This is a brilliant video I found on anarcho-capitalism and a society without government (or at least not as we know it). Do you think a society like this would work? If not, why wouldn't it and what potential problems do you believe could arise?

A federal judge has upheld the right for girls 13 and older to post "lewd" pictures of themselves on the internet. The judge said that taking away their freedom to do this would violate their freedom of speech. I support the judge's decision, what do you think?

I am absolutely amazed and astounded at the stupidity of this woman who supports illegal immigration, supports big government, and is a liberal Democrat. She also believes Obama pays for her welfare check out of his own pockets.

Alright! Ron Paul has put up his New Hampshire speech for everyone to enjoy!

Oh wow, I didn't know she was in South Africa.

What does everyone think of Ron Paul's new 2012 Presidential Campaign commercial? I think it's brilliant, just like the man himself.

After reading just part of the first paragraphs, I could tell that this was clearly a troll site as no one could seriously be that stupid, just how he described the Jurassic Park movies, you could tell something was off. But what do my fellow Christians believe really happened to the dinosaurs and how they were created before humans and everything?

What does everyone think of the upcoming Deus Ex game? I think it looks amazing, the first game was brilliant. It comes out in less than a week, here's the trailer if you haven't seen it yet:

Ron Paul is the only sane and honest politician we have.

The Libyan Transitional Council (the anti-Gaddafi rebels) are gaining even more support as the sub-Saharan African nation of Gambia has recognized the rebels as the legitimate government of Libya.

One could also argue that it helps stop the corrupt police if the military or a dictator ever takes over Nigeria again and it could help stop the liberals who wish to take away our freedom.

It's only temporary until they negotiate something.

A church is an embassy with god, is it not?

I like this law and I'm a conservative.

Congrats to Ghana then!

My heart goes out to the families. I hope they catch the people responsible.

Wow, it looks beautiful there, thanks for sharing OP

Some of the parents of the London rioters (who are a group of teenagers and young adults looting stores and setting buildings on fire) are claiming that they are not responsible for their children's actions. What do you think of this and should the parents be held responsible? Or should the liberals be held responsible for making society the way it is (as well as taking away the jobs)? Or should be both blamed?

He's an adult, and even if he weren't 18 yet and were just a teenager, I wouldn't necessarily say that the parents should be held responsible. In some cases, they are, but sometimes it's just teenagers rebelling or out of control (due to liberalism). Bear in mind that it was the liberals who made our society this way, they made it so that if you so much as spank a child, you will be accused of child abuse and possibly have your family taken away from you. The heart of the problem is the liberals, not necessarily the parents.

That's a little presumptuous of him, isn't it?

No. And capitalism is a system where everyone has a chance to succeed or fail (in America anyway). Communism is a system where everyone automatically fails.

I somewhat agree with the OP, but I'm not sure that justified colonization of Africa,

Today it was announced that the expansion to the Royal Gardens of Jonathanland have been put on hold. The expansions would add two more sections to the beautiful Royal Gardens surrounding the Royal Palace where his Majesty, King Jonathan resides. It is currently unknown if the plan to expand the Royal Gardens will resume or when they will resume. If construction is resumed, this could create more jobs in the kingdom as well as making the country more beautiful. What do you think of the cancellation of the major improvements to the Royal Gardens, should they be resumed immediately, resumed later, indefinitely postponed, or cancelled altogether?

Recently King Jonathan of Jonathanland has reported that so long as Pepsi continues to produce Pepsi Throwbacks, he will buy them "instead of" regular blue-can Pepsi. For his entire reign he has purchased regular Pepsi, but this startling announcement may have broken the tradition. In fact, His Majesty has purchased regular blue-can Pepsi for over 10 years before his reign as monarch. Has King Jonathan betrayed a Jonathanland tradition, what do you think?

Wow that's crazy, I hope they receive the strictest punishments under law.
