Well, we obviously don't "need" an alternate universes forum. Like Nag said, if you want to RP in it, you can. If you don't, you don't have to. And you can totally ignore it, because nothing in the AU Forum will change anything in the rest of the forums. I say, let it stand, and let those who want to use it, use it, and those who want to totally ignore it, ignore it.

Sounds good. And suspiciously libertarian... but I digress...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Socially I'm a Libertarian, Economically I'm a Democratic Socialist. But Lets not turn this into a discussion about politics.

You cannot be a libertarian and a socialist at the same time. Socialism implies putting the state before the individual: libertarianism does the opposite. And Kasynia, not all communists are socially conservative.

There can be give and take. Individual first socially, government first economically. Its not impossible. So take your Libertairan argument ELSEWHERE!

Norightsia's right on both accounts. Besides, Quaon, I highly doubt that you're an expert on political science, and, furthermore, they're my political beliefs, and you can't tell me what I do and do not believe.

Therefore,to sum it all up,

--Quaon--not a political scientist

--Wadj-- agrees with Libertarians on issues dealing with civil liberties, IE free speech, gay marriage, etc. Disagrees on issues dealing with the economy.

--Norightsia-- correct in his statement that arguments about Libertarianism are, by this time, cliched, and that, cliched or not, they should be conducted elsewhere.

I didn't say that. What I'm saying is that, while you may have libertarian tendencies, you are not a libertarian because, to be a libertarian, you have to be a libertarian economically to.

By the beard of Zeus, man! Are you daft?

I specifically said, and I quote, socially I'm a libertarian, meaning I agree with the libertarians on social issues, and economically I'm a democratic socialist, meaning that I agree with the democratic socialists on economic issues.

I can agree with the Libertarians on certain issues, and disagree with them on others. Its entirely possible.

Now, lets go through this once more, slowly.

On issues of civil liberties, I share the same views as a member of the Libertarian party. Hence, socially my beliefs can be considered Libertarian.

Economically, on the other hand, I support nationalized healthcare, assistance for the needy, etc. Therefore, economically, I cannot be considered a libertarian, but instead I should be considered a democratic socialist, although I might not go so far as to call myself a socialist, because I believe that there must still be some form of free market, and that often planned economies end up causing more trouble than good.

So, do you understand?

Also, on an entirely different topic, I dare you not to respond to this post.

Thanks for the support, Oh Mighty Wadj. I fear that Esternarx has unwittingly created a political copy of himself in Quaon, albeit without the reason his arguements usually have and with a voracious appetite for posting Spam. If he's anything like CE, he will respond to your post. If not, he'll be a failure as a spammer.

I've gotta say, Quaon has made an alarming number of posts recently.

He is poised for a Spam War with CE, I'll wager. I say you chop his post count down a thousand to keep him modest. That way we don't have to suffer through another Spam War.

Not going to happen. We need Spam counts so we know who to shout at and ignore.

And I'm sure the fact that he's going to surpass your post count has nothing to do with your desire to cut Quaons post count.

He won't. He didn't reply to that post. He will fail.

So I've just gotta hold on until Thursday?

If I make 15 non-spam posts per day I can take and hold forth place in the Spam Wars.

Then it's just RD, Norightsia and Teh Spam King between me and greatness!

There can be, only one.

Or until I decide to cheat and abuse admin powers to grow an e-penis. Which will likely be when I get dumped, because as is - I'm pretty happy with the way Princess Sofia has been performing.

Oh really?

I must inform you that I intend to stand by my policy of a post count not being a status symbol.

Thus every post I make will have at least a flimsy pretext of being well thought out and adding something to the conversation.

I suggest you do the same, or you'll just piss people off.

Anyone know how I can record videos?
