lurgeesays...*promote
siftbotsays...Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Tuesday, June 17th, 2014 4:42pm PDT - promote requested by lurgee.
brycewi19says...*wilhelm snuck in there.
siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Wilhelm) - requested by brycewi19.
newtboysays...Teabagger wannabe ex-patriots take note, here's your chance to create your libertarian free market utopia. If it doesn't happen, I don't wanna hear another word about how great one would be.
(I would note it would seem to be be far cheaper to build something like this in international waters instead of buying this one for nearly a Billion, but hey, this one's already there.)
EvilDeathBeesays...Oh my god, that's amazing!

Not exactly the private island I've always fantasized about, guess my rule as King of my own nation will have to wait for a better location.
Enzobluesays...The facts here seem straight from wiki and don't jibe with some other videos I saw. One BBC says a German named Putz invaded - no mention of Achenbach or Jet Ski's which I don't think they had in 78 did they? One interview with the grandson of the founder said a stunt pilot friend is the one who came and re-took the island, not his dad. Hmm.
chingalerasays...''Teabagger wannabes"-your tired, scripted labels son, an insipid bag of programmed newspeak designed for one simple purpose: To keep you and the minions like yourself as ineffectual and powerless as possible in order to continue feeding human fuel to the power plant as dutiful, helpless Energizer bunnies.
jubuttibsays...Kawasaki introduced Jet Skis in 1972, so they could have had them in 1978, easily.

newtboysays...I'm not your son, little one.
...and I ain't your buddy, pal
....nor am I your pal, friend
...and I'm not your friend, buddy.
Keep spouting angry drunken spittle laced vitriol, it's a helpful reminder of your incessantly insipid mannerism.
your tired, scripted labels son, an insipid sack of programmed faux-newspeak designed for one simple purpose: to garner any attention for the unpopular ineffectual and powerless attention whores that can't get positive attention for their ideas or comments so they troll for negative attention, the only kind they can get.
And the thing you (as per your MO) misquoted was "Teabagger wannabe ex-patriots", which are the idiots that whine about how awful America is 'now' and that they're going to leave the country because a socialist Kenyan is president and he's ruining the country (but they never follow through, to my chagrin)...not 'Teabagger wannabes', who just want to suck my balls....again, your comprehension has proven to be low.

9547bissays...You'll be glad to hear that such attempts actually happened with other micronations, and multiple times.
My favourite was the tiny Pacific island of Minerva (my only grief: they didn't call it 'Aynrandia'), which libertarians with too much money built up by pouring a few boatful of sand on top of the underlying reefs.
But being libertarians, the had no taxes. Having no taxes, they had no security forces. And having no security forces, a patrol boat from Tonga arrived, reclaimed the place, and told them in no uncertain terms to fuck off. The end.
There were other attempts, none as comical, but all of them equally doomed.

9547bissays...Back on topic: this is not "the World's smallest nation". It's a micronation, i.e. it has not been recognized by any sovereign state, ever. There are fishing boats with more people and room than that, and they don't issue passports.
newtboysays...Excellent! Thanks for the info! Love it!
EDIT: On further reflection, I don't love it so much. They killed the reefs, and at best displaced a population of fish for a poorly planned and executed attempt. They should have made hundreds of these, armed themselves, and tied them together....

Sagemindsays...96 Million,
I got this..., Just let me stop by the Debit Machine after work.
newtboysays...$906 million, you were off by just a bit!
Still, I'll take that 96 million since you already went to the machine. I could build myself quite a barge/nation/floating skull island for that.
96 Million,

chingalerasays...Hmmm...Seen this user before somewhere and he was spot-off and as sincere as a holiday invented by Hallmark. You got some real issues son, I ain't yer fuckin' buddy either, nor will I be a whipping-bitch to someone's dysfunction when another's observations, delivery, or banter doesn't suck a dick and tenderly caress freshly-shorn balls.
Leave a rabid dog alone for a few weeks, it may spread its disease, it may die or foam at the mouth until it bites, may have to be put-down.
The avatar you got looks feral, might wanna get her some shots....

chingalerasays...I've confessed already, as a courtesy to the umpteenth (checks thrift-store dictionary) who happened to pass in the night here, not a fucking underpass-toll-taker, either....Again, labels.
newtboyjokingly says...^ Vitriolic unintelligible trolling.
