Aside from this one I frequent the political board on Gamefaqs. It has a left lean but the several libertarians posters are very knowledgeable. There currently aren’t any anarco-capitalists though 
http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/261-politics
I also go to the Ron Paul Forums and Hannity forums from time to time but I don’t post at either of them since my opinions are usually representated by someone else.
I go to Ron Paul Forums and US Election Atlas Forum. I help to start a budding colony of anarchocapitalists at the latter.
I hit www.townhall.com quite frequently; it’s a real opportunity to educate people about economics, for a couple of reasons. First, there are a few dedicated statist wingnuts that will go through every wingnut argument about why the government should regulate the economy; this gives one the opportunity to demonstrate, over and over again, why the wingnut pro-government arguments are wrong. Secondly, the board has people that proclaim themselves to be pro-free market, but who need a better education about what the free market means than what, say, Sean Hannity teaches. I also maintain a blog there (more or less) called The Blogging Cavalier.
I go to the Free Talk Live bulletin board; http://bbs.freetalklive.com Beware! the board is unregulated, so there is always a chance that offensive material will be dropped into your discussion of the causes of the Panic of 1819.
I’ve had a brief experience going to other boards. Basically there are people who will just troll you and not use any real arguments. They are a waste of time. Then there are people who have the intelligence/discipline to engage in a meaningful conversation, and they simply drop out once they realize they’re losing.
For example, someone started a thread on the hannity forums about how immigration does not lead to lower living standards for Americans. The argument went back and forth a couple of times and then I pointed out that during our periods of free immigration we had fantastic growth… posted a bunch of links, and they all ignored me from then on.
They also got squeemish when I cornered them on nationalism/racism: “So you’re saying that you care more about an American’s ability to buy a third gen iPod than a mexican/african/indian’s ability to buy food.” They just denied being racist, and again, dropped out of the conversation. It probably wasn’t a wise move. In the future I should remember that smashing your opponent is not a good idea… although it is very effective at “winning” the argument. I don’t think I got through to them on some deeper level though…
I do troll my facebook profile though! We probably all know how un-intellectual our friends are. “Zomg transformers 4 was awesome”. “Highschoolfriend #8 likes Toy Story 3”. Every now and then I’ll set my status up to kind of bait marxist/democrats… or just to let people know how bad the opposition’s arguments really are. For example, I quoted an interview with tom sowell. “Q: Senator Obama recently supported legislation that would give a $4000 tax credit for college tuition. How do you feel about that? A: I wouldn’t be surprised if tuition went up $4000.” Occasionally I’ll get someone to bite. Its at least fun for me to tease their politics even if no one responds.
I read, but do not post on, the forums of www.rothbard.be, the Belgian Mises circle if you will.
I typically have trouble debating on political boards because they tend to take up more time than they are actually worth. Last time I tried it, I stopped when my opponent claimed I was a feudalist.
Even though the board I go to is pretty mixed I still have to deal with people trolling because oftentimes they dont really care and I do feel like i’m wasting my time some days. And I should try that tactic on facebook >_>
Oh man, I used to post on that board all the time just a few months ago! My account’s still on “Purgatory” status right now, though.
I’ve conversed with a few voluntarists there, actually.
What I find affective on facebook is passively dismantling myths that people believe in. I don’t tell any specific person to read “Anatomy of the State” but I just post it up on my wall once in a while with a couple comments. I just try to rile up interest in people. Once I get them interested, the power of reason either compels them, or goes right over their heads. 
The thing is to not insult anyone. Keep ideas seperate from people, and dismantle those ideas as they stand on their own.
Destroy their fallicious defenses, and instead of giving a killing blow to someone’s exposed ego, be merciful and allow them to realize their own error and your kindness and mercy. 
The trick is to not set people off like bombs, and not screw with their worldview too much in one instant.
Marked do you mean on Gamefaqs? Did you ever post on the politics board?
Nice advice Giant_Joe
We all need to work on that, but it really is the ticket.
I don’t debate politics anymore. I do try to teach a little free market economics when I can.
None whatsoever.
Yep!
I tend to frequent the “Extended Discussion” section of the dreamviews.com forums. It is a website dedicated to “lucid dreaming,” which is essentially a phenomenon where one realizes that they are dreaming and can then control what they do in their dreams. I became interested in it in late 2007.
Much to my frustration, a lot of the community consists of hippy, druggie, leftist hipster environmentalists that always speak out against “global corporations” and always talk about how our current lifestyles are destroying the earth’s beauty and blah blah blah.
Andrew Cain and I had some fun over there at one point. Now it’s just me messing around. It’s rather lonely. There is only one fellow Austrian that I know of.
Oh nice Marked! What was your username?You should make a return, since we need more austrians on the board lol.
Like I said, I would, but I got a slamming 1-month purgatory sentence that’s about half over.

Seriously, what else did you expect to find there?
I didn’t expect much of anything when I first joined. Being interested in lucid dreaming doesn’t mean one is automatically a hipster environmentalist. Take me, for example.
I see, well hope to see you back there sometime. You’ll probably recognize me if you know who all the libertarian posters are.
I just started posting on gamefaqs political boards…I’v already got people hating me because I’v defended the South’s right to secced from the union…
Anybody know any good links/vids for that btw? I know Thomas Woods has a few good vids on the subject, but I’m wondering if anybody had anything else.
