(...) Why not just abolish taxes for schools rather than having the half-way measure of vouchers? No question of the government subsidizing religion (and who has the biggest chain of private schools?

		Re: Handgun Death Rate
(...) You're right, I did miss most of the thread. A thousand pardons Sahib! But I did see that comment by Chris. I was reacting to the word carnage in my comments above.

		Re: New Stories from the New Testament
(...) Obviously the only valid Bible is in the original KJV. :) Okay, I know, only Christians got that joke. Anyway, on to the main topic of the debate here. Three things. 1.

		Re: Problems with Christianity

		Re: LP POINT 3
(...) Exactly. In theory, EVERYONE might decide "no Irish" and will only patronize No Irish establishments. To answer your question elsewhere, yes, schools could operate on a "no blacks" basis. I regard this as a much bigger point than the one that (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

		Re: LP POINT 3
(...) No, my understanding of Libertarian philosophy is that you can say, "Irish aren't allowed." Or blacks, or Jews, or fat people, or whatever. People are free to boycott companies/individuals that do this, of course. I'll snip the rest 'cause I (...) (24 years ago, 27-Nov-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

		Re: 'Lego Ban' at Seattle School Fueled by Anti-Private Property Crusaders

		Re: What are your axiomatic religious beliefs and why?
(...) Hmm, this is a really good question, Brendan. It's hard to answer this truthfully, because I was raised in a Christian setting. So there are many things I believe that probably at their root go back to what I learned in Sunday School as a (...) (18 years ago, 25-Oct-06, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

		Re: 2nd Joe Vig contest entry - How Joe learned to stop worrying and love the bomb
Hey all, I'm confused as to the "debate" here. This seems a perfect example of community.
