Most people VOLUNTARILY help their family members because they have an EGOISTIC value for them - not in the purely materialist sense described in caricatures of egoism but in the spiritually egoistic sense. Love and friendship are egoistic feelings. <br />Altruists, on the other hand, advocate 1)helping those whom YOU DON"T VALUE highly enough to regard them as egoistic values 2)coercing people to help others by means of physical force and violence (taxation and other forms of government coercion).Reaganxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11767392975509574516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660901311853360160.post-7858872315236888042010-01-03T07:13:36.459-08:002010-01-03T07:13:36.459-08:00Well, I am not going to argue what you "shoul...Well, I am not going to argue what you "should" or "should not" do, but most people help their parents or other family members simply because of being born into the family; so what is your argument against this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660901311853360160.post-28096755033884161392010-01-02T15:28:14.694-08:002010-01-02T15:28:14.694-08:00So, "Anonymous," are you implying that a...So, "Anonymous," are you implying that a person owes his time and labor to others simply by virtue of being born on this planet with them?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4660901311853360160.post-20581213020073335082010-01-02T13:55:32.555-08:002010-01-02T13:55:32.555-08:00Perhaps you shouldn't talk to shitty scientist...Perhaps you shouldn't talk to shitty scientists.

Somehow it all fits together for her, and somehow for libertarians, their beliefs all fit together and prove how the world should be structured, but it seems to me more of a system built on faith as her beliefs are and not on facts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
