"This world is an uncertain realm, filled with danger. Honor undermined by the pursuit of power, freedom sacrificed when the weak are oppressed by the strong. But, there are those who oppose these powerful forces, who dedicate their lives to truth, honor, and freedom..."

"Scientists should never be as wedded to their theories that they are no longer capable of refuting them in the light of new findings, scientific research is all about results, not beliefs." Reinhard Hüttl, head of the German Research Center for Geosciences and the president of the German Academy of Science and Engineering,

Minarchism[edit]

This User is most definately a Minarchist!!!

In civics, minarchism (sometimes called minimal statism,[1] small government, or limited-government libertarianism[2]) refers to a political ideology which maintains that the state's only legitimate function is the protection of individuals from aggression.[2][3] Minarchists defend the existence of the state as a necessary evil,[1][4] but assert that it may only act to protect the life, liberty, and property of each individual.

A minarchist state would therefore consist of very few branches/parts of government, in the most minimal way - such as, for an example, courts (but not necessarily). Generally, minarchists identify themselves within the broader propertarian libertarian movement.

Them Romans[edit]

"...apart from the sanitation, medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?"

"They made it safe to walk the streets at night." "Remember what it was like here before?", "Yeah, it wasn't safe to walk the streets at night." and "Lets face it, only the Romans could keep peace in a place like this."

"Brought peace?"


Cold War[edit]

An oxymoron? I remember that the Soviet Union and Communist China were once, and some would say still are, "the" Evil empires of the world. I remember seeing the Fall of the Berlin Wall on TV. The cold war fascinates me, what if we still had the Soviet Union, what would the world be like today? Would Soviet citizens be allowed on the Internet? Would they write blogs? I like how they were always trying to copy the west. Here is a table with a list of examples:
