    I don’t want to be forced to drive places by stupid car centric public space design. The freedom to walk everywhere is my god given right.

    “Dick”, the censored word is “Dick”, kids.

    This is not US cable TV. Let’s keep it that way.

    It’s interesting that God only decided to give people this right after they had lived on the Earth for millions of years.

    Are cars in the bible? Has this guy heard of a driver’s license? Obviously isn’t a right at all. Fuck cars! Electric rail everywhere!

    "I’m all about freedom! It’s my god given right "

    Anyways here’s how I’m going to use the government to force others to build and maintain a billion parking spaces they don’t want or need

    I guarantee this guy hates congestion as well

    Agree on majority of the post, except for “make the choices you feel are right”. Hard disagree on this normatively. If you’re saying it descriptively, sure, but it’s essentially tautological at that point.

    We shouldn’t advocate that people just act in whatever way feels correct to them. Sociopaths feel like it’s okay to do things that are not okay. So do bigots, racists, speciesists, sexists, etc.

    We should instead do what you’re doing with the majority of your post, advocate for correct positions and then come to a rational conclusion with the people we are talking to. Giving them a get out of jail free card, permitting them to do literally anything, is unnecessary.

      Invoking guilt, yes I’m saying it descriptively. I put it at the end as a “I’ll let you make the right choice”. Thanks for pointing it out, though.

    I browse All and sometimes see content from this community and I’m not completely on board with all of you…

    But, that was a very good response. You’ve acted like and adult. It’s very rare on the internet.

    The comment you’re replying to sounds like it might be sarcastic, but not sure without being able to hear the tone.

      On one hand I hear you. On the other hand I’ve heard these exact words come out of “libertarian” mouths before

      Not too sure, I’m going to assume it’s serious unless there’s a tone indicator. Did I get the community values right or something?
