Im arguing its most moral because it leaves man free to pursue his own values and interests assuming he does not violate rights of others. Now im happy you brought up the last point because im not advocating for anarchy, in fact I despise anarchy. Government is a necessary good and its sole role is the protect the rights of its populus. That means police to protect from criminals, military from forein invaders, and courts to protect from fraudsters. And the standard for what is a right, is you dont have a right to somebody elses stuff, you have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Ye ive always found it odd people called sweeden socialist. When they regulate less than the u.s does and they protect inovation better, and in Swedish culture they don't seem to demonize businessmen like they do in the u.s. Now Sweden they did go through socialism in the 80s but they have reduced the size of government since. Now as for the socilzed medicine and stuff, for me its a moral issue. I just dont feel im entitled to other peoples stuff. I have no right to use goverment(which is force) to than coerse you to pay for my Medicare. You create your wealth you keep it. Now you can voluntarily give some of it away, you do as you choose fit.

I dont quite understand what your saying. In a free society you get paid according to how productive you are, if you feel your being underpaid you can find someone who properly values your production better.

Just wrote a long reply and backspaced and paged got earsed. So ill rewrite a shorter version. Democracy is a tricky word, if 60 percent of people vote to kill someone cause majority said so than this is clearly not democracy in the good sense, now if you vote in a goverment thats there to protect rights than thats good. We did not get this in egypt(they were better off under mubarak), and not all westerners are ignorant to this but current u.s leadership is(one before was no better). They sold the brotherhood weapons and gave them billions. I think what needs to happen in the greater islamic world is a revolutionary like averroes needs to step up but its hard because political freedom is hard to come by in the middle east. So for me any intellectual revolution that would enlighten the masses in the islamic world would have to come from the u.s(most likely). People such have Dr. Zhuddi Jasser have stepped up to the plate. You would love his book http://www.amazon.com/Battle-Soul-Islam-American-Patriots/dp/145165796X he fights the fight you fight and makes the case that islam is compatible with western values and coexsistence.

You bring up a very good point about the brotherhood and other groups of similar nature. Alot of people seem to think correctly so that they seek to impose their view and kill if they must Christians, jews, etc but people seem to forget they also do this to other muslims who do not conform to their more radical khalifa views. This is a point we should not overlook. Which is why the west should morally support the liberals(in the good sense of the world liberal) in the mideast.

If you guys have 1 hour and half to kill I recommend you watch this video. It articulates my sentiments on inequality& equality. Equality before the law is the only equality worth fighting for and inequality rather a virtue than a vice; because in free systems wealth is created not a zero sum game so you are compensated based on what you deserve(this is inequality). Also equality of outcome is a very scary thought because only way to make people equal is by punishing virtue.

Firstly free market capitalism has never been practiced in full. The closet we have ever had(and it was very close) was the U.S.A from 1776 to 1913(after this you got stuff like incometax, regulations and fed reserve). So criticizing capitalism based on current situations of any countries is misguided. U.S.A right now spends 22 percent of its gdp at fed level and is varies but around another 20 at state level. That means 44ish % of GDP in u.s.a is spent by the govement(central planning). Sweeden is is at 48%.. So indeed we lived in MIXED economies not free market capitalism(not even close) and anytime we increase economic freedom prosperity always ensues. One more point capitalism is not just an economic system, but rather one of individual rights free of the coercive force of government. Its the most moral system because it allows the individual to pursue his desired values and interests without other people telling him or voting on what he can and can not due assuming what he does does not violate individual rights of others.

Lies, pornhub going to go bankrupt because of him. Just watch kroos play and it tingles every sensation in the body, hes unreal.
-
not in a million years will bayren not give him a truck load of money to stay. Hes the best midfielder in the world, hands down.
-
lets judge him when he plays when the entire team is playing good and starts in his regular position. I like his pace and his ability to attack space but I have doubts about his technical ability and decision making in the final 3rd(but this can improve especialy playing with elite players). If hes good enough great; if not, hes 21 and we would get money back in resale and have back up options like traore,moses etc..

today id give him a 2/10 at best; huge disappointment. This is unacceptable for brazil's #10 for christ sake. It's time he learns english and gets more efficient in final 3rd.
-
ffs, can schurrle get a game, he could of offered more than everyone on the pitch today. and for the love of god let this be rameries last season with us(hes not good enough to go to the next level, his lack of techincal ability costs us so much). Van ginkels injury rreally has f'ed us this season.
-
I knew when he left; it was a very good price we got but I had a feeling he would be needed for games and moments like this.
-
Ive never seen him but can you gauge yet if he has a realistic chance of ever challenging for #1 striker on chelsea?
-
really hope we lose this game; when we win I get to excited to study and fall behind.

lock this thread; I had asked Duncan castles(who is supremely well connected to mourihno's posse) in the summer when suarez had that 40 mil clause why mourihno didnt just go in 4 him; he dm'ed back saying mourihno dosen't rate suarez for the system he is trying to build. This is not happening.

just imagine next season we might go from a matic-lampard double pivot to a matic-kroos pivot; now that would be something!
