  • Any introductory books on western philosophy recommendations for the ultimate begginner(can't emphasise begginner enough)? I've borrowed one from the library but I don't know how good it is.
    Check my latest post, london were trying to get rid of the Islands and now it would seem as if the bloody place was part of the British Archipelago when William the Conqueror became King of England…
    Do I run the same risks as when touching a white flag with a red cross on it? I've read a few excerpts, I don't agree with it but I'm not for anything remotely near Stalinism. My Political compass had me almost on top of Gandhi… Anarchy in the UK!
    Thanks for taking up the load in the Reagan thread. That said, I have a proposition for you: come and join us on the dark side.

    On the daaaaark side, ohhh yeah.
    While he puts "intellectual property" in quotes, he doesn't actually say anything about why it isn't property. There is no single libertarian theory of intellectual property; Rothbard, for example, claimed that some copyrights are legitimate. Rothbard's example was a mousetrap designer stamping his mousetraps "do not copy," and in Rothbard's view, this constituted a contract as the buyer consents to the condition. Other libertarian theorists have offered alternative views, but I'm not familiar with many of them and don't yet have a strong view on the subject. I tend, however, to not believe that these things constitute property.
    IMHO the main problem with the North of England is that it's in England, not protectionism. :p
    Yeah, I had started out with the traditional American right-wing education on economics, societal organization, history, etc. I've had a lot of catching up to do over the last few years.
    Hey, figured I should drop you a thank-you at some point for the link to the brendanmcooney videos and the Ask-a-Red posts. It's cleared up several of the questions I had.
    Don't you know about measuring the Earth's shadow in two places at once or were you just having fun with that pudding fellow?
    I was about to respond to you in my money thread when the quote came up, you had changed what you were saying to a reply to countrygrll.
