4600 out of 50000 is a little better than . 8 %, but nice try . Of course numbers don ' t matter to most liberals . <| sep |> I hope this is a reference to the Keith Gurky thing . <| sep |> If something can be shown to be harmful to me then the government is absolutely allowed to step in to protect mine and everyone ' s rights . Pollution , damage to the environment , noise , property damage or loss of value , etc are all harmful to me . Hence , environmental regulation is fully aligned with a libertarian philosophy . <| sep |> It doesn ' t come from ignorance . A quick google search and I could give you full context proving my points . Want to know how to treat your slaves ? It ' s in almost all the religious books , it doesn ' t say not to own them , just how to trade and treat them . You ' re wrong , I know it takes a lot to admit that , but you are . I ' ll give you a point and agree that religion has been used falsely to lead the oppressed to a better place , but last time checked it hasn ' t lead us to a better place and it ' s time to move on . Also there ' s evidence that the Hebrew people were never slaves of the Egyptians but rather paid workers , the verdict is still out but it ' s interesting nonethless . Also I wasn ' t asserting any superiority until you came along and by default cornered me into doing it by defending myself . I simply said leave it at home , I ' ll do the same with my beliefs or lackthereof so we can logically solve problems based on evidence , that to me is a fair compromise . Also I ' m pretty sure you ' re wrong about the people in this sub generalization because I thought the same thing until someone sent me a survey based on results from this sub and the answers were actually to the contrary . The revolutionaries just talk more and that ' s why you have that impression . Edit if you want a violent revolution go big or go home armchair warrior . Adults are talking .
