“I thought it was going to be a place to send all the libs.”

I thought too just by the name alone. Good to know Jefferson is going to be their template. I still have to hear about guns, defense of the border specifically to make a solid judgement..

100’s of 1000’s of idiots hwo know NOTHING about the owner of liberland, or where he stand politically. The ‘only stipulations are that people respect the rights, opinions, and personal property of others’? How vague can you be? Suppose it’s someone’s Opinion that it’s a-ok to take you wife and have sex with her? does their ‘individual right’ and ‘opinion’ outweigh yours? Suppose their opinion is that you are not entitled to have as much property as you do?

Is there a constitution (and a hard fast rule/law that it can’t be changed or subjectively interpreted into oblivion) that clearly defines what rights are?

I give the country 6 months before it devolves into a cesspool of everyone demanding that THEIR opinions be considered more important than their neighbor’s

It says, “Liberland’s only stipulations are that applicants respect individual rights, opinions and private property,” So no.

Yep. So many people in our society would not be willing to follow this simple law. So many people in our own government want to take your rights away, steal your property, and tell you what opinions you must hold. And that's just the Republicans :-)

[backwoods-engineer]

Actually, no. For a plausible extrapolation in fiction, read L. Neil Smith's "Probability Broach" novels.

Also, our own country started out that way, pal.

You mean, as opposed to a country that has a drinking song as its national anthem?

"You mean, as opposed to a country that has a drinking song as its national anthem?"

the Star Spangled Banner was originally a poem that was put to the music of a popular drinking song (To Anacreon in Heaven). However, the Star Spangled Banner itself was never a drinking song. Besides, I like drinking songs... :-)

whatever pal.

It looks beautiful to me. No government or politician in sight.

[Bob434]

and by the way pal- it is a much much different country today than it was back then- practically EVERYONE is out for themselves these days- hardly anyone gives a crap about others-

I stand by what I said

I’m of Irish descent, I kinda’ like ‘em myself.
