No, I get what you meant. We've had this debate dozens of times. It's pointless retreading this ground. All you've ever done in these discussions is claim moral superiority as if nebulous aphorisms are more valid than utilitarianism.

You also have your invalid statistics, I'll grant you that.

Actually, he trounced you every time, because you never support your claims with evidence or reasoning.

[Al B. Sure!]

Get better, Slowwhand



I don't like picking with the walking wounded.

[Kidlicious]

Yes, land of the free. Not land of the freebies.

You can't even protest after curfew without getting pepper sprayed in the face. I don't mind you calling it utilitarianism, it is, but I take offense to you calling it freedom.

[giblets]

What exactly is the difference? How are other government services like protection from getting murdered not freebies?

Quite true. Why have police when people can protect themself with guns ? Oh, you can't afford to buy a heavier gun than the bad guys ? Too bad, that's not societys problem.

Some US counties are getting out of the policing biz for financial reasons. Why don't libertarians move there?

Oh, and get well soon. If you still have swelling in 3 or 4 days, kill someone rich, take their card and see a doctor. If you get caught, you will get free medical care for life! In America, Federal inmates deserve free medical care - regular tax payers do not- What a country!

[Dr Strangelove]

At least get some crutches and keep your weight off of it for about 4 or 5 days. Elevate it as often as possible, put cold pcks on it. If it doesn't improve ask yourself how much money you're going to lose if you don't get it taken care of.

Saving taxpayers money

[SlowwHand]

I'm keeping it elevated. I'm going to sleep with a pillow under it. I may start with trying a cane. No fluid collection, so that's good.

From that artice :

constitutional duties such as staffing the jail

If that is true, how can private jails be legal ?

[SlowwHand]

I don't think that's a constitutional duty.

[ZEE]

Nah Asher, the american system works just as intended - it culls out all the weak and poor people that doesn't deserve to live

and this one survived.

[BlackCat]

I don't think that's a constitutional duty.

Well, it's the Chief Deputy that make that claim - should I belive someone that must know something about the subject or you ?

This time I'm willing to believe sloww, 'cause he's wounded and not from Alabama.

Hey Sloww, do you think you could get the VA to believe that the injury took place at a Veterns' Day service? Maybe you'd qualify for care then...
