You are right, not a dichotomy. But main point stands - it is useless metric.

The more / less government is false dichotomy. That's why leftists make jokes about you, even smart-sounding libertarians like you always make these stupid black / white statements. Universal healthcare being one example (at

Can be applied to your posts as well. I liked the way conversation started, but this is pointless.

Because libertarians often misrepresent their intentions: I heard way too often from them how "government does everything inefficently" and "everything would be better off served by private for-profit entities" or even &

Recent price jumps tell a different story. Do you have any data to back it up?

Closer than Czech vs Slovak? I think around 90% of Czech people understand 99% of what Slovaks say ... It's difficult to measure in opposite direction as its customary to watch Cz TV channels for Slovaks (at least from what I've s

It makes things hard for actual users. Centralization can generate trust issues, but it is often damn effective, that's why it's used so much everywhere.

People engage with many more sites than just facebook.

It helps me organize events and keeping up with events of my friends. Or for just keeping up with friends I can't meet at the moment. It is useful tool. Sorry, I said it. I'm getting annoyed how people like you are always eager to

It's funny how people who complain about facebook the most are the ones who treat it super seriously. Or why do you allow such stupid feature as "news feed" to be the primary source of your news and then complain about its us

Yes, you are looking at it from multiple wrong angles. 1. Yes, it is. Government will not take the money (and I don't buy any "omg inflation" arguments, since last crisis has actually in effect reduced inflation everywhere) a

Are there really that many people capable and willing to work as CEO? From my experience there are never enough good managers.

Are you sure your wifi connection will not eat more power with huge upload than processor/gpu doing the scaling?

I think parent meant this: > calling Milton Friedman “on the Austrian side of economics.” Which is pretty laughably wrong for someone at least a bit educated in the area.

So what about those natural monopolies? Or you want competition between sewage providers? It seems like you are not accepting the simple observation that free market cannot be applied to everything. Nothing is universal magic bullet ...

> That is a fake choice since it is too difficult, requiring you to change your entire life. Yeah, the government and the entire social system can change much more easily!

Have you tried incognito mode? I also recall there was option to turn off customizing search results (or something similar) in google's privacy settings. EDIT: I did not notice any differences so I don't really know how to test it

It's funny how monetary base expansions are STILL used as arguments against fiat money. People like you were predicting doom because of it since 2010. Nothing happened. Except economies recovering, which was the design goal. The FED wi

Ok that's a good point. I guess I am too spoiled by modern mostly-making-sense laws and annoyed by the neverending "government is bad" rants. On the other hand, public supported all those "bad" laws at the time ...

This is weird point that gets repeated all the time - sure, Spanish politicians have lower risks, but their potential gains are also much lower - best one seems "more political power", which is awfully short term (and the loses w

I think it is reckless to change borders just because few people want to. This is not your standard political issue, it's freaking tearing the country apart.

Again - read the GP. 2014: 20% No, 40something turnout. Independence has good support, but it is huge decision. Considering the gravity of the issue that's weak.

Read the GP. What oppression was there in 2014?

Laws are usually there for a reason. You could apply your whole argument to public opinion and referendums - public will change mind a lot, why make such drastic moves based on it?

If you want to be independent you go and vote. If you do not care you stay home. Such low turnout seems like a win for "no" camp, because people of Catalonia apparently do not care about independence from Spain.
