How is Savage a bigot? He's not intolerant of a whole class of people who happen to be different from him. He's intolerant of individuals who are bigots.
There's a big difference between being ab inito intolerant of something someone else is doing that doesn't harm anyone, and being intolerant of that sort of intolerance. Or do you submit that we should tolerate the Klan working to keep minorities as second-class citizens?
I hope you were being funny, but I've argued with at least one Internet fuckwit who really believed that.
I'd expect to see this "problem" go away as a result of Google changing the algorithm just as they did to make "miserable failure" no longer have Bush the Lesser's official White House bio as its top result.
One wonders if the submitter meant Nynorsk (an invented Norwegian language that was IIRC supposed to be free of Swedish influence, created after Norway gained independence) as opposed to the more widely-spoken Bokmal.
There's a number of Internet Libertarians on here who hysterically equate AGW being real with OMG GOVERNMENT WILL TELL US WHAT TO DO and then go into full-on deny mode so that horrible possibility could never happen.
You know, if someone calls you a denier, you should try to understand why - are you simply open-minded, or are you parroting the same old discredited arguments over and over?
If it's genuinely the former and the caller is an asshole, OK, but give some thought to whether the latter case is true.
The problem with the AMT is that (as with many things, like minimum wage) it was never indexed against inflation, so every year Congress kicks the can down the road instead of properly fixing it.
If they'd write these things to automatically take inflation into account it wouldn't be such a problem.
I stuck a peanut butter sandwich in our VCR once. My mother was/pissed/.
As to the robustness of the tapes: that depended. Some mfrs used decent quality plastic for the housings, while some others used the thinnest possible junk that would break with the slightest pressure, and it was also possible for the tape to catch on something and then the VCR would eat the tape.

PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!
Sorry, chum, that kind of smoke screen isn't going to fly outside of FreeRepublic.
Also, lol Bush tax cuts that exacerbate the problem.
I think the usual idiot's argument to this is "why shouldn't we be able to pursue our agenda, it's a free country, we're a majority, blah blah blah".
I think you mean "vicious". Santorum shouldn't be viscous, and if it is you probably need to change your diet.
Huh. You might have a point there - the Zealots were seen in their day as the Taliban are today.

That'd be really good ammunition against him; one supposes it hasn't been used yet because it's pretty high-caliber and
a) Romney's not that desperate yet, and
b) I'd hope Obama would keep that in reserve himself.
Apres moi le deluge.
That's a phrase I'd associate with the previous officeholder more than Romney.

Why should the intolerance of Santorum and others be tolerated?

The whole thing, or the Gospels?

Who's calling names? I'm answering your question.
Now be a dear and change your tampon.
Or maybe you're cherry-picking quotes to support the denialist agenda.
That's never happened before.

It stops being skepticism and gets into denialism when the denier starts quoting the same old discredited arguments over and over again.
Not retarded, politically motivated.
The two are often hard to distinguish, I'll grant.
Nobody's holding a gun to your head to make you use this service, idiot.
You're one of those people who never grew out of high school drama, aren't you?
Not C-5s and C-17s. C-130s, yes.

I know I've seen yearly blurbs for IOCCC here on Slashdot. Why haven't they published source for winners from after 2006?
