Yes, I agree. But compulsive behaviour is complex psychology sometimes, it depends on so much about the way an individual thinks. The frequently difficult aspect is getting someone with harmful behaviour to even recognise they have a problem. Unless you want to force them into treatment (not the libertarian way), significant amounts of drug addicts will not take the advice.

Well then they have to be denied healthcare when their health goes south. There is no way to put it.

Either they go to therapy, or their healthcare won't cover drug related ilnesses. This is a libertarian fair ,way to not incentivize unhealthy behaviour.

Better yet, eliminate socialized healthcare entirely, why should a healthy person pay for an alcoholic or a drug addicts bills?




*sigh*

Yes, I agree with all this too. But who really goes into any relationship without hoping it might be the one that lasts? I've often said that there's alot of people out there that just aren't suited to getting married, you can see the outcome (divorce) years in advance with some people. But again, freedom to make mistakes is paramount for me. Maybe if we weren't all living these very intense 40 hours + working weeks with 14 days holiday a year, people would have better quality time to think about these decisions, to meet a wider range of people before they make hasty or ill-considered commitments.

Yea good point, it is really annoying that people have to work 40+ hours a week, they dont have time for raising kids, they dont have time for romance, heck they dont have time to live.

This is one of the root causes of socialism, if we give people more time to choose things, they will make more rational decisions, than in the heat of the moment.

I am not saying you have to force people to stay together, nor I would like to ban divorce. I dont like to ban things, i just want to discourage bad behaviour.

So if a family decides to divorce, it's their choice, but they should suffer the consequences as well: no allimony, no maternal leave, no government welfare for single parents, and then let's see how they will live.






I'm with you on these observations also, immigration is being used as a covert weapon by the political class. The left-identifying knee-jerking annoys me a great deal here: merely pointing out that 100's of thousands of immigrants arriving simultaneously is going to cause indigenous xenophobes to start calling for lynchings is itself dismissed as racism. I don't know what they think they're arguing for, that somehow they can convert every who's afraid of foreigners into hippies overnight, just because "it's the right thing to do". What difference does that make if the migrants and the xenophobes end up all killing each other!

Well it is being use to breed more welfare voting leftists.


I agree that security services would be more accountable if privatised. But the borders stuff has to go, apart from the border to your house and mine, of course. There's one aspect of globalisation that no-one can put back into the bottle: the technology. Modern transport and communications have made the world a smaller place, and that trend is not looking like changing for the time being. When it takes hours to do journeys that used to take weeks, when I think of the idea of queuing up to check myself in at the gate to get a little book stamped.... Roll Eyes

Well no it doesnt work that way, you have to ensure the security of the perimeter too, not just your house. If an armed mafia moves to your neighborhood, it won't help you if you have a pistol and lock your door, they will keep the neighborhood in fear and rob everybody. So unless you have money for a permanent army battalion headquartered in your backyard, I suggest you to take a more collective defense strategy here.

I would say a neighborhood run police force would be bare minimum. Basically the neighboors choose a security company to do the policing in that zone, with specialized and well trained people, it would work well.



I just don't have time for that. I'd love to be able to develop trading relationships worldwide, just for a weekly grocery shop. Go to Equador and Cote d'Ivoire for some chocolate, over to India and China for tea leaves and spices, pass through quickly France, Chile and Uruguay for vegetables.... how am I supposed to get this all done in one day if I have to mess about with customs desks and immigration officials and visa documents and... Cheesy
 

Well you cant because 1 flight is about 10 hours, so there is no way to be in all these places in 1 day.

But you could establish an international import company to do these things, setup a few supermarkets, and you have all your international goodies in your neighborhood grocery store.
