I despise the term "founding Fathers" so patriarchal, so overly reverent. It's reminiscent of fascist hero worship. Mob rule is another term for the sam fallacy. Basically you're too stupid to make your own decision, you should only choose which one of us will make them for you. An easy argument to sell and maintain when you look at the standard of American political debate.
Well, "give away" is a very interesting description, maybe you should look into the PATH malaria initiative and their policies on Private Sector collaboration, what will this Malaria vaccine be worth if it is discovered and who will profit from it?
Yeah, I hear Sensitivity training is like a concentration camp, wait, was that insensitive? Since it's often hard to tell what people mean on the internet, I'll briefly add - you're an idiot.
You know who doesn't like the "tyranny of the majority"? The minority who are in power. The basic premise seems to be "you shouldn't make decisions because you might do something bad to someone else".
I'm going to go and steal the Eiffel tower by taking a shitty 640 x 480 picture of it. Want to buy it from me? It's the Eiffel Tower so it's probably worth a good few million at least.
"Carbon sequestration". Yeah, the problem we have is all this carbon we are digging up and burning is causing trouble so we need to find a way of sequestering it after we burn it. Do you see the stupid part in this plan?
I do hope you show your commitment to your values by refusing your next wage rise so you don't run the economy into the gutter, or does that only happen when other people get wage rises?
Wouldn't it benefit the Detroit manufacturers if they could sell directly to customers rather than giving away a vast cut to incompetent middle men all over the country?
How much additional safety do you think that safety would buy you on the road, given the number of motorists and the leading causes of car accidents (driver error)? You're not going to stop people crashing their cars until we have autonomous cars. However, if you see a disease arising that poses a serious threat to millions and you have the chance, you should consider doing something about it.
I don't want to sound facetious but really, the SBLive is a nearly twenty year old card now. Fair enough it should work but getting a bee in your bonnet about it is a bit mad. If the card is giving you so much trouble do what any sane person did 10 years ago and throw it away and buy something better.
No-one else will ever be able to hold the respect Linus has, so the community wouldn't put up with that behaviour. Building something yourself and spending twenty years in charge of it gives you a fair amount of leeway.

The basic principle stands though and bizarrely seems to shock quite a few people - if you want to be good at something, do it for quite a long time.

You're not very good at it, it's just very easy there for the minute.
So anyone who gets tax credits should be denied free speech?
Yeah, there's no evidence that people in different areas share any common heritage, except all the DNA and stuff, but that's Satan's work.
Yeah, in the brave new future we won't need things made in factories, we'll eat apps for breakfast.

They'd have to be padding an awful lot if they were actually worse than American ones.
What a lot of nonsense, if anything weapons empower the sociopaths.
What makes you think he wouldn't have just run if he heard you shouting?
Yeah, you probably just own a gun because you're such a badass and need something to scare the local kids away from your porch.

Come on, the Star Wars prequels were bad but that's going a bit too far even for me.
So does his Dad.

Isn't there a difference between a fool and an asshole? Or are they both just synonyms for "someone I don't like".
