The debate over public healthcare is also relevant here. Once the state is designated as the provider of health services, it is inevitable that it will attempt to regulate goods that are potential health risks in order to keep costs down. This is exactly what we're seeing in Australia now, taxes...

Street meth? It's extremely potent, neurotoxic and addictive. I have to disagree.

cool story bro Okay, the kind of meth we see distributed criminally today. I stand corrected.

Not true. Method of administration represents only one of its dangers.

Meth is unique in a way, as it is a product of the criminal drug market and not a once legal substance that was later criminalised. Taking amphetamines, already a very potent stimulant, and strongly increasing both its bioavailability and concentration, caters specifically to a market in which...

Time for another drugs thread. The War on Drugs is beginning to be widely acknowledged as a failure, and globally changes in the way recreational drugs are approached by governments is changing. This has been occurring for a number of years in Western Europe (eg. Portugal, The Netherlands...

That's my point.

Re: OKay guys, Australia never 'avoiced' the recession, Rudd was not the hero Going to bother with an argument? The alternative is oppression through legitimised violence. Free market forces are universally superior to this.

That is a logical impossibility. A state defined by negative individual freedom would legislate against its own existence.

Re: Would you join a poltical party BAHAHAHAHAHAHA Yeah because the Libertarian influence on the Liberal party is like, masssivvve hey. The Liberal party are also mostly socialists. In addition, many are fundamentalist christians and hate black people. Chris Pyne is libertarian as fuck he...

Why? Do you want to make a bunch of equally pathetic friends?
