You're absolutely correct.

It's just an observation.

Forums are places were individuals with similar values discuss issues. This is a PSD forum, and it's full of PSD owners and knowledge. It's funny that you enjoy hanging out here when you have so much opposition to your ideas of government against the individual. But it makes it fun.

Putting this back on track, again...

Government forcing an individual or a company to provide a service to another is wrong. If checkthisout came to AK_Gandy's and took his money, it's theft. When the government forces an entity through regulation, taxation, or mandate to provide a service, no value for value, it is also theft.

Simply, "not good".

Individuals and companies give when they can for their own charitable interests. When they can. Value for value. Anyone can have a right to health care, but there is no right to make another provide for it.

Individuals have the right to act. And individuals have the right to keep the results of their actions, the products they make, to keep them or to trade them with others as they wish.

And others have no right to the actions or products of those individuals, except on terms to which they voluntarily agree.

Value for value

Still waiting for a rational argument guys. When one can produce a reason to eliminate individual rights, then you guys can contribute more productively.

Most of the threads are that way(another "what is the best oil thread?" anyone)

At least SD & AK have some spark and are willing to spend some time voiceing/typing their views.

I had to look up pedantic.

Why would you think that people who just happen to own the same brand of truck................. would automatically have "similar values?"

Are you stereotyping?

Because the job of educating is never done.

Besides, I've read enough other opinions here to discount your perceived idea that you represent everyone.

In fact, I would bet that there are a lot of people just reading these threads that don't think like you but.............aren't willing to put in the admittedly useless time that we do, discussing it.

Well then quit your whining about the fact that I don't currently own a PSD then.

Generalizing. Same thing pretty much. Similar values? Yeah, large, heavy, petroleum burning, internal combustion truck.

Was it you or checkthisout that said they wanted a law that took these truck away from people that didn't pull a trailer once a month. I guess you count in there with your fifth wheel.

I'm sure there are those that don't agree. However, my ideology protects their rights as I have no claim to theirs. Nor can I place a force upon them. That protects everyone. I am not here to represent. Individuals can do that on their own on their own time.

Honestly, I think few come in this section. And individual freedom has been so trampled in the name of so many strange ideas, individuals don't know what to think anymore. But they are waking up.

You should be looking for another one.

Why?

I don't need one any more and I'm not the type that needs to feel important driving down the freeway with a jacked up diesel truck as a commuter vehicle.

Besides, I have use of trucks anytime I want that make the standard PSD seem............. dull.

Like this one.

While looking for potential illegal immigrants.

Here's a whole train load of Guatemalan's coming out of Tapachula headed for the United States.

They only have a couple thousand miles to go.

...just don't want to see you go off the deep end and end up banned. I enjoy reading the discussions between you and SD. I try to keep my opinions on these subject to myself, have seen too many people (members) get thier feelings stepped on when my viewpoint isn't thier's, and I get real tired of the members who just throw "junk in the game", I had to be "on my toes" for 25+ yrs as a prison guard and I don't like to have to be "on my game" all the time anymore...and FWIW I too DON'T OWN A PSD. I think Brians ban was lifetime
