Two. Spoiler One to screw it in, and another to compliment them on how it'll help them see the diamond smugglers in their ward.

Don't give a fuck about the rule change; only one of these is a lie.
1. I've been stabbed. 2. I've had sex with a guy. 3. I have a very close relationship with my grandma.

War secures resources from poor countries and stimulates the economy due to the military industrial complex. It's only a bad deal for everyone else.
It doesn't stimulate the economy, it only stimulates the military-industrial complex itself and, obviously, the government as it has a justification to push more "security" legislation down our throats.

Things aren't too bad at the moment actually, I have to go and see my mother in september which I'm sure will be... 'fun' ._. But assuming that doesn't end in a homicide, things aren't too bad.
You seem to be assuming that it ending in a homicide would be a negative.

I'm marginally disappointed with my A-level results and am uncertain about whether or not I'll make it into a University of my choice. I have work to do before I begin the new year at college, but I just can't be fucking bothered, and my parents refuse to get off my fucking back over all manner of things from getting a job to my social and private life. And, to top it all off, my counselor wants me to see a proper psychologist, I have no idea how that'll impact my future aspirations and I don't really give a fuck enough to go, but nonetheless I'm still unsure.

libertarianism is the advocacy of a government that is funded voluntarily and limited to protecting individuals from coercion and violence
Newsflash, when left with no government over-watch, industry will take advantage of the people they employ. We have corporations like Apple, Microsoft, Nike, etc. doing business in 3rd world countries and workers are treated like shit, get little pay, and work over-extended hours. That's the result of allowing free-trade: Countries with shit governments don't give a single fuck about their people. Libertarianism is about protecting the people and I take that as placing a necessary evil in place to do so
Maybe if the world was a perfect place and this shit never existed then I'd be in support of free-trade. But the moral obligations of the people and the environment currently say otherwise
Ah, that's good. We're getting somewhere. However, the benefits of free-trade actually mostly accrue to the poorest. It should be said more often that trade, not aid, is what helps developing countries. It's fine if you want to protect third-world workers - we all should want to - but low wages is all they can offer. They don't have the infrastructure or institutional stability, and the consequences of protectionism would be to take the jobs from under their feets. Shit, look at China, capitalism and free-trade has brought their population out of poverty - poverty has actually been reduced by 50% globally. Say what you want, but I've already told you - and sourced - the fact that the benefits of free-trade vastly outweigh the costs, and no matter your moral sensibilities, a sweatshop is superior to unemployment or subsistence living to the people in third-world nations.

In his wisdom, word hath been spoke of the good of free trade. We must trust in the Paul's word and do away with tariffs and the private auto import ban.
Krugman? I was quite surprised how capitalist he is, to be honest. I used to have a horrible bias against him.

So because I support one policy, that means I'm not Libertarian? Lol k. Guess that means Democrat Mark Begich isn't a Democrat because he strongly supports the 2nd Amendment and is life-long member of the NRA
Well actually it's a collection of potential policies like tariffs, subsidies, et cetera. I knew you'd say that eventually; "It's only one discrepancy". But it isn't, it's the consequences that count too, and they are many. By not supporting free trade you're harming taxpayers, consumers, workers and firms both domestic and foreign. I get that you think jobs should be protected or whatever, but since when did a libertarian think that was the government's job? Since when does any libertarian think the government has the right to meddle in the economy is such a disruptive and distortionary way? Especially in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The implication is that, essentially, the government owns the economy instead of the people interacting in it. That some collection of individuals acting as a monolithic institution have the right to limit our choices and essentially force our hand. Governments don't act, only individuals do, and you're essentially saying bureaucrats are better placed to make economic decisions over consumers and producers. Not only is it intellectually offensive to anybody with the basest sort of political awareness, it's implicitly anti-libertarian.

Will you cry if I don't?
Not really, I'm just trying to make you see that you pretty much as close as you can be to being wrong, at least on protectionism. Corporation tax is admittedly a trickier issue. I don't care if you agree with me or not - hell, I don't care if you don't want to debate me - I'm just demonstrating how essentially un-libertarian you are despite your assertions.

I don't really have any fears.
I can get anxious if I feel that I'm losing control or my influence over a situation, which is why I kill every spider I come across.
If I had to name a "fear" that I have, probably heights.

Humans need an exterior threat in order to make the best of any situation. The revival of the USSR, if we don't blow each other up with nukes of course, would only mean good things for the rate of technological advancement.
I'd rather see that from the economy. I don't want the government to have another reason to shove some "security" legislation down our fucking throats.
