Yeah like watching Drake and Josh and he's clearly playing a Playstation but the usual beeps and blips are throw out of his tv's speakers and though if he was playing Namco museum...

The there was that time he had an Okama Gamesphere.

And then theres those commercials from Duracell that always talk about "Those aliens on level 8" and once again there's those beeps and blips coming out of a GBA.

But thats been quoted more times than needed. It seems everyone is actually so ignorant as to believe that everyone fights aliens in every game they play.

Personally I think Nicolas Cage is a closet-jew. He's wormy and got sort of a neurotic Woody Allen feel to him, but he keeps landing unfitting roles as bad-asses and tough guys by saying he's Italian-American. If people knew he was Jewish, the way he sounds and acts would be seen as just be a wimpy little Jew and he wouldn't be able to get away with the roles he plays.

It's not that it's no law, it's that it is privatized law. The problem with the privatization of any type of judiciary portion is that it is inherently run by money (see U.S. private prisons).

Absolutely bullshit, if you read this:

http://royhalliday.home.mindspring.com/history.htm

It existed many times in history, including the american midwest which was the most peaceful time in american history.

In a free market, law is decided by the consumer(society) not politicians. Competition makes sure no firm can have too much power because the people will simply use another one.

Oh, and even with private money sources, there will always end up being some sort of primary tradeable base unit, whether it's gold, copper, or whatever else. With multiple monetary types backed by different interests, there would be currency trade and investment...but there would have to be a thing which could serve as a type of currency for all potential parties...it just wouldn't be federal money. The only reason I bring this up is that the new base unit of value would be the thing that the country would actually run on, and could be secretly traded between multiple private interests as an effective means of controlling the populace.

[AnusMoony !!UDpQoP3QLU6 No.1037738]

>>1037717
So where does enforcement of basic standards of ethics come from? There have always been police forces...even if those police forces were the entire populace (mob justice). If we are to maintain modern society, how do we go about maintaining a strong standard of living without the type of specialization present in a society with a strong central regulatory force. It would be incredibly easy to slip through the cracks and live as a rogue on the borders between different company properties. Any sort of cooperation between these private governors would have to be a type of collusion. That collusion is the unfortunate beginning of a potential cabal. Different "sides" could pretend to be in opposition toward each other, while secretly allied. The false wars serve as an eternal divider which allows for full conquest when the "rivals" actually reveal their cooperation.

The law, which is discovered over time, like prices are discovered.

>Any sort of cooperation between these private governors would have to be a type of collusion.
No, tech companies cooperate all the time but do not collude, and even if they did(but they don't) and raised prices or tried to be dicks, another firm will come along to break them up by stealing their marketshare, or one of the companies in the cartel will break the cartel because of the incentive for higher profits if they do so.

>Different "sides" could pretend to be in opposition toward each other, while secretly allied. The false wars serve as an eternal divider which allows for full conquest when the "rivals" actually reveal their cooperation.

Secretly trading allows for absolute control of the value of a commodity by sharing in stockpiles. This is especially the case when such a commodity is an absolute necessity.
>If you do something illegal you will be arrested or fined, no matter who you are
Illegal according to whom? Who will track me down and take me out? If I sabotage one company, why would another company want to hurt me instead of hire me?
>tech companies cooperate...
They don't collude because it is illegal to collude. When there is no centralized legal system, what stops them? Other companies? War?
The American Midwest is not the only example of chaotic forms of government.
>the hell are you...?
Ancient Rome under Julius Caesar wherein he used allegiances and populism to gain enormous influence, then killed his allies to seize imperial centralized power.
