    "easier on animals"

    Rednecks may be a little rough around the edges but that's going a bit too far, don't you think?

    No. That is the reason we're told they exist. And you're either one of the vast majority of sub-geniuses who swallowed their bullshit or else you're one of them. You tell me. :)

    A black guy wandering around a trailer park will attract just as much trouble from the people that live there.

    If a visit to the Muskogee, Oklahoma Walmart is any indication, the fat white chicks will be itching to bear his children. :p

  15. Re:Can't fund NASA on Chris Kraft Talks About The Decline of NASA · · Score: 1

    So what is this mysterious group that is controlling the world? The illuminati? The freemasons? Aliens? Please enlighten us.

    It's really a lot more simple than that and should be obvious. Not to be deliberately cryptic but I'm not interested in convincing anyone of anything; helping people, however, figure shit out for themselves is somewhat rewarding. So, that having been said, think about history, think about power and resources and who's held them over the centuries (that much we know - or should know - from our history books) - and think about who stood to lose what as the common people have empowered themselves. It's really not that hard...

  21. Re:Can't fund NASA on Chris Kraft Talks About The Decline of NASA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There are brown people on the other side of the world!

    Brown people, pfft. that's nothing. We've got dangerous middle and lower classes right here at home. Things were fine for a while but they began to be a serious problem in the 16th century and by the 1700's, they'd become a big enough threat that we actually lost France and the most important of the Colonies. Fortunately, they've completely fallen for the "parliamentary system" that we (at least "officially") have replaced ourselves with; most of them tend to be too dumb to realize that their "elected representatives" are our frontmen.

    Nonetheless, this wasn't a scourge we could stamp out overnight; long-term planning was in order. We've finally stripped them of their wealth and weapons (plans that required over a hundreds years) and we periodically send vast numbers of them against each other to cull the most dangerous ones (and generally just keep them off-balance).

    True, we actually had our own data network used against us (we didn't see that coming); they used it to share with each other what they know about us and that was a bit more than we'd realized. We had to institute some rather unprecendented damage control (including admitting the existence of some of our organizations while redirecting attention elsewhere) but we now fully control the network and don't anticipate any additional problems; in fact, we now know everything about each and everyone one of them.

    It's the kind of thing you do as a dorky 15 year old (or college freshman if you're remedial)...
