[Morning in Atlas]

As one of this forum's many resident left-libertarians:

Hang the paedos.

[Joe Republic]

[Lief 🗽]

no, no, opebo never went in for any of this libertarian nonsense. oh he could have, very easily, but he was smarter than that, we can say that much for the man at least.

[Deus Naturae]

I disagree, assuming it's actual children we're talking about. I don't really consider 16 y/o+ to be "children" so they should be allowed to do porn if they want (their parents can try and stop them if they want, and in most situations I think they'd be right to do so, but it's none of the government's business). 15 is iffy but I'd lean on the side of non-intervention in that case as well.

[TNF]

I more or less agree with Deus.

[🦀🎂🦀🎂]

A perfect example of when the 'just legalise it' mantra becomes insane.

[Pheurton Skeurto]

I really would like to believe that this is just a one-off kind of statement and that nobody agrees with it.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

This was one of the reasons Mary Ruwart didn't get the nomination.

That awful quote is a good example of the way Libertarians tend to overthink themselves into strange positions that have zero chance of happening, often because they mistake political philosophy for actual philosophy.

The LP is a circular firing squad at times because of statements like these.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

One could reasonably argue that the age of responsibility for many activities has been set too high.  It's a side effect of the fact that for most people today it takes longer than actual childhood to acquire the skills necessary to become a fully economically independent individual because of the complexity of modern life.
