i dont pay taxes.
i refused ten years ago and have stuck with that path.
and its been sunshine and rainbows ever since....
ok..not really.my income is severely crippled due to me not paying taxes BUT goddamn does it make me feel good!

i do not pay taxes not to be a cheap ass but rather to protest a system that is so obviously rigged against me.(and you).

as for american libertarianism.
i will say they have the civil rights down.
i totally agree with their philosophy of personal liberty and right to do whatever you want as long as you aint stepping on another blokes shoes.

but when they start with the "free market" sermons i start to look at them as wide-eyed and innocent children.
do they not SEE whats going on?
free market?
what is this free market you speak of?
america is NOT a free market.
it is corporate socialism.
or welfare if you want to troll a bit.

go ahead and de-regulate corporate america.
see what happens.
better yet,just look at some african nations,or former soviet states.
guilded estates with private armies for the uber-wealthy and elite while the majority of the population live in either indentured servitude or total squalor.

i am noticing a disturbing trend here in america.its like they are preparing.
we have a government bought and paid for by corporate america,which does the corporations bidding.
the co-opting of the tea party and the crushing of occupy.
a massive surveillance operation.
militarized police forces across the country.
civil liberties made into mere "suggestions" and no longer inalienable.
executions of american citizens with no due process (bye bye habeas corpus).
a standing army that has been in place for over 60 years and a war on terror that will never end.

it is madness.

so i cannot blame my libertarian friends for calling for smaller government.
because the government has become TOO big and no longer is "for the people,by the people".
it serves its corporate masters.
which is why the "de-regulate" argument truly baffles me.

just as my liberal friends who wish to use the system to correct these imbalances.
what?
the system is utterly BROKEN.
we no longer have a functioning democracy!
why would you even suggest to use a system that threw us all overboard to lick the boots of their masters 30 yrs ago?
the mind..it boggles.

every political philosophy has its flaws.none are perfect.
libertarianism has some very good points while others are a bit...naive in my opinion.

for me the end result is this:
i do not trust power nor authority because i find them to be illegitimate until they prove themselves otherwise.
so i am suspicious when someone tries to force their authority on me based on arbitrary and subjective parameters.(like a cop,or judge or some rich dude).

i am a humanist by nature so my political philosophy flows from that birthplace.
i will never step on you to further my career nor take food out of your mouth.
corporate america has spread a propaganda campaign that is insidious.

capitalism is good.
greed is good.
dog eat dog world out there.
here,buy this,it will make you feel better.
wear that and you will be sexy.
you are lone wolf,against the world,drive this car you lone wolf and be a rebel.

its all bullshit.
human beings feel better when they are co-operating.
when they feel their life has purpose and that they are needed.
not by living in a perpetual 7 yr olds wet dream.

oh
my
god.
you fuckers got me ranting!
i hate you both......

Gotta close now. Bye bye.

Here you go. It's a translation of the voiceover, so might not be exactly what is being said in english.

This was the joker’s diary. To blend in his role he locked himself up in a hotel room for weeks. That was typical of him. He immersed himself in his characters, but this time it was on a higher lever. The hospital scene is interesting, because when he was little his sister Kate liked to dress him up as a nurse. He looked really funny like that, as he does in the movie. This is a try for the make-up 8 months prior. Before the end of the shooting of the movie he wrote on the back of the page ‘Bye bye’. It was hard to read this.

Aww! Bye bye to my 80 points!

Looks like the left rear suspension or axle went 'bye bye' as well.

The one thing he didn't touch on is that marijuana is also illegal because hemp products would have been a competitor with other artificially made fibers. The major producers of those products had more lawyers, lobbyists and deeper pockets, bye bye marijuana.

LOL! Bye bye Piers!

We used to have a map of user locations, but that's dead now unfortunately. (I think the service we used for it went bye-bye.)

I live in Irvine, California. Have lived happily in Orange County all the days of my life.

Canada is the only place I've visited that I considered a place I might be happy living.

Couldn't find a replacement. Say "bye bye video"

@vaire2ube -- you and I were the only registered Sifters who got to watch this. Aren't we special?

SOPA isn't a law. >> ^gwiz665:

Under SOPA google would be illegal too. Should we stop using google docs and gmail?
>> ^longde:
That's a risk those users chose to take.
I was shopping around for a online fileshare for a company of mine, and considered megaupload, given the good reviews it had and the deals they offered. I ultimately decided not to use MU, because of my knowledge of their illegal activity.
If I rent a room in a crackhouse or methlab, should I get upset when the cops raid it and confiscate my stuff?
>> ^gwiz665:
A lot of people were using that service for legitimate purposes, what about them? The people that shut it down owe them their data.
