My name is Lib, and I'm new here

[Libertarian]

A communist? Funny thing is, people assume that we're dire enemies, what with Libertarians tending toward fiscal conservatism and all. But actually, the heart of libertarianism is its noncoercion ethic. So long as all are volunteers, I have no problem with a communist collective. Not my cup of tea, but hey, to each his own.

Speaking of which...

And I don't like you cos you aren't gay

Maybe not. But if you're gay, that's just one aspect of you, one that doesn't scare me. I respect a man who's peaceful and honest (peace and honesty are the essence of libertarianism), and I don't begrudge his freedom to pursue his own happiness in his own way.

Well there goes another nail in the coffin of my theory that its possible to be a Libertarian without being a Objectivist. I was so hoping to prove myself right.

Well, "Objectivist" is a broad brush. One thing's for sure, proving it the other way around is easy enough. Rand hated libertarians. She scornfully called us "hippies of the right."

You do realise that calling yourself "Libertarian" means that there's going to be a really long and convoluted argument about your qualities?

Do I ever! My favorite are the absurd scenarios. I call them Giant Squids because one debator asked me once what libertarianism would do if giant squids were to arise from the ocean floor and present original title to all the property in the United States. The guy was dead serious.

Red...please don't subject Lib to your narcicism. Break him in slow...

That Giant squid thing is so hilarious. These guys are way more into navel gazing and purity tests than into thinking about what they really want to change in their daily life. what would be step 1, etc...

I understand that it's a tradition to start an "I'm new here" thread

actually, the tradition comes after the thread is made, as you can see


if we ever have the libertarian debate you should sign up. i'm supposed to judge.....

[David Floyd]

Well I thought he said he was becoming more libertarian lately?

Haha. Hmmm, thanks but I'm not really a communist at all. It's a "little" inside joke here, every European who votes for Labour, Green, Social-Democrat or any other left wing party is called a "Eurocom", abreviation of a European Communist. Apparantly the rigth-wingers here think it's offensive or something.

I am something of a cross between Libertarian and Conservative.

[Faboba]

Yeah I tried to make one of those, but after I sewed the bits together they stayed dead..... odd that.......

Trying to inflate your worth?

Seeing as Bob Dornan is the only person that really uses Eurocom, consider him all 'right-wingers' seems to be a streach, eh?
