@bxtrem please explain…how could one present the individualist vs. collectivist argument in a democratic or totalitarian way? i understand that it comes from an individualist bias, in that it is clearly arguing in favor of individualism.

@WhatsUpWithOurWorld i know obama will fail….from my perspective. it just depends on whose perspective you are looking from. (from the banking industry’s perspective, obama already succeeded, and continues to create new successes…)

I was saying that it doesn’t matter who represents the argument… the argument and the support for it is what matters.
And no, there isn’t always a clearcut right/wrong on the side of arguments. Remember that ALL laws and theories of science are technically “wrong” 🙂 … they are just less and less far away from the truth.
But in moral arguments, right and wrong is something we decide, the universe itself couldn’t care less about our puny moral values… just look at nature 🙂

@Vitringur
no. There is a right and a wrong side of an argument. Even if someone is wrong, then he may be able to come up with “evidence” to support their points. Remember, 400 years ago everyone KNEW that the world was flat, and they could come up with evidence that it was. So there is a true right and wrong, it not’s just who can prove their point

holy crap!! there are intelligent humans in the world!!
I agree completly. Being White and Male, I will have a far harder time getting into college, or even the workforce. For Example, did everyone here know that a black person can get into college with a 2.0 LOWER GPA than i can, just because he’s black?

What has that have to do with what he has to say?
Are the words of a white man less important than others?
It doesn’t matter if he is a serial killer, raper, communist, black, poor, royal or a priest…
The only thing that matters is that he can support his arguement.
Those who live with financial security are more likely to be libertarians, according to studies.
But that has nothing to do with whether libertarianism is bad or not.

if “they” want to get rid of the source that started this mess they could begin with themselves who lead us covertly to this tipping point. but they are the mentally ill interbred group who cant see it is they who lacking not the reast of us held down, poor folk which they created.

teams are necessary for businesses.People do not individually become wealthy solo;we need some duty to our responsibility of what we create,and that is if we have biz in which others are at our mercy of exploitation that we should recognize that and do according, that is to not impose our individual rights on them and allow them equal opportunity as we had and a fair chance to survive or further themselves as we did.I believe in individual gain,but with individual duty to others based on rights.

it is in our responsibility for if we accumulate a majority of wealth to use it according to expand our gains to allow jobs, to use it to keep it flowing in the econ(to strengthen the economy rather than allow stagnation or weakening)weakened econ hurts all even individuals. An individual self can only accomplish so much and that is why one makes a biz, to accomplish more.a biz one makes, one is responsible for and for those who they use to make the biz successful. Taxes are for security funds.

what makes people confused is that individualist since the beginning of our constitutional revolutions have always been SAYIN ‘equality’ or ‘égalité’. The word is too easy to use by collectivists. We should – as individualists – praise the words : ‘equal valour and treatment despite natural en social inequality’.
