You asserted the NAP is futile and doesn't work. That statement in and of itself is not an argument, it is an assertion, and an incorrect one. Nobody disagrees that I don't have a right to lock somebody else in my house if they haven't done anything to me.

I have no idea what you are trying to convey with your first two statements here.

As far as dealing with children, I guess you'll figure that out when you become a parent, if you ever do.

As far as dealing with people who have decided to settle the land... look, it's not difficult and you should REALLY try to make an effort to do some research before debating libertarianism... there are 3 core libertarian philosophies:

Self ownership - you own your own body, and nobody can tell you what you can or cannot do with it.

Property rights - same as self ownership, but also applies to your "stuff" (i.e. your land), so in your example, if someone comes on my land without my permission, I have the right to use force to repel them.

Non aggression principle - (you've already attempted to discredit this). It's simple: It is morally wrong to initiate force against another person. Everyone agrees with this. The only point of contention is that libertarians see the government the same as another individual.

If your argument is that we can't have government or taxes without force, then fine, but make that argument, not this "NAP is dead letter" nonsense.

You really make me believe in non aggression when you can't stop yourself from lashing out at people who disagree with you.

I'm sorry if you are offended by that, I'm just stating my opinion. Also, NAP doesn't apply to speaking and if you think I'm "lashing out" at you with my facts, logic, and arguments, then I won't waste my time typing all this stuff out in a vain attempt to give you some knowledge.
