At least you have the right to access those services, provided by your society, which is why you have taxes to pay.
This still leaves me paying for them. Manditory payments, I might add, or it shall be a bright orange jumpsuit for my sorry hindquarters.
You may not feel you have a debt or obligation to it, but it is there, making sure that you arent enslaved or eaten by bears.
Wasn’t that feeling of debt or obligation the whole topic? Because, I
did notice the conspicuous lack of bears.
You seem to think that you haven't benefited from being part of a society whatsoever except for what your parents have done for you.
I never said that I never benefitted. I said that I do not owe them anything. I benefit from the grocery store down the street, but, so soon as I pay in full, I consider my debts cleared. The store also benefits from me in this exchange.
I suppose, then, that you've never made any personal relationships or benefited from any social or economic infrastructure whatsoever in a way that you did not directly pay for yourself. Tell me, did you and your parents live in the woods or something? If you really can't see why the human society around you, and the fruits of its labors (over the course of millennia, no less) have benefited you in any way, I have no idea what to say to you. That is just such a ridiculous concept that I don't know how to describe how ridiculous it is.
I have formed personal relationships, but, unless I am the only person alive who’s friendship is not worth anything, those are mutually beneficial too.
Even the very ideas and culture you've internalized into your brain contain a lot that your parents don't even know, much less have invented out of whole cloth themselves.
That is a good point. It does not kindle in me some obligation or whatever, but I
have had ocassion to absorb a rather interesting fact or two million, but, unless I got those facts by some means for which I did not pay — I need to think about that.
Does that mean I can sue society for the memes? Because they’re OVER 9000!
