miko: My only problem (with government projects) is the general oppositions to all projects built or funded through slave labor.
Dago: I guess you are in support of projects built or funded by slave labor. Must be a Ukraine thing.
I said that I have a problem with projects that are based on slave labor no matter how worthy they seem. How do you read it as an endorcement of a slave labor?
I feel you are wrong accross the board here. I have come to my own conclusion that Miko is not originating most of the "concerns" he expresses here,
Of course not. I came to this country pretty ignorant about theory of liberty. In the Soviet Union I did not have unrestricted access to the books available in any US store - Founding Fathers, philisophers they learned from, Adam Smith, Mises, Friedman, etc.
He has failed to hold his own in many arguements,
A less arrogant person would say "he failed to persuade me" or "I do not agree with his position". But you think you know the universal truth.
if you read carefully he will post some wildly irrelevant nonsense in response to someone challenging him in a way to obscure and confuse.
It sounds almost like an admission of your own stupidity.
As far as insults, he has many times insulted those who argued with him, and often employs his little game of "you dont understand, or you dont know anything about xxxxxx"
So? After I say that a person does not understand something, I go to a great length to elaborate my point so that a person understood it. That's what the discussion is about.
I may not be the best at explaining stuff, but disrespect to audience is expressed in ignoring someone's opinion, not opposing it and taking time to argue it.
in some perverted little manner to try and put himself in a superior position in an arguement.
Why would I argue my position if I did not believe it to be superior?
he rails against the USA and everything about it, and this feeds your anger and envy of the United States.
Not as much against USA but against government oppression in general.
I think he is easily lead by some Libertarian group, or some other group who choose to see conspiracy around every corner.
You are dumb. The libertarian views are not based on belief in conspiracies but on the knwolege of the laws of economics and social development and the consequences of ignoring them.
We are not saying "Bush is evil" or "Clinton is evil". We are saying "socialism is evil", "coercion is evil", "illegitimate government is evil".
