Troll road blockage
I find a lot of the libertarians and atheists on the internet highly amusing. So many are so earnest in their belief that they are amongst the few-who-know. They're such fun to troll. The real beauty of it is that I don't even need to say anything that I don't believe. They often tie themselves in logical knots. Yes, it's totally malicious and a little cruel but it's fun.
Common beliefs amongst atheists seem to be that all Christians are Biblical literalists, and that it's impossible to believe in a deity and evolution at the same time. Libertarians often seem to think that economics supports all their arguments and that Government is always less efficient than the private sector.
Still, occasionally I'm a little stumped by the attitude.
There was a thread on Slashdot about working conditions in the games industry. A common attitude seems to be that anything short of physical force is not exploitation, and as such it's wrong for the government to use "physical force" (i.e. laws backed up by fines backed up by a police force) to stop this. I really have no idea where to start.
Maybe I've been trolled.
