He could argue, and argue and argue, that there really is a *privileged* frame of reference with regards of age; but, I'm not letting my daughter ("the object to be dated") out of sight of my shotgun.
If anything can be a "god" of sorts now, how do I know that you're actually an atheist?
I love responding to my overly-religious relatives when they start spouting fucking nonsense with "Even the devil can quote scripture, right? How do I know you're not the devil right now?"
No, it doesn't shut them up, because they're FUCKING IRRATIONAL. But, it does provide some levity for the rest of the family.:)
I was going to Insightful you, but I'm out of points. You're exactly right with "Tax the wealthy." Back in the 50s after WW2, we experienced significant economic growth. The highest tax rate was 90%. The rich paid it gladly, because they realized that it meant better schools and reduced crime, meaning they wouldn't need to spend as much on security, and would have better employees. These days, it seems, we have that backwards.
As others have often said, on Slashdot and elsewhere, the fool and his money are soon parted.
I liked Gordon Gekko's quote (from the first Wall Street; haven't seen the second): "A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place."
To save everyone else the acronym lookup, ITG appears to be "Internet Tough Guy". I had never seen it before -- I spent some time finding it, so wanted to save the rest of you old folks the time.:) Saw it here -- it's the only one that really fits ("It Takes Guts" almost could, but not really within that sentence).
I love compression in communication, so thank you, sir. One of my favorites is "short term... [snapping fingers]"; and, I understand that this has a limited audience, of those people who are actively curing their tumors. Similarly, a mechanic who I went to once gets the following recommendation: "I wouldn't go back." That's all I need to say.
What happened to "2)"? And the "N" in your second reference to UNCLOS? And the reference to Office Space in your "third" point's third through eighth words? And my sobriety?
and parody requires that the content created under fair use be used for or as commentary on the original author's work. I can't see any evidence that lamebook has done that, and it'd be too late to start now.
Well, honestly I can't see any evidence that Space Ball commented on Star Wars. I mean, they riffed off it, but they didn't so much comment on it as make Jewish jokes about it.
You know, you got me thinking, in a parallel sort of way, asking about the different chemistries.
We are starstuff. The stars we have been through have burned long enough to give us the current abundance of atom types that we currently have.
So then that got me thinking about the products of stellar explosions billions of years from now. Perhaps they'll be made of even more exotic elements, further down the periodic table than we've even discovered yet.
This then leads to so many possibilities it's difficult to continue this thought in a concise post.
The centurions were outdated designs and didn't seem too capable (possibly to prevent another rebellion).
Am I the only one who felt anew the pain of circumcision when they were talking about removing the centurions' higher functions? (I suppose more like a lobotomy, but still it's removing something you were "designed" with.)
BSG was not canceled. It ran its full run. Caprica, on the other hand, was canceled; I rather enjoyed it, especially "New Cap City" and the tie-ins to GTA.

Yeah, thanks for that, I guess, you really contributed now didn't you?
Um, you mean, we broke too many windows out there and they're now trying to break ours, right?

Amusing that you ended with a biblical war-like reference, and your signature exhorts people to "teach peace".
To me, defense spending breakthroughs seem to be similar to the broken window fallacy.
Use Lisp.

Yep, it's downhill all the way.
My mouth you insensitive somethingorother.
I love you.

You think paranoid people are undercover vice squad agents?
Sorry, I gave up my millions a decade ago. You're a little late, but there's a T-shirt as a consolation prize?
Chuck Jones was wacky!

I knew there was something strange about USA's drug laws...
Wasn't going for funny. More like, regime change.
