99. You are basing your idea here on rationality? (response to 33)
Edited on Sat Apr-14-07 10:56 PM by NormanYorkstein
I notice you like to talk about the irrational "rational" and the "ratonal" for legalizing prostitution, but your position seems based more on your "first principle" of "the government can't tell someone what to do with their body so prostitution should be legal".

That's an axiom of libertarianism, and it's not based on rationality. So maybe all the stuff about "rational" this or that is really just another way of implying everyone who disagrees with you is "irrational"?

How is your Libertarian First Principle "rational"?

Maybe just stick to calling people "idiots" instead? Easier to spell.
