What on earth are you babbling on about?

I said I am Libertarian- I believe in the freedom of the individual.

You claim this ensures we disagree on everthing.

Ergo you presumably are in favour of a Totalitarian state.

You encourage an increase in State power and the nanny state.

You are in favour of more rules/regulations.

I am in favour of rules and regulations targeted at the right places. As you're getting to show there's a HUGE need for rules requiring politiocal education to replace ridiculous self-serving false ideas.

I am not in favour of rules that allow people to exploit others while allowing those exploiters to laughingly think of themselves as libertarians.

Libertarians want rules no differently to anyone else, it's merely that they want rules that free themselves from restrictions to allow them to enslave others.

I kinda understand ME's point of view. He busts a gut for a year laying on some of the finest entertainment the world has to offer, and all people are interested in is getting so off their faces that they don't remember anything. It does make me wonder why some people bother to buy a ticket...

No because most Libertarians believe in a moral code that often prevents this.

Consequential Libertarians believe it is not always wrong to shoot someone though. e.g. if said person is holding a knife to an innocents throat, has explosives strapped to them in a shopping centre etc etc

So what you're saying is exactly my point. That what the meaning of the word is is entirely your interpretation, and its possible to have opinions on personal liberty which entirely clash with someone elses view which has the same label.

Yeah the other thing is just to say you've been. "I went to Glasto and did loads of shit I couldn't get away with at home", it's a very appealing situation to people especially if £200 is easily affordable.

Nevertheless a very valid point.

Illegal drugs fund crime. End of.

Anyone taking illegal drugs is funding crime and all that comes along with it, including violence and murder.

From those "magic pills" to the seeds that grow cannabis, 99% of illegal drugs fund crime.

I suggest you read up on the subject, then come back when you know what you are talking about.

or perhaps you read something which doesn't pander to your prejudices? :rolleyes:

Are their rules that protect the property that you wish to acquire via the exploiting of others you wish to do, or not?

Funnily enough, I reckon they're a set of rules that you think should exist and that your libertarian views don't even accept as being rules in the first place.

But rules they are, and rules that work to your advantage. So they're rules you're quite happy with.

Now, tell me again how you're fully against state interference.

No point was made.

and can you back up that statistic? and you could argue that all illegal drugs fund crime, because they're illegal!

Presume you'd be in favour of decriminalisation then, solve the problem? in fact, decriminalise everything, and you wont have any crime! problem solved.

    • Tonight was a disgrace. There wasn't *that* much rain, and it wasn’t *that* windy. A festival of this size should be able to withstand some adverse weather without it bringing the whole circus to a standstill. And if it is true that part of a speaker on the Revolut stage fell…   As for the communication - announcing Massive Attack were playing at 12:30 and then nothing for over an hour while people waited in the rain. It’s laughable it really is.   If I said I’ll never come back again I’d be lying. The shambles of Barcelona 2022 and the disgrace of Madrid 2023 didn’t stop me, so this probably won’t either.   This festival gets so much wrong, but it is always saved by having such killer line-ups. It’s just a shame it treats the fans/customers/consumers like animals. Compare it to somewhere like Glastonbury and it’s worlds apart.
    • Yeah, I admit that a small part of me felt relieved when they announced that MA are canceled.. But on the positive side- got to see Florence Road afterall, and they were great
    • Glad I could take the €3 bus to Playa Catalunya! Hope y'all warm and dry up.
    • Taxi mafia running their usual scam.
