Where are people in this forum from?

[berkshiremystery]

Live Bainbridge Island, WA  (way too grey, wet and cold... going back to Cali)

From Los Altos Hills, CA  (which didn't experience any kind of house price decline -- are you listening Broxburnboy?)

 

For Broxburnboy: 

In 2011, a house in Los Altos Hills sold for an estimated $100 million.

Wow. Those FFH leaps really paid off if you can afford a 100,000,000.00 house. LOL

 

Well, ubuy2wron, I think Ericopoly means probably Russian billionaire Yuri Milner, the founder of Digital Sky Technologies and an investor in Facebook, Groupon.

I would still have trouble buying a 1950s ranch home in Los Altos Hills.  They pretty much run for $2m+, and often get torn down to build tasteless mansions.

  Parsad if your looking at this post. I think you should implement this idea. On a few message boards you can see the flag of the country where members are from. Users can choose whether or not a flag shows up under their username. What do people think of this idea?

[cwericb]

Excellent idea.

Good idea!  I'll see if there is a mod or built-in feature that will allow us to do that.  Cheers!

Kinda off-topic, but I'd like to encourage more people to use graphic avatars (see mine on the left). It helps to quickly recognize people visually when scanning a thread, and IMO it adds some personality to the forum :)

Excellent suggestion.  Now that you mention it, I do tend to use the avatars to recognize the posts of the people who use them. I just added one to my account.

It's a dollar sign on the "Ying", but what is that on the "Yang?"  Is that the symbol for the Illuminati?  ;D  Cheers!

No it isn't an eye in a triangle or anything, it is a a capital "A" with a circle around it.

I believe the A stand for Anarchy.

Ok, that makes sense.  99% and the 1%!  ;D  Cheers!

By the way, you can now do "country flags" on your profiles.  See the "Country Flags" thead.  Cheers!

That is correct.  There are a number of different "types" of anarchists.  What they have in common is the opposition to the state.  Where they differ is in what they think society should/would look like in the absence of the state.  My views are closest to the "market anarchists", who often use the $ sign to signify the free market along with the Ⓐ to signify the absence of the state.  I also sometimes refer to myself sometimes as a "voluntarist", who don't particularly care how people organize themselves in the absence of government as long as they do it peacefully.  In my experience most of those people are also market anarchists.  The socialist anarchists who "imagine" everybody "sharing all the world"  usually think it is OK to use violence to suppress markets and trade.  People like to create things and call what they create their own.  Anyone that thinks people will ever give up property and trade without a Soviet/North Korean style totalitarian state has little understanding of human nature.  That said as a voluntarist I don't care if groups of people want to form communes and try to survive that way.  As long as they don't force people to join or force people to stay (i.e. form a state).
