Some of the libertarians were told that their dream gov is somolia, and should move. They put their country as somolia as a way of saying their libertarian.

If I do that, can I still come to the WI HTF?  I promise no piracy or Fatwas.

Seems like a douche/immature move to claim Somalia as your homeland...  Oh well.  Move there then with your badass selves!!!  Carry on.

Thank you for the explanation.  The reason was lost to me.

Nobody is going to move there. It was simply a smart-ass response to all of the retards around here who try to equate Libertarianism with anarchy.

For some people, it might also be due to the fact that the Somalian flag looks a lot like the Bonnie Blue flag of the Confederacy. But for most, it's just a funny Arfcom way of saying that they are Libertarians. If you think that's a "douche move", then you might be the douchebag...

Did it ever occur to anyone with a fake Somalia location, that American servicemen lost their lives there, it's pretty much a terrorist/piracy infested nation (thus our enemy in a way), and "flying" a Somalian flag on your internet personality could be offensive to some Americans, including Libertarians?

Fly whatever flag you want. It's your right. And it's my right to judge you accordingly.

Borders, flags, nationalism, patriotism.. it's all an infantile disease of the human species.  

Now...where's the entrance to the wormhole...I gotta get out of here...

It's no more offensive than being called a Liberal or anarchist because you support the Libertarian platform. I realize that general discussion is overloaded with dumbasses, but if you spent a little time there, you would understand where the Somalian flag deal came from. And American serviceman have lost their lives all over the globe (including on U.S. soil), so that's not a reason to not fly an internet flag from somewhere else. There are Arfcom members who fly the Iraqi or Afghani flag, because that is their current location. It's just an Arfcom joke, so don't take it too seriously.

That's the understatement of the year.

Your above sentence in red is exactly why I avoid it.

Oh, I don't. I just thought that some others might. Like maybe non-members just taking a look?

Over reactive post is over reactive.

If you spend a lot of time getting up to speed on what other people are doing, and then voicing negative responses, it tends to mean that you've got too much time on your hands.

I thought it was because the stereotypical Arfcommer is fat, and they just wanted to feel like they were from the nation of the "skinnies".
