Thanks for being willing to do it - it'll make your posts much easier to read, as well as easier to quote. As is, we have to go in and copy-paste the parts we want to respond to. The quote software on this site doesn't quote quotes (if you can follow that).
Anyway, here's how I do it (in spoilers to avoid cluttering the thread for those who already know: Hope this helps. |

So over at the DI forum I wanted to make another attempt at actually engaging Freemen. I made a detailed post outlining why the existence of Freemen would cause major public policy failures. Its all basic political science stuff to most JREFers - things like failure to allocate public goods and creating tragedies of the commons.
http://www.davidicke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103235 What happens? You guessed it. Pages of personal insults, off topic rants, and Rob Menard propagandizing about the evils of society...none of which have absolutely anything to do with the original post. It really just goes to show that no matter how much of an honest attempt you make to discuss things with the brainwashed, it just isn't going to work. You also have Arthur Asky, who is yozhik over there, googling logical fallacies. His new method of attack on the DI forum when hes confronted with evidence he can't refute is pulling up logical fallacies and calling everything you type a fallacy based on what sounds good, even when they have NO actual relationship to what was said. |

For someone obsessed with common law and the alleged superiority of ancient justice, you don't know much.

I don't need the words of Samuel Johnson or whoever to tell me what's right or wrong. I will not cause harm or loss to anyone. Statute from the bog standard, non law dictionary.com is as follows:
1. LawHow can it be as it contradicts itself below. See HERE.. a. an enactment made by a legislature and expressed in a formal document. b. the document in which such an enactment is expressed. 2. International Law. an instrument annexed or subsidiary to an international HEREagreement Hang on did you use the word agreement, Mr.com? Where is the agreement? If I don't agree then I am not boundas a treaty. 3. a permanent rule Ahhh! There we are, it's just a rule. Thank goodness it's not a law.established by an organization, corporation, etc., to govern its internal affairs. The law dictionaries can just as easliy be rubbished! See Blacks and it talks about the link between Statute and Person. Person=corporation. Me=human being, a man, not a corporate entity! If you want to be carry on! |

I see. So basically, your problem with the current system is that you aren't in charge. Given your way, you'd set up a system functionally identical to the one currently in place, but with a few tweaks here and there. We'd all still be bound to the law, but only the laws you like.
I get it. |

Would it be rude to ask arthur asky's age and occupation? I'm just curious how things are going in the real world.

What you don't comprehend is the word, society!
The Statutes in place now are ones which some people agree with and others don't. In a new society like the ones some freemen are trying to create will be common law at the core. Surrounding it will be agreements one of thses is that officers of the peace will keep the peace. If you don't agree then you can leave. Currently you are told you cannot leave and are still subject to authority that you did not consent to or want anymore. Now, if you are subject then you are A subject. I am no-ones subject. Only answerable to my creator or the cosmic accident that made me so long as I do not cause harm or loss. I am not the subject of another human being, as equality is paramount in law! |

Why did you look up "law" instead of "right"? Are you getting ahead of yourself a bit?
The only relevant part of your response is "I don't need the words of Samuel Johnson or whoever to tell me what's right or wrong.". That is indeed one meaning of the word "right". But it is a little vague. If you are talking about your personal conception of morality then it doesn't matter: since that is internal. But as we normally use the word in this sense there is an implication of some level of action or of refraining from action. Since you have already referred to some bad consequences which have arisen from what you object to (genocide and that sort of thing) it seems that your personal morality is just like everybody else's: that is, it is prescriptive. I am aware that is an unpopular view with many who are apt to argue that morals are subjective/relative: but that is for another thread. Suffice to say that wherever you stand on that you have judged some actions by other people to be wrong: and so your judgement is not for yourself alone (though your action may be) But in other posts in this thread (and indeed in this one) you talk about "your rights". What rights would those be? They are clearly not defined by distinguishing them from "wrongs" because "my wrongs" only makes sense in english in the context of a Victoria bodice ripper. What you seem to mean is the kind of right which is enshrined in the US Bill of Rights. Such rights are in fact the obverse of duties. You cannot actually have such a right unless other people have a duty to uphold it. It simply does not exist without that. To get around that you have also traded on the ambiguity of "might is right" but I am not going there because you need to tease out what your argument actually is on this front first. Can you now please say what you actually mean? |

Yozhik, what have you said here that has not been debunked by numerous people? JREF members have been doing a fine job debunking you, but I'll join in if I catch something not covered else where. I will begin citing logical fallacies that you use in every post so you can see the difference between real fallacies and you googling the subject and copying and pasting it to try to refute evidence that has debunked you.

Late teens or early twenties, and either lives with parents or is on public welfare. He spends ALL DAY on here and the David Icke sites, he can't possibly have a job...any job good enough to require use of a computer all day wouldn't let you get away with posting that much.

It's more than that. FMOTL redefine the Common Law, every time they need to defend a point, and do not even realise or understand that Common Law was (and actually still is) continually upheld or redefined every time some form of Statute Law does not cover particular circumstances.
They have absolutely no idea what Common Law actually is, or what it means in the context of Judicial history, and simply make stuff up when it suits them. And then they turn around and start quoting Statute Law when the need to. Sorry for the shouting - AND THEY STILL LOSE EVERY SINGLE TIME. I think it comes down to one very simple thing, and if Arthur Asky can cite one simple example of where a member of the FMOTL movement has won ONE case in court based on FMOTL principles and the law they "believe in", the topic deserves further examination. (BTW Arthur, is this your real name or your strawman name, and please explain the difference.) If not, it is all bluster and wind. The ball is in your court Arthur. One example of a FMOTL'er winning a Court Case. Because anything else you say is simply the stuff I use to make my roses grow. Norm |
