GUEST,smiler, "There's a subtle difference between holding up a bank, and withholding your taxes."

Perhaps you'd like to explain why the 'subtle differences' matter to this discussion, in which you claimed you aren't subject to laws and taxes? Assuming you're a citizen of a country that requires everyone to abide by laws and pay taxes, you're still going to be in trouble if you don't do these things.

GUEST, it's not so much that I'm profoundly ignorant of the facts. I wasn't precise. Most people likely would have understood, but to you, I was dangling a nice, juicy opportunity for you to call someone stupid. Here's a reprhase: A person may believe in communism and hate capitalism, but if they live in a capitalist country, they still have to work for capitalists, buy products and services sold by capitalists, thereby supporting capitalism and functioning as a capitalist.
