Capitalism Cures Poverty

[StCapps]

Found a new avatar for you, Capps ol’ boy!

You should use it, except make the Donkey Blue, so you can remember LBJ is a Democrat next time. Okay, pumpkin?

What are you all doing here in this thread if society does not exist.

That's why we need net neutrality. Society has to protect this high-level debate.

:goteam: :drunk:

You are communicating to me in a mutually-intelligible language, and according to mutual customs and courtesies, all created and maintained by.. what, exactly?

You can call it society, I'd prefer "culture" I think.

One name we can rule out is "state."

Culture is a property of what exactly?

Nothing. I love to drive.

We don't need society for roads. Or road rules. Or pretty much anything.

We don't need road rules? Are you high? Please, enlighten us how traffic flow in your world vision works?

Take a deep breath.

Obviously we need rules on which side of the road we drive on.

We need all sorts of conventions for use of roads.

We don't need society to get these things.

We don't need society to have road rules.

By agreeing to common conventions for use of roads on the territory you live on and share (in your state or country), you verify yourself as part of a society. Society is the agreement, the shared willingness to make the agreement, not what you agree on.

On another subject... Have you considered correcting people who tag you as libertarian, by introducing them to the term "minarchism"? Isn't that closer to your beliefs?

Just in case no one pointed it out yet, if it were left to "society," there wouldn't be a US of A.

Good thing for us a couple rabble rousers went ahead and tipped that apple cart in spite of the opinion of the majority of muh society.

One more for good measure, a minority of states, meaning a minority of society, made the bill of rights a prerequisite to the constitution.

One man's society is another man's capitalist kingdom, while the other man's society is a communist gulag. It makes it tough to talk about "society" when the discrepancy is so large.

We may argue a lot on this board, but at least we all agree on the same religion. Maybe we can't be a functional society based on economics, but we are certainly united by our shared spirituality.

This board works because our shared values are OWGism. (There's also a deep undercurrent of matured shyness. My guess is that everyone who posts here was cripplingly shy as a kid and has found, or is finding, their voice as an adult.)

Not me, I've always been a big mouth troublemaker, like my father before me. If anything, I'm the opposite, I'm becoming a reclusive curmudgeon as I age.
