Interesting to see you admit that you don't believe in the case you're making. I do think it shows somewhat, as those opening arguments are quite inaccurate. It would've been interesting, though, to see you recover if the Don had stuck around (assuming he was informed enough to respond properly).
Hayek, on Keynes: "His interests were largely guided by aesthetic appeal; he knew very little about economics as a discipline. He could have found any number of antecedents of his inflationary ideas among the writers of the early 1800's, but when I raised this with him, it was all new to him. He was rather contemptuous of anything which had been done before; he was convinced he could recreate the subject, and that came with a certain arrogance that there was nothing else worth learning."
That is simply wrong. A militia is, by definition, an entirely circumstantial and non-codified collection of citizens, so it cannot be claimed that the 2nd Amendment granted the states a right which their citizens could not exercise as individuals. What you also seem to be forgetting is that the 2nd Amendment does not confer privileges, rights, protections et al upon individuals, as such, not does it grant such authority to the state, but instead sets out what the government is not to do, not what its citizens can do.
I'm afraid I'm a normie of the most contemptible sort. I don't watch much television or film - I'm a gamer at heart - and what I do watch is generic dross like Pacific Rim, Godzilla and Marvel.
Undoubtedly so haha! But it'd nice to know exactly what about capitalism the renowned pedophile was allegedly right about before accepting a debate challenge. ^_^
My first debate on this site. I would ask you to be gentle, but I wouldn't be, so let's have at it haha! :)
Happy to let you set the terms and conditions of the debate, and if there's anything I'm not particularly happy about within it, I will respond where necessary until we get it right.

Ah, but don't forget, Sir, that they can fire 30 rounds in half a second, and kill 93 million Americans every single day!

Made aware of this rule 2 days ago (previously wasn't). Think I've voted on 2 or 3 more before I was reminded, so might wanna hunt them down.

Fair enough; I didn't recall that particular rule on this or the handful of other debates I've voted on. Apologies.

Right about what?
