  Obama will have a hard time against Ron Paul if Paul won the primary because lots of people who use to support Obama are not supporting Paul, Paul may not appeal to republican voter base but he is very popular with party free voters and democrative voters.

  
  
  where the hell you get this from
  No poor person (with a brain) would vote for Ron Paul

  This is what you call constructive criticism?

  In a capitalistic anarchistic society, social services like police and firefighters will be privatized. Of course then money become the leader so it's not truely free anyway.

  
  That's not nearly as reliable and honestly, they could (and likely will) end up charging a good bit more anyway. But the main issue is that not everyone/every company would be formally trained properly in all situations, response time may suffer in less profitable areas, etc. Basically, it'd just be a damn mess and some people wouldn't be able to do much about it. It would eventually fall apart and we'd all have much more dangerous daily lives as a result. Human nature doesn't allow people to just be good to each other for the sake of being good when everyone can do what they want and there are far easier and individually beneficial situations that involve screwing people over.
  
  If you don't believe the government should come in here, where do you believe the government should come in? Or are the implications that the government should not exist period?

  Disagree, he's just saying what he thinks. He doesn't have to agree with everyone and it's not like he's really "attacking" people much. Maybe you think he follows Ron Paul blindly, but what he believes is what he believes and he should have the ability to express his opinion as much as anyone else. Trying to decide which opinions are okay and which aren't just sets things up for biased, one-sided discussions and closed-minded thinking. If you think what he's saying is wrong, tell him why. Or if you don't feel like it, don't. I mean, it's up to you.

  I am not really pro Anarchy, I just don't think it would be as bad as people think. I am pro "as little government as possible". So more freedom and less government. Personally I don't know where to draw the line either, what I do know is currently we are having too much government.

  Enough.
  
  I'm only giving everyone in this thread one warning before I close it. I don't want to see anymore trolling or this childish arguing occurring, otherwise I will start handing out infractions.
  
  You can disagree with a persons view on a subject, but there is ABSOLUTELY no reason for you all to treat each other with rudeness. If you can no longer discuss this rationally and nicely-leave the discussion.

  The rules, I highly suggest you read them.
  
  Clearly, I was expecting too much for a bit of maturity to be had in this thread. As for this thread, it's being closed now. If you can't act maturely, or nicely to others-let alone RESPECT what a mod is saying then there's no point in me keeping this thread open.
