I'm not understanding how you think this furthers your claim.
my point is, if you don't use government services, then they have no right to impose their regulations and taxes on you. I know that right now, wether you use government services or not they are still going to force compliance to their laws, but it shouldn't be that way.
So you seem to have totaly abandoned your "social contract"?
No, if you don't use their services, then there isn't a contract. But the chances you will eventually use them is extremely high, almost 100%. The chances that a person wants to live isolated on a property the entirety of their adult lives is pretty low, eventually the social contract is going to be a factor.
If they forcefully prevent other services from developing by disallowing them, (they do this on a regular basis) your use of their so called "service" isn't really a contract created by free will is it?
I know they prevent other providers of services, but they shouldn't. At the same time, they have been an institution longer, and therefore own more resources making it impossible to not enter the contract. This is tricky, because you can't say they don't have a right to own those resources just because they beat you to them, because it would be the same as myself saying another individual doesn't have the right to their property just because they beat me to it. This raises the question, what is ownership and what are the criteria for someone claiming ownership of property?
So the alternative is to beconfined to an area, never leave that area AND still pay taxes on that area in order to prevent forcible expulsion? Even tho you haven't used any "services", you are still forced to submit to the demands. Frankly, anyone expousing the idea of "social contracts" is just trying to legitimize forcing their will upon others. Wolves mascarading as sheep. Mostly a bunch of losers (and politions who pander to them) who think they have some God-given right to take what they will from others. They should be hung. Several times.
No, I said if you don't use the services in your area, then you SHOULDN'T be required to pay property taxes. Also, the premise of my argument was the fact that if you are independent of government service and property, then you are exempt from government involvement. I'm not trying to argue the current status quo is correct, stop trying to make that part of my argument.
Well you ARE be required to pay property taxes. if you are independent of government service and property, then you are NOT exempt from government involvement. Your argument is what "justified" the status quo.
Are you lacking reading comprehension? Yes, we are required even if we are governmentally independent but we SHOULDN'T be is what I have been saying.
Good question at the end of your post. An understanding of what property is, becomes paramount to a discussion.
No, first you blathered about a "social contract", then you tried to weasel out of it.
Yes, because everyone uses public services. No one is trying to weasel out of anything, I stand by my ideas. I notice though, all you do is complain and try to shoot down others ideas. What are some of your solutions, or are your solutions just as dumb and lacking of intelligence as you are? Don't fear criticism. Let's hear your ideas.
Solution? To what problem? Other's ideas? Demanding we subjegate ourselves before the state isn't an "idea". You want to enslave the populace. My solution would be the guillitine for those who think as you,.
So your solution is to kill people whose ideas you don't like, well what if I kill you first? I guess I win then.
I like this game. When can we all play? Been a few hundred years since we rattled our own cage.
I dunno, I played the game for a little while when I visited a few valleys in Afghanistan. It's very tiring, but I guess its whenever red takes control of the country.
No, my solution is to kill this who wish to enslave others.
