oh, but i could not deal with anyone who only like mainstream manufactured bullshit top 40 music. i don't really associate with people like that anyway, though, and it's highly unlikely anyone who liked that music would have a personality i'd find attractive (i like strange people).

it depends how different the taste is. i don't think i would want to be with someone who had the EXACT SAME musical taste as me because, well, how boring. i don't want to date myself with a dick. but then you also don't want to be total opposites and unable to stand each others' music. for...

check your phone also, don't get chicken and get a red onion instead

omg musical compatibility is VERY LOW :( how are we going to decide on a wedding song when we get married????????????

waxing all your pubes off is stupid, you'll just get tonnes of ingrowns. yuck. if you're going to get rid of it just shave and exfoliate and it will be much more pleasant. personally, i just do whatever i feel like at the time. i'm not very hairy anyway, so it's not a massive issue either...

I like your taste :)

But that's the thing, you are basing this on the assumption that the majority of people don't want someone to lead them and won't fall into line if a powerful group takes control. This is purely hypothetical and you must consider human nature and human psychology before making these assumptions...

People who believe in the complete abolishment of government, can you please help me understand this: Surely we can mostly agree that what makes a government "evil" is the people representing it. Yes, you can say "government is inherently evil" but, theoretically, anything can work perfectly if...

I'm into rock, new wave, alternative, indie and 80s, including: PJ Harvey, The B-52's, X-Ray Spex, The Kills, Liz Phair, The Beatles, Joy Division, David Bowie, Sonic Youth, Kate Bush, Fugazi, Elastica, The White Stripes, Fiona Apple, Bauhaus, Pixies, Juliana Hatfield, Jane's Addiction, Eagles...

I am indeed!

One thing a lot of your AC ideas seems to forget about is human psychology. It's highly unlikely that people are going to start writing and signing contracts every time they sleep with someone in case it results in a baby. Lust is very strong and overrides sensible thinking a lot of the time.

um, then there will just be a massive increase in crime as people who can't/won't work will find other ways to subsidise their lifestyle.

You can't just abolish welfare in one sweep, that is an absolutely ridiculous idea. Obviously if you support the eventual abolishment of the welfare state you also have to come up with realistic and achievable ways to phase it out, otherwise you're just whining about something that you know...

I actually don't like labelling myself as anything, because I feel it's lazy and makes me feel like a lemming. I'm just saying that there are a lot of awfully irritating people who call themselves "libertarians" who fight for "freedom" (mostly in America)

Re: controlling how people spend their welfare, is that not out of line with your views on freedom (what if people don't care about nutrition and want to just take drugs?) Also, which types of payments exactly would you apply that to? Surely something like a disability support pension should...

If the majority of Libertarians weren't so fucking nauseating and lacking in considered judgement, I would probably call myself one. That is what holds the movement back: that there are so many aspie right-wing young lib "libertarians" who only care about making sure their daddies don't have...

Child support is worked out on a case-by-case basis, and I am sure the courts take into account things like (if there was a divorce settlement) how the assets were split, how the custody is split, basic living costs VS luxuries, etc etc. A few examples of people getting away with not...

I know, I just wanted to specify that I don't think that at all.

You know perfectly well that that is a total catch-22.

That's not at all what I think. Just as I think their should be equal paid parental leave for mothers and fathers (whichever one decides to take time off to care for their newborn), child support should be equally considered whether the mother or father has been awarded custody.
