    Maybe. I didn't think of that. I can't imagine Danke using a happy word like trapeze, though.

    Just look what would go. Don't be so principled about this, it isn't worth the mess over some blind loyalty to an out dated fact about taxation going back to the rotten barons who charged for tolls.
    Without principles, there is no logic; without principles, there is no truth; without principles, there is no reality.

    I am thankful for how Ron decided to spend his time regardless of how he feels about it. I don't think the idea of liberty would be dead if not for Ron but I think Ron managed to cast the seeds much farther then other liberty oriented individuals and thus made it more widely known. I feel damn fortunate that I was dealing with my frustration towards government while Ron was running instead of Bernie or Trump in the same way I feel fortunate that weed and mushrooms were the go to drugs during my time in high school instead of the meth and heroin that is more prevalent today.

    SMGDH. Read the material below for an example of the "moral" system Parasiticmoocherguy thinks is so wonderful ... (you know, the one where charity "isn't good" and "doesn't work" and "isn't any way to conduct a society" ...) [See thread: http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthr...s-life-support]

    The British parents of a dying 10-month-old have just one more chance to win permission to bring him to the US for experimental treatment. Chris Gard and Connie Yates filed an emergency appeal with the European Court of Human Rights after Britain's Supreme Court ruled against them on Thursday, reports the BBC. Their son, Charlie Gard, has an extremely rare and fatal disease called mitochondrial depletion syndrome, and they want to bring him to the US for treatment. But British health officials won't allow it [...]

    "How can they do this," cried Yates as the decision was announced, per the Guardian. "They are lying. We are going to America." The parents have raised more than $1.6 million on GoFundMe for the trip and medical bills. [...]

    Under Socialized Medicine, The State Owns You

    [...] On April 11, 2017, the courts in the UK ruled that Charlie Gard, against the wishes of his parents, must be immediately removed from life support and left to die. [...]

    In most cases of government run medical care, with such costs, the decision is final. Care is denied and you are sent on your way. In the case of wealthy individuals, medical tourism is always an option. Approximately 800,000 people every year fly to the United States and another 600,000 to Singapore to take advantage of cutting edge and high quality medical treatment that is not available anywhere else. But with the case of Charlie, the Ł1.2 million price tag would have been out of reach for a regular family. We would have had another footnote for Statists to prove how the poor get trampled under the foot of the rich and we would then go about our day.

    Except a major feature of the free market, private charity, kicked in wonderfully. Within a month of denial and discovery of the treatment, Charlie’s parents managed to raise the entire amount to pay for the treatment and trip to the United States. In a normal world, this would have been the end of the story. Charlie would have gone to the United States, received his treatment and we would have discovered if his already dire situation could have been mitigated or treatment failed.

    But the NHS decided, for whatever reason, to interfere with this process. When Charlie’s parents attempted to withdraw him for this treatment, Great Ormond Street, a children’s hospital in Greater London run by the NHS, rushed to the British High Court to block his parents from doing so. As government court systems are wont to do, they sided with themselves and denied the parents’ wishes for further private treatment and gave an official court order that Charlie is to be removed from life support and left to die. [...]

    Unlike the usual defects of public medical care, where resources are politically allocated leading to critical shortages for perfectly preventable diseases, such as the case of Laura Hiller in Canada, all the while claiming that medical care in a free market would be provided on a cut-throat system that denies the poor care. Charlie’s case shatters this self-proclaimed image. Here we have elements of the free market working as expected but with the government actively, and openly, doing everything it can to interfere with it. [...]

    So ... the NHS & UK government wants to murder a baby and force his parents to stand by and do nothing, but according to Parasiticmoocher guy, "the libertarian system is immoral" ...

    Sadly a number of users are ignorant, that is the problem. They think their on a high, whether you are, I don't know. But people are liars, they only care about themselves, even those self righteous do good religious people, better be upfront and state they aren't. Because either way its nonsense with plenty of prejudice.

    I don't see it much here in the UK, but its every in the world.

    What can one state, none of us care, and it feeds off everyone. Only good examples of social programs, and governance can give example, oh but wait, nobody cares about that.

    Everybody in life is just a freebie, and a free loader who isn't working, and they are all filfth blah blah, and all welfare is bad whether short term or long term. Yep.

    Centuries ago the barons used to charge a tax for people to go places, that is where taxation and the evil of it originates from.

    Charity stops being charity when it's done at the point of a gun.

    Get the government out of it and it will take care of itself.

    If there were no government involvement, people would be more willing to provide charity.

    As it is now many don't think it's necessary to provide charity, because they are being robbed so the government can do the 'charity' for them.

    Farage is a controversial person and not to be used as example.

    Social programs work, but will cost. Living in a corporate free for all just leads to madness, but if you believe people are what they are and deserve nothing, then you will see the way you do, and not care. I hope you don't go hungry one day, and realise what is missing from the society you live in.

    Well, I can see the concept of working for a living is somewhat missing from your society.

    Wouldn't we all love to have everything just handed to us?

    That's called freeloading, and is not acceptable in our society.

    It is remarkable that is an actual quote from around 1850. The same exact horrible arguments against freedom are made all day, every day 170 years later.
