Ok thats it! We need to ban public telephones, pre-paid calling cards, search engines and Hotmail! I have also heard that the terrorist eat food! If we ban all production of food we will starve those bastards to death! Who is with me!
The corporations and unions wouldn't be half as powerful if there weren't a lot of politicians around, who could give them hand-outs. Less politicians, more oversight, less corruption. Every libertarian I know of favors less politicians and bureaucrats.
Also I would love to know which the attepts to create a fully free market economy are. In my experience it seems like most every major economic downturn, starts in industries with clear government ties. Banking, military, oil.
Banks' license to in essence print money, might be 'pro business', but it isn't 'pro freedom'. It might be good for capitalists, but not good for capitalism. Unfortunately, a lot of people who can not differentiate between the two, have been put in charge of all our future.
It doesn't hurt the one who get such a contract. It hurts the ones who do not. They would probably have gotten a contract on a free market. But since you wanted to pay less than the actual cost of the apartment, others will have to pay more.

More government control of the economy = more corruption.
Sorry, I have to disagree on that one. Some of the least corrupt governments in the world happen to be the scandinavian countries, which also happen to be very much on the socialist side. You can also find plenty of the opposite case, i.e. banana republics where the government doesn't control the economy and is very corrupt. I wouldn't go as far as saying that more govt control means less corruption, but I definitely disagree on your simple "more control = more corruption" statement. The Nordic countries have relatively little control over the business side of the economy, for example the telecom industry in Sweden and Finland is the most libertarian in the world(last time I checked Nokia was basically the entire Finnish stock exchange). The government do however have large say over working peoples wallets. Since people have relatively small amounts of money bribing officials are out of the question. Getting permits to build a house can take years, but will go much faster if the official granting them is you dad.
While the banana republics may have low taxes, (I assume you mean South America) you basically need a permit to go to the toilet, unless you bribe someone ofcourse. Government control of the economy is much more than taxation it is as much about regulation.
We have other types of corruption, nepotism for example is rampant here in Sweden. Also it should be remembered that the laws that our government passes seldom affects business decisions, they are mostly to control the people. So there is rather small reason to try and bribe anyone. unlike France where the people are relativly free from government control but where business is heavyly regulated.
And how do you propose we implement a system with a controlled economy without controlling the people? Kind of hard seeing as it is the people that make up the economy. This was Marx fallacy (and all other socialist I might add) he did not see that a free market is when free people get to choose what they want to do with their own time(of which we all have the same amount I might add, very egalitarian).
Dude what are you smoking? During the record years of 1950-1960 the total tax burden in Sweden was never more than 21 percent of GDP, which was less than the US and Western Europe at the time. The Social Democrats polices during those years were essentially libertarian, sure they had a lot of left-wing rhetoric, but actions speak louder than words, right?
I was surprised that so many people missed this, but then I found your comment. He is using a reference to an earlier article titled "Revenge of the Nerds" which he then refers back to by saying the nerds were right. Compare:
"last year I wrote a review of 'March of the Penguins' claiming they could have flown to their nesting place. As it turns out it is to cold to fly in Antarctica, when being a fetherless fowl. I was wrong, the Penguins were right".
"last year I wrote a review of 'March of the Penguins' claiming they could have flown to their nesting place. As it turns out it is to cold to fly in Antarctica, when being a fetherless fowl. I was wrong, the members of Spheniscinae were right".
In the first sentence I refer back to something I have said earlier, giving some flow to the text. In the second example it is clear who the members of the Spheniscinae (a Greek mafia family?) since they have not been defined earlier in the text.
Surely Jefferson did not want the government violently overthrown every ten years? Does anyone have a link for this? BTW who should pay for the candy in a your utopia?
Since this is bound to raise questions about will it have 3G type. I thought I should ask a related question. I guess the EU have some sort of FCC equivalent that asserts that devices with radio comply to standards. When would apple have to provide them with an iPhone with a 3G chip, for it to make the before end of 2007 deadline. Are those tests public, i.e. would they have to tell us that they are conducting tests on the iPhone?
including people in the industry who don't actually fuck for money, ie strip dancers, porn stars, topless waiters, dominatrixes (sp?) etc.
What kind of boring non-fucking porn do you watch?
Are you implying that Cuba, North Korea and Iraq was in some way "doing better than the United States" ? The countries you listed were some of the worst of in the world long before the US took any interrest in them.
Considering that most dinosaurs were herbivores and ate a lot of beans and grass, not only did they have delta-wings of some jets, they probably had jet exhaust engines aswell:).

The Pale Man sequence in Pan's Labyrinth, scared the living shit out of me. A must see movie.
Actually it stands for both.
Are they allowed to tear it down completely?

At least it wasn't a Dell, with a Sony battery and a Maxtor HDD! That would probably blow a whole builing!
Yes it would probably suck big time!

I play Monkey Island 2 through the Scummvm engine, according to the website: scummvm.org part 1 should work also. Don't know about the others though.
