Vim is better than emacs
This is seldom an important point with computers being more powerful now. The two practically run at the same speed on a decently new computer.

Hitler Wasn't THAT Bad.
While his intentions were, in his own mind, beneficial to the whole of humanity, in reality his methods were beyond unethical. It's more likely that he had some kind of mental issue or a distorted sense of reality than that he was a genuinely awful person.

Taxation is not theft.
There are those who argue that government as a whole is not a necessity, let alone taxation. I certainly see where you're coming from.

Had George Bush not involved the U.S. in Middle Eastern affairs, the September 11 attacks or a similar event may not have happened.
While Middle Eastern extremists may not have liked the U.S. way of life, they were not threatened by it directly until we practically declared war. This is what primarily led to their offensive attempt.

Postmortem organ donation should be opt-out
While people would have the option to avoid such a thing (for example, for religious or ethical purposes), it would have a much higher chance of saving another's life.

Barring an active epidemic, a person should be allowed to refuse vaccination for themselves and those they are responsible for and to not be punished by society.
They are risking contributing to the cause of such an epidemic. It could be avoided in the first place by people being responsible with their health and getting vaccinated to begin with.

Donald Trump is the president the U.S deserves
This is not true of a lot of Americans, especially those who value foreign ties and progressive/liberal agendas.

There is no "Meaning of Life"
There is no definitely proven divine purpose for our existence, allowing all individuals to create purposes of their own.

Taxation is not theft.
Taxation is necessary for a government to function effectively, which in turn allows the government to serve its people. In short, taxes are payment for governmental services we otherwise take for granted.

Irrelevant Conclusion
Taxation is not theft.
A thief steals for his/her own gain and does not give back to the victim; a government gives back to those taxed in the form of a police force and other humanitarian necessities, schools, and roads. A government cannot give necessary services without some form of income.
