[quote]Sure seems like you're arguing that property rights only exist because of government. If I misread that, then where do you believe property rights come from?[/quote]
Which kind of property?
Right to property that is the fruits of labor come from labor.

[quote]Wait, so owning property didn't happen until after government was created? [/quote]
Didn't say that.

Didn't say it was a big deal or that it was theirs. ...

[quote]The government doesn’t grant a deed to property.[/quote]
What? Who granted it then?

Where and how was this right of ownership conferred? What made the unimproved value of the land the proper...

[quote]I believe that I cannot confer rights to someone that I do not posses. Therefore, I can't give government my consent to steal from you.[/quote]
Yet you give the government your consent to use force to ensure the exclusive use of property that did not come into existence as the fruit of som...

[quote]the fact that a politician believes that working people are being oppresed by coprate overlords and thus we should be taxing them to death instead of seizing their property doesn't matter.[/quote]
I would argue it does matter....

[quote]Nah, Marxism and his socal theories are behind every bit about f it.[/quote]
I would somewhat agree.
However, economically, it is quite diverse. And leftists across the western world who are referred to as socialists practice and preach a form of progressive taxation and distribution...
re: Why do Marxists resist being called Marxists?

Well, western leftists don't seem to really subscribe to Marxist thoughts as much as they do redistribution. I think in common parlance, Socialism is used more to mean state intervention in consumption markets. Taxing production or collectivizing the product and then redistributing it socially.

"(including potential conference championship games). May not sum to a whole number because of differing number of games played in each simulation."
So Yes. They tell you ...

[quote]FPI projected us to play 12.3 games? I think you’re the one who botched the rounding.[/quote]
It does show that. Because of chance of SECCG I guess?
But, OP was talking about regular season, so it would be 9.3 wins and 2.7 losses for regular season. So he rounded 9.3-2.7 down, which ...

[quote]Nice tree results, but unnecessary to run a tree because, from a preseason viewpoint, the results of the games are more independent than dependent.[/quote]
It's not necessary to do anything. But the "tree" he posts shows what EV of wins cannot. If you are interested in LSU's chances of m...

[quote]Yes, I know how that works. I’m not accounting percentages or anything over a total season, just a game by game standpoint.[/quote]
Ah, so you are not doing it correctly, just doing it like a total imbecile instead?
But you definitely know how it works.........

re: GOT line of succession (S8E4 spoilers)
Posted by HotTakeHerald on 5/6/19 at 8:04 am
Her only claim to the throne now is loyalty and her dragons. Why does it matter if she has the second or third best claim.
If anything, it makes sense to give a royal bastard the claim over beloved Jon Snow, who has the loyalty of the Nights of the Vale and other houses of the north. ...

Because the duals are made up of matches.
2 out of 3 games wins a match. 3 out of 5 matches wins the dual. They just need a word besides game or match, since those are already taken. ...
