Also, it should be noted that the peak oil theory was concocted by a Shell scientist, Marion King Hubbert. Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean that it won't eventually.

As for prisons, how about we stop imprisoning people for non-violent crimes, that would significantly reduce prison population and thus the cost of prisons. Stop privatizing them as well, then we can cut out the middle man who's profits derive entirely from overcharging the taxpayer for their services.


If it were up to me (a hard hearted and evil conservative) I'd put an end the war on drugs. Not that I condone the use of illicit drugs, but the war on drugs has proven itself to be an unwinnable and corrupt war. Of course it won't end in the foreseeable future (if ever) because there have been too many powerful empires built around it.


You're a libertarian, not an evil conservative which is significantly different. It's like gluttony and overeating, one is a deadly sin the other is merely bad for you. :lol:

No, I believe in a horrifically powerful and globally oppressive US military. I believe in shooting people like coyotes for illegally crossing the US border from Mexico. Those two alone put me firmly in the conservaive camp.
The average libertarian would be appalled at such attitudes. :P

Yes. All you need to do is become a big developer and tell the government about all the taxes that can be collected if they back you.

Illegal border crossing. It's a misdemeanor.

But a .308 bullet won't care one way or the other.

Well, then, I guess you like Nazism and Communism and Fascism because that's their solution to border crossings and people not having papers and being a certain group or class of people. Just shoot them, no questions asked, no trials, nothing.

Well, I guess if I really had to chose one the nazis did have better looking uniforms than the communists.
Dont you agree? :P

I equate illegal entry into any county to a stranger entering someone's house uninvited. Even if I, an American born citizen, were seen crossing the border anywhere other than at a checkpoint I'd expect a bullet or two to be sent my way. They don't know who I am or what I'm up to and if I'm circumnavigating the checkpoint it can and should be surmised that I'm up to no good.
You might recall I'm not a liberal.

Does it have to be a bullet, couldn't it just be a taser?

Nope, gotta be a boolit.

Well, I suppose that's better than grenades, missiles, and agent orange. How about a rubber bullet, could it be a rubber bullet?

Agent orange was a defoliant, not a weapon. Maybe you're thinking about napalm?



And no dice on the rubber bullets. Nothing less than good old fashioned copper jacketed lead will do. It's gotta make a little hole in one side and a nasty exit wound on the other side, having wreaked havoc on the way through. :twisted:

Remember, it was you that derailed the thread by accusing me of being a libertarian. So by now I hope you're convinced that I'm nothing less than a cruel and sociopathic conservative. :P

I still think that the best way to deal with illegal immigration from the south is to make it much easier to legally immigrate.

Also, I believe that we have precisely the immigration and border policies that are preferred by the largest employers of unskilled and semi-skilled laborers in the country.

Those employers need their migrant laborers to live in fear, or else they would expect to be treated like human beings and earn a decent wage.
