[Prismatic Sphere]

Glenn Beck is a SOCIALIST. This was a pretty insightful read.

PS, I'm curious as to what sites you frequent as a Libertarian?

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

www.lp.org(natch)
www.mises.org
www.smallgovtimes.com(good for news, though they do have a slight neocon/christian slant)
www.libertypulse.com
www.humblelibertarian.com(Wes is one cool guy and loves prog metal)
www.freerepublic.com(mostly for the anti-lefty hate and the outrageous art/cartoons that come out of it)
www.nolanchart.com(excellent articles & covers all points on the political spectrum)
www.unitedliberty.org
www.thehill.com
www.libertarianatheist.com


And Jimmy, now that I've done that- please post what Libertarian websites which you frequent and also explain to me why, if you can, choose to live in Brooklyn surrounded by droves of dirty, Marx-loving hipsters with super shitty taste in music.
I lived in Brooklyn, once for a few months and I wouldn't live there again rent free.

I'm really just curious because I actually don't fully grasp what a libertarian is. I've been researching it which is why I am asking you for a site or two in which you provided and I thank you.

I've lived in Brooklyn my whole life. Inherited my Uncle's home and actually love Brooklyn/Manhattan, as long as you know where to go and know the right people.

I now live in Brooklyn heights, which is far from a dirty slum

...and you're basically just stereotyping Brooklyn man. When it comes down to Hipsters they are a very low percentage of the population who live in Williamsburg, the lower east side etc.; home of the rich kid get out of jail (middle of the country) free card.

Living in Brooklyn once for a few months doesn't mean you know Brooklyn buddy. You probably just happened to make a shitty choice location wise or probably couldn't afford anything decent. Either way you sound a bit pretentious or maybe misunderstood.

To be fair, you sound like a pretentious New Yorker. I know you believe deep in your heart that NYC is the greatest place on earth, but that doesn't make it so. Also, let me add that I don't have a personal problem with you, just the NYC elitism which is juvenile and annoying.

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Hey whatever the fuck. I miss my friends. I'm just glad that I can buy a pack of smokes for under $10.00 and not belong to a pack of fucksticks like in Death Wish 3.

Nah, I'm not an elitist man. I understand the cons and pros of living in a major city; I just didn't like his take on what he thought was Brooklyn.

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Don't get me wrong. Brooklyn isn't all bad. The women are looser. The pizza on average is better. But the overall vibe of the place is boring and disheartening.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. :Spin:

Karl Marx is love by hipsters?

How or why socialism became trendy is anybody's guess.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Castro's not even into it anymore, apparently:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100908/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/cb_cuba_fidel_castro_5

– Fidel Castro told a visiting American journalist that Cuba's communist economic model doesn't work, a rare comment on domestic affairs from a man who has conspicuously steered clear of local issues since stepping down four years ago.

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Hahaha, DOUBLE FAIL!


Korea at night:

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Your pic didn't load, so I took the liberty of linking it in this post. That's hilarious! I assume the tiny spot of light on the North's coast is the Kim's palace?

 

[Prismatic Sphere]

Thanks and fixed(we hope).

EDIT: I don't think the lone light is from Kim's Palace. My guess is that it is probably from the Golden Palace, so that Kim gets his takeout.

Socialism isn't trendy but then again most don't know what a socialist or communist is.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

Most of those who don't know are republicans.

 

[Dak]

I would say the majority of Americans, regardless of party affiliation, do not know the idealogical tenants of any particular belief/political/governing system.

 

[Saparmurat_Niyazov]

So in other words, most Americans are stupid in general? That's old news brother.

 

[Badbird]

Most of those who don't know are republicans.

For the most part yes.

 

[Jimmy... Dead.]

but that is too easy of an explanation

Painfully and willingly ignorant, not stupid. Now stupid and intelligent is really just open to interpretation.

I believe most people - just don't give a shit.
