You say the function of government is not to exist. I'd call you a fool, but I don't want to compliment you

You call me 'fool' for seeing no good point to governance.

I call you 'cog' for lacking the capacity to self-govern (and self-defend).

*shrug*

As I said, calling you a fool would be a compliment. If you believe in anarchy, just say so, don't try to camouflage it with a bunch of other crap.

How you get 'anarchy' from 'I prefer civilization and proxy-hood to nation and government' is beyond me.

Perhaps you're illiterate (or just stupid).

Not my problem (either way).

Why do you bother with him, then?

Why do you care?

Because I love this website, as a place for a good talk about... guess... 'philosophy', but everyday i login all I see is idiotic responses to idiotic statements, and they nearly always include Boob and his one dimensional mind de-railing all the potentially good discussions that were common here before he showed up.

Fair enough.

I engaged Bob 'cause he took to being a jackass for no good reason up-thread.

I suppose I was givin' him a chance to 'breathe' and step back.

He didn't.

And so (at least for this thread) I've moved him from 'engage' to 'pffftt!'.

Anyway: I'm just waitin' for conceptualizer to pick up where he left off.

I wish all of you naysayers would just stay clear of me since you can't put together two consecutive sentences to advance an argument.

What are you talking about? The game of Ouzo, "The Ouzo Prophecy," the Church of Ouzo, the Ouzo Cross, and Ouzo combinations are certainly not one-dimensional. Right there you have five dimensions. And how about Evensonomics, the American Energy Party (AEP), and the Champagne Sherry Principle? The hits just keep on coming!

These are just jokes, Bob, without punchlines.

We're still waiting for the punchline ...

The punchline is that his aim is to re-rail all philosophical discussion on the website.

Boom Boom..

Please, Ouzo is the religious philosophy for the 21st century, and Evensonomics the political philosophy. Of course, if you want to move into the 22nd century, we could talk about the Solid State Convention, a religion for the space age. In that sense, I guess I am re-railing philosophical discussion from ancient old school to modern new school.

The Discordians and SubGenii do it better.

Nobody does it better,
Makes me feel sad for the rest.
Nobody does it half as good as I do,
Believe me, I'm the best.

And nobody does it better,
Though sometimes I wish someone could.
Nobody does it quite the way that I do,
That's why I'm so good.
