Do YOU, as a full grown man...think you should be able to pay and have sex with a woman of legal age?
Do YOU think that you are capable of running your own life?
I think you would answer yes to those questions when you step back and think about it.

So basically Nordic socialism.
Yeah those are the good bits, which is why many countries of all political persuasions have these things without all the dumb libertarian shit like no public schooling, no social security, the right to discriminate, less safety and financial regulation with the base naive belief in the goodness of people to make the ideology even slightly workable and a misunderstanding of market forces.
A little libertarianism isn't a bad thing but it's really where you draw the line and what the outcomes of where you draw it are. Full blown libertarianism is every bit as fucking stupid as full blown communism but I can certainly see some places where less regulation would help but there are certainly others that need more. Hell you guys can't even use CFDs but some microcaps don't have to even submit financials, both stupid decisions (although the lack of financials on microcaps is worse for the market and more regulations would help, whereas less regulation allowing CFDs as an economic freedom isn't as economically beneficial).
