i actually live in this area and have lived with tropical peoples and do have relatives that live in indonesia. its a complex place with many villages and many cultures and its central government is laughably irrelevant to most... in many ways its a libertarians dream with localised rulesets and all...

well its true to say that if you go into any community and reject the memes that the community believes holds it together you are in for a wild ride. not so true to say you will always be bashed by them and then the police will arrest you for causing a disturbance. i wouldnt be blaming it particula...

cant go flapping round in circles, it reminds people of headless chooks.

yep, its the right wing social conservatives who are equally as keen as left wing authoritarians when it comes to getting into private spaces and punishing individuals for "wrong choices". it does cloud the arguments with double standards and it does scare off moderates with libertarian te...

the ever evolving gfc part 2 (aka, lavender we hit the credit card too early and too hard) is proving to be the slow motion trainwreck many predicted it would be.

as such, my sense that it needs to be "post apocalypse" isnt pessimistic at all....

that is a minority viewpoint in the modern west...im quite the loon for believing it myself but im not loony enough to fool myself into thinking its mainstream. mainstream has a mantra that goes "government should do something about....." and that mantra can be heard from both sides of the...

Generally, reptile sucks. I'll eat it before bugs, but I'm going to have to be far from food to even think on it. ive only tried crocodile and from that id agree... chewy and the worst kind of "fishy" and those that have eaten alot of it tell me you start to smell like that if you consume...

american university graduates are just falling over themselves to spend all day in dark room hovering over a soldering iron and breathing in lead vapours.

thats what occupy is about.

blink.

noddy

all sorts of language in that article which come from certain left wing intellectual memes which shall not be named ;P

anyway.

the biggies: water, land and important minerals arent becoming less scarce so that leaves half of the outcomes as impossible.

nonononoon they are future members of the eu arent they ?

or was that greater china.....

yeh well, would need to turn everyone amish and return to the days when all a leader could do is rant and wait weeks n months for the horse powered postal service to deliver said rant to a community that ignored it cause it was too busy staying alive. i do suspect the western mentality has never bee...

man o man, you should fully understand the place before attempting such as this. so many euros die horrid in the australian bush, wrong assumptions, wrong gear, wrong wrong wrong... id only even consider doing this locally, in a place i know backwards... even moving to the other side of australia f...

“By attaching the device to the Jeep” that Jones was using, “officers encroached on a protected area,” Scalia wrote. unless im mistaken this is about attaching "yet another" tracking device to the vehicle and has nothing todo with current abilities to "search the logs" on existi...

i think all of you make excellent points and i dont disagree with much. and thats just it, the middle is just a wishy washy, go with the flow, react to the moment short term exploitive beast with no principles .. simple mindeds description is pretty much saying that. i just thought winning politics ...

From cane knife to khukri. South of about 30 degrees latitude, a machete is a far better thing to have than an axe, though an axe always has its place. Reason I took the picture is the sheath, however. Just had it made by Half Breed, pretty much won't ever go on my belt, just strapped to my ruck. G...

There's no showing these people. They don't have coping skills located anywhere on the spectrum between " do nothing/ same old thing" and " go batshit". So like the little old not- so- Puritain was alleged to have said:

"More weight.".

noddy

blah to your whining :) least you lot actually have people (paul,johnson,huntsman) who hold a candle up for libertarian thinking. in my country we have the minority coalition of environazis and unionists versus the madmonk who wants to use the navy to blow up asylum seekers and not one single candid...

watched a bit of the florida redneck alligator hunting documentary series on tv the other day, the everglades seems to be an awesome place, nothing like it in my world experience.

could definately see it being possible to live off the land in an environment like that.
