It's pretty dead, unorganized and poorly thought out. But gay? I think not.

Even a dog knows you're supposed to do that outdoors.

I guess this could be the place where I introduce myself... I'm Marianne, and as some of you already found out - I'm from Maryland of USA Inc! I'm in the suburbs about over 60 miles south of the District of Criminals. I'm 33. I've been so Woke A.F. since January of last year. I was never a full-fledged statist, meaning I never voted. I honestly didn't really understand politics when I was younger, and just didn't pay attention to it a lot of the time. Last year, I became among the latest to be aware of the FEMA Supreme Court hearing about getting caught red-handed for their cover-up of leaking formaldehyde making thousands of innocent people really sick in those trailers after Hurricane Katrina happened in 2007. I found an old corporate media report on it on YouTube. Then, soon after that I saw a 19 minute long documentary of people who can't afford safer homes still living inside those poison trailers. A researcher and medical anthropologist had traveled all across Amerika to test the safety of their homes. The detail I thought to be the most disgusting in this video was that the "Not For Housing" stickers had been removed before the trailers were re-sold, after FEMA had auctioned the trailers off in the beginning of 2010, soon after the order of keeping all of them in one place had been dropped. And no one had warned anyone who purchased any of them of formaldehyde poisoning. (This documentary I saw by the way, hosted by this researcher Nicholas Shapiro, was uploaded on YouTube in late August of 2015.) Questions about why the lamestream media would be hush-hush about this led to finding out what else they weren't talking about. So, that's how I first started inwardly waking all the way up! ...I still have a bunch of books and PDF versions of books over various subjects to read through, for self-education, and researching purposes. I've collected loads of memes (both truthful in either the brutal or satirical way). I have found close to 600 songs about various real-world issues in addition to anti-state/pro-liberty ones that help keep my mind sharp. (I've been mostly listening to Muse all of this week.) Sometimes, I like engaging in intellectual discussions. It's interesting to learn from other people that way. Once in a while, I encounter one to a few morons. They tend to be good entertainment for a little while. LOL I still have a few screenshots of memorable moments from conversations with two boneheads on Twitter. I might share those for another time... As I type this intro on and still have two tabs of Twitter stuff open, I notice one of those same two bone-heads seems desperate to troll enough to take a voluntaryist or more down a peg. I blocked him recently, but I don't need to read his tweets to know how much he's "winning" against multiple people who know he's full of it. XD What else to say... I'm quite a gamer. I enjoy both video games and board games - but board games a little more, because of the group my mom, some friends, and myself are members of, called the St. Mary's County Boardgamers. We play a wide variety of board, card, card and dice, etc. The games we play aren't as common as the respective classics like Scrabble, Life, and Battleship. ...One of the people I know in our group has a game that is similar to Battleship but it's one team VS the other in Captain Sonar, in which I have played. Once. It's interesting. Although, I'd have to play it more to like the game more. I'm multi-talented. I've been creative in some ways to help influence major positive change, and liberty - through art, and poetry. Oh, and there's some podcast + picture slide-show videos on my main YouTube channel. And some ones I did either for the laughs or just to have a little variety on the channel. (When the heck will I upload my video about toxic political euphemisms on there? I have no idea!) I write too. Currently, it's been blog entries, or answering questions and elaborating what I mean to inquisitive people who want to know more about voluntary principles on Quora.com. That's enough about me for now. xD I think I got carried away, and didn't expect my intro to be this lengthy. I must be happy to be here. I'm looking forward to good times with Origanalist, William, and everyone else on this forum.

Welcome!
No, you don't seem to be a troll. Don't mind our tongue-in-cheek labels.
A board gamer! It's nice those are making a comeback, if they ever went anywhere. They're very social, and video games really aren't. Once I'm awake (literally, not figuratively), I should start a thread on those...

Great to have you here Marianne. We never bothered much to introduce ourselves as most of us knew each other already from elsewhere.
My name is Doug, I'm 59. I work in construction. I never even went on line until somewhere around 2008. Was a VERY dissatisfied republican (as most are). Hung out at Town Hall (that has changed a lot since then) where in 2012 one poster pointed me towards Ron Paul. I honestly had never heard of him before that. Well, I finally had found someone and something I could fully support. Good times. I learned a lot the next couple years.
I have since soured on the political process to the dismay of some here I'm sure, but still feel strongly about liberty. So I morphed from a disgruntled conservative into someone who practices agorism as best as he's able in the course of a few years. Damn internet.....
Maybe this is a good time for the rest of the few regular posters here to put out a short intro if so inclined.

They're very social, and video games really aren't. Once I'm awake (literally, not figuratively), I should start a thread on those... Well I'll keep my status on my mini profile as it is for now, for everyone else to read, lol. Nah, I don't mind the labels.
Oh I could go on and on about board games. XD I have a bunch of photos I took this year, while playing with Mom and our friends. What are some of your favorites?
Nice to meetcha Doug! Yeah, Ron Paul is a well-spoken guy. I first heard of him through Larken Rose, last year. I first began to really, really understand that politics brings out the worst in people after I started watching his videos and listening to a handful of podcasts on YouTube. The larger majority may as well have their brains on backwards, lol.
