Anything that doesn't really belong in the other threads goes here. This way, we don't wind up creating frivoles topics, such as the "Why I'm going to go Postal on my university" thread. this is a place to chat, or for non political discussions that dont belong anywhere else.

Sorry I haven't been around much. Got a new job, ect. I'll attempt to rectify it. Besides, the political aspects of society have been at least relatively quiet as of late...I'm sure this place will boom as soon as something big comes up. *Grin*

nekogal2 btw i have a friend who votes third party,but she is in the constitounal party. The "Constitution Party" is a bunch of far-right, religious-authoritarian Christians. They are anything but libertarian.

Angsty Shem nekogal2 btw i have a friend who votes third party,but she is in the constitounal party. The "Constitution Party" is a bunch of far-right, religious-authoritarian Christians. They are anything but libertarian. Think she was just trying to conjure a sense of comradery from third-party voters, having common enemies makes strange bedfellows right? Such a thing seems to exist between Cobb and Badnarik, at least.

Hey, sorry I havent been on in a while, but I;ve been busy with work, and trying to make the american public give a damn about the governments recent actions. There is nothing more frustrating than telling people about the new eminant domain ruling, or the illegalization of medical marijana in the entire U.S., and having them brush it off!
There is one person I've talked to that cares, but his idea is to start a full blown rebellion against the government and bring it down. He thinks that violent, armed opposition is the only thing that will force the government to give us back our freedoms and rights. I mentioned that Libertarians do not believe in violence, except in self defense. He stated that the government has used the war on terror and to war on drugs to attack the American people's rights and liberties, and therefore, rebellion WAS self defense. I don't quite believe that, but I thought I would check in and see what some of my fellow Libertarians think. Is rebellion an attempt to use force to achieve political goals, and thus a breaking of the Pledge, or can it be justified as self defense against a government that has repeatedly attacked our most basic liberties? Any thoughts or comments would be welcome.

i think that a seperatist movement, or a secession, would be alot more justified. if a geographical area was more or less under the same politcal persuasion different from the rest of the country. but we have quite a diverse range of opinions, cultures, etc. (melting pot, remember?) so for one group (although i doubt the sucess of one) to coup the government for their own ideology and ignore any other opinion would be totally irrational. everyone you just liberated would now oppose your ideas even more because you didn't give them a chance to argue your ideas down. if you can't shoot down your political enemies with rational conversation however, maybe speaking their own language, force, is the only way to go.

Anyway guys, it looks like you now have a resident economist in training

to all the people in new orleans....I feel bad on how the government has treated you. The force of hurricane katrina is nothing compared to the destructiveness the govenrment has given you. Treating you like cattle when it came to the superdome and trying to evacuate you like cattle. Destroying those old people's liberties by making them prove that the medicine they have on them is theirs. it's just as bad as the TSA(like molesting people? WORK FOR THE TSA) You know, the TSA can molest a person and call it "to protect others." And you can't really object to it either.
