    My point was this was going to get expensive and cumbersome.

    So they get the protection of these Oppressors(government provided defense forces) that our taxes pay for without them paying a dime?

    How typical.

    You are correct of course. The only question is will this be before or after many people are victimized.

    If we had those regulations maybe less people would have been victimized, less crime would have occurred and people may not have lived such short brutal lives.

    Those freedoms and opportunities, are the freedoms and opportunities to work for less than it costs to live, to become a virtual slave and to die in some accident when your employers refuses to provide for safety in anyway at all.

    There is a lot wrong with not paying taxes while still expecting to benefit from the things they provide. People came the USA to make money, not evade taxes or escape oppression. Put the Rand crap down and read some history.

    The freest country with slavery and voting for only wealthy white landowners. You could be imprisoned without charges and the first amendment was a joke. Lincoln locked up editors who published cartoons he did not like. There was no golden age you dream of.

    In 1870 to 1913 we had the beginnings of the labor movement. A rising tide only lifts the largest boats. The reality is trickle down does not work, and the rich are more than happy to take all the gains.
      I am not denouncing those who want freedom, just those who are leeches and want to become slave drivers.

    So only those with money should be allowed to vote? If I lose my job and live off my savings for a year I should not be able to vote?
    Why not make a minimum income to vote, maybe a million dollars a year?

    You are a disgusting person if that is all you value about people. Women have provided valuable labor since Eve picked an apple. The reason they could not vote is because they were not really considered people, your after the fact justification is disgusting.

    What does that have to do with anything? The USA had a war for independence. We call it a revolution when it really wasn't. Not much changed for the common man. Check out who could vote in those first elections. Things did improve over time, but the English also have those same conditions now, and they still have a Queen.

    1. Not at all, nice stawman. The issue are if it is armed, or expects US navy protection without paying for it.

    2. No there any many lines, and not that many pirates in that area. This might attract some.

    3. Oil rigs are not generally trying to avoid the US government immigration laws like this.

    4. It sucks, but people do it.

    5. It will surely not be the latter.

    6. your own stupid stawman

    7. The Western governments are not fascist. You should learn a little more before speaking on that topic. The USA has nude beaches, Casinos, no secret police that check if people are married or correct gendered, alcohol and tobacco laws are enforced by locals not the feds. In short this is more nonsense you are spewing.

    8. More of the same idiocy from you. In reality for practical reasons crimes on board ships are often under reported and under investigated. This will happen on this boat as well, if it ever leaves harbor.

    This cruise ship idea is simply based on the idea of escaping the United States extremely high corporate tax, while staying close enough that business can be conducted in person.... as well as to secure protection of the Coast Guard and medial help if needed.

    So to not pay taxes but to get the benefits that those taxes provide anyway? So they want to be leeches, how wonderful. Typical libertarian behavior.

    That does not deal with the latter problem.
    The minute the captain wants some extra revenue you can pay, or pay the new $10k leaving the boat by other route than the plank fee.

    I would hope the US government would at least send them a bill to deal with pirates. If they don't pay just sieze their property.

    That oil platform makes money hand over fist and is owned and operated by a company the US government has some say over. If you don't want Government restrictions/protections the situation will be very different.

    Without the government to ensure contract law, nor protect from pirates this will fail. Your fevered dreams are just that. This is only for the wealthiest few. Without those regulations you hate we would have the age of hundreds of years ago. Rocketing forward economy while those who provide the actual labor are barely above starving to death. Sure the economy will do great, do bad that does not reflect the life of the average man in anyway.

    Just remember you will more likely be one who toils for not much more than his daily bread while someone else profits.

    Nice reference, great game, but here in reality the man did not toil alone. He was not able to produce without the poor being kept away from his warehouse at night, he was not able to risk only his investment by nature but by laws governing incorporation, nor was he able to get it to market without roads. I love how those who have never done a day of physical labor like to talk about sweat, blood and tears though.
