Let's not turn this into something akin to the creepier CAD Mock Threads where people were digging up dirt on ex-girlfriends and poo poo. Guy is banned from SA, let's leave it lie. He's an idiot and an rear end in a top hat, and doxxing is against the rules.

This is probably the most :psyboom: thing I've ever witnessed from jrod. This is "get your government hands off my medicare!" territory.

What do you mean? A country with universal health care, mandated long service leave, mandated annual and sick leave (only for permanents though contractors and casuals can get hosed), a major political party founded by and (ostensibly) representing unions, a not-insignifcant minor party of environmentalist social democrats, government funded primary, secondary and tertiary education and (what at least used to be) one of the real dollar highest :siren:minimum wages:siren: in the world is definitely the fifth most libertarian paradise around.

I had a 2 acre burial plot with an elegantly carved statue of myself riding my favorite equestrian horse, Big War Bucks, when I died. And my casket was made of the finest rosewoods and gilded platinum. You?

What, a 6x6 plot and pedestrian carpentry? G-GUARDS! Get this plebe out of my afterlife!

It is sort of creepy to doxx him, but I have to say the question he asked was pretty funny.

quote:

Hello everyone,

I am a new member on this site but I’ve been a libertarian for almost ten years now.

I am debating some leftists on another forum and I’ve come across some interesting arguments that I am not entirely sure how to respond to.

This is what I am being asked:

"Have you ever hosed a watermelon?"

What is the best response against this?

Thanks.

I no-joke read about 110 pages of this thread before getting the end spoiled because I clicked his permaban entry in the leper's colon, and I lost the will to read the remaining however-many hundred pages remained. So I missed the melon-loving reference. Could someone please either explain or link it for me?

At some point someone accused jrode of loving watermelons and he didn't deny it for like a year. So we assume it is actually true because we don't like jrode and it's funny. It's in the same vein as "Ted Cruz is the Zodiac Killer" except older.

Are we done yet? He's gone... can we maybe talk about something libertarian in the thread? The Libertarian Party has a nominee and Hillary vs. Trump would have to be the shittiest election yet. I've noticed in the polls that there's a consistent 10% that just won't take a side... will a third party like the LP capture them, stay home, or hate themselves and vote their party anyway?

Johnson/Weld... so two govenors. That's a plus, but two "former" Republicans only fuels a part of the LP that want's to be unique little snowflakes and hate the connotation that the LP is the home of failed Republicans, "Republican-lite" or Republican's that can't put down their joints. I personally would like to tell those purists to get bent... because that's kind of where I fit in and pretty much anyone ever supportive of Ron or Rand Paul. Either way I'm looking forward to generally being hated on all sides, Republicans and Democrats both telling me I messed up the election and arrogant Libertarians telling me I ruined their party... and probably goons mocking me for how are we going to live without or fund ________. :ohdear:

I think it does say something that the closest thing to reasonable candidates the party was able to dredge up are a couple of warmed-over Republican cast-offs, frankly. Do you have any strong opinions about the Civil Rights Act, state-mandated driver's licenses, or the legality of selling heroin to five year olds?

I still love just how clearly that laid out his mindset, and that it's a perfect example of cargo culting at the same time.

"No UAE or Qatar in the top 10 so maybe you'll look at the substance of the ranking this time."

He knows that he can't have Qatar or the UAE in the list because they're infamous for being states that have literal slavery, as we pointed out to him. So rather than address the process that lead to literal slave states ranking high in a Libertarian list, he just finds a list without them while not addressing the original problem.

the problem with libertarianism as a political third way in america is that you're either a libertarian-lite and you're prone to voting for one of the main parties depending on your other politics or you're a full on ideologue in which case the libertarian party is more of a containment zone for extremists like the green party. like there just aren't enough committed, moderate libertarians to make the party less of a zoo

i mean it's not like there are 400 page threads in this forum dedicated to roasting libertarians or anything

at the very least a new thread with a clean fresh start and a polite tone would be better than kicking off a new direction in the "let's laugh at the words dumbest possible gimmick libertarian man" thread
