Maybe that's the wave of the future. Don't like your country's politics, just go build your own.

I tink as soon as there is anything of value at these beyond the reach of laws islands then enterprising entrepenuers wil acquire these islands in an extremely hostile manner.



MileHighM -> RE: Libertarians to build their own countries (8/16/2011 1:41:53 PM)

Crazy ass idea, but kudos to the idea of putting your money where your mouth is.

Impossible, unless you mean by force.

A political/economic biodome....Pauly Shore is writing the screenplay already. I hope they have good fishing skills or can trade with salt like the old days...otherwise their lack of natural resources will render it infeasible.

I think what gave it away was the EXTREMELY HOSTILE MANNER

Marc2b -> RE: Libertarians to build their own countries (8/16/2011 1:54:12 PM)

So my fantasy of kidnapping several of the collarme babes and making them my actual slaves may actually be possible?



mnottertail -> RE: Libertarians to build their own countries (8/16/2011 2:02:21 PM)

Dunno, are you a libertarian?

Not if they can trade information. Such as better medical devices, engineering, and IT.

Its possible, but unlikely, because their isolation will even stunt any R&D progress.



LillyBoPeep -> RE: Libertarians to build their own countries (8/16/2011 2:13:37 PM)

i would just wonder, where are people going to work? they don't have any resources, you can't farm. what kind of jobs are going to be available on something like that?
it's just going to be a colony for people with office jobs? what kind of offices? =p they'll have to trade for/import everything.



mnottertail -> RE: Libertarians to build their own countries (8/16/2011 2:14:09 PM)

but they will have a very very small government.

They'll do whatever work the people who take over want them to do.

One of my many ideas as a budding entrepreneur was a floating city built out of old ships/oil rigs..One could fish, there would be tourism, plenty of ways to grow food that doesn't require dirt..true they are limited but not to a point that things can't be overcome.

Cool idea.



LillyBoPeep -> RE: Libertarians to build their own countries (8/16/2011 2:26:35 PM)

that's true; i guess they can do hydroponics, which can be pretty well-run, optimal systems.




EternalHoH -> RE: Libertarians to build their own countries (8/16/2011 2:26:48 PM)

Will they have offshore windmill farms and other hippy green innovations to power these islands?

A link to one donation showed another concept with a windmill attached.

They've been talking about this for years and it makes sense for the ever expanding population..who knows..maybe one day we'll move everyone offshore and the land will be strictly for farming and raising livestock. [:D]
