But you're missing my entire argument, and that's main issue I have with most libertarians; they're entirely shortsighted and focused on how things affect them right now.

Instead of viewing the thought of taxes going to help cover the costs of needles as 'STEALING MY MONEY FOR LOWLIFES, IT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY!!1!11', come to the realization that no ones saying it's your 'responsibility', we're arguing that paying for those needles will save on an absurdly higher level of cost associated with things that *ARE* your responsibility to pay for as a citizen (mainly, the societal cost incurred from infectious diseases and the cost of putting someone in prison).

Google - personal responsibility. Does taking my money for causes you deem worthy make you feel charitable?

Thank you for proving my point exactly concerning the short-sighted and idiotic nature of many 03-banghead

I AM NOT SAYING IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, I AM SAYING IT IS FISCALLY ADVANTAGEOUS TO PAY FOR SUCH THINGS NOW AS THEY ARE A CHEAP WAY TO PREVENT MANY OF THE HIGH COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THINGS THAT *ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY*

I might say that as a joke due to a number of posters on here(Rebel comes to mind) who would shoot or nuke anyone he doesn't agree with.

List the things you think are my responsibility. Please.

In this instance, prisons and the costs associated with keeping infectious diseases at bay. No, I'm not talking about HIV itself, but instead the creation and spread of antibiotic resistant bacterium. Though, if you knew a little more about viral pathology you'd realize it's really not a smart idea to not try and limit the number of carriers of lethal immuno viruses, because viruses don't seem to care whether or not paying for needles is your 'responsibility'.

Your absurd rigidity to the "NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY, WON'T PAY FOR IT, IT'S STEALING" ideology is my main problem with many libertarians. I'm not saying it's your responsibility, I'm saying it's a pragmatic and cost-effective solution to a potentially massive problem.

If AIDS carriers were treated like Lepars, it wouldn't require my tax dollars. Go tell that to the libtards who marginalize the disease by perpetuating the hood mentality.

It is just too simple and obvious a concept

Maybe we can just call them concentration camps.

Let's put others there too - gun owners, smokers, Republicans - you know, all those things that are a detrement to a healthy society.

Because confining all carriers into an area where the different mutations of the virus can replicate and trade genetic material can in no way end badly.

I don't mind paying for prisons.
If they get an infectious disease let them die. Not my problem.
My rigidity is a byproduct of you being so generous with my money.

Quote:I don't mind paying for prisons.

You don't mind paying for prisons? You know how much birth control can be bought by simply not having to incarcerate a single person? What about this concept don't you understand?

Quote:If they get an infectious disease let them die. Not my problem.

Looking past the sociopathic qualities espoused by this statement, you clearly don't understand the dangers antibiotic resistant bacteria pose to the general public, not too mention the dangers of not limiting the carriers of a dangerous immuno virus like HIV. If you want no responsibility for paying for society at all outside of what you directly use/consume, move to Somalia.

Quote:My rigidity is a byproduct of you being so generous with my money.

Everything I've posted about in this thread will actually save significant money in the long run, sh*t for brains.

I was thinking along the lines of AIDS tattooed on their foreheads. I'll be happy to chip in for that.

Hell of an idea. Tats are already popular. They can then get some Neck Tats to complement the forehead art.
