“Mr. Holbo’s answer is that I am an evil idiot who hates poor people, doesn’t understand how markets and governments really work, and is philosophically incoherent.” Only that last one, if you please.
I'd go with the whole ball of wax, there, meself. ~
Is this the thread that LGM described as "like watching a puppy being hit by a truck"? I refuse to check. Mr Substance speaks of very funny libertarian, but not everyone shares his values of "funny".
Libertarians may have issues, but they're nothin' compared to Holblo issues (holy bloviation batman!). Holblo at times engages in his liberal schtick, probably in hopes of appeasing the CT comrades, but at heart-- or, gut-- he's as much a frat boy libertarian as Jensen--and Jensen however crass he may seem to the CTsters, actually has a point re the lack of any justification for rights, apart from self-interest. Fairly standard Hobbesian view (has Holblo read Hobbes-blo? un f-n likely). You could try to persuade people health care is a right, life liberty, etc, (and I don't completely disagree) but providing some necessary argument for it is another matter.
. . Note that Holblo really never addresses any specifics of US health care, private vs public, medicare corruption, competition, costs, etc. It's mainly an exercise in his cheesy informal logic. slippery slope! Dee-eep. Even the KOS sluts sling the health-care hype a bit more effectively than Gord-blo here.
Holblo's the chief wheezebag of cyber-philosophasters--then CT sort of Wheezebag Central, one reason SubbyMc hangs there, presumably.
There once was a frat boy named Hol-blow A Libertarian Wheezebag don't you know Though he came from Connecticut He fumbled the etiquette So instead of Poi he ate crow-blow
yr the rim dude Subby McG. Sort of kiwi WASP specialty.
jensen said he has no obligations to pay for health care (or, really, to help starving poor folks on the street). a bit deep, but then logic's not yr strong suit. spam is, s-mc. There are other issues, but in terms of funding public h-c, jensen has a point. Not my problem---we might contract something, or not, say in a hypothetical Rawlsville--- but let em fend for themselves.
Anyway, instead of yr usual NAMBLA spam, let's here your argument WHY we must support a public option (and the taxes to pay for it).
that's what I said--no obligations, merely self-interest based. The CT gals probably all have some comfy academic plans anyway, and would unlikely exchange that for Medicare. Like most lib-rawls the CTsters just want to stick it to some whiteys out in the heartland-- make them line up with some obese welfare mamacitas and junkies or something at the clinics.
Anyway, given yr own secularist, Darwinist assumptions, who cares? You're PC nannycrats arguing for h-c one day, and Canberra leather-men the next. I think you just want the state run death panels
Gorillas in our midst With each eye fixation, we experience a richly detailed visual world unless you've opted for the government issue eyes which just show black and white bars representing shapes.
No, you misread it. Jensen avoided the little PC normativity game and pathos, and that freaked out the CT nannycrats, including Subby McG. No one really countered his point. No obligations means no obligations.
Anyway like you, Holblo doesn't really argue anything either, just blathers on sentimentally. What's more the h-c hypemeisters generally forget that medicare, or any public option will be a windfall for corporate America. They will save millions by not having to cover their employees' premiums. The naive quasi-socialists have yet to grasp that. Even some conservative business types want the govt. to cover for it (and the taxpayers).
In fact, you did. Jensen merely brings up standard issue ethical-subjectivism points--like, no obligations--and the CT nannycrats couldn't handle it (even though they don't believe in ethical objectivity anyway). Lemmings
Maybe you can get a pic of jensen, and make him into a pinada or-- the tutu and jackboots! Take that, nazi-libertarian
I'm just saying that plan 9 is from outer space and is probably connected with space apes. My Gramma had a nanny cat and a very nice old thing it was, unless one was a mouse of course.
You saw a reference to Hobbes and thought I was arguing for a right? Nyet. Hobbes doesn't argue for rights. He argues for people agreeing to certain contracts (even health, of some sort) merely from the POV of self-interest, as Jensen suggested (saying it's not in his interests). So, you were wrong.
That's right, mikey. The corps and execs should pay, given that the system's not set up for some utopian public h-c option.

I thought none of that. So I gather you are wrong.
What do you think Jensen was sayng? You don't even know what libertarianism is, SubbyMcJensen,or you would realize you fall in that political class as well.
Wikipedia informs me that "Jansenism's supporters suffered a decisive defeat when Innocent X issued the bull Cum occasione" So I don't blame SMcG for preferring to remain in the closet. The rest of the Wiki article goes into too much detail about the Semipelagian heresy for my tastes, broad-minded though I am.
You are thinking of the Australian national anthem:
Restraining order, restraining order He took out a restraining order on me And she sat as she stood there, waiting while the bunny boiled He took out a restraining order on me.
Good heavens, we can talk about mental health problems here. In a laughy, pointy, schoolboy sort of way. Pfnar pfnar is the accepted term of reference.

ReplyDeleteNo, this one's backing up and reversing to make sure the job's done.

ReplyDeleteIn fact that is not Jensen's position at all.
Enjoy your rimming!

ReplyDeleteNo one will address the 500 pound gorilla in the room, er on the moon.

ReplyDeleteSure. But that's not what you said.

ReplyDeleteBecause it works better.
And because that's what we voted for.

ReplyDeleteNah.
Technical question: why do you insist on 9 rather than J?
Which state is PC? Pout Carolina?
ReplyDeleteIn fact, you did. Jensen merely brings up standard issue ethical-subjectivism points--like, no obligations--and the CT nannycrats couldn't handle it (even though they don't believe in ethical objectivity anyway). Lemmings
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can get a pic of jensen, and make him into a pinada or-- the tutu and jackboots! Take that, nazi-libertarian

ReplyDeleteNope.
Hey, hang on. I'm with Plan 9.
ReplyDeleteDigits vs. Letters.
The digits are outnumbered of course.
I'm just saying that plan 9 is from outer space and is probably connected with space apes.
ReplyDeleteMy Gramma had a nanny cat and a very nice old thing it was, unless one was a mouse of course.

that's Nine, as in like
ReplyDeletegat-size (tho' don't get any ideas Subby McDungeon slave).
Again, though, why a word-for-word repost as 9 after the same thing from J?
ReplyDeleteI figured it was "nein" but oh well.
ReplyDeleteNo, you're wrong.
ReplyDeleteYou either claim Jensen's correct (there are no health care rights), or he ain't, and there are such rights. Or you just chant.
You're a closet-Jensen, S-McG
Not sure: J must be a copycat of some sort. He recognizes excellence when he sees it at least, unlike you, Subby McJensen.
ReplyDeleteYou either claim Jensen's correct (there are no health care rights), or he ain't, and there are such rights.
ReplyDeleteGood god you're the king of the misread.
You misread it.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think Jensen was sayng? You don't even know what libertarianism is, SubbyMcJensen,or you would realize you fall in that political class as well.
First, point me to what I have claimed about Albert Jensen.
ReplyDelete...is this where I come to talk about mental health problems?
ReplyDelete[verification word: "gilti" - now I am worried!]
...is this where I come to talk about mental health problems?
ReplyDeleteOh man. Some sort of acronym or emoticon is appropriate here.
YEAH, WELL I DON'T THINK HE'S ALL THAT FUNNY.
ReplyDeleteYou're a closet-Jensen, S-McG
ReplyDeleteWikipedia informs me that
"Jansenism's supporters suffered a decisive defeat when Innocent X issued the bull Cum occasione"
So I don't blame SMcG for preferring to remain in the closet.
The rest of the Wiki article goes into too much detail about the Semipelagian heresy for my tastes, broad-minded though I am.
Hmmm...might be wiser to believe in a right than not...kind of a gamble though...
ReplyDelete..yeah, well, I've issued some bull myself - "cum occasione" - as it were. And I don't need to hear about your testes.
ReplyDeletesurreptiously stalking
ReplyDeleteon tippy-toes, likely
Well, now ... that's awkward. What about my property rights to humor? (Earned through my own carefully, and conservatively, applied wit).
ReplyDeleteSorry about that.
ReplyDeletethat's, surreptitiously.
ReplyDeleteAS in surreptitiously destroying your network...
Hey it's all good. McSubby's just engaging in his conservative-fetish . He can't be a Jensen, but can sort of play-act one online
I just get the feeling that 9 exists for legal reasons.
ReplyDeleteNo DNR order?
ReplyDeleteDon't forget the Albijensen Crusade, during which people would stand up and say, "I'll be Jensen," and then Innocent III would whack them down.
ReplyDeleteCaedite eos! Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius
ReplyDeleteJust sayin...
There is absolutely no need to drop trous
No DNR order?
ReplyDeleteYou are thinking of the Australian national anthem:
Restraining order, restraining order

Herr Dok, shouldn't there be something in there about Bill's Bong?
ReplyDeleteyou try stuffing a jumbuck in your tuckerbag... (it's why they do it out back)
ReplyDeleteI would warn against the Greater Jumbuk. The Lesser Spotted Jumbuk can usually be put into a tuckerbag with some effort and Di-ethyl ether.
ReplyDeleteMe?
ReplyDeleteI like me some righteous quandong.
I like to pick it out of Emu droppings.
Of course, I don't have a job so I have more limited options...
...righteous quandong
ReplyDelete...washed down with kopi luwak coffee. [Speaking of picking.]
...a whole new field - coprocuisine
...washed down with kopi luwak coffee.
ReplyDeleteAnd not out?
...is this where I come to talk about mental health problems?
ReplyDeleteNo this is insults. Mental health is down the hall, just past arguments and blows to the head.
