You posted: “You are actually suggesting that letting childred be BEATEN, RAPED AND KILLED is preferable to the government having laws to prevent it.”

I posted no such thing.

Actually, that is EXACTLY what you posted in post #122. Here, let me refresh your memory:

Yes, some children will be beaten, seduced, raped, even killed. But, given that government intervention is worse

The libertarian solution ALWAYS seems to be to look for an excuse to remove laws and your rationalization is among the sickest.

There are some things which government can’t do. Preventing evil seems to be one such thing. Preventing child abuse by government taking custody of the abused child has been tried - and those programs produced more abuse.

~snip~

The sad fact is that state custodial care is filled with violent, and/or sexually predatory “clients” who then beat or rape other “clients”.

Sorry, but government has proven that it can not prevent it.

So, you want to take a single extreme incident and remove all laws protecting children. Typical libertarian anarchist.

Libertarians are ruining this website.
 
I've long called on Jim Robinson to take a bugzapper stand and clean it up He won't. I guess the donations from the libs are more important than conservative values.
