I support censorship.

Government Censorship?? So when Christianity is viewed as harmful to public view, and the Government decides to censor christian sites (like Redemption) you'll be content? We already have too much government control.

Already did.

This is dangerously close to turning into another "should Christians force their morality on people" debate.

If anything, this debate is "Corporations vs. People"

We should censor anyone who doesn't agree with me.

Reported for being dangerously close to causing irreparable damage to our beloved community. How dare you threaten us with your talk of irresponsible censorship. You should have your tongue cut out boy.

I read the first part and thought you were being an immature 15 year old, but then I read the second part. Either way, let me know how the SS does with silencing you. I need some feedback on that side of the censorship program.

This is why I'm a minimalist with the goverment.

I'm a minimalist when it comes to minimalism.

That's actually not true if you believe in no legal abortions or banning homosexual marriages.

Then is there no difference between a "minimalist" and an anarchist?  After all, the minimum of anything is zero.  Phrases like "minimalist" are too vague, in my opinion, because almost everyone agrees that government should do SOMETHING.  We just don't agree on what those "minimal" things are.

1 - Minimalism refers to the elimination of everything unnecessary, so unless you believe everything is unnecessary, it would not equate to your idea of anarchy.

2 - Anarchy does not mean lawlessness.

Well we're arguing semantics then, which is pointless.  "Minimalism" has its origins in art and music forms, but we're now using it in political speech.  I think we are agreeing actually.  I'm just saying that where the bar is set for what constitutes "minimal government" will change with every person that you speak to, making it, in my opinion, a rather useless phrase.  It's like me saying I'm for "smaller government", but at the same time I wish that on MY pet issues the government played an even larger role than it currently does.  Instead I think we need to be more specific on what we'd like to be cut and what we'd like to see increased, otherwise we are rightly accused by Alex and others of just cherry-picking our favorite issues while we scream for "minimal" government intervention.

Regarding anarchy not equaling lawlessness, I'm not sure why you felt the need to add that, since I neither said nor implied that anarchy equals lawlessness.  I was only stating that you can minimize government to the point where it doesn't exist anymore, which I don't think anyone in this thread is advocating.

Found this kind of funny actually.  I'm not saying I fully agree with their definition, but apparently the experts don't agree with us.

Anarchy - definition B - "a state of lawlessness ..."
