@Kayumi_art@JezziiB It is the most objective and scientific way to determine sentience or consciousness. Prior to the CNS you can argue that it's just cells, not a sentient being. After CNS that argument disappears. The size is irrelevant. Big people don't have more moral worth than little people.
@Kayumi_art@JezziiB That's literally what an abortion is, you retarded psycho.
You could argue that very early terminations aren't but certainly by the time the CNS is developed you have a sentient human being. Birth doesn't create a baby.
@BiblicalAnarchy We fail to unify against our criminal government, leaving broken individuals to try and fight them alone. I remember the former, always.
As for the latter, happy birthday. Hope you have a good one.
@JezziiB My enemy is the people who rob me. That's the government.
A person being rich doesn't deprive me of anything unless they're using the government to rob me.
@LairdColt@KingRebo1@nakedemperror@foleywoley You're assuming a lot there with virtually no evidence for any of it.
Terrible writing is the more realistic explanation.
Also, if Anakin resented the jedi for not freeing his mum then he'd surely resent Padme too, especially as it would be easier for her and she met her.
@Rerazer I'd quibble at the "it isn't their fault" bit, as they're still responsible for their actions, but I basically agree with the rest. Coercion guarantees corruption and incompetence.
Voluntarism is the only solution.
@Rerazer Spot on.
If only we could unite in a focused effort to abolish the coercive rule of statism, along with all NAP-violating coercion by establishing the NAP as law through a peace agreement, then maybe we could get something resembling justice.
Until that day, the bs continues.
@KingRebo1@LairdColt@nakedemperror@foleywoley That's why they couldn't buy her at the time, not why they couldn't have gone back and bought her with "something more real".
Are you trying to suggest that rich people in the Republic had no way of trading with people who didn't accept public credits?
There's no valid excuse.
@LairdColt@nakedemperror@foleywoley It wasn't even mentioned as a point of contention. Also, even if the jedi were so disconnected to just leave his mother in slavery, despite Qui Gon initially trying to free her too, why didn't Padme buy her freedom? She's super rich and her home planet was close by.
@LPNational Libertarians should want government to stop taxing at all, then to fuck off out of existence and never return.
This minarchism bs is getting us nowhere.

@x_skeng If you believe in labour theory of value, then go dig a hole, then fill it back in, then dig it again and then fill it back in. Do that every day for a year. Then tell me you deserve more money than JK Rowling because all she did was write some books while you worked harder.
@BobMurphyEcon It's because you've not been on my podcast yet. Sometimes, my views get into double digits. So you're clearly missing a trick.
Fortunately, it's easily remedied. Consider this your official invitation to put yourself on the map and learn about NOS.

@LibertyLockPod We're not even legally allowed to carry pepper spray.
We're a joke, like all countries are to varying degrees. We allow ourselves to be ruled by criminals.
The Nations of Sanity project presents the solution.
The NAP as the law.

@OrevaZSN The ultra rich control the government, you fucking retard. More tax is just more money for them to redirect for their self interests. Get a clue, ffs.
