I may even have to go to the theater to see this one. An alien invasion of the old West seems worthwhile, and a topless Thirteen makes it something of a no-brainer.

Although, to be honest, I couldn't even make a good guess as to Wilde's chestsize...I've never been able to take my eyes off of her face when she's onscreen. She has the most amazing cheekbones I've ever seen.

That scenario is needlessly specific and extreme. Every argument a statist makes against a voluntary society seems to be some extreme work of fiction involving a rogue and crazy Bill Gates doing terrible things to a defenseless group of people.
The answer to your question, I don't know what I'd do. Who could plan for that? You want a system that guarantees something that's unlikely, and that's looking at it the wrong way. There's also no known protections against an alien invasion.


How about this. I'm pretty sure my neighbor stole my bong. He denies it and refuses to let anyone on his property to check. How do I, as a reformed former-statist, rectify the situation without violating the rights of my neighbor?

That was such a great bong too. I've been hauling away some friends' old tires and trash for a small fee so I had a little extra money to spend. I don't have a place to store that stuff, but it's fairly easy to burn it on the far corner of my property. Sure the fumes are toxic, but that only affects the people downwind of me. Some of those people have complained, but do they really have any other options that don't involve shooting me?


These are, of course, not about the specific situations. People are often assholes that care more about what benefits them than what affects others, and I doubt removing government will change that. These kinds of situations come up fairly often, so how does your ideal citizen and/or government (or lack thereof) handle situations similar to these?

Note: I'm not trying to disprove your stance, I'm just trying to figure out what it is.

>> ^dystopianfuturetoday:

So blankie, a hypothetical.
In an alternate volunteerist universe, you own a farm in Nebraska. Because of some nearby drilling for natural gas, your well water becomes completely contaminated and unusable. You raise your concerns with the owner of the drilling company, P. Toone Bickins, but he tells you 'tough, I'm drilling on my own land and minding my own business'.
Upon going to town you discover that P. Toone Bickins has also bought up the water supply for a 200 mile radius and all of the land surrounding the town, including all of the roads. The voluntary fee for water is $4.39 a gallon. The voluntary toll for the roads is $40 for residents, $300 for non-residents. All competing water suppliers stop servicing the town because the tolls are too expensive. P. Toone tells you that if you are unhappy, that he will generously buy your property from you at half the price you paid for it.
Some of your neighbors have sold their farms to Bickins. Some are staying put and talking about armed rebellion, but there are concerns about Bickins' large, highly trained, highly armed security squad. You contact your local minarchist magistrate, Pon Raul, to see if any legal action can be taken, but he lectures you for an hour about the evils of regulation, and how wrong it would be to coerce P. Toone Bickins into doing something he against his will.
You need water for your family, crops and farm animals, but with these new expenses, you are not sure you will have enough income to pay the bills.
What do you do?

I really wish someone would make a realistic looking alien invasion movie, and at the end of the movie, mankind was either enslaved or completely wiped out, with no effort from the aliens. and there would be no guerilla type resistance, or heroes saving the day. It would be a dark ending.

yeah, man! and what about a disney movie where the animals can't talk or sing and they just sit around all day and sleep? you and me should start a production company called Bankruptcy and immediately declare it!


HAHA!!

^ Yeah, I've heard nothing good about Skyline. War of the Worlds (the newer) comes about as close to Empire's description that I've seen, the first 30 minutes anyway. After that, Spielberg switches to autopilot.

Anyone here ever watched Testament? Lynne Littman, 1983? It's not an alien invasion movie but it is the correct way to make an apocalypse movie: no guns, no explosions, no special effects whatsoever save for a fade to white when the bombs hit. I weep like a little girl with a skinned knee every time I watch that movie. And I'm a manly man. No really. I have a beard and everything.

Seriously, Testament shows what a character-driven apocalypse movie can be. And it has a very dark yet satisfying ending.

You should watch Skyline.

I still think Signs is great. FTR I don't think God was talking to Mel Gibson's character at all. That shit was in his head. I also think the aliens we saw were the equivalent of fox-hounds, and if there was ever a Signs 2 it'd be the most depressing movie ever because everyone would be dead, probably for alien food, and the planet strip-mined of resources.

It was great to see an alien invasion from a single perspective. One of the reasons I also love the 2005 War of the Worlds.

Not that I think an alien invasion would resemble either of those scenarios in real life.

The Gods Must Be Crazy 3: Alien Invasion

OMG.. An alien-invasion type movie that ISNT primarily set in america?

The fkface federal mafia won't defend the borders, so why should they have anyone else be concerned about this one particular footnote of the illegal alien invasion/drug Prohibtion?

We're in some kind of twisted, satirical hell/matrix, didn't you get that memo?

Actually, my money is on covert alien invasion. About 8 years ago aliens came in the night and shoved us into fleshy-duffle bags where our minds, linked up by technology we cannot even begin to grasp, have slowly degenerated into madness.

In reply to this comment by conan:
I don't believe it any longer. Palin can't be true, i'm convinced she isn't real. This is all just a joke to entertain people.

*promote, sometimes people can remain too calm about alien invasions involving zombified humans.
