OK, explain how you came to these conclusions. What are your arguments? Do you have anything to say other than name calling and baseless assertions?

Why don't you try answering my questions before I waste further time with yours
How do you deal with people that won't contribute to the common defense
How do you deal with people that disagree with what constitutes property
How do you deal with people that disagree with what acceptable behavior is
You can't because libertarian philosophy doesn't have answers, and saying "We do what we do now" violates the non aggression philosophy.

People who don't want to contribute just dont. We have that problem already, so unless you have an argument as to how it would be significantly worse, this is irrelevant.
Same answer for the next two questions. You are posing these issues as if we don't have them to deal with already and they will somehow be brand new problems that will only exist if the libertarian philosophy is implemented.
Again, this is your losing argument that "things will be really bad if you have your way"
