In Topic: An Interesting Read on Libertarianism

I think the idea of states having more power is attractive; mostly for the fact that it would allow more diversity in legislation and give Americans more choices in living with a government they agree with while still living in the U.S.A. How much power to be gained is tricky though, because it can't be so much that separate states start to resemble separate countries.

I think I've seen that show on TV before. It's interesting stuff, but while watching it it's important to remember that it's still a TV program with either all or certain parts being scripted and edited.

That being said, I still think that the general idea of a higher group of string pullers is real, but the sinister intentions stated on that TV show seem fabricated to create ratings, IMO.
If anything, I believe that a group like that exists because they don't trust the masses of idiots in the world to decide on major issues, which in my book is a good thing.

Yes, I am these old adult swimmers you were looking for.

All of them, all my alts. Sent to the past on a mission.

Do you wish for knowledge from the futures? Yeah that's right, PLURAL.

Go on, ask away.

How do I know that you're really from the future? <_< This is serious business

I was on Adult Swim, around 2006. I got banned five times because I was under 13. I forget how they always found out, probably because of some stupid non-subtle post insinuating I'm not over 13.

heh yeah... the adult swim forums are oddly strict considering the product. I tried registering a new account on there today to see what it was like now, and I couldn't because "BassCadet" contains profanity - "ass" -.-
I ended up finding my info for my old account, at least.

Great writing

It's completely true - Society as a whole functions much differently than most people really think it does. The two-party system? It's all bullshit to keep the mass population busy arguing with eachother and unable to realize that voting for a leader is irrelevant. And to a lesser degree, a lot of other things in society are also like that, unfortunately. The big picture is frequently masked by the superficial debates between superficial groups.

indeed...there are probably ridiculous laws of physics operating everywhere, even in empty space, that our current understanding couldn't even hope to explain, and despite the fact that we live in the age that is becoming more tech-savvy, we're still just primitive monkeys stuck on this planet unable to see what's truly out there.
