I think an honest libertarian view would be that, while perhaps convicted p-dophiles should not be denied various human and civil rights (I say 'perhaps' being that anyone with a drop of blood in their veins, after having children, cannot even pretend to be unbiased on the subject), the owner of said apartment units should not be forced to rent to child m-lesters. There are some things that should be both legal and not tolerated. Kind of like all the virtual "age play" crap going on. Just because pretending you're engaging in p-dophilia with computer games isn't, and probably shouldn't be, technically illegal (it's a mind crime). No one should allow it to occur on their systems.

Bankruptcy already carries enormous direct and indirect punishment in the existing system. Some people are indeed, if the bankruptcy includes fraud charges, prohibited from engaging in said business activities in the future.

I agree.

Philosophically, why is a p-dophile more evil than a regular sex offender?

Similarly, is regicide more evil than felony murder?

Who cares if the markets are gamed. (I am not saying if they are or not.) You can still be very happy if you happen to be on the right side of the trade.

Stop whining! This board is not a support group. :)

I don’t have any problem with a law that would prevent anyone who declared bankruptcy from going in to business again until all their creditors were made whole. I have a moral problem with a bankruptcy system that “wipes out” debt. I have no problem with the courts suspending debt payments to allow a person or business to restructure, but I think that individuals should be forced to continue paying any and all debts until they die (when the creditors will be able to liquidate their estate and only pass finds on to the debtors heirs after they are made whole)…

P.S. While I lost a lot of money in Real Estate I never declared bankruptcy (I’ve never even bounced a check or had a late payment). I was able to sign quitclaim deeds to people who had deeper pockets than I did who made all the payments (and in the end made a lot of money after things turned around and they sold the property)…

GC, I don't think you are as good at avoiding conflicts as you believe.

All i haveto say is thank god last week’s stock market pummelling is over!

The week itself is certainly over...

What made you say that?

What made whom say what?

Oops!

And don't forget their "janes" too.

“McChitBoxMang” is my offering.

Why were you deliberately picking fight with SR regarding p-dophiles?

No more obscenity please.

New thread: What would a psychic say about the housing market?

David Lereah is a fool, and a puppet of the real estate cartel, but it is unbecoming of good hearted people to resort to hurtful and cruel insults. A spokesman for a legitimate self serving industry doing his job is in no way similar to Herman Goering, and the things he did. Those who believe they are above DL actually lower themselves to a level below what they are criticizing when they spew such bile. This is a democratic society and everyone is entitled to their point of view no matter how silly it may be.
