Uhhh...... no they absolutely don't.

You know how many times I've been mugged or stolen from? Once. That's a pretty damn good percentage as far as I'm concerned.



You're young, and have probably lived a very sheltered life. I can assure you that you wouldn't have made to school with your lunch money at my bus stop. Plus you probably don't have much worth stealing, maybe a bitcoin.

Which is correct and completely contradicts what you've said. How in the process of you getting mugged is it mutually beneficial for you? It's a closed system, people act competitively and rationally to get ahead.

I dealt drugs (weed, pills) in high school. I can say I was dealing with a few shady people.

Okay, I searched "libertarianism". D.F. came up on the first page of links at least twice. I stopped clicking on the links after that.

Wrong again, joshie.

I think you missed my point.

There has only been one occasion where someone hasn't acted in a voluntary manner towards acquiring resources with me.

And everyone you dealth with did everything because it was mutually beneficial for you, naturally? I have a long, checkered past myself, and you're bringing up the game as your real world example for people being naturally inclined to act in a mutually benefical way?

I'm at a loss for words.

A mugging is your only definition of an act of not mutually acquiring reasources? What about any sort of business competition? Any sort of currency manipulation? Have you ever worked in a real job? Does everyone want to get promoted at the same time? Jesus christ, kid.

They probably look at you and conclude you don't have anything of enough value to risk getting arrested for....

Eta: Ask all those btc owners who have had their bitcoins stolen.

Yes, implicitly.

No, that's not why I brought it up. I brought it up to combat the "sheltered life" of trading juice boxes at lunch criticism.

But, it does act as a good example. Plenty of shady dealings going on in a black market setting and yet, there is a black market. People aren't burning houses down for crack until they are so strung out that the only way they can get it is to steal. That's my point. Their tendency is to act voluntarily.

I tried to get you & Benny to move this political crap to the Poli Board. What a shock that it devolved into more political crap!
