    Borrow money to create more clean water. The water is not being used up. The earth's water is constant. The only real scarcity in California is of the knowledge needed to recycle water.

    Needless death by dehydration is against the General Welfare. Government is mandated to provide for the general Welfare. Government should create money (because government has the constitutional mandate to coin money and regulate the value thereof) to fund water transfers or environmentally-friendly desalination plants in California.

    It's not a false claim, it's a joke. Laugh. Relax. No one is going to take a joke twitter account seriously when hiring a teacher. If they do, then you don't want to work there anyway.

    So we should prosecute jokes as lies now? And there's a new rule: if you include "actually" in your joke, then it can't be a joke?

    Fuck the politically correct grammar nazi police. Fuck em if they can't take a joke. Joke 'em if they can't take a fuck. Fuck that teacher, he's way too thin-skinned and is probably guilty as fuck that's why he's overreacting so strongly.

    Yes, passive-aggressiveness is a much better way of dealing with anger.

    Thus your experience contradicts the research presented. A volatile situation has not resulted from sending angry emails.

    It's funny how many articles come up that say most research is flawed and unrepeatable, and slashdotters jump all over themselves agreeing; but when a research study supports your personal biased opinion, you're the first to cite it as the ultimate proof that you are right!

  13. Re:To Paraphrase Orwell on Sending Angry Emails Just Makes You Angrier · · Score: 1

    The object of trolling with an angry post is to provoke an inappropriate response. The object of posting angrily on the internet is, most often, humor.

    It should be an individual choice. Lots of times it's fun and therapeutic for me to come up with creative insults. I'm laughing after I post it, not angry. I can see how some PC researcher who doesn't know me might think I'm getting angrier and angrier though. But that just says more about them than about me.

    Indeed. The whole thrust of this story is that you shouldn't tit-for-tat. Fuck that. Online anger is a good thing. I think the researchers are humorless fucks who can't take a joke, and are way too thin-skinned. Oh noes, words on the internet hurt me!

    She thinks she knows more than she does about how animals communicate. She thinks animals think in pictures because she does. She's ignorant. Birds for example have clear panic cries and calls for themselves, their own names. Cows communicate with their ears, and it's not about pictures.

    T-bills are like the pea in a shell game, where the shells are money created out of the thin, hot air of bankers' IOUs to each other. In other words T-bills are the gold of the modern world monetary system.

    Your type has been saying the same thing for decades, centuries: inflation will explode! The Swiss franc will become the world's reserve currency! Except the dollar's stronger now, even after the Fed created trillions upon trillions out of thin air. And the Swiss are charging negative interest rates precisely because they don't want to be the reserve currency. When you become the world's reserve currency you lose control over the money supply. The Fed for example can't control the supply of Eurodollars.

    The world's capital supplies are getting very close to a quadrillion US dollars. The Fed can create enough money to pay off the US debt, and it will be such a minute fraction of the total money supply that it won't cause a blip on inflation.

    In conclusion, you don't know jack about what you're talking about, and your ilk have been predicting imminent doom and gloom for the US dollar because of the national debt since the very first US administration. It's like Chicken Little screaming about the sky falling. No one's paying attention anymore.
