Only when there is nobody you hired to shoot the fucker back. Like in a Statist environment.

When there is a free market gang members will no longer kill people for spilling ketchup on their shoe.

It is proven science.

For the record I'm libertarian, so I guess if anyone should side with OaO I should, but hes just waaayyy to sure about his scenarios being formulaic for me to side with him. Its insane to reduce human nature and something as complex as society to exacts. You cannot make claims like you do. You can argue they are likely, though doing so would be extremely difficult since as far as I know only one truly Libertarian/non warring anarchist society has ever been recorded and they were on a fucking island with a population of less than a thousand.

Stick to philosophical arguments and you wont sound like so much of a sophomoric idealist but rather a pretentious intellectual faggot.

Dude, in anarcho-capitalism Public Displays of Affection stop irrational gang members in their tracks.

Plus OAO doesn't go to poor places with gangs & such.

That's why there is no crime. Criminals might get caught, which immediately discourages them from commiting crimes. It's just not profitable!

Does it seem odd to anyone that OAO has no comments on how the free market is working out in New Orleans?

[The One and Only...]

That's because New Orleans is under MARTIAL LAW.

And thinking that there would be no transitionary period is asinine.

And even ignoring those two things, saying anarchy isn't working in New Orleans is like dropping a bomb on Hiroshima and saying "Anarchy did NOTHING for these people!!"

I liked you better when you weren't here.
