    Free vodka or beer you have to pay for? Personally I'll stick with cookies.

    Just ignore the suffering of generations of Russian peasants. They know exactly what vodka did. Also Capitalism has whiskey.

    Damn, I love scotch. I suppose I'm with capitalism then. Sorry communism, but I don't like very much sweet things.

    Ah, you've finally found out the stiff arm to 90% of generic attacks on libertarianism.

    I was wondering when you'd find out about minarchism, since everyone always hits you with "ROADS MAN, ROADS".

    I don't know what you mean about roads, but Demondaze always always bugs me about gold or some shit whenever we debate libertarianism.

    One of the side effects is short term memory loss I suppose.

    That makes me remember a day in Mar del Plata, when some buddies broke a rum bottle. Sad sad day.

    Haha no I'm not high, I just don't remember anyone ever using roads as an argument against libertarianism. I suppose private roads might be a bad thing. But I am not strict or extreme in my political views.

    So, I don't really get libertarianism. You guys seem to understand that our current system is broke, and that wallstreet is corrupt and all, but your solution to the problem is to give unlimited power to the very people who are corrupting our current one, which will somehow make things better.

    It also confuses me that you guys talk so much about liberty and freedom, and yet believe in literally legalizing slavery. It's kind of hypocritical.
