Co-incidentally (ironically?) the best criticism of walter block on these forums generally comes from a fly.

Purse carry is generally not a good idea since they are easy to snatch away, and are the target of an a attack more often than rape. Drawing a gun from a purse id much slower than from a holster. You also dont have the advantage of giving/throwing an assailant your purse while you draw your pistol.

Otherwise I think hes pretty much right on. PC "progressives" are largely ****tards

"some of my best friends are women." wasn't this consigned to the rubbish heap of ironic usage in like the 1970s? (see my location)

Can't trust a man who's beard connects to his hair, they're devoid of scruples.

It's a "controversial" article that I wanted two plus twos opinion on

Posting a link without posting your own thoughts is generally considered low content, and there's a thread for that.

We're trying to be more liberal with threads! It's why there's a really bad one about not watching porn right now.

I realize he admits it's trivial, but the 2nd graph is so idiotic and off-base that I don't know how you could take the rest seriously.

Dids,

Is saving the 4 letters in paragraph really worth the potential confusion of people (one particular person) spending their precious time fruitlessly searching for graphs until they figure you out?

It starts off misogynistic, takes a turn for the stupid, and then becomes like a rambling list of things a mentally ill old man doesn't like. Weird language complaints, then about how dumb everyone else is, then he somehow segues into being about welfare for a minute, then it's about guns? And rape?

Then he ties it all together to talk about the wage gap?

That article is literally written at a middle school level. A failing middle school level. 5 paragraphs son, state a thesis, explain why it's true.

Walter Block is arguably the single most distinguished anarchocapitalist thinker currently publishing in the world.

Eh mostly I hate progressives and instead of embracing differences equality is forced

Also I thought it was funny

I used to go to college at LoYola and everyone is all up in arms on Facebook right now

Really just looking for some intelligent but smart allic responses to copy
