What do you think about the political philosophy Anarcho-capitalism? I'm having a hard time figuring out the difference between Libertarianism and Anarcho-capitalism. I think Anarcho-capitalism is under the umbrella of Libertarianism.

You are such a troll...

Ha! Not a troll, just politically illiterate. Just wanted to know if there was a meaningful difference between those two philosophies. Since I have the time, I may spend a day or two learning more about them and perhaps someday get a book on the subject.

BTW, what is the formal definition of a troll? Is this one acceptable?

1. One who posts a deliberately provocative message to a newsgroup or message board with the intention of causing maximum disruption and argument

I certainly don't want to cause any disruption or argument on a subject I'm almost completely ignorant on.

Bravo, dajaka!

And you don't mind using prepositions to end sentences with.

I am pretty sure that McCain would be better for online poker because he has a lot of physical tells.

ya, but obama isn't republican, therefore, i'm voting for him this time.

i don't really want GB the third

McCain is rino.

i think discounting that a candidate is well spoken and seems personable is pretty dumb. also, if one candidate were slightly less qualified but much better looking than the other, he gets my vote.

Ha! I've always hated that rule.

Well in that case, since Obama stereotypically must have the biggest and most powerful c**k, he should get all the votes.

Dude, don't out yourself and get banned and all posts deleted. Lay low a bit.

do you realize how many words will be missed in important meetings because of people focusing on mccain's neck tumor?

I wanna try to pop it like a huge zit. I might have to lance it first. Think I could sell its contents on eBay?

the fact that you are married gives me hope

you are a weird dude

I'll let you in on a little secret: F**k 'em in the head and you can f**k 'em anywhere you like. Now you know where to start!

To say there is no difference with regards to Obama and McCain re: poker is blatantly wrong.

Can I remind people again that being anti-online gambling is in the Republican Party Platform?

Yes, Obama may veto pro-online gaming legislation. That is a possibility. But McCain almost certainly will.

And don't let anybody scare you into thinking 60% taxes are realistic. (for those making mega $$) Obama's plan is basically just a repeal of the Bush Tax Cuts. Think of Clinton era taxation, and you'll be pretty close.

Of course - you'd be an idiot to listen to advice from some random forum troll. I would suggest that all of you who are politically apathetic should do some research tonight. (You can probably start by YouTubing the Presidential debates. And...please...watch closely. if you try to play poker / watch porn at the same time, I guarantee you'll get worse than nothing out of it.)

Legalized online poker (and other skill games) will become a reality once someone in government finally realizes how much money can be made. Right now they think they get more money from the B&M casino and horse racing industries. It's really not about appeasing the religious right (although that's a nice cover). It's all about the Benjamins. No one is more greedy and more capitalistic than the GOP. They just don't see the $$$ yet. YET.

If you pay close attention to the Obama camp, it is very easy to recognize that they believe in a socialistic and almost communistic approach to distribution of wealth. They think that anyone who is "well off" or "wealthy" in any way owes it to the society that made them wealthy to give back to that society. But rather than provide incentives for them to give back, they'd just take it, blow a sh*tload of it on administrative costs of big government, and redistribute it.

What they (and most of the democrats) fail to realize is that the truly "wealthy" will simply move their wealth out of the country as many have already done. Unemployment will rise as it already has. Tax and spend DOES NOT WORK.

While I agree that most people are too short-sighted to save for retirement, too weak to take good care of themselves (eat right, exercise, etc.), and certainly too undisciplined to show or otherwise teach their children anything about personal responsibility and accountability, that's certainly no reason to bail them out by "redistributing" the wealth. F**k 'em. Don't perpetuate the weakness and stupidity by rewarding it and therefore fostering it. I'm not saying we need to make it a point to punish it, either. Let it run its own course. Quit telling people that they are "special" and that they "deserve" sh*t, and especially that they should look to the government to provide it. Entitlement mentality makes me violent. OK, I'm starting to sound a little too much like Ayn Rand...

Our two main parties are a joke. One would take away all your money and try to redistribute it. One would take away all your rights to privacy, force you to be a Christian, and embark upon worldwide crusades (acting like it's about God when it's really about power...you know, the reason God was invented in the first place). The Libertarians have all the right ideas about how things "should be" but no feasible plan to "get there from here." The American public at large has had it so good for so long that they've forgotten how to think for themselves. Having it too easy breeds complacency and eventually incompetence. And now the constitution hangs from a thread and the people get what they deserve. Good times! End of rant (for now). STFU and GBTW.

the world just got a little dumber and I got a lot more tilted because of this post

Then you'd be better off going back to quoting definitions straight off Wikipedia. BTW, it is very nice to know that you are taking an active role in defining the outcomes of the things that you are passionate.

is this really preferable?

I don't want my meager winnings heavily taxed.

Government profits will definitely come primarily from site profits, not from taxing winnings/earnings. If the rake gets a little bigger, then you'll just have to play higher stakes to mitigate it. That's fine by me, I guess.

If/when you get a chance... Please sit on my face. Thanks.
