would allow people to designate fee amount more easily in constructing contracts (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Contracts)

Add a flag, and you get a government.

These stupid comparisons are going nowhere. I'm just going to get right out and tell you what the difference is: It's incentive. Specifically, what is the incentive for one dude with a gun to shoot people versus the other dude with a gun.

For a terrorist, the incentive is his religion. He doesn't care about money or quality of life. He just wants to kill anyone who doesn't think like him.

For a police officer, it's a paycheck and a sense of duty. The sense of duty is the only thing keeping him from doing bad thing (becoming a corrupt cop). There are plenty of officers who are only doing what they do for the money. And the money incentive will always be fulfilled, because the state will always take money from people in the form of taxes, and always pay officers to "keep the peace." Even if the police becomes corrupt, as long as they are protecting the government, the government will always  tax to get money, and pay police salary to keep itself safe.

For a security guard, the incentive is only money. And the money comes from a company who's ONLY incentive is to stay safe and secure, or to provide safety and security. The company employing the guard doesn't have the power to force someone to pay for their security, so their only option is to make sure that the security guards they hire actually do provide security, and anyone who becomes corrupt and resorts to extortion will likely get fired. Otherwise the bad security officers will reflect badly on the company.

The thing is, unlike private companies that actually depend on customers, government, as a bureaucracy, really doesn't care all that much about its reputation. Individual politicians do, but the rest of the government not so much, for the simple fact that they can declare you to be a customer, and you can't do a thing about it. It's pretty much like your cell phone provider, internet provider, or grocery store declaring that you are their customer, making it illegal for you to buy anyone else's products, and giving you a sense of "choice" by allowing you to elect the cashiers at the cash register.

But, wait:


So, the police officer, paid to protect you and the rest of society, is using a tool that has no use other than threatening or killing people. If he's being paid to protect people, he should be using a tool that can protect people, don't you think? Why, then, does he use a gun?

Dude in first pic is Igor Suprunyuck. He used that hammer to kill a man. The guy in the second is using his hammer to build a house.

Both just dudes with hammers, though, right?

What you use the tool for is more important than the tool itself.

Not really.

What about these two guys?

Except your "subjective" difference isn't subjective at all. Perhaps you need a refresher on the definitions:

ob·jec·tive 
/əbˈjektiv/
Adjective
Not influenced by personal feelings or opinions in considering and representing facts.

sub·jec·tive 
/səbˈjektiv/
Adjective
Based on or influenced by personal feelings, tastes, or opinions.

It's not your opinion that he wants to kill you, he actually wants to kill you.
