To define is to limit. This simple principle is true in almost all scenarios. A person is to complex to be accurately described with man-made language and to give definitions will only limit them in thier potential. There is, though, one term or adjective that will properly describe a person without limiting them: thier name. A name should be a thing, for the most part, unique, so as to incourage individuality, and so a name can be a true description and adjective to each person. The concept...

-In your debate "Should laws outlawing blasphemy be introduced across the United States?"
( http://www.debate.com/... ), you say thus:

"The only way to keep us from clubbing one another to death is by upholding morals that are beneficial to society as a whole...If you were to take away these laws which have become widely known as fact, We see our government would become somewhat resemblant of an *Anarchy*. While that might please certain members of the voting community, we see that the laws you surmise as "(having) no need for) then you are promoting a lawless society...Will you vote for the debator who sides with lawlessness and antiesteblishment? Or will you vote for the debator who is keeping firm the beliefs as well as the politics of blasphemy laws."

Well...I guess that will be about it. I am sorry if I have been harsh, but I am only hoping that I have hit hard enough to make an actual impact on my opponent. My hopes are that he shall concede. If, he does not, however (or finds some evasive semantics to wiggle his way out), This is a two round argument.

I have provided sufficient evidence to make it obvious to the reader of draxxt's hypocrisy in saying that he is an Anarchist.

PS. Please do not be insulted, this is all in the spirit of agressive debate

Draxxt, I tried to challenge you to a debate, only to learn that you cant have to debates with the same person. So rather than wait, I decided to post what I had written here in the comments forum.

The Topic was "you are not an anarchist"...

I intend no malice in this, I'll have you know, but, with a quick glance at your profile, I have determined that you are not truly an anarchist (as your profile claims). Truthfully, I am only trying to help you...to realize that you are not an anarchist.

I will make this brief.

Here are 3 definitions of anarchism:

"1. The theory or doctrine that all forms of government are oppressive and undesirable and should be abolished.
2. Active resistance and terrorism against the state, as used by some anarchists.
3. Rejection of all forms of coercive control and authority: "He was inclined to anarchism; he hated system and organization and uniformity" Bertrand Russell."

Any of these, or a combination of them, will work in my favor.

I will now make a list of why you are not an anarchist:

-The most obvious piece of evidence is that it says on your belief chart that you support the United States of America. This is pretty self explanatory, but here is some simple logic. Anarchy means no government. The United States...is a government.

-You are in favor of the death penalty. To punish (and kill) people as punishment for breaking a law would imply a government with laws...and enforcement of said laws.

-You are also in favor of flat tax. This also implies a government. There has to be a government to collect these said taxes. That is the point of taxes.

-You are also in favor of social programs. You need a government to supply these programs.

-You also support the war on terror. An anarchist would by default be opposed to the wars caused by confliction of different countries.

Renzzy,

Take no offense, and I don't mean to be nosy or anything, but I was surprised after reading your comment to see, on your profile...that your apparently very republican.

I really don't want to ruin the onion for you...I agre that it's hillarious, and I'm certainly not telling you you can't read and enjoy it, but the onion has a strong liberal bias in it's humor. I am a bit surprised you find it funny.

Probably less than half of thier news is actually political, so I guess thiers plenty of stuff any one can find funny, I guess.

I'd have to disagree with con...middle names aren't as important in deciding individuality. I know two Jamie Lynns. (three if you count Spears XD)
