You're a traveler, walking alone through a forest carrying two hamburgers, one of which you do not need or even want, when you come across a hungry man sitting on a log. The man is starving to death, he's about to die from lack of food. You are aware that if you give him your unwanted hamburger, he'll live. But if you pass him by without giving him food, he will most likely starve to death. His life is in your hands.

Now here is the question: If you decide not to share your food with the hungry man, and the man does die, should the government have the authority and power to prosecute and convict you for the death of the hungry man? - (Y/N)


This is the one-question Libertarian Stress Test. It pits liberty against the government's duty to protect innocent life. I am interested in your answer and your reasoning.


I have edited this question from it's original version.

Just a question but if one day i were go to visit a muslim country...

As a non-muslim i should be able to freely and openly practice my religion of christianity. I should be able to ask their govenment to build a church for me. I should be able to ring my church bells aloud! My children should be able to proudly wear crucifixes in school. And along my other fellow christians we should be able dress down and not cover up (as our bible doesnt say we should) We should be able to express ourselves and indeed have freedom of speech, we should be able pork or beef freely and special provison in place so we can do this, Councils should bend to my every whim based on my religion etc...

If only this would be the case! You just know it wouldnt be in fact you'd probably forced to leave! So now convince me, is Islam (and Muslim states) truly tolerant of other religions?

If you are wondering, then just take a look around Enngland and you will see the evidence of non muslim tolerance!

We all know that the 9/11 perpetrators used the USAF/NORAD war games as cover, to mask the hijacked planes, create confusion and to delay the emergency response. It also turns out that the first commercial flight of the Concorde after the July 2000 crash was on September 11, and the supersonic plane was over the Atlantic as the attacks on the towers were taking place. Was this a coincidence or does it somehow play into the theory of who was behind the 9/11 atrocities?

I include Democrat presidencies, it's just they didn't make it quite as obvious.
