Have you gotten to the point of saying screw it to society?

[publicduende]

Quit the bitching and get back to work.

Thinking outside the box is dangerous and should be banned.

It´s important to bust your ass so that you can be rewarded with a used up average looking chubby girl that bosses you around and eventually denies you sex and turns into a balloon.

Then eventually she shits out an ugly kid and the wonderful circle of life begins all over again.

LOL mate, do something for that depression

Libertarian means less government not no government. A strict constitutional government. Aka leave the people alone. Marijuana has never killed anybody. No gun control. No IRS stealing from the people. Simple

Hate speech combined with guns/explosives is a bad combination, recent history bears that out. I agree this is police action and should investigated and monitored.

I didn't have a problem with that ex-Marine being outspoken about Obama, that's is overreach by the Government.

Marijuana was used to demonize Mexican immigrants, that is another tool of White Supremacy to demonize "Others". Hemp was grown by several of our founding fathers because they were FARMERS! There is nothing wrong with Hemp its a weed that can be used for several things not just smoking it, I am not Libertarian and see that is wrong.

It keeps the Prison Industrial Complex in place... I say do what Portugal did LEGALIZE IT ALL. Have zero tolerance for getting behind the wheel under the influence. But having said that, cars will able to sense if your under the influence and not allow you to start the car OR drive you home automatically.

I agree at times there is Government overreach but the solutions offered by most Libertarians taken on assumptions of what Gen Y really wants, its unknown so that make projections based on current voting patterns.

For example, as to not impact those near retirement age (reliable voting block), they will keep the status quo with SSI and Medicare, but for the rest of us (they are speaking to Gen X or those between 30-47) they will increase the retirement age from 65 to 67-70. For Gen Y, they will give you an option when the time comes, Government provided retirement fund or a more aggressive privately controlled retirement fund.

All you have to do is look at Europe and make a couple of changes. Europe's problem is not having enough young people to go into the job market and fund social benefits.

The term is called "Pay It Forward" its not about YOU its about community. Madison Ave made it about YOU and sells you things accordingly...

Society worked for thousands of years when women wanted to procreate and have meaningful relationships. All we did was add the complexity of equal rights and equal opportunity.

Scale back the Individualism and have the majority of couples be in stable marriages and for those mature enough to handle it long term relationships (co-habitation). You'll solve a majority of societies problems that YOU see as personal responsibility issues. You can trace a straight line from single mother/female headed households to the problems in society.

There doesn't need to be a political dimension added to the debate, becoming something between a Moderate Republican and Rand Libertarian doesn't make you different, if you look at the mantra of the Green Party you would see we agree more than we disagree....

You can forget Reason Magazine, Reason.com and all that other Nick Gillespie trash. Dump Lew Rockwell and that bow tie goof ball that appears on RT often.

As I said, most Libertarians vote with the GOP.... #SMH - http://exiledonline.com/its-hip-its-coo ... tarianism/

I don't want to cause a fuss about politics on here, because ultimately, I believe that is what divides us, and that's what the people in charge want. And I am not against collectivism, I just don't want the government in on it. I believe that the reason out society is not socialized (non-government) is because the function we were supposed to carry out were carried out by government, thus we became lazy. Take the War on Drugs. If churches and people in the community were doing what they were supposed to do, we would not have as many drug problems.

This is true, but the problem stems from White Supremacy. The Wars on Drugs was started under Nixon, with the belief that inner-city/urban drug use was the problem. Instead of treating it as a public health issue, they turned it into a police action. It hasn't worked drug use is even higher than in the 90's, mostly casual use by White America. Also not mentioned or even thought of under the war on drugs is precipitation drugs like oxycontin which has devastating effects in all White areas like Orange County California - http://www.kcet.org/shows/socal_connect ... ngers.html



Again this is notion among Libertarians that communities can solve these problems. This is again thinking America is in some sort of vacuum that Racism/White Supremacy/Feminism didn't destroyed the Black Family, Black Relationships and Black Wealth. Its this colorblind view held by many of them that is disturbing to say the least.

The truth is South America wants nothing to do with America's War on Drugs. We can fix the problem easily by making it a public health issue (the abuse, what the Left in general wants) and legalizing it (what Libertarians want). It takes a community effort to force the Government out of the drug enforcement game.

Churches are just reacting to the changing value system of the general population. Chris Hedges asked why the shift to the Right by parishes around the country, they told him that's who goes to church. That's why they are largely no where to be found in most social debates and getting push back from the Nuns, who want the be more socially active.

This is a RIGHT WRONG issue not a LEFT RIGHT issue. I largely agree with Libertarians, I will not however allow them to be colorblind and that's my biggest problem. They would get the support of African-Americans if they supported Reparations and Indians if they supported giving their land back to them as William Block does, that is truly leveling the playing field.

As I said the hard left, the greens all agree with this, how is this dividing the country? We don't have a Parliament like Europe does, or proportional representation. We would be a much better country with five or six parties instead of just two but you have to start somewhere.

[NorthAmericanguy]

I agree. I don't think many people can totally say "screw it" to society!

And that's because people (including self) are dependent on whatever society they live in regardless if they love it or hate it. That said, I think many people feel like we do, the difference between other people and us is that we chose to fight instead of taking a more passive role.

[All_That_Is_Man]

I live in Chicago - the most ignorant, racially segregated city in North America. OF COURSE I'VE GOTTEN TO THE POINT OF SAYING "SCREW IT" TO SOCIETY. Hell, the mere thought of dating, say, a Philippina girl or a Latina girl is taboo, let alone going abroad to her country to meet her. Out here in Chicago, just talking to the opposite sex at the wrong bar can get you accused of "soliciting sex" and escorted from the venue, simply if she doesn't like your skin color! Take all the sh:t you are personally going through from the imbecile herd of sheeple in your area, and imagine it 100 times worse, and then you've got Chicago/midwest America. Actually I am a bit disappointed in some of you; if I had your same privileges of NOT living in the the midwest, I'd be a made man right now fighting off 9s and 10s with a stick. Having lived in several states throughout the country, I can confidently say that my problems began when I moved back to Chicago. Before that I could easily pull women (women who actually LIKED men and sex), get well-paying jobs on the fly, buy a luxury sports car out of pocket, party regularly with new and constant friends, network with successful professionals regularly, meet single women everyday, rent and have my own apartment out of pocket, had NO CLUE what a "mangina" was because I never had the displeasure of meeting one, had NO CLUE that black women existed (and thus overall I was happier), was freely able to puff herb occasionally, and more when I was living elsewhere away from Chicago/the midwest without even having to jump continent abroad. Yet it boggles my mind when I read about guys who don't have to deal with any sh:t from Chicagoland, and they live in, say, California and yet they somehow can't find ONE vαginα!

But now that I am stuck here, I have to choose my friends and networks very carefully. It's one thing to have friends that compliment your personality, but it'd be even better if they were on the same level as you and perhaps just as interested in travel and entrepreneurship and finances and you are; otherwise you're just a group of people who love Xbox, yet never decided to design the next Halo or something and better yourselves with the profit. The key is to be a leader. Don't just follow the herd or decide you will engage in something only if others will join you. They always abandon you sooner or later and leave you out in the world as a lone wolf. But being a lone wolf is a great time to network with other people and new prospects as well. The idea is to work to get out of your own Hell, your own Chicago, your own Matrix, your own Femis-fear, whatever you may call it. Everything you do should be a step toward getting the hell away from the society that you reside in. Sell your sh:t, downsize your clothes by donating, put aside hefty hobbies that clutter up your life (i.e. that drum set you never play, or all that paintball gear collecting dust), start a few businesses, read more books, etc.

I fly solo now... It's just not even worth it anymore. Even "friends" I knew since the 80's are aloof and fake so f**k it...

I'm the same way. I know all too well that before you even think about stopping to enjoy yourself, your "friends" will be nowhere to be found and surely abandon you. I've been riding solo for years. But I wonder if or how they value company in non-westernized countries; maybe that'll be a better experience of the commraderie which "friends" can offer.

[FREEDOM1]

yes - i have said screw it

western society is made up of selfish, ignorant, sheep and small mided fools and useless scum

society is set up to control men to keep them as slaves to the system

they do not have your best interests at heart

they only brainwash you to serve the system and then you have to be pretend

to be happy being a slave , otherwise there is something wrong with you

so f**k it i say, its already a mess and hope to see it collapse into a steamy ball of shit

[WPO]

I'm beyond the point. I'm saving up all my money, meanwhile working on a change of citizenship. The mindset here stinks, hypocrisy runs wild, the women are cruel, blackhearted and ignorant, it seems that the "justice" system is set up that the innocent is found guilty and the male is dead wrong even though he speaks the truth, politicians left and right continuously violate the constitution, military leaders continuously violate Sun Tzu's principles.

Bruce lee had it right: I don't consider myself an american or a certain nationality (although I am aware of it).... I consider myself as just a human being. This broadens my horizons as to no matter where in the world I go, I can easily fit in as I see them as just human beings. Too bad the typical western mindset has no concept of that, BUT thank goodness the eastern mindset does.
