Sigh. You still don't get it.

[/ QUOTE ]

There's nothing to get - you said something ("Thank God there are people to protect you from yourself") that you thought sounded philosophical or something, but was really just some empty words that have absolutely no meaning. I can't 'get' meaningless nonsense.

[/ QUOTE ]

Just because you don't have the intellectual capacity to understand does not make what I wrote meaningless nonsense.

In the end, I believe you would give up all of yours

[/ QUOTE ]

Who am I giving up my rights to? That's what I need protection from. Not myself.

[/ QUOTE ]

No, you don't. I'm not really suprised that you still don't understand. It is the fact that you would be willing to give up your rights that is the problem. You need protecting from yourself because you are willing to give up your rights to others. Can you not understand that very simple point.

and others rights

[/ QUOTE ]

If I had the power to give up others' rights, then they would need protection from me. That wouldn't mean that I need protection from myself.

[/ QUOTE ]

It is you and your ignorant ilk that DO have the power to give up your rights. All you have to do is vote them away.

I believe you would make yourself a slave if you could.

[/ QUOTE ]

Who would have me as a slave? Then that's what I need protection from, not myself.

[/ QUOTE ]

The government certainly would. You need protection from them, yes, but also from yourself for granting and allowing the government to grow stronger and controlling.
