Well, he did do the Libertarian thing and contacted other actors to help him enforce his claim.And apparently throwing a fit and sabotaging your own country is the hip Libertarian thing to do when things don't work out your way.
bay12'ers played a political strategy game together (simRepublic), where we settled as Libya. and we tried to help GreatJustice out by giving him a communally-built glass factory to run (a government grant basically). He didn't manage to construct anything by himself.Nice example of 'socialism' on the glass there buddy.
He then declared he had mandated ownership of all the sand (used for glassmaking) in Libya. sand was just random stuff lying around on the maps that anyone can pick up. when other people collected and used the sand themselves ("it's a free world dude"), he threw a royal hissy-fit and proceeded to sabotage everyone else's work, and conspired with the governments of countries hostile to Bay12's Libya.
Funny how people's "deeply felt" ideologies suddenly collapse in these sort of simulations. I would've thought that a "libertarian" would have accepted that if a declared property right could not be enforced, it didn't exist.
I like how you have not posted a single link, source, reference, and have literally paid not one iota of attention to my argument. You haven't even linked to the WHO report you claim "proves me wrong" (though it has not a single connection to any of my arguments so far).
This also deserves it's own reply:Quote from: WikiSingapore was ranked 6th in the World Health Organization's ranking of the world's health systems in the year 2000.[1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Singapore
Singapore has a non-modified universal healthcare system where the government ensures affordability of healthcare within the public health system, largely through a system of compulsory savings, subsidies and price controls.
EDIT- part of this posted earlier ^^^
They force you to set aside a large portion of your wages for retirement and future healthcare needs.
One of the most socalised and regulated countries in the world, ranked 6th in healthcare by WHO.
So let's look at the other winners...
1: France = extremely socialist (one of universal health care largely financed by government national health insurance. In its 2000 assessment of world health care systems, the World Health Organization found that France provided the "close to best overall health care" in the world.[1])
2: Italy = 75% socalised Healthcare is provided to all citizens and residents by a mixed public-private system.
3: San Marino = highly socalist San Marino has a high standard of compulsory, state-funded healthcare and medical staff are highly qualified
4: Andorra = extremely socialist Healthcare in Andorra is provided to all employed persons and their families by the government-run social security system, CASS (Caixa Andorrana de Seguretat Social), which is funded by employer and employee contributions in respect of salaries.[47] The cost of healthcare is covered by CASS at rates of 75% for out-patient expenses such as medicines and hospital visits, 90% for hospitalisation, and 100% for work-related accidents. The remainder of the costs may be covered by private health insurance. Other residents and tourists require full private health insurance
5: Malta = Free healthcare socialism Malta has a long history of providing publicly funded health care. The first hospital recorded in the country was already functioning by 1372.[119] Today, Malta has both a public healthcare system, known as the government healthcare service, where healthcare is free at the point of delivery, and a private healthcare system.
Are you starting to notice a pattern about how successful socalised healthcare is?

It proves that you are either a troll or have no idea what you are doing.QuoteAlso, someone PMed me about your 'Libertarian' exploits in Simrepublic.
Truly a relevant topic worth expansion upon in the American Election Megathread
It is the rainy season, and has been thunderstorming every day. I'm spending time with relatives and have a bit of downtime. I noticed that even though I was pretty active in vector's thread, I never really posted in this one. So here I am.
Good to see you a bit more active again, by the way. Are you gonna stay around for a while, or is it just the Thai rain period making you bored?
Disclaimer: I have no idea when in the year the rain season actually is.
Pretty sure greatjustice is a troll. He never did respond to all my facts on socialism in Singapore (since I was there) and how WHO rated a bunch of socialist countries with best health care in the world.
When presented with facts he either runs or threadshits a bunch of irrelevant or false information.
