"a kind of floating petri dish for implementing policies that libertarians, stymied by indifference at the voting booths, have been unable to advance: no welfare, looser building codes, no minimum wage, and few restrictions on weapons."

Yes, I know I'm never getting rid of this signature

That would be hilarious if they made it happen, but due to structural shortcomings as a result of looser building codes, the whole thing collapsed, sunk and they all died...

(about wearing sunglasses to stare at boobs without girls noticing)

this sounds like the worst idea ever.

This is why I choose to never associate myself with the libertarian party. Why is it that "economically right, socially left" is the ideology that attracts all the crazies?

looser building codes[...] few restrictions on weapons.

Anyone think he's just trying to see if he can get away with watching a bunch of people die for entertainment?

We'll know for sure when someone leaks the blueprints and the city is littered with chest-high walls.

A society free of moochers and beauracracy sounds like utopia to me, although it would never work out as good as projected. I think libertarians are the only political party that actually want to lawfully abide by and uphold the constitution.

Fold 'em

Exactly like in Bioshock, this sort of thing is a good idea until you realize that it can never be done successfully.

I hope it happens just because I'd like to see the result.

There was a signature here. It's gone now.

Nothing actually. I think B8 voted Rapture as the second best gaming world they'd like to live in behind Pokemon (which won by an overwhelming margin).

....Obviously something went wrong. Are you saying that it was more of a random event then a systematic flaw?

A power-hungry individual took control under the banner of socialism and "The People."

Uh...things went wrong way before that. That whole movement sprout up as a result of the bad things that were happening, and was not the cause of it.

But this isn't a Bioshock discussion topic! It is a topic about our plans to build a competing city.

How did a socialist gain power in a libertarian enclave?

it sounds like it wasn't much of a utopia if someone was able to take power "for the people". I think that would imply people feeling unhappy with the way things are going.

It was more Ryan decided to ban things that couldn't be easily banned, like religion. Fontaine came along with his 'Hey guys, I'll totally let you have your religion and **** if you become my army' and things kind of snowballed from there

Hmm, sounds like it was not very close to the libertarian ideal in the first place then!
