pardon me, but you agreed that democracy was flawed and that's why you didn't support it. i asked you a couple of questions, namely, if there was something flawless in the universe (you said no) and i asked you what set government apart from other flawed things. but i did not take my reasoning any further, did i?. did i make a point you could reply to? no-- so you're replying to something that only happened in your mind. you were arguing with the mirror.

no, i didn't bypass it, i mentioned we'd pick it up later but let's stick to the basic now. to answer those points would have meant to side with the assumptions you had made about where i was going with this. which were totally wrong. you had no clue where i was going with my questions.

well, i think the long posts add more to the confusion because they answer the assumptions you're making about what i'm going to say rather than answer the simple questions i was asking

maybe you trying to stereotype or label me is something you didn't realize, did it unconciously.[/quote]
again, that's in your own head-- i wasn't thinking of your country. in fact, i was thinking about libertarians who believe that every government is essentially evil. so i was trying to ascertain if this was were you were coming from philosophically, and if not then i would pursue a different line of questions to clarify things.
maybe you're the one who unconsciously feels stereotyped?
as i said before, you're not arguing with me but with the projections of your own mind. i normally enjoy conversing with you, but please, this is past the point of absurd. you argue with things i
might say, practicing bad telepathy. it gets really annoying, and it's a waste of time to attempt dialogue with someone who ultimately is only talking to himself. please, i give up on this discussion, we've wasted enough time on this already. yes?
i'm cool with you as far as other subjects go, but please, this one must die.
