LRN.FM - The Liberty Radio Network / Re: Suggestion for a show on LRN
« on: July 09, 2009, 10:02:54 PM »
Yeah, Adam Curry is also the jerk running Mevio (formerly Podshow) cheating people in his network out of their content, stealing content from people not in his network, and generally being douchey.
If you want real liberty oriented shows for LRN, go get Jimmy Doane. Hilarious and informative, always liberty oriented. Also, Libertarian Dime runs a tight ship with regular postings, though generally liberty-oriented, host Shane Brady does happen to support courts and guns deciding what is and is not true (I'm doing my best to show him why he's wrong). Cato has a daily podcast which is liberty-minded in a limited/constitutional government way. Econ talk is excellent, regular, and educational. While not strictly liberty-oriented, Russ Roberts is distinctly pro-market and often talks about public choice theory (the principal/agent problem at the heart of government's inability to function) and is great background for any liberty minded person to have when trying to communicate with statists. Freedom watch has an audio podcast... Just a few ideas.

LRN.FM - The Liberty Radio Network / Re: We need a logo!
« on: June 06, 2009, 10:05:48 AM »
I've worked this up from google and photoshop, I'm currently negotiating with dale to maybe have him draw it up. I was going to use it for my own LRN station when I get my transmitter, but I would be honored if LRN was interested in using it for their official seal...
The motto at the top is just a placeholder, for the finished version I'm looking to get someone to translate 'rights require no permission' or a similar phrase into latin.

Free Radio Forum / Re: Where to find "real" transmitters (and antennas) for FM and AM.
« on: June 02, 2009, 10:05:12 AM »
Has anyone used the HLLY transmitters? Very cheep (5W ~$100, 20W ~$200) but I would be interested to hear if anyone can report on the quality.
These transmitters show up on ebay every now and again, or can be bought direct from http://www.hllyelectronics.com

The Polling Pit / Re: Which Right?
« on: August 11, 2008, 03:57:07 AM »
No, I was being jovial. I didn't think anyone was actually trying to take me down a peg. Anyhow, in my experience we mock the ones we love, so I'm glad to get a bit of friendly jostling.

The Polling Pit / "Sic semper tyrannis"
« on: August 09, 2008, 03:22:12 PM »
I often want to use this phrase, but have been shying away from it because I don't want to be associated with the revisionist stigma of racism that permeates every facet of the war between the states.

First time poster.
OH MY GOD. I HAVE MAN RADAR.
Watch him turn out to be gay...
Or have a really small dick.
Wow, you guys sure can talk a whole lot'a smack in an evening.
Yeah, I've been an AMP for several months now, but just decided to jump on the forums here. I hope I'm not stepping on anyone's toes getting all topless and sexified for the freedom loving ladies... As as for the size of my most prized appendage, well, ya'know what women always say: 'Ouch!'

The Polling Pit / Re: What is your Religion
« on: August 09, 2008, 03:01:54 PM »
It doesn't really matter how convinced you may be personally. The fact is that the existence of god, gods, etc. is an untestable premise. As such it does not fall under the preview of science. No series of logical arguments could convincingly affirm or deny the premise. Therefore the existence of god is not a rational question. It seems to me most efficacious to investigate why people choose to irrationally believe, or irrationally disbelieve.
In my experience, most disbelievers think themselves better, more rational, sometimes even more 'evolved' thinkers who have no need for the fairy-tales of the mindless masses. Myself believing that all men are more or less equal, I see no reason to look down my nose at those who have had experiences they interpret as divine. I have no reason to call them liars, and I know for a fact they aren't all stupid. As I can neither prove nor disprove their claims, and have no inherent reason to doubt them, I feel the only intellectually honest course is to leave open the possibility in my mind. To admit that I have no idea.

The Polling Pit / Re: What is your Religion
« on: August 09, 2008, 12:11:57 PM »I don't know ANY atheist who claims to know to 100% certainty that no god exist. It would require a COMPLETE knowledge of the universe to say for sure either way. Now I know alot of Atheists who will claim in a very practical and general way that there is no god, but any I have ever met would claim that they cannot be certain, as any reasonable person would admit it would be impossible to do so.
I guess you've never taken a spin over to the Skepticality or Skeptic's Guide threads. Self styled atheists there purport to know with certainty that there is no god, and furthermore make up funny new classifications like 'functional atheist' to try and convince you that you do too. It was this experience coupled with an inability to provide substantive responses to the fallacies in the IPCC report that left me disenchanted with the whole skeptical movement. On the plus side, more time for me to spend working toward liberty in my lifetime.

The Polling Pit / Re: Boycott Beijing Olympics?
« on: August 09, 2008, 01:32:38 AM »
Would someone who voted for boycott please give me a single example anywhere in history where isolating a nation from the world community lead to greater peace and prosperity for the citizens of that nation?
...Didn't think so.
It's fun to play at 'holier then thou' and hold your nose, but that neither keeps us safer from the red menace nor enlightens them.

I absolutely don't have time to read through ten pages of posts, so I apologize for almost certainly being redundant here, but what about Agnostic?

The Polling Pit / Re: How old were you when you tried drugs for the first time?
« on: August 09, 2008, 01:03:09 AM »
Booze once at 16, twice at 18, and now every darn night.
Coffee? Really; doesn't count.
Cigs, 18. Later I bought a pipe when Seattle banned smoking in public and tried to get into the habit as a form of protest, but gosh darn-it, crap tastes like licking ash. I don't believe anyone's addicted to tobacco.
I've seen weed three times now, smoked it zero.
Nothing harder.
