Publicly != coercively. Nice try.
I assumed by "publicly funded" you meant "tax funded". If you don't think taxes are coercive, what happens when an individual doesn't pay it?

The work, to be reported today in the journal Nature Neuroscience, grew out of decades of previous research suggesting that political orientation is linked to certain personality traits or styles of thinking. A review of that research published in 2003 found that conservatives tend to be more rigid and closed-minded, less tolerant of ambiguity and less open to new experiences. Some of the traits associated with conservatives in that review were decidedly unflattering, including fear, aggression and tolerance of inequality. That evoked outrage from conservative pundits.

A study at University College London in the UK has found that conservatives’ brains have larger amygdalas than the brains of liberals. Amygdalas are responsible for fear and other “primitive” emotions. At the same time, conservatives’ brains were also found to have a smaller anterior cingulate — the part of the brain responsible for courage and optimism.
That's conservative. Fuck conservatives with a large pineapple. Communists were conservatives. Libertarians seem anything but conservatives. Pro-let everyone do what they want and be who they want to be is just about as opposite of conservativism as you can get.
Great, so everyone but Red is all for publicly funded education and healthcare. Those two things go a long way to creating a powerhouse economy and a prospering middle class.
Another beautiful fallacy. Being against coercively funded education or healthcare != conservative.
Keep them coming.
I'm also against coercively funded food and shelter, but I bet you are too.

I currently do so. I do not understand its relevance with regards to my involvement in this thread..
You seemed to express incredulity that education for the poor could be provided voluntarily. I was suggesting that since you and others currently voluntarily do so, or at least would voluntarily do so if they were not forced to do so, that they would continue to do so without being forced.
I expressed incredulity that anyone would be so naive as to think that the little bit of volunteering is anywhere near sufficient to compare to public institutions, or that poor people can afford any sort of education at all. It sounds like serfdom to me. Anyone who truly believes that the poor can pick up and educate themselves has never spent time in a third world country...or the southeastern united states.
I would keep doing supplemental tutoring with four children who have nothing. I don't think my meager efforts would save them if they weren't allowed a public education.

I don't recall there being a single conservative here. Maybe Red but that's about it.

I, for one, am afraid that the fags and liberals will mind-sodomize my children into their corrupt and immoral way of thinking. GW2008freedomain'tfreelet'sbuildawallforthembrownfolks.com...check out my blog.

I am going to be completely honest here; I have no fucking clue what you are trying to say with the post quoted above.
Would you charitably contribute to the education of poor children, were you not forced to do so by a government?
I currently do so. I do not understand its relevance with regards to my involvement in this thread.

It's a very good organization. Give them your crappy fiat.

Wow....just...wow. What hell did you crawl out of?
Your incredulity rebuts itself. You are obviously happy to provide education to the poor, thus you and the others like you, would be happy to provide education to the poor in a stateless society.

You know what else those mentioned private industries have in common? The poor can't afford to use them. We already have very nearly the worst social mobility in the First World, and you guys are chomping at the bit to make it even worse.
I don't see why poor people could not afford some education. Surely not as good an education as the one a child of a rich family could afford, but still they could get some. And they would certainly be some good people who would be happy to provide free education, just by generosity.
Wow....just...wow. What hell did you crawl out of?
In Rwanda. Hutus. A tribe in war with Tutsi.
I'm not really familiar with this so I'm just going to cherry pick some quotes from Wikipedia. Feel free to poke holes in my limited understanding...
In Darfur. SLA and JEM two tribal groups vs Janjaweed militia, a collection of arabic tribes.
You mean versus Janjaweed militia, the Sudanese Armed Forces, and the Sudanese Police Foreign Mercenaries?
Destroy violent drug cartels simple? Only in a simple mind. Explain to me what you think happens if they end drug prohibition.
If it's legal, the cartels no longer have a monopoly and will have to compete with legitimate businesses. In exactly the same way that the end of alcohol prohibition neutered (I won't say killed) the mafia.
So the tribal wars in Africa are ... what?
Not even in the same ball park as the wars waged by nation-states, if they can even be called wars at all.
Or the drug wars in South America?
You mean the ones caused by nation states prohibiting the production, distribution, and use of certain substances?
Have a look at what happened in Rwanda and tell me that it can't be called a war at all.
That's not exactly fair, is it? That was a civil war based upon tribal differences, but one tribe had a complete lock on government, and thus is was also an ethnic cleaning by a government. That fact gave one tribe an unacceptable force advantage over the other.
Sure. Who committed the atrocities?
You said tribal wars. I was expecting you were talking about actual tribes, not nation-states.
You'll have to refresh me, what happened and who did it?
They can destroy the violent drug cartels in one simple way: end drug prohibition.

Saying it's not even in the same ball park is ignorant to the point of being offensive.

Not even the big bad government can fight the cartels
