<<"if we don't have government, we are not allowed to think. I forgot about that. Good point!"<< Non sequitur, are you drinking again? "It followed from your insinuation that you could not have both reason and anarchy, so your assertion is incorrect." Solon Solon Solon. You did say you had NO RULES (anarchy) but then tried to assert reason as an overarching GOVERNING principal as a guide to correct action. That's as non sequitur as it gets, are you OK? "GOVERNMENT IS NOT ANY ASPECT OF TRUE ANARCHY. ANARCHY IS THE ABSENCE OF GOVERNMENT." Yes that's right isn't it? So my original assertion is correct after all. You can't have no rules and some rules at the same time can you? You were the one that tied the idea of government and anarchy together. Straining at a minor misstatement on my part wont help you out of a major contradiction in your own position. "OF COURSE YOU COULD USE FORCE AGAINST OTHERS!" Well thank you for continuing to make my points for me. You could indeed use force and it wouldn't be wrong either would it? No because there is no such thing as wrong, and no GOVERNING principal such as reason to say otherwise. "ONLY SOMEONE WHO WAS ABSOLUTE COULD HAVE ABSOLUTE KNOWLEDGE OR ABSOLUTE TRUTH." Oh this is the best part. YOU SAY THAT AS IF IT'S ABSOLUTELY TRUE! I don't have to posses absolute knowledge to know that it exists. Just like I don't have to have all knowledge about electricity to turn on my computer. Who are you to say that God who is absolute, could not communicate with someone who is finite, and reveal to them that absolute truth exists. Try to get a grip old boy.
