Libertarians oppose any age of consent laws. Let's consider why a man who lives in Thailand might support Libertarian politics… Age of consent in Thailand is 18yo (all sexes, all orientations). This is higher than ALL Australian polities, and higher than or equal to ALL US polities.

Dutch law on wholesale drug production and sale loosened a bit since I lived there. But when I lived there it was illegal to buy or sell the quantities of drugs needed to run a coffee shop. I guess I must have imagined the coffee shops full of dozens of people smoking dope, as it was illegal for the coffee shops to buy such quantities of dope it mustn't have happened.
IMO implying that all anarchocapitalists are ephebophiles is unreasonable and an argument ad hominem.
I've had many discussions with Libertarians. There are some hipsters who don't like the modern definition of words and want to use the word Libertarian the same way it was used when their penny-farthing was in fashion. I think they should be ignored. Of all the people who identify as Libertarians in the modern meaning of the word (as defined by Murray Rothbard) I've encountered several who argue that there could theoretically be Libertarians who don't believe in the right to starve children to death or to have no limits on child sex. But so far I haven't encountered anyone who will say "I'm a Libertarian under the modern right-wing meaning of the word and I think that child sex and child starvation should be prohibited". -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
