Well I'd say it's both

2018-07-08 14:20:45 UTC  

i would agree

2018-07-08 14:20:52 UTC  

and that economic and social issues are intertwined

2018-07-08 14:21:37 UTC  

I mean if I demand people only believe in one religion, that can become an economic issue

2018-07-08 14:21:55 UTC  

as you're not allowed to make choices based on other religions

2018-07-08 14:21:58 UTC  

even buying choices

2018-07-08 14:22:22 UTC  

that is an issue of authoritarianism like i already said

2018-07-08 14:23:04 UTC  

therefore I think a single axis graph is fine

2018-07-08 14:23:15 UTC  

so we agree?

2018-07-08 14:23:29 UTC  

I wonder if I could make a quiz based on that graph

2018-07-08 14:23:51 UTC  

probably

2018-07-08 14:24:13 UTC  

although it must be hard to come up with the right questions

2018-07-08 14:24:25 UTC  

I mean I get stumped on "gay marriage" questions

2018-07-08 14:24:34 UTC  

you can use the same questions probably, just eliminate the other axis

2018-07-08 14:24:45 UTC  

not because I don't think gays can't get married, I just don't think marriage is a dominion of the government

2018-07-08 14:25:04 UTC  

"should gays be allowed to be married?"

2018-07-08 14:25:10 UTC  

yeah, there are a few questions like that

2018-07-08 14:25:22 UTC  

where i dont think it's a political issue

2018-07-08 14:25:25 UTC  

well er, if they have a fancy party where they confess their love for each other, then I won't stop them

2018-07-08 14:25:40 UTC  

if they want to sign some contract joining their resources, then why not

2018-07-08 14:25:55 UTC  

sure if they want to pay the more taxes you get from beein married. and let the church deside if they want to do that crap, dont force them

2018-07-08 14:26:19 UTC  

Well there should be no tax difference between being married or unmarried

2018-07-08 14:26:24 UTC  

i just want the government out of virtually everything

2018-07-08 14:26:50 UTC  

people should not be able to push their personal agendas like that

2018-07-08 14:26:56 UTC  

Even if I agree that taxation must exist, it's not to be used to encourage behaviours

2018-07-08 14:27:09 UTC  

agreed

2018-07-08 14:27:38 UTC  

at least where I live, getting married makes your taxed rise as they will combine the income of the household, it a stupid system

2018-07-08 14:27:51 UTC  

the only government involvement might be in ensuring the contract is abided by

2018-07-08 14:27:59 UTC  

yup

2018-07-08 14:28:36 UTC  

basically just the military and the courts, and maybe some other things but i'm not sure

2018-07-08 14:28:41 UTC  

so basically to send police when one partner steals all the money

2018-07-08 14:29:13 UTC  

Well I believe the main job of the government is contract enforcement and property protection

2018-07-08 14:29:23 UTC  

but even that last one can be done by me owning a gun

2018-07-08 14:29:37 UTC  

agreed

2018-07-08 14:30:26 UTC  

entitlement programs were the worst thing that ever happened to this country imo

2018-07-08 14:30:36 UTC  

what do you mean?

2018-07-08 14:30:40 UTC  

like welfare?

2018-07-08 14:30:52 UTC  

basically

2018-07-08 14:30:58 UTC  

Wealth distribution is definitely not the government's job

2018-07-08 14:31:01 UTC  

or anyone's job

2018-07-08 14:33:21 UTC  

maybe a private charity
