Region: Libertatem
Just the opposite for me, I like Colbert, Stewart not so much.
And part german, and part russian, and part australian, and part chilean, and part antartican, and part elflord, and part socialist.
I'm not sure what else as my Dad's adopted...so...yeah.
I'm also not part Socialist.
Part socialist, or regular Bernie Sanders, "what difference, at this point, does it make?"
Italian over here, love being an italian
I'm a mutt.. bunch of European ancestry. Also very little native American, Apsaalooké or Crow. Just found out the tribe recently.. Been looking into my genealogy lately.
I'll not a Bernie.
I'ma full-blooded Libertaten!
Minus being a warmonger.
Everybody is a little Native American now a days. Probably not me, since I basically come straight from Europe through direct immigrants, but yeah.
Native Americans weren't genocided, they were fvcked to death.
They also killed each other, which was hilarious. I like how Squanto was painted as this nice friendly indian when in all reality he actually killed other native american groups he didn't like
If someone from DK or NK came in and said where they were from would you let their puppet stay?
Classic liberal emotions fueling an argument...
Also...I think NK practices my worst fear...

When can I tell them my nation has no standardized currency?
Ah well, like hell my government isn't going to regulate that stuff anyway. Like we already don't keep track of our own, why should I care about foreigners?

That moment a citizen in North Korea says you want more government than them.
Stupid Anarcho-Commies
Stop hanging around there, they will rot your brain out
I'm simply engaging in some simple and intellectual discussions. Nothing more.
Never say intellectual and North Korea in the same sentence. That is like saying Obama and American together. Just doesn't work.
What are your thoughts on Christopher Cantwell?
Happy childrens day. :)
WTF, just WTF. Who telegramed that to you?
The bar uptop said that.
Nobody knows who this guy is? C'mon, Minerva, you must have plenty to say about him.
Bernie Sanders up in the polls for President....... go!
Economic illiterate that will hopefully divide the Democratic Party and win the nomination before he gets absolutely slaughtered by the electorate. Rick Santorum could beat that guy. Rick. F*cking. Santorum.
An idiotic Democratic Socialist who falls for the trap of the 'Nordic Model' despite its high taxes, low economic freedoms and heavy regulations.
And the best standard of living in the world... oh thats terrible.

Define standard of living?
I disagree. The Scandinavian countries have traditionally free market economies. They became extremely prosperous due to their embrace of economic freedom, which in many ways is retained today. They have low regulatory burdens and score very highly on economic freedom. They're also not as bad as they used to be on taxes. Their corporate taxes are very low, as their economies are pro-free trade, and are ranked highly in international tax competitiveness.
Their welfare states are a huge problem, which has been evident in the general decline of these economies over the past five decades. But a few, especially Sweden, have rebounded by reforming their broken government programs. If you compare the Nordic nations, you'll find a very strong negative correlation between increased government spending and lower growth. Sweden cut government spending as a percentage of GDP from 70% to 50%, and economic growth soared, reversing a long-time decline.
The Iron Lady sums up my thoughts on the ridiculous fascination with "wealth inequality": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdR7WW3XR9c
I've never heard a single valid reason why wealth/income inequality matters. Economies with bigger wealth gaps usually have poor people who are far, far better off than their counterparts in more "equal" countries. In regards to America, social mobility is high, the bottom income quintiles have seen their wealth grow enormously and everyone's gotten richer.
A rising tide lifts all boats. The leftist solution is to sink all boats to the bottom, so that everyone is at an equally sh-tty level.
The way I consider a good way to measure standard of living is to cross reference Human Development index, Quantile Income Ration and Gini Income Value.
And income inequality matters because with that comes health, educational, crime, political inequalities too. Additionally with money comes power and the people with that money and power are responsible for things such as wars, environmental damage and persecution of minority groups.
Closing the wealth inequality gap is easily done, and actually would help improve the economy more than the current "trickle down" belief that we hold. It reduces economic movement, but the UK (where I live) is already one of the worst countries in the world for economic mobility. Success can stil be financially rewarding, but should not be so rewarding that it destroys the environment, for example.
What part of the UK do you live in?
North East Scotland, Why?
Yes or No to independence?
General Pevvania also lives in the UK. I thought it would be cool if you were neighbors or something. As an American, I believe that all Europeans live in the same suburb.
If there is anyone who is ruining the libertarian movement more than the Tea Fundies and racists, its Chris Cantwell. *facepalm*
We need more Molyneuxes and less Cantwells.
I was a Yes voter.
Yay!
Where are you from?
America (Georgia)
Why did you support the independence movement then?
We're 'Muricans. We love it when people become independent from big bad Britain.
I wanted Scotland back on the map and Seperate from the U.K.
I believed Scotland could survive without Britain, and since there was a movement to independence I supported it as I usually do with nations like that.
Even though it was a primarily socialist movement for social equality and wealth distribution?
So? If they want to do that, what's the problem?
They would, after all, have become independent and be able to decide whatever the hell they want, yes? So why not let them decide to do that if that's what they want to do?
Yeah. Because it's independence.
Well, Scotland did vote to stay with the UK, though it was very slim.
Wait, they dont?
Has anybody seen Doomsday? That's about like what Scotland would be like if it gained independence.
UK is not really a part of Europe. It's almost an American State now.
That is a bold claim...

Obama's executive order isn't that bad actually. Nothing unrealistic or overdone.
Final straw. Get. Out.
With all due respect and the incapability to make you leave.
It's not. I was surprised.
Sup Eric Holder, what made you decide to come back?
The end of a very busy and demanding and honestly, difficult time of my life.
Coo, it's just that you said you were probably never coming back, ever, so I was a bit surprised
How so?
He's kinda hung up trying to get into college I think.
He said he was having computer troubles in the IRU.
So who's running for what next week?
Mediterranean=Not running
I'm running for seat 3
Praise Jesus!
I'm busy between planning the Amendments, The Pokitical Crowd Replacement, my Internal Affairs department and some CFN bills.
I have no chance of running effectively.
Bold- What is relevant to us.
Italic- What is not. You can be involved in other regions, we don't even have to be your main region. But please, stop trying to make this your own little CFN colony. I ask that you stop posting from there, if you want to be involved, then be involved. I'm sure that they don't care about our affairs, we don't care about theirs. We are not CFN, they are not Libertatem. They don't even like us. You can be involved with whomever you want, but please, stop.
Oh I'm so sorry Humph.
/sarcasm
I was simply explaining why I was too busy to run and surprise surprise CFN contributed to it.
I also apologize that I try to do things in a simpler fashion. Using one account makes access to both regions quicker and easier, but it's apparent you want nothing to do with them so I'll make sure they understand that fact.
Nothing is felt here that is not a reciprocation of things previously said here. I feel like I made it abundantly clear that you can do whatever you want wherever you want. But the fact is, that the majority of the people here just don't care what you do in CFN. It has absolutely no effect on us. We did not ask for a rundown.
I will defend my seat
Well Humpy, you don't have Eric Holder in your name now. It's an improvement.

Btw guys is there any particular reason that Pevvania TG'd me, "Get active again or else".
This is both a threat and also funny since he is in no position of power that would allow him to do anything about it.
I dunno.
This poll:
http://www.nationstates.net/region=antista#poll
I do think that you have a habit of conveniently having threatening telegrams from Pev every other day when no one else does.
I'll be running for Seat 3 as the ACOP candidate.
I will defend my spot
I will run for Seat 2 as CI is inactive.
Calm ya jimmies, just a bit of banter! :P
Well, I am the incumbent Manager of Military Affairs.
You'd better get active again or I'm going to put you in the hole.
No way man, that's my hole.
Fine.
You're going in the hole, RRRG gets the pit.
