As always it was an American, a freethinker that unlike others is enabled with the creativity, and balls to not only think of something new and different, but to actually do it! (btw this damned site is getting so dull that someone has to shake it up a little bit occasionally!)

". They have an idea to build floating houses. Great. The Dutch have been doing it for decades but haven't tried to turn it into an ideology. If they are talking about waters that are not territorial then they mean hundreds of miles offshore. Hands up those who want to live the utopian dream in the middle of the ocean? If this is such a great idea, why are they asking for donations like a charity? They should have a prospectus and be offering investment opportunities. In my opinion you would be a mug to hand over any money to this mob.
If you were to go outside the 12 mile limit here on Bali you'd have to go down 1.5km to hit the sea floor. Possibly a slight problem as I believe these proto-nations have to be built on solid ground and can't just be floating like a boat. Nice try though...

Yeah, but once I start I just can't stop. Hope Tokopedia has some sort of cure.

Kind of like the 'creative and ballsy' decision to elect an obviously corrupt and mentally ill buffoon as president just because of a misogynist dislike of the other candidate.
Dunno, I think it's a pretty stupid and wasteful idea, and one that's virtually guaranteed to result in failure. Kind of like the 'creative and ballsy' decision to elect an obviously corrupt and mentally ill buffoon as president just because of a misogynist dislike of the other candidate.[/QUOTE]There could have been more than just a misogynist dislike, but there is truth in the lack of choice. With so few adjectives for her opponent you almost seem to be middle-of-the road.
