Who the hell is FMF? Some authority around here? Or even some one who should be respected?
A vindictive, lying,deceitful troll through and through!
I could care less what the hell FMF has to say let alone honor some absurd request to censorship.

I proposed the idea on a thread a few weeks ago. Some thought it was a good idea. Others didn't. It's purely voluntary. I really don't know what you mean by "censorship". And I don't recall ever "lying" on this forum. But you're free to say that too, I suppose.

I agree with FMF -- topics related to the US seem to dominate the Debates Forum -- so it would be most refreshing to take a month off from beating on the usual dead horses.

Obviously, FMF isn't censoring anything. Post as you wish.

Then post the way want and myself and others will post the way we want.
We do not need your permission or blessing to do so either.

You're lying right now you sophist prick.
Scriabin exposed you. I did ,generalissimo did, and many others.
You would do best to let it go now and go on pontificating about Japan and derailing threads in your classless fashion.

What "lying" are you talking about?

Burn him! Seriously, though, this is just an internet forum. No need to get all worked up.

No

==If so, is theft then sometimes justified?==

N/A

==And can other forms of theft be justified too?==

yes; sometimes some thefts are justified (e.g., stealing and taking asprin if you're having a heart attack in a CVS and you forgot your wallet)

==If not, what makes taxation not theft? ==

Taxat ...[text shortened]... ng to get my thoughts straight on this matter, and would appreciate your input.==

Any time

What if I personally withdraw my consent? Does it start being theft then?

Who am I? Well, I am someone who is, for the most part, among friends on this forum as far as I am concerned. That's why I felt able to make the suggestion to fellow posters. If you don't want to enter into the spirit of it, it's perfectly fine. I don't really see why you need to be so personally abusive about it. Play along. Or ignore it. The nastiness is uncalled for.

Surely 'withdrawing your consent to be taxed' would be tantamount to 'giving up your citizenship' which would then surely place a question mark over your right to live in the area encompassed by the body politic and the community that creates it?

he made the suggestion sometime back...I was ok with it,, I'm only a part timer for another week.
I do think it is a chance to look at subjects unknown to me.

Maybe. If you feel that way, pick up a rifle and defend your rights.

FMF's notorious "victim card" has been pulled out once again.The same little game you played w/Scriabin.
Unbelievable!
You by far have been nastier to myself and countless others around here more than any poster I have ever run across.
So save the theatrics.

It seems you are playing a rather odd 'victim card' all of your own here. As I said, play along with the "Other than U.S. Month". Or ignore it. There's no compulsion. Your nastiness is uncalled for.

No; the consent of the governed means the consent of the majority, not necessarily the consent of everybody.

What exactly is citizenship now days FMF?
