The video which was the downhill snowball

[BrainBlow]

I'm quite liberal. I didn't use to be. Though this part of the Penn & Teller episode "War on drugs" is what first changed my position on drugs. Though this caused a rolling snowball in me and lead me down the path of Libertarianism.

Too bad, since libertarianism is large portions of nonsense with a veneer of reason and good sense. You'll probably grow out of it eventually.

I doubt it, considering the shit I see in society caused by various prohibitions and the ever so power hungry governments playing on our terrorism fear.
I don't have any "decided" economic views. I find it silly to lock down on one specific economic branch and think that it will solve everything.
Also, now I got the code correct.

I often find myself in agreement on many issues with my libertarian friend...at least with social issues and some foreign policy. Major points of contention being the anarchistic economic policy and the broader sense of anti-vaccination/anti-science sentiment among libertarians (seems more prevalent than with liberals, although liberals outnumber them). I get the feeling that libertarians are "hyper liberals". They're ravenously liberal in practice about every issue. Couple that with a good dose of identity issues among party affiliation and a strange bipolar stance on authority. That's just my 2 cents though...

Eh. I'm not an anarchist. I find anarchist to be silly, silly people.

Perhaps I'm using the wrong word?
Me Norwegian. Me Enrish vocubolary nut su gut.

Something along the lines of where I stand in the political spectrum.

I'll tell you what though, your ability to type English far surpasses that of a rather large percentage of born and raised United Statians. Hmmm....I'm not really sure how well "libertarianism" translates overseas..... US politics and party principles are more or less ever changing and sometimes end up counter productive to the original or motivations and intentions of a political group so it's not easy for someone like me to describe some of these things without you having some prior first had idea of what's going on around here.

This smells like a good debate topic!
What kind of libertarianism are you reffering to as nonsense?
