Aug 27, 2010 - Ill tell you how many weapons there would be, there would be just enough for people to think that they are safe against the bad guys and obviously their accuracy on their needs on weapons would become more accurate.

Oct 8, 2010 - if microsoft wants to do that, would they need to charge more?

Incrue Says:

Dec 30, 2010 - T1000 off course

Incrue Says:

Dec 30, 2010 - if it was as big as Microsoft, it would not

Jan 3, 2011 - I realize that governments are for stupit people who can get it right without a fear authority...and this is the mayority!! The develop super human is the one who can know the basic plrinciples with out a fear state, without a "if you kill someone you go to hell".. Well men is basic: Dont kill because the probability that someone would kill you would be bigger!! If you are able to be the killer you are able to be killed.....If there is no killers there is no risk to be killed.. I find it basic

Jan 4, 2011 - not having a solution to something doesn't mean there isn't one. For example, evolutionists don't know exactly how life began, but that doesn't discredit evolution. It is the classic fallacy of incredulity; just because we don't know, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

Mar 24, 2011 - Right off the bat you complain about scare stories, but I remember you incessantly resorting to the idea that minarchism inevitably grows into uncontrollable bullying. I'm not disagreeing with what you say about scare stories, I think the debate should be a purely philosophical one not based on strawmen, but it doesn't take away the fact that both sides were doing this. Will return in like an hour to watch the rest of this >_>

Apr 24, 2011 - Personally, if a DRO uses lethal force, I wouldn't be willing to pay for that. Alternatively, if technology advanced a weapon that puts a aggressor in a psychedelic state, I'd be willing to pay for that.

survivalpodcasting Says:

Jun 7, 2011 - So name one and even just ONE time in history that anarchism actually worked.

BearWindAppleyard Says:

Jun 13, 2011 - I don't that much about it, but somewhere in Spain in a very short period between 1936-1939.

Aug 21, 2011 - Very helpful, as always. Thanks Stef.

slickbtk Says:

Nov 26, 2011 - not to mention the fact that if a company was able to amass such a large savings by running a legitimate company then its actors and owners have all the more incentive to continue to be legitimate. why risk existing proven success with movie line world domination pipe dreams? and of course thats just one logical check, obviously there would be hundreds of other objective checks that are not in the control of the would be tank buyers.

Jan 14, 2012 - In a sense, it reveals the non-objectivity on which the whole anarchist position is based.

jonathanaconway Says:

Jan 14, 2012 - Interesting to see @janhelfeld's comments ignored and marked as "spam", while Stefan waffles on about non-essentials, without once caring to respond to any of Jan's questions.

janhelfeld Says:

Jan 14, 2012 - WORSE, he broke his word on compling with the agreed debate format and refused to answer my questions. Ask him if he willing to debate me in a neutral venue were he can't cut and run.

travis0629 Says:

Jan 17, 2012 - any interaction which is voluntary is an example of anarchy.

FreiwilligFrei Says:

Jan 23, 2012 - these were scare facts about minarchism. he said the minarchism experiment failed and jan couldnt give a real reason how to prevent it to happen again.every time jan described the rogue dro wich overtakes teh society, he described the state that we have now!

evelsteev Says:

Mar 23, 2012 - Jan, man. Just give up. Your "guerrilla" interview supposedly corrupt government officials, yet you support the present system government? That's a contradiction. LOL!

evelsteev Says:

Mar 23, 2012 - Helfeld claims that we are "born" into state, and, based on that alone, that makes it morally valid? Being born into slavery is irrelevant to how immoral it is. LOL

batfly Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - Stefbot,I would like to know how we evolve from a world full of statists to a world of anarchy...I know you have stated we need to start with practicing non violence in the home.What is the scenery of progresses in society towards an anarchic society?In other words, what are the gradual changes in society that we can expect in order to transform to a completely anarchic society.Will we first have a minarchy before anarchy?

jsmith2144 Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - anarchy is a serial killers wet dream. secret criminals who can not be identified can not be ostercized or killed. investigation will be difficult in a world without warrants and subpeona. no fingerprint database.anyhoo, i think stef's arguments would be more powereful if he would admit anarchy would still be full of problems and violence. his utopian anarchy is just as fantastical as jan's trust in a limited government.

jsmith2144 Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - and stef, all of your "vast" free market experience is actually extremely limited to folks with relatively robust wealth and intellect. there are hundreds of millions of people in the us and canada that fall well short of your educational standards. can not apply principles to people who dont know the word "principle." the wealthiest segment of society do live as anarchists, and they have formed their own private security firm, its called the US Government. DUH!!!!!

christophedetiege Says:

Apr 13, 2012 - I think scare stories are wonderful arguments.. they are possible and your philosophy fails when you can't answer with a possible solution based on what had already been done. A violent reaction after rape is very plausible and it turning out in a war is also very plausible, that's just reality.. if i am the bigger defense agency and i have more materials, there would be no reason for me to want any more costumers cause i can just defeat all other agencies and loot all my costumers and others..
