women voting, black rights, ending child labor, etc
Equal rights is good progress. But big government control is the opposite of progress. Most "progressives" I know are for government control (or the economy, people's lives, etc). Government control 1) does not work 2) is violent and immoral.
oh, no, i'm not trying to say anything like that, but just in general the south has been pretty unwilling to move forward with the rest of us
What is moving forward exactly though?

I live in the north east. We have "moved forward" right off a cliff. High taxation and big spending hurts the economy. I don't consider Obama's health care to be progress at all. For one, it will not work and we cannot afford it. Secondly, I believe forcing people to buy a good is immoral.
dubble toast

no, the health care bill isn't exactly the best thing since sliced bread and it's certainly not the time for it, and the opposition to it is warranted. i'm not just talking about the health care bill, though. :p

so you're against car insurance, too?

Blech I honestly hate present age.

Yes, the olden times, when women were chattel and people died in their 30s. Back to traditionalist values such as faith, superstition, and oppression. Sounds tight.
You people don't get my definition of the golden ages.

Probably an age that never existed.

Do you mean like... the 1950s?

No, I don't want to die young in a war. Is there a problem with that?
War is the most illogical idea ever. "If I kill millions of people, maybe I can have some oil"
well it is your duty to your county you shelfish little brat, and yea war for oil is stupid...we have the biggest supply in the world and have only tapped into like maybe a quarter of it...green energy waht a joke ad long as i have oil through my life im fine with it besides we have enough oil to last thousands more years, but we really should just wipe that 3rd world out of existance..except isereal even though obama completly offened them, but they are the only ones that dont hate us

The first one, saying anarchy is complete disorder is what the people who don't know what they are talking about say, like the media.
I don't agree with anarchy, but I consider myself to be a voluntaryist, as do many anarcho-capitalists. You should read books by Murray Rothbard if you are interested in this. Or maybe you already know who he is...
I don't.

And have you seen Capitalism: A Love Story? If not, I suggest you do, some of it is sickening about what happens in this country.
No, that is the bad kind of anarchism. Capitalism is freedom. Individuals freely trade without a third party (government) using violence and stealing a portion of the exchanged goods/money. Anarcho-capitalism is where there is no government sealing from people. Corporatism is NOT capitalism. Michael Moore made this big mistake... actually he admitted to this mistake after the movie came out. Corporatism is what we have today, not capitalism. (Corporatism is called Fascism by some)

edit: So yeah, unless you dislike reading, you might want to check out Murray Rothbard.

The age of my father and mother, yes.

But I don't know too much about it.

I suck at history :V

I wouldn't necessarily say that. Every state has its reluctant point. We're not the only state that's fighting against some of this stuff too. You're just singling out Texas because I mentioned it.
i'm not singling out texas or florida

once again, reading comprehension, k n thx
Okay, the south. So you're generalizing then.
pretty much, yeah.

Can you insult someone without sounding ignorant, please?
 
Jeremy said:
Sheldon, don't insult others. And no one has a duty to their government.
I think it's wrong to put your moderation statement "Sheldon, don't insult others." next to "And no one has a duty to their government.", which is a point up for debate. Just saying, it's inappropriate.
 
Sheldon, if you're going to try to pose a liable argument, do it without insulting others and make it sound intelligent by using correct grammar and spelling, otherwise it makes you look like a drunk fool.

Oh dear lord, so many thing wrong I don't even know where to begin,
1. Green energy isn't a joke. You sound selfish if you want to leave our planet in a load of crap for the future generation, and besides that, we don't have enough fuel for thousands of years. Experts say we have 50, at most.
2. Learn about something outside your *censored.3.0*ing borders for once. Don't believe the *censored.2.0* Fox tells you. Does the mid east dislike us? Yes, and rightfully so. Does that mean they hate all Americans? Hell no. My family in Iraq wants me to visit there, and my American citizen dad visits often. People like Americans, but not the corrupt Bush presidency.
3. Israel, lol. Wut a joke. HAY GUIZZ LETS ALL SUPPORTT TEESE PEEPUL UNCONDITIONALLY CUZ THERE GOOD AND STUFFS.

And seriously, what were you going on before with Montana? 0__0

They were getting money for people's deaths, and capitalism could work, just greedy people ruined it.
