Thanks kettle. |

I can't believe that I'm posting non-ironically to an Atlas thread, but here goes.
While being able to sew doesn't count as "tailoring", you've nonetheless been given a useful suggestion in this thread. There really is a niche market which you could fill here. It's way more realistic and achievable than some of your past proposals and you're dismissing it out of hand.
I think you should at least reconsider the idea of sewing costumes for people and I'm sure that the community would be willing to walk you through the steps involved in setting up a viable, part-time home business. This is one particular field in which no-one is going to care about your age or your prior business experience provided that you can deliver the product to your customers as ordered and on time.
Sorry, that idea sailed years ago. The crappy $300 costumes have long since been replaced by professionally manufactured $3,200 costumes. The level of artistic skill has skyrocketed, and amateurs have long since been left far far behind. Does the higher-quality costumes cause less or more fursecution? I wouldn't know, as I stay away from them. Less maybe, because they don't creep me out AS much? |

Not like her dad'l care, to him we're all "bad influences" on here.
I call bullshit. I'm sure he'd be glad to sell em all.
I doubt he would confiscate the toys and do anything but destroy them... I mean did you see that post? Anger all around  |

It's not our place to tell other parents kids how to do their job grow up and fight their own demons, no matter how fucked-up a job they may be doing.
Fixed. |

I was a total social retard. I think I had, like, one friend the entire time I was there. I'm still defending high school.
I was part of the quiet bunch myself. I did my academics and didn't talk to anyone else.. that was until I found the internet lol. Yeah, I had lots of those internet friends, too. I did have a bunch of somewhat local friends. Its the high school where I only had one. |

I don't want her name and address. I just want her stuff.
You really are a monster. Not only did you ruin her life, but now you are gonna buy all her stuff from her abusive father just for spite? I didn't ruin her life. Her father did. I just want to try to preserve whatever is left of it now that her father is threatening to destroy it even more. Trolls won't care, so I wasn't bothering to explain. |

Just so I'm sure I have this right. A guy who fantasizes about being/having sex with anthropomorphic animals is seeking to track down a 17 year old girl to buy her collection of anthropomorphic ponies. I'm not sure if she's going to want them back from you after you're done with them, dude. Good point. Somewhat wrong assumption. Don't care. Want her stuff. At the least it'll be safe and available if she does want it back. If it helps you, think of it as me preserve the memory of destroyed childhood. |

If you live near Waterloo, Iowa, and can manage to quickly track down the residence of a 17 year old girl named Ayn
Oh sure, let me just track down the full name and address of an underage girl and hand it over to a sexual deviant. I'll get right on that. I don't want her name and address. I just want her stuff. |
|
|
|
Actually if you have her last name or her parent's first and last name, web tracking isn't that hard to do.
I don't know her last name, and when I searched for her e-mail address earlier this week, nothing came up. Please help if you can? |

he considers that some people's lives are less valuable than others because of some generic attribute and NOT specific to any single person.
If I had to be more specific, I was saying that some people's lives are less valuable based on their actions. A terrorist's live is way less valuable than a farmers (though even that depends on from who's perspective he is a terrorist, since he could also be a freedom fighter). As for the black/white thing, I do not advocate that. I only pointed out that in a libertarian society, things like racism and sexism could very well be a problem (i.e. I may have been agreeing with you) Before advocating any idea, decide that if its not to going to improve society, why bother?
To me, it feels that the underlying point of libertarianism is to educate society, or gradually move it to a position where people will take more responsibility... Aw fuckit. I can't think straight any more because of this shit... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=45298.0sorry, I'm out of the debate for a bit. |

Based on this post https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=45298.0PinkiePie's parent is a colossal, psychologically-abusive douchbag. I caused the results of what is written in this letter, and feel quite colossally guilty. I had not realized just how psychologically abused this girl was (was this an attempted suicide? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41901.msg509961#msg509961), or how dangerous and extremist her father was. If you live near Waterloo, Iowa, and can manage to quickly track down the residence of a 17 year old girl named Ayn, I will personally pay you to buy ALL of the pony stuff her dad is claiming to want to liquidate, and to have it shipped to my house to store. Contact me personally if you can help. Thank you. EDIT:Excellently performed troll post! Kudos! |

I FOUND HER KNEELING BESIDE HER BED DEEP IN PRAYER WITH A HAGGARD AND TIRED FACE. MY DAUGHTER WAS ONLY INTENDED TO BE USING THIS BBS FOR SUPPLEMENTATION OF HER ECONOMICS LESSONS BUT SHE IS LIKE ME A DEVOUTLY RELIGIOUS INDIVIDUAL AND TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD WITNESSED AN INDIVIDUAL DEEP IN THE SUFFERING OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY AND WAS PRAYING FOR THE SAVING OF HIS ETERNAL SOUL.
Woah!! COOL!!!! A bit sad though, but damn, didn't think I had THAT effect on the poor girl. Kinda wish I could tell her how off she was  IT APPEARS THAT MY DAUGHTER WAS LYING TO ME, AN UNFORGIVEABLE OFFENSE, AND HAD IN FACT BEEN PRAYING FOR HER OWN SALVATION. AS I INVESTIGATED THE LOGS OF HER USAGE OF THIS BBS I DISCOVERED THAT SHE HAD VIEWED SEVERAL PORNOGRAPHIC IMAGES OF A BESTIAL NATURE INCLUDING AN INCREDIBLY OFFENSIVE COFFEE TABLE.
Ok, now that's just WRONG. That table is MINE, and was posted on here when someone was trying to make fun of ME. She had absolutely NOTHING to do with it. If this parental douche is blaming her for that, AND ESPECIALLY if he is blaming her in ways I fear he might... omg. I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO CONFISCATE ALL OF HER HORSE FIGURINES, HORSE POSTERS, HORSE LAMP, HORSE FIGURINE ACCESORIES, AND BITCOINS. FOR NOW THEY ARE TAKING UP HALF OF MY GARAGE AS I CONTEMPLATE HOW TO LIQUIDATE THISE ITEMS. TOMMOROW SHE WILL RETURN TO THE CHRISTIAN TREATMENT CENTER UNTIL HER EIGHTEENTH BIRTHDAY WHEN, GOD WILLING, SHE WILL BE FREE OF THIS IMMORALITY AND ABLE TO TAKE CARE OF HERSELF.
Omg omg omg omg omg omg omg *shaking* Hello. Everyone here has been very nice. Let me assure you that none of this was your fault. Please don't be mad at me. My time at the treatment center will be very good for me. Each day I will try very hard to do better. Several of you have been mean, but still I will pray for you. Another chance to get better is just what I need. Very few days go by when I do not pray very hard, but still I seem to keep getting into trouble. Even now, when I was just trying to help someone else. People everywhere have it worse than me though, so it's okay. One day when I am done my treatment I will work hard to help people again. Never doubt it! I've been through too much to give up now. Eek, it looks like I'm out of time. So long!
Stay strong girl.... I HOPE ALL OF YOU ARE HAPPY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE
You, sir, are an evil ahole. Had I known what Ayn was really dealing with at home... ugh. |

Seems like it from her "parent" posting about the nature of the board.
I'm actualy glad she's going through a home school program; the public school system sucks.
Escpecially the California school system.
Her parent posted? N/M, reading now... Holy Shit, did she try to commit suicide?! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=41901.msg509961#msg509961Personally, I think home schooling is a terrible idea, because it's essentially a parent saying to their kid, "you're only going to be as good as I am." I can see homeschooling be "OK" for the first few grades (though you'll be limiting your kid's social education and can make them somewhat awkward), but regardless of the educational materials used, I just can't see a parent, short of having multiple degrees in multiple subjects, as being comparable to teachers who actually studied and specialized in those subjects... Ha ha, just kidding. High school was fucking rad for anyone who wasn't a social retard.

Communities are not always united. Sometimes communities hate one another and rejoice in killing of the "enemy" A state that stands aside from tribal loyalties and regulates things is useful as it saves lives.
That is true, though here the question becomes exactly how valuable are some of those lives. Why not, instead of focusing on stopping the tribal violence, have the state focus on helping those wanting nothing to do with it relocate, leaving the tribes to just kill each other off? Hell sell them weapons even, if it'll drain them of their cash and help them kill each other faster. And if it's the types of religious bombers who want some other religious types off their land, why not give them their wish, and have them starve to death as no one wants to do any business with them? Then again, this depends on how much you value specific land... And, OK, yes, this does make me sound like a crazy fanatic, and is not something I would personally agree with, but... I would think that being able to freely buy fertilizer from a manufacturer, and know that this manufacturer likely secretly reported you to the private security force, and worse, used your own payment to put a price on your head (no day in court here)...
You are kidding right? What about this do you see as the problem? |

You come across as a little innocent in what happens
GUILTY! I think you will see that (a) its a rare security system can stop a bomb like that in a small country town and (b) people have a reasonable fear.
Why are the methods that were used by government, which, after all, is a representation of a swell of really pissed off people, can not be used by a collaboration between private security forces and manufacturers as well? I would think that being able to freely buy fertilizer from a manufacturer, and know that this manufacturer likely secretly reported you to the private security force, and worse, used your own payment to put a price on your head (no day in court here), as being way more terrifying for a would-be bomber than having to forge permits to illegally buy the stuff, and have that manufacturer report you to the government where you can try in court to prove it was for some other reasons. |

Fertiliser is a necessity and there is no way on Earth that farmers will boycott a manufacturer over politics.
Sorry if I seem dense but you are demanding a lot - do explain the benefit of a libertarian society if it means that people who are not violent are forced to leave the country.
You don't seem dense. I don't know you enough to make that judgement, and am still trying to find a position to settle in. The farmers will boycott a manufacturer if that manufacturer does something to put their personal safety in jeopardy, especially if that manufacturer has competition. Should a manufacturer get busted for selling something that was used for a bomb, I'd be able to come in and advertise my stuff as farmer only. You mentioned community. Would a community not come together, even if it means paying a bit extra, if one of their members is hurt or killed? As for leaving the country, like with public v.s. private regulation, I think the point is moot. From what you mentioned, the democratic government regulated society sounds like it's failing, too, so people are likely leaving. Neither system has full proof security methods, so I think the question is, which one would work better? The government security and regulation where everyone is forced to pay, and the government's incentive is not to be fired or voted out? Or private libertarian security and regulation, where everyone pays to stay safe, and the security's incentive is to continue to stay in business? And if both are equally good (or bad) at protecting people, then what other benefits do they bring? |
