Nope. Individualism stems from I am a person, an individual and your rights end where mine begin.
The whole special little snowflake crap stems from Progressive feel good psychology.
No, I don't owe myself to society. That is more feel good BS like It Takes a Village.
Personal Responsibility = If someone is in the bad condition they are in, it’s because they are lazy, or stupid, or both – there is no need to even bother looking for socio-economic factors. I like simplistic explanations that I can use to bash the poor and disadvantaged while supporting cuts to vital services they need.
Success = I get to accumulate as much wealth as possible through destruction and exploitation. Then I get to fool myself into thinking that it was all my hard work and nothing else. I believe that the richest people actually “deserve” their wealth. Why? Because the divine "free" market deems it so!

Does meeting him and having face time for like a half hour mean anything so all of my accounts with politicians are via face to face communication. How or why I came into the deal will not be discussed nor elaborated upon plus it's extremely complicated for someone to blatantly lie while they are speaking for me as they all know I'd call each and everyone out on it.

Buddy, let me assure you I've met a literate who's who of The SCUM and have met Mr. Paul himself and have spent time speaking to him and this is where and how I base my stance on someone. Until you've met and spoken freely to a small minute fraction of the people I have stay and remain quiet.
Nearly 1,000 politicians, nearly 2,000 entertainers, nearly 1,500 corporate masters of the universe with personal dealings with nearly 2,000 others!

My dealings with Matchbox Toys turning it from a $50 Mil (2002) company to a near $600 Million (2011) company got me noticed by The SCUM which they tried to manipulate me to do their bidding for them which afforded me the chance to meet alot of people that I typically wouldn't've gotten to meet. Met the current and last 6 NJ Gov's, the last 5 straight NY Govs, the current and every living POTUS, at least 50 present and former US Senators, at least 400 current and former members of The US House Of Reps, at least 10 current and former SCOTUS Justices, at least 50+ current and former heads of state, dozens of royals so do not tell me I do not know what I am talking about but you will not ever know what was discussed or with whom it was discussed.
A majority came to me. I rarely ever had to travel either out of state or out of region.
Payment was sex which has my numbers as high as 3,500 and has gotten me behind the wheel of some of the finest and fastest cars in the world. Yes, I've whipped around a Ferrari 458 Italia, Ferrari Enzo, Ferrari California, Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV, Lambo Reventon Coupe, Bugatti EB 16/4 Veyron (there is no feeling in the world that can match or top doing 240 mph on the ground), Nissan GT-R R35, 09 Chevy Corvette ZR1, Z06, 2010 Corvette Grand Sport, 2010 Camaro RS and SS, Dodge Challenger SRT-8, Porsche 911 GT2, Porsche Carrera GT, Dodge Viper SRT-10 ACR, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Mercedes SLR McLaren, Lambo Murcielago LP640,
I've seen and have had knowledge of the following cars long before the public,
Ferrari
FF, California, 430 Scuderia, 458 Italia, the 599 replacement due at Geneva 2013
Lotus Evora, Mercedes Benz SLS AMG,
Lamborghini :
Reventon Coupe and Roadster, Murcilago LP670-4 SV,Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni, Gallardo LP560-4, Gallardo LP570-4 Superleggera, Gallardo LP570-4 Superperformente, Estoque, Aventador LP700-4
Aston Martin
One-77, V12 Vantage, DBS V12, DBS Volante, Cygnet, Virage!
Porsche
918 Spyder, 911 GT2 997, 911 GT3 RS 997, Panamera 989.
I can't tell you how many times I was hooded to blind me to get tossed in the back of a van or a car just to drive around for what appeared to be hours that in reality was only like an hour tops.edit on 13-12-2011 by TheImmaculateD1 because: (no reason given)

Just about every family of The SCUM, celebs, politicians, entertainers!
I had to secure the Colonel's secret recipe and have held the gold box it's kept in for about an hour, one of the longest hours of my life.
The scariest thing I've ever held and actually got 2 people fired for doing so was the Presidential Nuclear Football, that damn thing is heavy, weighs about 50 lbs. Reason for the firings was that they allowed it to leave the secured zone as rules state it cannot travel no further then 50 ft of POTUS!

I gave you a reason why society plays such an important goal. You respond by calling it "crap". I'm still waiting for a reason why. You need to back up your assertions.

Sorry, once again, your success was not result of your work in isolation. There is the entire web of social relations which affect your success rate.

As I said I'm not a progressive. The people you mentioned are bourgeois liberals; I would question how much of their wealth they actually 'earned' too.
We were arguing about this very thing in another thread, weren't we?
Funny. I thought we were all Americans.

Don't allow him to get you to label yourself just so that he can't use it to take a swipe against you, label yourself an American and that is bulletproof!

A Member of the now infamous "Bought and Paid" Congress. He would've been the 2008 nominee but his inability to compromise on Social Security was an automatic non starter hence why McCain and the airhead got the nod. If Paul were to compromise on SS today by not going after it then he will be the nominee but since he continues to remain defiant on that makes that a non starter!

Pretty much exactly what I suspected. Most of the people who support *small government* learned the republicans are too slow in destroying america and thus have outsourced the job to libertarians.

TROLL ALERT, TROLL ALERT!
Hook, line, sinker, SUNK!
Deflecting what?
You are a liar and a BS'er.
Wild claims of sit downs with Ron Paul, Sex for knowledge, working for Matchbox Inc, discussions with what, 500 members (current and retired) of Govt, meeting with the President and involved with a Football issue and the icing on the cake, meeting with the late Colonel Sanders and holding the golden box that contains the 11 herbs and spices.
You, are a joke.
Back to the basement with thee.

I will admit that I love pie.
More partial to Key Lime then Blueberry.
What are you talking about?
You are a liar, plain and simple.
Or, you are diluted enough to actually believe in the tall tales you have pitched.
Shall I quote to provide a rehash of the BS you have pitched?
