Im sure he does. I wouldn't know, or care to visit if there is. What's your point?

I wish the new country much luck. Such an experiment could be a very useful empirical data point for future discussion purposes.

There have been plenty of attempts before.

FALSE says the Great OP.

the point of this thread is to discuss a new country concept formed with intention by libertarians

all you did was post a link. No opinions or commentary. Maybe your intentions were pure, but judging by the post quality in this thread, it was just troll bait.

Don't play the game, then. If you don't post in such threads, you'll not be trolled.

No, you don't get it at all. Libertarianism would be great if it wasn't for it's proponents.

If you wanted freedom and liberty, and a smaller, more fiscally responsible government you would surely vote for it. Right?

Since you vote against that I have to assume it's not what you want despite all you might say here on INGO.

No basis in fact. You know nothing about how I vote. You didn't even comprehend the item you quoted. But, nice comment.

Not worried about it, like I said just having fun with it.

Let's just say that some of you give the impression that a libertarian utopia would be a constant witch hunt for the ideologically impure.

I do want to address these points. First off no one promised utopia, that's a weak strawman. Second, it's not about purity, it's about consistency. Republicans and democrats are all about "freedom for me, but not for thee". Libertarians support freedom for all even if means freedom to do things we don't like. That consistency is one of the things that differentiates us from the statist parties.

Based on the comment I quoted I most likely know how you vote, and actions speak louder than words.

You'd vote for Libertarians if only you liked them. Right?

I beleive you just proved Jamil's point

Meh, I have my own patch of woodland. Here my subjects are the squirrels, raccoons, birds and deer, it's good to be the king.

Didn't I read something somewhere on INGO to the effect that "... newbies should not take things personally and should develop a thick skin.."

I don't go out of my way to talk to politics outside of INGO, so I've only met and discussed politics with one Libertarian (that I'm aware of) in person. He was as obnoxious as many of those I've met online here. And no, I would not vote for you either.

A false choice. Because I did not vote FOR something does not mean I voted AGAINST it.

You know you don't control the raccoons...little mischievous, vandals.

One of the basic tenants of the obnoxious libertarian is that if you don't vote with them then you are a big government, freedom hating, liberty stealing, prohibitinist statist on par with Stalin.

The king dispenses justice on the unruly. This one was caught stealing my vegetables.
