>> Once again Strawman proves his captivation by US propaganda. One consistent
>> bullshit that Strawman mindlessly repeats - North Korea is a blackmailer and a

the article. Here is the shot I used:  And
here is the original uncensored version:
Clearly US propaganda - the US Congress building is a sure give away. And
that pathological hate filled face of the North Korean soldier?
Clearly another US imperialist
racist stereotype! When will
the Americans stop making these racist hate-posters defaming the peace-loving government of North Korea? >> One consistent bullshit that Strawman mindlessly repeats - North Korea is a
>> blackmailer and a cheat (the implication being that the West is not). Just to clarify Fatfingers - your position is that "North Korea is a
blackmailer and a cheat" is "bullshit"? LOL. >> It seems Strawman is opposed to collective power Uh - no. I have no problem with collective power. I have a problem with
initiation of force,
regardless of whether it is collective or not. Clearly the distinction is too
difficult for the left. >> Or as long as the government is keeping immigrants from
>> crashing at his pad (see Strawman's previous posts on immigration). Yes, that's the government's responsibility
- the only worthwhile function that government performs is protection of my property (yes, that includes
stopping people from "crashing my pad"). >> It reminds me of how libertarians in general (though Strawman obviously does
>> not belong in that category) find individual welfare so much more disgusting
>> than corporate welfare. Or at least it seems they reserve most of their energy
>> and arguments for combating individual welfare like the dole, rather than
>> tariffs. Well, they are all morally deplorable, but there is a difference. Subsidization increases
the quantity of the thing which is being subsidized. Corporate welfare
creates more widgets - more than the optimal number, but still hopefully useful
for something. Poverty welfare is simply subsidizing
poverty - it creates greater poverty. Corporate and middle class welfare
at least helps those it claims to (albeit unfairly and inefficiently). Poverty welfare hurts those it
claims to help. If that's too complex just look at the picture above and chant
Four legs good, two legs baaaaad
Four legs good, two legs baaaaad
for a while and it will all make sense. >> Let me amend that. Most contributors here at libertarian.org.au concentrate on

fat chicks that really got you pumped, wasn't it? That's OK - you can sue
MacDonalds for that now.
