That is true but the minds of children are more easily bent to the will of the controllers. The media is continually brainwashing people. Every minute of every day we are told what some or other authority figure thinks we should do.
But if they genuinely believe their feelings are worth more than their beliefs will they feel their beliefs are worth as much as a lesser emotion? Especially if that emotion was at a time when they believed they were not feeling things as deeply or with as much value. You see, the value of the emotion they are feeling and the feelings of worth for that feeling of emotion may be sujective to the point that the worth, or indeed the repective worth of that feeling or any other feeling for that matter will be severely difficult to pin down.
Now, which of you big strong men would like to talk about your emotions?
Supermarkets run themselves. A complex operation from factory and farm to the shelf, to the consumer with no government involvement. Look at eBay or Amazon. People trade freely without government.
I don't have all the answers to the many issues you raised but here are some thoughts on each of them.
Irish MEN went to fight for the British because they were brainwashed by Statist education.
Without a State the police force would no longer prosecute victimeless crimes. They would provide security at the command of the community, not the politicians. They would not find violence cheap (without consequence) so they would act much differently than they do today. Armed communities and their militias (no need for a military) would organise their own defence or pay others to do it professionally. Their choice depending on the need. West Cork and West Dublin would have different needs.
The drug/criminal gangs exist because of the State prohibition on drugs. Decriminalise drugs and treat addicts as a health issue, not a criminal issue and the 'problem' will disappear.
The courts would remain in place. They are common law, not State law, but would not spend as much time locking up people for cannabis plants, importing garlic and all the other silly stuff they waste our money on today. There would be no need to threaten people with prison for not obeying the State because there would be no State. We would only inforce laws for breach of contract or where aggression and theft was involved.
Who overlooks the Banking system? You're joking? God forbid we would have a financial collapse or anything, without a State..... ha ha ha
The banks will be redundant quite soon anyway. Bitcoin and other cyber currencies don't require banks or regulation. You can send a million euro across the world in seconds for a couple of cent. No need for banks of credit cards or any of those expensive 'financial products'. You can buy and sell anything in cyber currencies, using your phone or ready-to-go card. This is the future and we can't go on living in the past with a medieval banking system
If someone wants to deal with a bank that will between them and the bank. If the bank is dodgy people will stop trading with it. There won't be a 'government' to run in and give it billions of our money I'm afraid. It will just go out of business. How sad that would be?
Hospitals, schools, roads and other services can be funded by those who use them or by other means. A few cent on every litre of fuel perhaps? Without the State a litre of fuel will be less than half price, so I think 10 cent on every litre to cover hospitals, roads, schools, insurance and road tax would be acceptable.
We don't have to be spiritual run a society. It's common sense, not mysticism. In todays world Statism is becoming obsolete. It's the really backward people who think we need 'leaders' to run our lives.
Look at the internet. Who governs it? I'm sure if you had been brought up with a Minister for the Internet and an Office of Internet Regulation you would be studying hard for your internet licence and saving up for the licence fee so you could browse the State approved sites at certain times. You would probably ask me, "but who will run the internet if we have no State"
Quite simply there were none available to me at that time. When I got to a place where I could buy patches/gum some weeks later I felt the worst was over and I might as well battle on cold turkey. Not so much brave and short on options.
The State education system - Sit down, be quiet, where's your homework, be a good girl, don't cause trouble, don't be a tattle-tale, sit up straight, do what your told, know your place, respect your betters.....
The whole thing is getting your brainwashed into accepting there are those in authority and those who obey without whimper. They know best. They can take care of everyone. You just need to shut up and do what your told. Repeat what they say and you get rewarded with approval, don't and you get humiliated.
We don't need a different government to 'take care of the old and the vulnerable'. We need NO government. It's a pity people are so brainwashed into thinking that voting a different bunch of liars into power will make any difference.
He did answer. Smoking is seriously damaging to your lungs because of the hot tar and assorted chemicals. Replacement delivery systems bypass the lungs. Yes, the addiction is still there but not the health risks. Well.... it might be a little early to say e-cigarettes are totally risk free.
I never tried any of the nicotine replacements. I just gave up one day and never smoked again. It was bloody tough though, especially for the first few months.
I fear it is you who is confused. I in fact made a clear distinction between smoking and vaporizing which you will realise if you take a few deep breaths and read what I wrote again.
I never said they did. Again, take some deep breaths and read what I wrote.
You might want to check your calibration of feeling good because your perception is 180 degrees off. At least you didn't manage to twist what I wrote into 'proof' of 'misogyny'. That's a first on here
There is no need for special education for any gender. Initiating aggression against anybody is wrong. Most people accept that concept and will respect it. Unfortunately the issue at the moment is the public perception that domestic violence is predominantly perpetrated by men on women. This has been carefully fostered by the very lucrative domestic violence industry and other interests who would diminish the humanity of men and boys. Correcting this misperception is the first and last step.
A protest vote is still a vote and for every 20,000 votes or so, depending on the constituency, a politician gets his or her wings. I think the people who vote should bring the money to pay their share of the politicians wages and pension with them when they go to vote. Don't forget the advisers and staff you are voting to employ too. It would only probably work out at 40 or 50 thousand euro and I'm sure you could pay in installments. But no, I guess the rest of us have to pay for the stupidity of the people who keep the political merry go round spinning
On the contrary, I said some people with mental illness are smoking as a means of self-medication. I don't make that claim, it is made by mental health professionals.
You're still on level one thinking. No matter who you vote for the government always wins. The only way for us to win is not to play. Tweedle Dum or Tweedle Dee, it makes no difference.
