who are you talking to?

You, am I confused?

Yeah, since I never said most of the stuff you're attributing to me.

Unless of course, there's some strange redefinitions that you've used that aren't readily apparent. Seems that the word 'anarcho-' comes from the latin for meaning 'making **** up'.

No I didn't say you said any of those things. I thought you wanted to try pvn's ice cream act from the beginning... so I just wound the tape back and gave my answer if we were in fact playing that game. But I guess I am confused.

Sorry, never mind!

I have seen this on the top of the front paige for a while now. I read the OP and assumed it would fall off for a couple weeks. I spent the time typing this and looked up, and saw a debate about ice cream. hope my thought is still relavant.

Since the beginning of recorded time, the spoils of war go to the victor. Until the USA was formed, all countries lived by this moto. A Colonies thread would be nice for historic value.

I can not recall a time in human history when a victorious people spent nearly as much time thinking (and doing) for the conquered.

Although the actions of early Americans suck (in relation to our high minded veiws), it is incredibly ignorant to veiw the USA as abusive as per our dealing with native Americans. In fact, complete slaughter would be the course of action for any civilazation at that time. We really did stop the slaughter rule, and that should be acknowledged.

lmao do you even understand the objections itt?

if you/your ancestors were justified in conquering a people and passing down stolen wealth/privilege to your decedents, then government is just as justified in taxing you simply because they are powerful enough according to your own whack ass philosophy

get it now?

there is no 'legitimacy' in libertarianism, or anything else for that matter. its all about convincing and swaying enough people to your side. how is that not mindbogglingly obvious by now?

lol willfully ignorant to further ones own cause dot jaypeg

so according to this line of thinking its also ok to tax and regulate present day americans so long as we stop at outright killing. thanks for the reminder, almost forgot

you do realize the natives they didnt kill were the ones they were able to push far enough away and/or enslave right? lets also not forget about the ones we violently imported to bolster our illegal occupation. but no, lets keep painting the pretty colors and it'll all go away

MissileDog gonna missile

FYP We called it missilating when our little doggie would go nuts and run around like crazy. Her love and joy of simply running was one of the reasons she earned the title The Missile. I'd give up your interwebs and my left nut to see her do it again, sob, sob...

No I just got it in my mind that coffee wanted to play the "hire everyone in the world to eat ice cream game". But I do blog at the bar, so obviously I was drunk/confused. My bad! What were we chatting about?

I accidentally all the ice cream in the universe. :|

depends what the missing verb is.

Something tells me you just set me up.

lol too bad it's April 2nd for him

Sure, "Ignore" would not be a bad thing. Having trouble coming up a whole lotta other verbs that wouldn't end up being a bad thing however. Are you highly lactose tolerant?

I kinda forgot about this... but I was thinking. I don't need any "licencees" or whatever you might be "highly coupled with how [you] make a living right now..." or whatever. Why would I even care. I don't need to "licences" anything ever. I can download the Linux kernal, hack it to my desire, and go from there. I can write my own kernal from scratch, and bring it up from the bare metal hardward drivers.

Why would I care if people claim they 'own' code? When you say weak marketeer phrases like "highly blah-blah-blah, that's marketeer speak". Who cares? That's ignorant BS. Long before Linux existed, I have created OS's and tools for more processors than you can imagine. How do you think I worked my way through college while working more than full-time?

Dude, I have hacked kernels long before Linux was imagined. Actually, I have written more kernals than I have hacked. I have ported OS's between mainframes, micros and proto-PC's, more than you have ever heard off, and long before IBM even got into the pc-game. More than one Fortune 500 has paid me cash money to fix Bill Gates code, long before Windows was a dream in his employees eyes.

The first chip that was used for the Mac, I wrote all the tools for it... even before Motorola could even get production chips out the door ... five years before 'the commercial'. I realize that this is going to make no sense to a marketeer, but 1/16 of the original instruction space of the M68000 chips were invalidated by my produced code. About $XXX million dollars worth. Sorry you're a marketeer, this is way over your head. It is exactly the same as 1/16 of a factory being unusable... to the end of time, or the lack of upward compatibility, which is basically the same thing.

And I also wrote the first tools, outside of Intel, for the 8086/8088. Two years later that was the chip chosen for the original IBM PC. Way back in the day, it always made us LOL, when marketeers thought they had the slightest idea of reality. I happy to see that nothing has changed.!

You uncreative parasitic sycophants still get paid more than us hackers I hear, that hasn't changed, amirite?

Just when you think MD has gone off the deep end for the last time he finds new depths to plumb. I can't imagine what you think the above post is a response to.

I invented the internet.
