Food stuff. People can eat whatever the hell they want and shouldn't be given shit about it.

there is no law against eating whatever u want, the moratorium on shit giving may run afoul of the 1st amendment tho

People who think a practice should be banned because they saw on TV that someone got hurt doing it will be made to wear armbands. (not sure if this is more libertariany or fascisty)

How absolute though? Are you fine with e.g. death threats? Libel/slander? Deliberate misinformation in journalism or education?
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Monday, 13 February 2012 19:29 (twelve years ago) link
people ought to be able to buy, sell and trade whatever they like in any manner they like, provided that the product's risks are clearly communicated.
prostitution should be legal. same with public nudity, at least in certain contexts.
people have a "basic human right" to endanger and even end their own lives.
otoh, i'm very much in favor of gun control.

so you're okay w/ flashers?
― iatee, Monday, 13 February 2012 19:37 (twelve years ago) link
death threats = not protected (as assault) when believable; Libel/slander and deliberate misinformation = can't be forbidden but can lead to civil liability; Nazi stuff = free and open (because easily contractible); Hate speech = see Nazi stuff but see also death threats; pornography and violent imagery = legal but access restrictable, might be evidence of prosecutable crimes committed in its production but is not in itself contraband.
The Nazi stuff seems to be the stickiest wicket where I live. It's dumb, because boneheads do use the "they ban our words because they fear our truths" arguments very effectively 'round here.

being 'libertariany' about zoning should really go in the fascisty thread -- basically you want to remove all local power over land use in favor of a larger body or plan.
it's less land-use restrictive but very politically restrictive, if that makes sense. nimby politics are like the most ancient kind of politics.
― Critique of Pure Moods (goole), Monday, 13 February 2012 19:46 (twelve years ago) link
no! that's why i made that "certain contexts" caveat.

yes and no. people wouldn't be as able to get away with "shocking" nudity, but yr tossers and bone flashers would probably still get a sick thrill. not on board w everybody gets to be naked all the time everywhere as social policy, at least not in the here and now. but i definitely think we would all benefit by substantially lowering the american prudishness threshhold.

i thought i was a 'free speech absolutist' until citizens united happened and suddenly every libertarian i was friends with was crowing on their FB or twitter about what a great victory it was for the 1st amendment.
not really 'libertariany' about drugs either; i don't think the country would be better off if you could buy crack cocaine and heroin at wal-mart.

Maybe, like, farm subsidies? For the most part, though, libertarians seem emotionally immature and willfully ignorant of history. Libertarianism would probably be really great in a perfect world with an enlightened populace, but I mean...
