So an unregulated company controls the American military and in order to get any form of health care you must fight. Think about this statement and tell me you think that is the solution to our problems.

Welcome to WW3 sponsored by Verizon, give me a fucking break. This is not a functioning form of society, it's a science fiction novel. Please hop on board reality on this one.

Does military service also pay for your house, food, water, travel and health care for life? Once again, if you are disabled in this society you are fucked.

And we do pay for the roads, its called taxes to the federal government to an enormous tune.. Come drive the 405 here in CA and see how well thats working out..

And actually yes, military service does pay for all those things both during and after service in the event you are disabled.. If i was not disabled they wouldn't be paying me. I contracted with them and that was the deal. If they didn't pay for you if you got hurt people wouldn't join or contract with them. Its a pretty simple idea man, i dont get whats hard to understand here..

And the constitution allows for a federal government that has a standing army so...? Last i checked libertarians still believe in the constitution sooo? No verizon private military... Talk about getting back to reality man. You drinking? I am but not whatever you are doing..

Similar shit is going on up in Canada. A lot of the vets coming back from Afghanistan are mental cases and suicide rates are through the roof, mostly thanks to poor mental health care options. Soldiers are paid to die, be it on the battlefield or in the homeland.



Yeah thats not how it works here. Everything is free. If i had been properly medically retired i could go to any doctor i want for life on the governments dime. It all depends on how you exited the military and how a board reviewed your case.. This is a bad explanation but all ive got for you right now.

Yes, under the current system you get health care for life, that is proving my point why people should pay taxes. The example I used was under the context of corporate run military.

Pay to play=Pay your taxes. You know what I meant, don't be dim.

I actually refuse to debate the concept of a corporate run military. This is beyond the frame of reality and hinders actual ideas that work in the real world.

Private roads, interesting concept excpet:

-What company obtains ownership of the current road network?
-Who decides the fees?
-If a private road goes out of business who cleans up the abandoned road?
-Who pays for public transportation?
-Do Schools pay the fees?
-Can trucking companies even afford the tolls?
-Would private companies block routes of competing companies?
-Are the sidewalks private?
-Will I have to pay a fee to walk on them?
-Can a private road discriminate against me and block service?
-Do private roads also have private cops to enforce speed laws?
-Are there even any speed laws?
-Can a company buy any piece of land and build a road?
-What prevents a company from building a freeway over my house?

If you feel in your mind that private roads are the answer then you should be able to easily answer all of those questions for me.

The United States is a corporate entity, i worked for a corporation. Idk what you are talking about. So we dont have a private company regulating our currency and printing it? Thats protected by tax payer dollars and not open to the public? Jesus Christ man. Where the fuck have you been? Go ahead and dispute that the USA is a corporation.. Cool.. Great.. Already know your play book man.. Then tell me why the fed is privatized? Explain that?

You bring up private roads as an example to back up your theories but a couple of simple questions from me and you pivot to the Federal Reserve. If you are passionate about an idea you should be able to argue its merits, not divert.

The Fed consists of both Government appointed nominees, private banks and contracted advisers. If your question is "Why is it privatized?" I would say it's not. You have control who fills these seats when you vote.

A corporate entity is beholden to share holders not the American people so your logic fails.

Back to the private roads, do you care to answer those questions for me? I know Libertarians hate questions but no one will support your ideas if you can't answer the basics.

You know what pisses me off about you Rok, is that when i want to discredit something i use the exact same tactics. Let's be gentlemen and have a square battle with spectators within a voice chat arena.

I will however fulfill your hilarious assertion that "voting" even matters at this point in american political discourse.. See most executive fiat. And do your fucking research on the banking system within the US and its history. What the fuck?

Share holders as you so gleefully demonize them are american people.. Not some boogy man..

Id also just like to note that your ideas are in line with the mainstream so you actually need to defend where we have been headed before i need to defend my ideas that
might have saved us..

What ideas of mine would you like me to defend? You have to be a little more specific.

Demonized shareholders? Really man, twisting words like a scorned woman is not a good look.
