"Divers from a local scuba club have discovered an enormous underwater gold deposit that could be worth billions of Denares in one of Miencraft's lakes."

Seeing as how a quarter of a troy ounce of gold is exactly 50 Denares because we're on the gold standard, that's a loooooooooooooooot of gold.

Oh great, the right-wingers in Switzerland have won power

Tossed a link to the forums into the WFE.

Law Archives technically went there too but this is more direct.

Also no I'm definitely not abusing the ability to change the WFE.

Totally not.

Nope.

Not at all.

all of them? I'm pretty sure we're gonna have to wait for BC to be counted before all votes are counted

My prediction:

1.Liberal

2.Conservative

3.NDP

4.Green

5.BQ

But the best vote is for the LPC

if you live in Canada, vote for the Libertarians! If you can't spoil it. Don't allow Trudeau and his cronies to enact his Keynesian crap. Don't believe a word of those snake oil salesmen, who "promise" to end FPTP, but really just want to take the place of the Cons.

With any hope (economics-wise) the Conservatives will save themselves with the inland provinces. They have a shot still.

Unsurprisingly, research continues to support my beliefs as a minarchist - that the best government is the one that governs least, and the minimal state continues to be the ideal.

At least the Libertarian Party of Canada got their highest number of votes in a federal election. Always seek the silver lining.

Hello question...

What Ideology if any combines a belief in:

-Free Markets

-Individual rights

-Gradual Change

-Decentralization

and

-Making government more voluntary, accountable and transparent

You forgot to mention the tag raid against you. Odd how it seems to have gone unmentioned on your RMB. ;)

Nice to see that your dear friends the IRU share our view that REATO's a liability to be a part of, though. Just something for those thinking about joining it to consider.

Unrelated, I decided to magically change Miencraftic Presidential terms to be five years long with a maximum of two, and that the Miencraftic constitution says that one was held in 2012 to determine the first President, and that every election thereafter is every five years starting in 2015.

So that means that there's a Miencraftic Presidential Election next month. Gonna say right now that it's rigged and that I already know who wins, but some other Libertatemites may be able to sneak candidates in...

Anyways, I'll be simulating an election next month, and whoever wins that becomes Vice President of Miencraft, so if anyone wants to have someone from their nation have the shiny title of Traoeror macht Vinchiy dahn Manetkhraan, you should totally send that guy over. Basically that just means that you get to have me make a character in Skyrim to your specifications, take a screenshot of them, and then slap that picture onto my factbook where a guy from your nation is immortalized for five years.

Indeed. With IRU pulling out, REATO is well and truly dead. It was dead before, but with three members left that include Hyatt Islands (dead) and Conservative League (apparently unstable as hell), it's the nail in the coffin for this side of the game.

The fact that Pevvania thinks that taking out The Cannabis Communists is at any level a victory and not completely embarrassing (the only native CTEd before the raid concluded) is hysterical.

Right-Winged Nation wrote:The raid was crushed very quickly actually

No kidding, buddy. That's what a tag raid is. It was still humiliating enough that your dear General Pevvania issued a region-wide order not to talk about it on the RMB.

Whoopsie. :)

There is no official right-libertarian wing to the party, or the CFN for that matter. We have a few right wing and conservative members, though.

Today, I debated my Christian friend who happens to be a staunch Keynesian. I had him read this analysis of anarcho-capitalism, as it relates to the teachings of the Bible: http://vftonline.org/VFTfiles/thesis/summary01.htm If you're Christian like myself, I encourage you to take a look at it. It made my friend reconsider his political views.

The vast majority of minarchists pass me off. 90% of the time they espouse racist sentiments and want the government to spend even more money on the border war instead of just regulating it, just because muh jerbs.

I'm not familiar with many true minarchists who actually believe this. The Freeman is quite voluntaryist but also heavily minarchist, and they're strong advocates of open borders. Even many culturally conservative minarchists favour free immigration.

I think the main reason many conservative politicians promote such protectionist policies has nothing to do with economics, which they probably believe is on the side of the free traders - it's because the Hispanic vote is heavily tilted towards the Democratic Party. But with all of the inflammatory language used by Republicans against them, can you blame them?

Oh Lordy. The Libertarian Republic is conservative click bait garbage.

Nah, Reason is pretty open borders. They bring in commentators from a wide range of views. For example, that lone 'libertarian Democrat' who supported Obama.

Indeed; the greatest threat a demagogue can ever face is an audience, and free speech ensures it.

But I see where our establishment is coming from. It's not so much the ideas espoused as it is the execution that is so rude and bothersome, and I suppose taking action against it is a preferable alternative - to all parties - than getting the moderators involved so they can do the same.
