Region: Libertatem
I believe that we cannot suppress members of this region, but they should not be exempt from consequences.
Post self-deleted by Liberosia.
Would you please specify the consequences?
If someone reports you to me as offensive, the Board votes on your banjection as a troll. If you break site rules, I call the mods.
All right, so does "offensive" include lewd conduct?
To a point. If it gets too explicit, it is against site rules.
I indeed believe the military side might be the most difficult.
Humpy, will you pass legislation regarding the "Humpy After Dark"?
No.
Darn.
How are you going to battle NLP's very strong campaigning?
Fun fact: the Constitution indirectly permits the President power to eject anyone, including annoying people.
Hmm, that's interesting

Semi-related: I'm still looking for people to bury bodies for me and whatnot, so if anyone's interested there's a little link in the IA factbook.
Yes. Interesting.

Anything by Rothbard.
Alternatively, you may want to look into David Friedman and Samuel Konkin's works for a more utilitarian outline.
Meh. I'll stick to my Hayek, Milton, and Nozick thank you. *raspberry's anarchists*
One word: Rothbard. He's literally the intellectual inventor of anarcho-capitalism. I'd recommend 3 books:
-For a New Liberty: The Libertarian Manifesto
-The Ethics of Liberty
-Man, Economy and State
I've only read Ethics, but all three are essential reading for those seeking to gain a complete understanding of anarcho-capitalism.
Ethics alone makes my brain hurt.
Post by Zeouria suppressed by a moderator.
Rothbard was an incredible thinker. His economic mind was nothing short of genius. It's his philosophical beliefs that put a lot of people off. Henry Hazlitt once said something similar to this. There's a lot that I disagree with him on. He may have had some racist leanings, and had a tendency to write scathing attacks about other figures in the libertarian movement, such as Milton Friedman and Ronald Reagan, which really did no good for the cause. But nevertheless, everyone should read his works.
I prefer Proudhon, but he had some interesting ideas. I'd buy physical copies of those books, but you can still read them for free online at Mises.org.

So I just read about red & black cafe. I want to open yellow & black cafe, who's in?
My business premise; we ARE NOT vegan. Its time to crush red & black under the weight of the free market xD
So, under the law if no one announces candidacy for the Board, the incumbents stay. So, at least one more person needs to step up and the sitting members need to make a decision.
Dammit, just missed the top ten for lowest tax burden! Congratulations to Miencraft and Lack.
Board Elections
Seat 1: Godisdead
Seat 2: Vacant
Seat 3: Right-Winged Nation
Seat 4: Hallo Island
Seat 5: Muh Roads
Well, when it comes to collectivist ideologies, I find mutualism quite fascinating.
Everybody loves Muh Roads

I am 16th I guess my Atheism, drug and Tobacco taxes are high since 8 don't have an income tax and their has been no issue on corporate taxes.
Gay Equality has been ravaged by Nazis!
Who will take seat number 2?
I hate Gabriel Possenti so much. So many things I could have #1 in but don't anymore.
Should REATO get involved? It would certainly help us gain allies.

I shall run for Seat Two.
Woohoo!!! CI!
My revised proposed cabinet:
VP- Miencraft
IA- The New United States
FA- Baphometus
MA- Pevvania
AG- Amarican Empire
Interesting.
Well, I guess I'll just have to run for Chairman of the Board, then.
TNUS? Good choice.
Liberation of [region=Gay Equality] is complete!
I thought so.
Every Board member is running for Chairman. All are eligible, you don't have to announce your candidacy.
The difference is that I'm serious about it.
Muh roads is ambitious so we might see a stand off between Ci and muh roads for chairmanship.
I can work with either.
So, Since we have no competition for the Board, do you guys want to get started with the Presidential elections?
Is everyone on the board in a separate party?
I think this stands true in most cases :p
Nope.
Seat 1- I
Seat 2- ACOP
Seat 3- RLP
Seat 4- CHUM
Seat 5- RLP
You have no idea.
I think godisdead is a member of the RLP.
Unless he switched, I don't know.
That's what I'm going with, if he says otherwise we'll rearrange the caucuses.
Whoever is Chairman next term can do all of that. I ain't got time for it.
We're handling it lol
ACOP will caucus with the majority.

Indeed. I was impressed when I found out about the successful joint defense operation, and I'm pleased that both regions mobilized so quickly.
Post by Zeouria suppressed by a moderator.
Indeed. Those who participated in the operation should be commended for their heroism, and for once I would like to extend my thanks to the site moderators as well. This was not only a military defeat for the fascists, but a moral defeat as well.
Yes, there were some minor mistakes in the tactics, but the mission was a success and I am looking into a possible battle decoration for Funkytopia.
Yes, my new flag is similar to one of Pev's campaign flags. And yes, I stole it. Deal with it.
What is everyone's opinion on on Ferguson?
Post by Zeouria suppressed by a moderator.
I think it's just a lot of confused people that are really only still rioting because they know that they're immune to the law because they're black and the police are generally white.
I agree.
Post by Zeouria suppressed by a moderator.
Woot woot!!!
This issue kind of hits close to home, considering, well, it hits close to home. I consider myself a St. Louisan.
This.
This especially.
This conflict has gotten way out of hand as a result of the publicity it has been given. No one benefits from the rioting except for those with a financial public stake in this. I blame the local media for fueling the fire; they have crossed a number of ethical boundaries in order to get a better story. One local news station covering the incident showed precisely where the policeman's house and neighborhood were, address and everything! This is worse than the time that same station sent undercover reporters to public schools, unidentified, to "test school security" - that fiasco resulted in a lockdown in which children feared for their lives! The local media, and to some extent the media outside the local sphere, has gone too far this time.
I propose that if no challengers step up for the Board by tomorrow morning, we start Presidential Elections tomorrow.
This is agreeable.
Sounds reasonable to me.
Great job to everybody involved in the GE mission, props especially to Funkytopia and the Vice President for reacting so quickly.
Don't forget our friends in UCR. They deserve props for getting their military together to help despite having just reorganized it.

And I have no problem with the peaceful protesters.
My problem is with the few who think that their being black somehow grants them immunity to the law when the law is being enforced by whites. These few contaminate the entire purpose of the protest and make everyone involved look bad.
If they want to protest, they can go ahead and protest. I don't care (and nobody else should, honestly, except the people they're protesting against). If they start getting violent, then I start to care because that's kind of illegal and if they're not going to take responsibility for violating the law, and instead go "Oh, this white cop shot this black kid for no reason", then they get no sympathy from me.
Indeed. Some rioters aren't playing the race card, though; it's enough that these allegations of police brutality in general are intended to dissuade police from acting against them. Either way, it's a severe problem, and I have no sympathy for those who resort to violence, vandalism, and violations of the rights of their fellow man.
I am more angry about Eric Holder's involvement. The AG, who is the top law enforcement officer, is sent to investigate law enforcement officers and encourage criminals to bastardize the Justice System and demonize the police. Shameful.
I think this is a racist generalization.
Ugh.
It is. Unfortunately, it seems to work both ways; many of the rioters are sort of...exploiting that.
It's true, African Americans generally have more problems with whites the Mexicans or asians. Right now people are complaining that the police are not diverse. Why does it matter the police are a public force meant to serve you why does it matter if they are white?
They have had more problems in the past. Is that an excuse for rioting, looting, and instilling violence? The police are not without fault, but the criminals of Ferguson do not care about the kid that got shot. They are using an opportunity to break the law and cause violence through looting and such. Anyone that speaks against them is a racist, any cop that tries to stop them is an oppressive monster that is committing a hate crime. They are sworn to protect the law and those who are on top demonize and reprimand them.
Indeed. These riots in Ferguson are, unfortunately, multi-faceted. No one's exactly sure what it's all about, but each person will probably give you a different clue.
Greetings friends! Have people of any nation claimed Finland and Sweden yet?
I haven't even come close. They're too badass, especially Sweden.
well, if not, may we?
Be wary. I think they may still have manly vikings in the Libertatemverse.
We are descendants of Vikings. How would we fear our own kind? Make it so!
Cops are racist by definition, and if you disagree your a racist. Also, your a racist.
If you point out that I should have used you're in place of your, you're a racist aswell.
are you Nordic guy?
I have
Hi all. Sorry for the recent inactivity, I have been at band camp.
Alright, no one has stepped up. Pev or Liberosia, can you please start the poll?
Humpheria (Independent) versus Northern Prussia (Libertarian Imperialist Party)
Never though Id see that poll without TTA...and since he left, we have been less active.
Hopefully, he'll be back soon.
The board has been moving.
Assembled with Dot's Region Saver.
