    Thailand's navy raided a floating home belonging to an American and his Thai partner who sought to be "seasteading" pioneers. The movement promotes living in international waters free of any nation's laws. http://apne.ws/UP3R31e

        Looks like they forgot that even the smallest of settlements need a little army... and weapons for defense. 🙂🙂

        Thailand seems a little aggressive in this action, death? I feel this is extreme if all they were doing is minding there on business, but hey, it’s their rules, their country. Wow what would they do to those crossing our borders illegally?

        But it's not their rules, though, at least according to the article. If the couple were in international waters, Thai law doesn't apply. They might be odd, but they don't appear to have broken any law, certainly not any that would call for a death sentence.

        If that was build in international waters, Thailand have NO JURISDICTION there, I think...

        Isn't it a homestead regardless of location? I live on the ground, still call it a homestead, not a landstead. #madeupwordstosoundimportant
