I did it! I subscribed. Under my own brazen name. Soon I will join the ranks of eagerly awaiting subscribers anticipating the mailman's delivery near the end of every month ( Read more... )

I like a woman with some ASS on her. The playboy chicks are even too skinny for my liking. This whole "obesity" craze is all a bunch of BS if you ask me. People are supposed to be a little fat. That is the way we are designed. I keep hearing this "diversity" BS in the liberal community but when it comes to body weight they are all like "obesity causes all these health problems" but I think that the damn dieting craze is what causes all the health problems and only leads to people getting even fatter in the end ( ... )

I've been a playboy subscriber for about 3 years now. It's actually not that expensive and you get lots of good articles [seriously!] in the issues. It's actually really informative and has good political and entertainment coverage. I keep them on my living room side table stacked up with a vase on top! My mom always puts a newsweek or something on the top of the stack when she comes over, but usually people break them out and start reading like any other coffee table book ( ... )

"Playboy libertarians" are people that think you can have bourgeois income without bourgeois(conservative) culture. I love looking at sexy women, so I'm not perfect in this regard and people can do what they want, but I don't think it should be celebrated as something good. The culture it promotes is not compatible with a libertarian society which requires a culture of of low time preferences. Meaning restraining one's immediate desires for greater gains in the future.

Color me "playboy libertarian" then. I'm not interested in some bourgeois culture that will stifle me. On second thought, don't put me in any box with any label. Well, I guess if you need to categorize people, you'll do what you need to to simplify the world into something more easily digestible. I only plan on living once and I'm going to have fun. I found studying Shakespeare at Oxford University fun, but I also found the very proletarian party at the Playboy Mansion fun. See, now don't you wish you had boundaries like mine?

I thought maybe you might tell me where my reasoning on the compatibility between bougeois culture and libertarianism was wrong. Instead you just told me how much you're offended by it and chewed me out for even raising the idea. That's all right. Good day.

I found your comment amusing, but not offensive. To be honest I've never thought about what sort of culture Libertarianism dictates. I thought the whole point of a free society was not to dictate anything at all. What amused me (and kind of saddens me as well, in a way) is that this attitude and the endless labels is all too familiar to me. Do you dunk or sprinkle? Do you drink and/or dance? Do you say trespassers or debtors? Does the bread actually transubstantiate or is it just symbolic? How many angels can fit on the head of a pin? It's all pointless, it splinters the body to the point that its ineffective and alienates outsiders. It has alienated me, both from the church and from the party.

Do you categorize shoes into footwear and apples into fruit? If so, I guess you're just being simplistic and having to categorize the world to make it easier to digest. Do you distinguish between men and women? Oh, well there you go again. We have to differentiate between things to understand anything. In case you haven't noticed, not everything in the world's the same. Do you have any common sense at all?
