The no-knock thing is definitely a problem.... even I can agree on that one.
However, its a small percentage (albeit growing) chance that this will happen to you. Nothing to lose sleep over.
Really?
What if your simply at home in bed in the middle of the night?
1. Free soilers were against slavery because it was giving too much competition to labor. https://books.google.de/books?id=Tv...page&q=free soil party on immigration&f=false
"Free soil" was a reference towards westward expansion for natural citizens, not slavery... Their stance on slavery attracted anti slave democrats, libertarians, who thought it was unconstitutional like Jefferson.
2. My argument was that neocons are authoritarians which you just objectively proven, and then my counter argument was that republicans have always been authoritarians which I've shown to be true as well...
3. Because with an inflationary currency it makes it almost impossible to price cut internationally. The 10 million $ is an example, but the fact that they've monopolized themselves without any firms competing against them show us they are acting as a perceived duopoly. This is because of things like inflationary currency, subsidized exports, protective tariffs through inflationary currency. Not because of competition, they may have started as a competitive business but it takes state power to enforce duopolies and with an inflationary currency you don't necessarily need the state power, especially when you outsource. This is why it's almost impossible to compete with these mega companies. Have you ever studied exchange rate theory or monetary theory or subjective monetary value theory at all?
1. Obviously you have no economic backround in monetary theory. Us forces domestic prices to go up because they devalue the dollar. If I am selling an apple for 4$ in Japan and the market equilibrium rate is 3$, then I devalue the currency to make the value 2$in japan rather then 4$, I hold a competitive edge over Japanese apple market. In doing so, I skyrocket the price from 4$ to 6.5$ in the United States, thus making Japanese imports of rice which was valued at 5 yen import to jump to 8 yen import. Which makes it a tariff as well as an export subsidy. Doing so protects the production of American firms which lessens competition and where we have this loss of competition "deadweight loss" we create the perceived monopoly because all they need to do now is turn the demand curve inelastic by reducing production.
2. The only difference between a fiat currency and a centrally controlled economy is that a centrally controlled economy, I.e. Socialism, is the ultimate later stage of a fiat currency due to the fact that it is unsustainable. When monetary value rests in the hands of a few people, the entire purpose of the market becomes a cartel. This is literally what is happening to us right now, which is why we will always see more expansion on government
3. You did not explain any difference in monetary value theory at all, you explained the differences of the functions of a market society and a socialist society, not the differences of a central controlled monetary system and a central controlled economic system
A small percentage? Small relative to what? If society wants 0 no knock wrongful fatalities,and 1 occurs that's 100% increase. What are u comparing that "small percentage" with
Nice reply - the irony was not lost on me, either!Is that a pun about how no-knock raids frequently involve killing people in their sleep?
Your link doesn't work. But the response is still this: So? You are arguing the Republican roots are not in the anti-slavery movement. Obviously they are. The motivation of the anti-slavery roots of the Free Soil movement is irrelevant. Their motto was: "free soil, free speech, free labor, and free men” ... obviously authoritarians. :roll:
No to the first part, yes to the second. They opposed slavery specifically in the new territories. They wanted free laborers, not slaves, in the territories. It was that anti-slavery stance that attracted abolitionists to the cause.
No, contrary to your opinion, outlawing slavery is not authoritarian as the
Zero to 1 is not a 100% increase. :roll:
Huh?Yeah, really. According to the OP's link, about 1/4th of the people shot were described as mentally ill. Then about 80% were described as being armed. A significant percentage of the rest were just dumb and refused orders to comply or were "unarmed" criminals who tried to grab the cop's gun.
Then the odds are your boyfriend presents a greater danger. Cases of cops barging into homes in the middle of the night to assassinate innocent residents are rare.

0/1 to 1/1 = 100%
Lets be honest though..... Increase in a commodity over a number that one desires (which is also not realistic) is a kind of stupid argument to make.
So, because I want to win the 300 million dollar lottery, and I do win the 300 million dollar lottery.... I have received a 0% increase in lottery winnings?
Think about what you are saying for a second....
I don't think I said let's live in Fear I said it's an issue we need to changeSmall fraction of a chance that this will happen to someone. Thus it is not something to get paranoid about.
Im more worried about getting a mouse turd poisoned hamburger from McDonald's and contracting a fatal disease than I am worried about law enforcement storming into my home by mistake and slaughtering my family.
Should we do more to reduce both of those chances? Yes. Nobody is saying that.
But it is nothing to live in fear of.
All of your arguments assume that only commodity prices are fluctuating given economy. Essentially all of your proofs require an economy locked in a form of stagflation where the cost of goods go up without an inflation in wages. This is not a common occurrence. The last time this happened it wasn't a "NeoCon" that caused it, either.
False. You are fooling yourself when you say that "monetary value rests in the hands of the people" in a fixed currency system. In fact, monetary value rests in the hands of foreign governments in a fixed monetary system. To truly have a stable fixed currency you would have to pin the currency to a commodity that only has value to the citizens of that country which would dissuade foreign companies from manipulating the cost of the commodity on which the currency is fixed (which is also protectionism), but even if you were able to do that you would have created a currency that is essentially valueless in the world market.
No, you are projecting. You asked for a difference between a controlled economy and a controlled currency and then defined them both as variations in currency control which is absurdly false.
But they won't get fired for not doing their jobs
The whole thing is retarded and not all the cops fault but the cops can be a big part of the solution...
That is an odd way of thinking. Police who shoot defenseless and nonthreatening citizens are also criminals. Criminals will be criminals.
By vilifying police in general for the actions of a few you create an environment that discourages proactive policing, and you end up with the current murder sprees in Baltimore.
Then why is it that every time there is, as you put it, "a criminal cop," they get your unflinching support?
So we shoot dead the mentally ill? Well that justifies 25% of the killings, according to you!
And it appears you justify shooting another segment, "because they're 'just dumb'"?
And now, your equating the police (justifying their murderous activities, actually!) to abusive boyfriends?
Think of the ways you been ****ed by the rest of the world and they have not finished yet.
And you dont think the US is winning that battle? Biggest economy, most power military, a McDonalds in every country?
And 48 million on food stamps? Check the obesity rate with those fast foods. Check your crumbling infrastructure. Check your healthcare system, education system, judiciary, drug problem, foreign policy, crime rates, etc. just to name a few. You can camouflage all that with so called biggest economy, most power military, McDONALDS lololol
