I completely agree. There is nothing left for a libertarian to do politically. There is no chance, on the federal level. However, we as individualscan do great things in our own lives and on the local level

I think Hoppe says said it best:

"Hence, the task of supporting and keeping alive the truths of private property, freedom of contract and association and disassociation, personal responsibility, and of fighting falsehoods, lies, and the evil of statism, relativism, moral corruption, and irresponsibility can nowadays only be taken on collectively by pooling resources and supporting organizations like the Mises Institute, an independent organization dedicated to the values underlying Western civilization, uncompromising and far removed even physically from the corridors of power. Its program of scholarships, teaching, publications, and conferences is nothing less than an island of moral and intellectual decency in a sea of perversion.

To be sure, the first obligation of any decent person is to himself and his family. He should–in the free market–make as much money as he possibly can, because the more money he makes, the more beneficial he has been to his fellow man.

But that is not enough. An intellectual must be committed to the truth, whether or not it pays off in the short run. Similarly, the natural elite have obligations that extend far beyond themselves and their families.

The more successful they are as businessmen and professionals, and the more others recognize them as successful, the more important it is that they set an example: that they strive to live up to the highest standards of ethical conduct. This means accepting as their duty, indeed as their noble duty, to support openly, proudly, and as generously as they possibly can the values that they have recognized as right and true.

They receive in return intellectual inspiration, nourishment, and strength, as well as the knowledge that their name will live forever as outstanding individuals who rose above the masses and made a lasting contribution to mankind."

Yep, you just gotta go Greek style.

South america…

Place is nice, brazil is pretty hot humid, but in the winter it rains alot.

January is summer, and June is rain season.

A lot of crime though. You gonna get mugged easily if you look like a tourist.

North america…

Nice place. Though the government is just as bad as south america’s. Brazillian government very corrupt like north american government.

Id assume the best place to move to is Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Liechtenstein, Or you can just stay in the united states but move to a more conservative state.

As for me, its either switzerland or germany if i had to expat. But ATM im not too comfortable with Expating.

104

You sound like you’re from Brazil.

105

I am.

Moved to the US when i was 7.

106

lol, you sound like you didn’t like it that much.

I actually have a “Learn Portuguese” set.

107

Misogynists!

Haha, of course I was just kidding. My avatar is the book cover for the “Alphabet of Manliness”… But I do have some nice breastial-meat.

But yes, this thread has taken a strange turn…must be the election fever.

108

I forgot all my portuguese. Though i dont really care that much, even though many have told me that i lost something worth of value.

I like english moar.

On a side note-

I like asian girls.

109

usa voted a moderate, so people are going to go to countries to the left of that moderate and complain that the moderate to the right was not elected?

110

@ Kelvin Silva

I was thinking about getting Brazilian citizenship

And…it’s…nice that you like Asian girls.

111

Brazil is not that great of a country. Its nice yes, but shit government.

Well, all government sucks, but brazil not too good.

The current president is a member of:

workers party.

Pretty leftist if you ask me.

I like switzerland more, alas it has a government, but its more decentralized into cantons/smaller regions.

112

Yes, but it’s not going down the tubes like the United States.

And there are…other reasons I like Brazil.

113

Pretty darn close to it.

Other reasons.. You like brazillian girls? Go get one then move to switzerland.

114

-.- Couldn’t tell if serious

Also, couldn’t read your avatar’s font until you wrote it out :stuck_out_tongue:

115

Gary wilson has good insight on pronography.

I think he is right.

The thread already has been derailed.

This may be one way that america might be finished off.

Greek standard of beauty… missing limbs??

@ Kelvin Silva

Thanks for blowing my cover, ass. (Just kidding of course) :wink:

@Kelvin: You posted that before. It’s a low-quality talk IMO and I don’t know how he managed to get on a TED agenda. Watching sex is part of human nature. Hell, before the invention of the solid wall, even children would have seen it going on fairly regularly. As I stated last time you linked this video (crappy video! Had to say it again!), Cosmopolitan and racy Super Bowl ads are much more concerning to me than regular pornography.

The testimonies from heavy porn users say that they prefer it over real sex. Which indeed is not good. What is human nature?

120

What does the testimony of neurotics have to do with anything? Human nature is the behavior of human beings - like bird nature is the behavior of birds or dog nature the behavior of dogs.
