IT doesn't have to be stressing. Just look at me. Not a care in the world :) Especially since I stopped trying to go over the call of duty, as it ended up landing me in trouble more than anything else >:( Yay for meritocracy eh?

Quite interesting

2009-04-09T11:13:07.315+02:00
You have no reply because you admit stealing is okay if the taxman does it (there is no "straw man" here). Of course there is a strawman, since this is not what I admit.

SE: So, Db0 is a relativist

SE: So, Db0 is a relativist and a collectivist. He thinks it is sometimes okay to use force to take something that belongs to someone else. There is nothing "libertarian" about his leftism. What, you wait 1 year to reply and then present strawmen to your invisible audience?

It should have action cards as well. "Corporate chain promotes Chav trend" "Music infiltration" etc etc :)

2009-02-12T10:02:56.156+01:00
Every country seems to have it's televant douchebags. You've got Chavs, Frankfurt seems to have these trend-challenged teenagers, Americans have their Guidos, Greeks have their "Doggers". It's everywhere the same. We should compile a little spreadsheet with the douchbags of every country, along with classic items of each, like music taste, clothe styles and of course, relevant pics :)

2009-02-05T09:30:41.894+01:00
The car managed to raise itself up 10 meters just by hitting a lamppost? Did the lamppost include a trampoline? I just find it hard to believe that it lifted up to the 3rd floor of a standard building :-/ Unless you're exaggerating, something I've told you a million times not to do.

The sarcasm was in

2009-01-14T10:57:47.527+01:00

The sarcasm was in the main due to the fact that I do brush regularly, particularly because I fear the dentist.
Hmm, You're right. Perhaps I should have been more explicit. When I say regularly, I did not mean a once-per-month schedule :P Finally you forget that you pre-emptied (-eed?) your derision already. I'm going to start charging you interest

I don't see the need for sarca

2009-01-13T15:09:36.853+01:00
I don't see the need for sarcasm, it was a simple question. For example, I don't brush regularly because I don't fear the dentists so I don't mind going once per 6 months or so to clean them.

Egalitarianism doe

2008-12-15T15:56:50.245+01:00

Egalitarianism does indeed equal uniformity when combined with socialism/communism comrade.
Please don't call me "comrade". It slaughters the word and sends a chill up my spine... No, egalitarianism does not equal uniformity when combined with Communism, however much you'd like it to be so that you can have an easy target. All you have is a strawman. There can be no egalitarianism without economic egalitarianism.

2008-12-15T12:26:04.291+01:00

Any attempt to legislate or mandate uniformity will fail.
Egalitarianims =/= Uniformity This seems to be a classic error that libertarians (purposefully?) make

Btw, this is exactly what I'm talking about when I mention groupthink
I will leave it up to fools to argue with someone who is still more foolish than they are, and the backstabbers to try to gain favor from DB0 by critizing other austrians because... well, because he makes good points, damn it!
How dare anyone claim that I raise a good point! He must be either a bigger fool than I am or a backstabbing traitor. Woe to him who dares to not agree that I am a complete dunce.

2008-12-11T19:17:08.633+01:00

db0, the problem is that you lack ANY understanding of economics.

2008-12-11T12:40:54.957+01:00

The great thing about db0 is that he made me really strive to refute what he was saying.
Thanks m8, this is the best compliment that I could have asked for.

2008-12-11T12:04:42.996+01:00

Well, this guy is more fun than DeLong
Thank you, thank you! I'll be here all day. @Gary Connolly Thanks. To tell the truth I was a bit surprised at the kind of bile a simple refutation received. I would expect that intellectuals would welcome a challenge and at least appreciate a "marxoid" reading what they have to say and attempting to open a discussion. This is what I mean with groupthink, not that everyone is closed to freethought, but that the majority simply dismissed me out of hand and cheered for others who did the same. Yes, some did comment on my blog but (it seems to me) started with the assumption that I was wrong and looked for evidence to prove it. This is why the concept of "risk" came into play, when it did not even exist in Hoppe's argument.

The last person wh

2008-12-10T16:32:06.909+01:00

The last person who should be complaining about groupthink is a Marxist.
Who said I'm a marxist? My being here, and actually reading your articles is all the proof I need against your accusation of groupthink.

It's this conseque

2008-12-10T16:29:30.663+01:00

It's this consequentialist approach that's characteristic of your reasoning in the exploitation piece as well.
My reaction fits the moral wrong which in this case was minor. Yes, I could condemn but it would simply look petty. But don't let me stop you from jumping to conclusions.
With regard to the oldest comment of austro you didn't.
Yes I did. The only reason you do not see it is because you didn't (and can't atm) expand the comments

I was being faceti

2008-12-10T15:19:57.313+01:00

I would call it misleading but I do not mind so much seeing as you made everyone curious of me.

You mean the one-s

2008-12-10T15:12:28.041+01:00

You mean the one-sentenced void responses (such as the one to austro-libertarian), to multi-paragraph comments on your piece?
That's a blatant lie. I countered all the points of austro-libertarian. I certainly don't like discussing with liars, that's for sure. PS: The groupthink in here...it burrrrrns

Note to Divided by

2008-12-10T13:01:42.201+01:00

Note to Divided by Zero: does you appreciation mean that you are prepared to refute mises articles in a somewhat more interactive way, i.e. via debate on this site?
What's wrong with posting refutations on my own site? I have comments as well and it also becomes easier to find and bookmark for others. PS: Yes, my name is a mathematical impossibility, it's also a programming error. This is why I selected it. There's also the concept that a division by zero results in infinite.

Hey, thanks for all the attent

2008-12-10T11:55:57.654+01:00
Hey, thanks for all the attention people. I love you too. Just came to note something
Here is a blogger who promises to refute all articles on Mises.org!
I did not promise that. I simply said that I created a series to contain any refutation I (attempt) to make. Doing everything is far beyond my capabilities and time. Nevertheless, thanks for the free publicity. This humble blogger appreciates it.

2008-11-22T23:48:31.688+01:00
If you are a geek, an atheist, a socialist or an Epicurean, you might find the Division by Zer0 as an interesting stop in your online web travels. If you're all of the above, then you certainly will. I do not care to focus around Atheism as I do not find it to have any cohesiveness (indeed an atheist can be left or right, authoritarian or libertarian, skeptic or denialist) but I do write from an atheist perspective on various subjects, and perhaps a point of view that comes from outside the U.S.A. or G.Britain might be refreshing as well. Mainly you will find personal thoughts, ideas and opinions that do not always walk the popular road. If you're thick skinned enough to handle the controversy you're welcome to come in and attempt to discuss. Hopefully one of us will come out of it as a better person.

2008-10-24T10:51:44.556+02:00
Dennis, this is in addition but it also complements them as not all blogs use them (mainly blogger) Other than that, two things: a) Trackbacks appear between and similar to comments so this looks totally different. b) It can start hidden so it does not have to conflict. People can expand it when trying to see the links

2008-10-22T17:46:46.067+02:00

Better yet: maybe I’ll only comment when I actually have something meaningful to say. What a revolutionary idea.
You've got my take on it right there. I never comment when I have nothing tangible to add to the conversation with the exception that I will drop by and write "Great post!" when someone writes one. But, seriously, I've never experienced this kind of teenager tag thingy. I can't even fathom that people would do that. I mean, what's the point? People commenting just for the sake of commenting and thus not saying anything useful? Bah.

How is that different from what you're doing now exactly? :P Anyway, I've been generally lucky not to have too many of these events happen to me but OTOH, I don't go out much...

2008-09-16T21:45:34.542+02:00

So yeah, Apple, great company...Only when they can't do otherwise
