The editor, Nick Gillespie, argues that the spread of pornography is a victory for free expression and that heroin should not only be legalized, but using it occasionally is just fine.

In my opinion, even if you agree that pornography is a victory for free expression and that heroin should be legalized, you make an ass out of yourself by making a point of supporting it.

I generally like Libertarians, but they are extremely childish.

The only thing Libertarians and Democrats have in common is childishness.

I generally like Libertarians, but they are extremely childish.

Most of them are either below the age of 18, or should be.

No, my point is that, were I a Libertarian, I wouldn't give a fig if you watch pornography or shoot heroin, nor is it the slightest business of yours if I do. Victory, defeat, good or bad is not the issue, the issue is that it ain't none of your business nor is it any of mine if that's what gets you off.

The difference is the Libertarians don't think either should be subsidized, that if you rip off someone's house to pay for your smack, or force an adult or allow a child to CREATE the porn then you should be either offed or imprisoned.

Since I don't care for either, myself, I can't get too passionate about their spread or legalization. However I can pretty passionate about people who give a damn about what other people do when it doesn't affect them directly and involves no force, fraud or threat between adult parties- busybody moralists are far sicker than Larry Flynt, Lenny Bruce or any other such doomed individual.

In my above post the "you", of course, is not my good fellow freeper TSchmereL, but the generic "you". TS is COMPLETELY correct that overtly stating such things is dumb, dumb, dumb.

My motto when describing Libertarianism is "The party of Guns, Drugs and Sodomy".
