Because it shows they can think.

Well, to be fair, that's one thing I noticed about Pickle before. He's stubborn, doesn't stop asking questions until he's convinced.

All in all, not too bad, plus I learned a whole lot of interesting stuff from this thread as well.

well seeing as how I have the wrong values, It'd be dishonest to not respectfully admit that every post of mine in this thread is potentially wrong.

But hell, if I wanted to spend time on a forum where everyone's values were similar to my own I'd be over at the circle jerk that is Reason.com

I like it here better.  Better potential for learning new things.

Reason.com, you say?  I just sucked my pance up my arse in anticipation.

TGRR,

If Luna was a furry, she'd sex humans and scream "BEASTIALITY!" at the top of her lungs at inopportune times.

I like the Luna one. She is a good one.

Also, don't feel bad about having the wrong values.  Almost everyone does, because they believe the wrong things, and operate off of bad signal.

Those of us who have "Bob" are the fortunate few.  We practice omnifallibility...We assume that everything we know is at least half-horseshit (except Nigel, who has the annoying habit of being right all the fucking time), and we understand, you see, that people - including us - are going to fuck things up royally.  Difference is, the rest of the world digs their heels in, while we drop our pance and roll in our own mistakes.

Others argue.  We attempt to find good information.  

This is why Free Market retards, Libertarians, Democrats, Republicans, Anarchists, and most religions are so insanely fucked in the head.

well, they don't really have a forum like this place, so the potential for teh funnay is lower.  You'd probably do better here:

http://www.dancarlin.com/phpbb3/ though not distinctly libertarian

also this place: http://forum.nationstates.net/viewforum.php?f=20

has a pretty interesting if simple game where you make your own nation.  The forums are full of all sorts.

I'm not above having my mind changed.  In fact, I often look forward to it.  I do want as much information as possible about it before I'll consider it.  That might come across as stubborn, but it's really so that I can have it clear in my head and help me figure out why I thought about it differently before.

I do my best to ignore you fuckers who toss out "dumbass" "objectivist" ""go fuck yourself" and other insults. 

As it turns out, this place is pretty good anger management therapy.  The longer I'm here, the less I knee-jerk angry reply.
