    Bullshit argument. It's the same as move to Zimbabwe or Ethiopia or whatever. Anyway, I guess you're OK with the things I brought up? Liberals are so ridiculous.

    Dude, can you shorten that signature? It's like half a page long and tedious to scroll past.

    And not at all original, either. It's been the battlecry of every WFtarian since the beginning. I wish at least one of them would get some new material. :sigh:

    Libertarianism is also very Darwinesque; less safety rules and regulations because there is less "government intrusiveness", which will result in more accidents, including deaths and lost of free-for-all dumping of toxic waste...
    Talking about a not well thought out idea/philosophy...

    Every toddler is a libertarian. "Gimme, gimme, gimme, mine, mine, MINE!"

    Whether humanoids take so long to reach maturity because they have the luxury of the tribe to protect them through this prolonged infancy, or whether the prolonged infancy evolved out of the realization that "Hey, I can get away with this shit and they'll still feed me!" is the real question. :mystery:

    Not at all cholo, you are wrong (again).

    I don't know much about those countries. I do know a lot about notable Libertarian paradise Mexico, however. Some of the lowest tax rates in the world, even lower tax collection rate, literally a non existent government, free market with almost zero regulations, the government doesn't give two shits what you do so there is almost no government intrusion. Paradise.

    But. Nothing works. People get sick, injured and there's terrible treatment. It literally smells like shit everywhere you go. The corruption is off the charts, you think American politicians are bad they've got nothin on Mexico. Gangs run amok and leave a dozen headless torsos on the side of highways like it ain't no thang. Things like theft and fraud are outrageous. Half finished houses everywhere with rebar sticking out of them make you think you're in Gaza or something. Any asshole can just set up a food cart on the street and get people sick. You can't even drink water out of the fucking tap.

    But still, paradise because Libertarian!

    I have no idea what things you brought up.

    From where I'm sitting, you're the hippie liberal wanting to live in a 3rd world shithole where nothing works. I'll stay here in the first world and enjoy the fruits of capitalism.

    Note I said "WFtarian." Pseudolibertarians like Canoeboy upthread. That's not you at all. ;)
