[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50461387]I already know what it is. There is a reason why regulations, labour laws, taxes and publicly funded infrastructure is a thing. Pure Libertarian the opposite Pure Socialism but they both suck in their purest form, mixed economics and management work best for the average joe.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't call any ordinary capitalist system (like, for example, what we have in the UK or US) a mixed system. That would imply that the mix between socialism and markets was at least somewhat even.

Mixed doesn't mean equally libertarian/socialist though.

Why do you think that guy was doing it in this video, sex appeal?

I know. But I wouldn't really call the UK or US a 'mixed economy'.
[QUOTE=Streecer;50461351]"who will build the roads" is the great libertarian stumping question of our time, there's never an answer, but libertarians think they're above it and try to mock people that ask it
How would private roads work? There's only so much free real estate that can be used to build roads, so there'd be no competition unless every road had multiple levels each owned by a different group. Who would manage land rights? What is the incentive to provide well maintained roads without competition? Why would people tolerate driving on roads that all have toll booths when we can just do it through taxes?[/QUOTE]
I imagine the way water is run here, in that the government just pays private companies to run it for them. This of course isn't really a libertarian idea and is actually quite inefficient honestly.
[QUOTE=maeZtro;50461062]Hilarious but this isn't real is it?[/QUOTE]
Oh my sweet summer child.
How did this happen lmao
[quote]
I put a quarter in the siren. Ten minutes later, I was on the scene. It was a normal office building, strangled on all sides by public sidewalks. I hopped over them and went inside.
“Home Depot™ Presents the Police!®” I said, flashing my badge and my gun and a small picture of Ron Paul. “Nobody move unless you want to!” They didn’t.
“Now, which one of you punks is going to pay me to investigate this crime?” No one spoke up.
“Come on,” I said. “Don’t you all understand that the protection of private property is the foundation of all personal liberty?”
It didn’t seem like they did.
“Seriously, guys. Without a strong economic motivator, I’m just going to stand here and not solve this case. Cash is fine, but I prefer being paid in gold bullion or autographed Penn Jillette posters.”
Nothing. These people were stonewalling me. It almost seemed like they didn’t care that a fortune in computer money invented to buy drugs was missing.
I figured I could wait them out. I lit several cigarettes indoors. A pregnant lady coughed, and I told her that secondhand smoke is a myth. Just then, a man in glasses made a break for it.
“Subway™ Eat Fresh and Freeze, Scumbag!®” I yelled.
Too late. He was already out the front door. I went after him.

[QUOTE=Daniel Smith;50461087]"you don't need government to build roads" yeah because fees for driving on private highways sound so amazing right? a corporation will only build roads if it generates profit. theres a reason why shit like that is publicly funded[/QUOTE]
Have you been to the north east? Many of the large roads are tolled and owned by the government.
[QUOTE=shrinkme;50462937]Did I just watch a Tim and Eric sketch?[/QUOTE]
Tim & Eric are doing an ARG, the first clues are at the Libertarian convention
Wish it included more from the debate. Some crazy shit was said.
Is it just me or does the woman at the start of the video actually look like Dobby from Harry Potter?
