Pay Pal founder and early Facebook investor Peter Thiel has given $1.25 million to an initiative to create floating libertarian countries in international waters, according to a profile of the billionaire in Details magazine.

-snip-

Details says the experiment would be "a kind of floating petri dish for implementing policies that libertarians, stymied by indifference at the voting booths, have been unable to advance: no welfare, looser building codes, no minimum wage, and few restrictions on weapons."

(emphasis mine)

Looser building codes is definitely a moral imperative when building an ocean platform.....

And just wait until the damned splicers start in!

Ha.... It would seem that you are just as skeptical of this "Utopia" as I am.....

It's not necessarily the ideas that they want to implement that worries me; I just cant think of one positive thing about the location....

I'm guessing that the Paypal founder wasn't the one who made paypal such an anti-gun company?

Being female and heterosexual I'll hold out for the Constitutional Islands. The men will be way smarter.
