Global Warming is a straw man put up by the carbon fuel cartel to distract the public and the legislature from our virtual enslavement by said cartel. Any chance that the public will wake the fuck up? Nah. Not even the cooler and smarter heads of/. can rise above the temptation to argue this nonsense. If you doubt that, read the rest of this thread! Sheesh.
What fucking difference does it make what the fucking slaves do? As if there is somehow a difference in the outcome of this process depending upon the details. Obama or Palin? Either way we're fucked. Hello?
How about a constitutional amendment outlawing all paid political advertisement? If the various media want to give air time to politicians, they can do so, but must donate it for free, and equally to all contenders.
You fucking a right! Chicken shit scared and stupid about sums it up. The land of the sheep and the home of the knaves. How "we" ever put a stop to Vietnam is so beyond me - I think back to the riots in Berkeley and elsewhere, and it's like I am dreaming about some parallel dimension. Not this one! No fucking way.
More lies to justify the ongoing rape of the populace. Read C. H. Douglas if you want to know how a fiat currency monetary system is *really* supposed to work.
I like the idea because I would prefer not to murder sentient beings to stuff my maw. Not so much that I can stand to go without fleshy satisfaction, but, if there was a real alternative, I'd be all over it.
>> Those 3 minutes are a rounding error of your day.
Oh horseshit! Last night I drove from Lancaster, CA to Reno, NV. According to Google Maps, the drive takes 7 hours 48 minutes. I made it in just under 6. Sure, if I get pulled over for driving 120 MPH as I was in some sections, I would be really screwed, but Hiway 395 at 2 in the morning is nearly deserted, so no problems.
Although I was driving faster than the various speed limits the entire way, I could easily cut another hour or more off it if I could simply drive at a speed appropriate for conditions, since in a lot of sections, I limit myself to an "enforcement-safe" 8 mph over. (Read: "ridiculously slow") Other sections, with a "front door", I cruise at 90. When there are literally no other cars in sight, I kick it up to what ever feels right.
Being an inveterate speed limit scofflaw, I have found that most highways in the US feel just right cruising at 90, and 120 is about right for the fast sections. My car is an efficient 5-cylinder turbo with a 6 speed manual, so driving at that pace ups my gas consumption less than 10%. Also, driving at the right speed keeps one fully engaged - at the posted limit, I have to fight and fight to stay awake.
Are you familiar at all with the work of C. H. Douglas? He was on this almost 100 years ago. He exposed the "conspiracy" behind the ongoing economic paradigm - there are powerful entities that will strongly resist your ideas because your ideas, fully implemented, will destroy their mechanisms of power. Google Social Credit. Read Heinlein's For Us The Living A Comedy Of Custom. Understand how fractional reserve banking really works - that is the keystone in their system. The good news is that we don't need to destroy them, but we do need to neuter them by pulling the plug on this aspect of banking.
Clifford Hugh Douglas figured all this out nearly 100 years ago, and put it into a completely practical system called Social Credit. Not only would Social Credit end poverty and economic oppression, but unlike Socialism it would actually do a better job than Capitalism as a platform underlying private enterprise! Check it out - read Heinlein's For Us The Living, A Comedy Of Custom, and then have a look at all the online resources. The man was the Einstein of Economics, but because Economics is a corrupt science, his work has never been recognized. All the wars after WWI are one result of this heinous suppression of the truth.
>> Students once got along perfectly well quietly taking notes on paper
Horseshit! *Some* students got along perfectly well. Others underperformed simply because they lack the particular form of hand coordination to allow them to take useful notes using a pencil. Any student playing a game or reading email during class should be referred to the dean for discipline. But leave alone the students who are typing legit class notes, you inconsiderate prick!
The first 100 airplanes didn't fly either. So we should just give up on rehabilitation because it "doesn't work?" The truth is that places like Delancey Street have proven that rehabilitation does work, when it is done correctly.
Well said, my friend! Now please read my sig, go to the link, and study the work of the great C. H. Douglas. He analyzed this a hundred years ago, and designed a valid and eminently workable solution. Heinlein was well aware of Douglas as well, thus For Us The Living, A Comedy of Custom.
The US prison system, in general, is far more corrupt than you seem to think. Sure, there are dribs and drabs of rehab motions made, but, again, in general, almost nothing. For the record, no, there is no qualifier on removing one's second amendment rights for life. All felons are penalized in this manner, including innocent drug dealers who never touched a gun in their dealings. No, you are correct, there is not a big sign on the entrance, "Criminal U.", but there might as well be!
Um, well actually the biggest wealth accumulations in the last 20 years or so have actually been from what is in fact a zero-sum game. I call this game "market gamesmanship". That's when a company like Goldman Sachs uses it's power and influence to destroy its competitors, buy an innovative business and gut its assets, etc., etc. The thing people like you need to start to understand is that Capitalism, while better than some others, does not provide the best support for entrepreneurial innovation, as it rewards market gamesmanship more. Entrepreneurial innovation is what creates wealth for all, not just its practitioner. Read your Heinlein. Read your Douglas. Read my sig. The truth is out there.

And I want guns *and* socialized medicine, (you know, to fix all the wounded), so where does that leave us?

So we should victimize those of us who have the priceless quality of empathy, and reward the psychopaths. Good plan!
