| Message | OOC: For some reason, it frustrates me that you are not even familiar with the arguments presented by anti-statists. At least JLS understands my positions. I really need to finish an application I've been putting off for a week now. Then I can explain what I can possible have against a living wage :P |

| Message | OOC: No I get what you believe, I just dont understand it at all, it makes no sense to me from my viewpoint. Dont take his personally but your opinions come of as someone who's got alot against people |

| Message | OOC: I hope you're not confusing the Church of Satan and my actual beliefs, which are closer to that of my current party. How, exactly, have I come off as someone who's got a lot against people? By showing concern that health subsidies could potentially lead to a cycle of dependency (and thus making the problem worse)? By opposing the government taking money away from profits that would benefit regular workers as well as shareholders? |

| Message | OOC: I really havent seen much of a change since you became the NLP, sma eparty different name. I really am not familiar with people of your viewpoint, but I think you deny, what I see as fact that the state is a naturally organised system by the people to make someone benefit, be it a warlord or the general people. You put a pile of people on an island with no outside influence and some form of state will evolve. Plus I dont like your ideas on other aspects of human nature, I believe if you make accessible to a man food, water and shelter, he will then move on to want more thing (knowledge, intimacy etc.), not in greed but in the desire for self actualisation. As I said before I'm a Maslow kind of guy, bt you are intitled to your opinion as am I, so forgive my intolerance. |
