You know why Africans can't get visas? Because when their visa expires, they don't go home. Countries keep track of things like this. Then, they modify their visa laws to match. You know why it's easy for Americans go to anywhere? Because they spend money locally and then leave. A perfect fit, what every country wants. Even America.
Right, which is why we should prevent babies from going out to gun ranges and sucking on spent bullets. Oh, and baby is going to have to have teeth, because otherwise the metal jacket will isolate the lead.
Here is an excellent example of "it doesn't matter how ludicrous the argument is as long as it agrees with my beliefs it's OK." Seriously, did you really just use "won't someone think OF THE CHILDREN!!#@!#@!#" as an argument?
Here we see the zeitgeist of 2013 in all its ugliness. All one needs to say is "NRA" and it is immediately assumed that they are on the wrong side of the argument, whatever it might be this time. "Against scientists and environmental organizations" as if they were one and the same! But let's remember, all good people think the same, and all good people agree that science always backs up environmentalism. To think otherwise is crimethink.
Let's not even pay attention to the non-sequitur argument of "the rise and fall of lead levels from gasoline and lead-based paint". What the hell?!? That got nuttin' to do wit nuttin'. BUT - and here's the important part - it's against the NRA so therefore it's a valid argument. Start noticing these and you'll see them everywhere. After all, when you're arguing against Satan why does it matter if your arguments are illogical? You're arguing against blackest evil and so who cares? After all, it's not like one day the powers will be decide that you will occupy the hate-place and use the same flawed arguments against you. It could never happen, and in fact never happened in the 20th century.
And seriously...linking to Mother Jones? Puh-leez. It's an extremist website with an agenda, do you seriously think geeks with brains read that crap? This is the same magazine that wept at the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991. The last, best hope for mankind. No really, go to a university library and read the back issues.

Only if you have your head up your ass and all you can think about all day is people that you hate. It's not natural for humans to react in this way unless there's something wrong in the head. Cranio-rectal inversion, it's called.
What does that even mean, and how did this totally unrelated topic somehow come up? Are we just spewing stream-of-consciousness bullshit in public now?
What does "could learn from China's Shanzhai" mean? Shanzhai electronics is crap. No, really, it is. Does it mean "use cheap garbage components that will fail 0-6 months after sale, and close up the company so we don't have to provide refunds"? Not that China's consumer protection laws mean a damn, anyway.
The whole article stinks of "d00d this is totally kewl, we should totally make, you know, a laptop. Then add shanzhai, then add bookbinding, then add "guerrilla hardware". WTF does guerrilla hardware even mean? This has more nonsense buzzwords than the latest corporate marketing press release.
It's not discrimination when it happens to Americans. Seriously, did you just cast people of color in the segregationist role? You have a big problem with the narrative.
Better yet - the synthetic meat costs a fortune compared to the ordinary kind, and yet environmentalists insist on laws banning farms and butchers.
Hey, it's a net benefit to society, right? Meat is expensive, and people make wrong decisions when they don't have all the facts. It's better if informed, rational, educated people make these choices and the rest of us can benefit from their decisions.
Did you totally lack any sort of comprehension that you are criticizing a homosexual? WTF? Where did you go to school that taught that homosexuals are OK to disagree with due to their sexual orientation?
Oh, and good job linking to Salon.com regarding a dissident. I might as well go to stormfront.com to get relevant opinions regarding Marxists. It's the same thing.
Why didn't they? Their lack of racial awareness only resulted in the Iraqi genocide. And the Somali genocide. And the Syrian genocide....should I go on? Would this have happened if every American adult had been educated from age six about what their forefathers did? And how they are directly responsible due to their race, despite the fact that they didn't actually pull any triggers? HOW MANY PEOPLE WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY, ASSHOLE?
Have you ever considered that they're right? That the customers will report bugs so that QA doesn't have to? That the company that takes an extra six months to produce a quality product will be left in the dust by a company that cranks out garbage? Heck, all you have to do these days is include an update agent in your software along with a crash notifier. After a week or two after release you'll know where the problems are in your software. How long does QA take to tell you the same? And customers expect software to be updated frequently. Just ask any consumer about software that hasn't been updated for a year...they'll give it negative reviews for this reason alone. Ever browsed the Android marketplace?
"Oregon Trail" and other media like it made genocide an acceptable thing in the minds of many young impressionable people. In any sane society, "Oregon Trail" would be remembered as a sick justification for genocide. How are we, as a society, remedying this fucked-up 80s software product with something that not only appeals to children but explains what horrible people we all are?
Way to attribute negative characteristics to those EVIL PEOPLE who disagree with your political opinions. Do you know what "psychological projection" means?
You'll notice that THOSE EVIL PEOPLE don't oppose sex at all. They think that sex belongs in marriage, where it can - SURPRISE - result in children. Don't believe me? Just ask your friendly neighborhood Latina or Muslim lady with seven children, all of whom will grow up to vote. And they will outnumber your one precious snowflake child and beat the shit out of her on the playground.
Hello idiot? If we went by what people vote for, the Tea Party would be in power today. So STFU with your stupidity, let's let the smart people with correct principles get into the political offices that matter.
Yeah? So please explain a situation in which anyone would want to search for "pressure cooker bombs". It just doesn't come up.
I notice that the article doesn't say anything about her political affiliation. Right-wingers are poised for violence and pressure cooker bombs are right up their alley. Remember when the bombs went off in Boston and many right-thinking people were hoping that the perps were right-wingers instead of Muslims? It's just a matter of time.
Yes, but denying new nuclear plants is a good thing. It is applauded by all good people. It's not a violation of anyone's rights. If we arrive at the right destination by a crooked path, it's still the right destination. I suggest you shut up and don't complain in the future, this just makes it more difficult for the correct outcome to occur.
Are you sure that it actually doesn't work? Because we have decades of real-world experience that says it does.
Are you a leftist? Do you have something to gain if you can finally prove, in public, that free markets really and truly don't work? Do you daily look down on other people for being "too stupid" to make "correct" choices? Sarah Palin vs. Anthony Weiner, who is the right choice to vote for? One is a sexist prick and the other is a powerful (and therefore dangerous) woman.
"God isn't interested in technology. He knows nothing of the potential of the microchip or the silicon revolution. Look how he spends his time! Forty three species of parrot! Nipples for men! Slugs! He created slugs! They can't hear! They can't speak! They can't operate machinery! I mean, are we not in the hands of a lunatic? If I were creating a world, I wouldn't mess about with butterflies and daffodils. I would have started with lasers, eight o'clock, Day One!"
You know, it never matters what the product is. Computers, airlines, hotels, cars...whatever. There's always someone who had a bad experience and extrapolates his bad experience onto the entire world. Guess what...people use Dell computers every day and they don't catch fire. They fly United, stay at Super 8, and drive cars made in Detroit. And the world continues. Funny, that?
Sounds like somebody has a problem with strong female role models. Are you still butthurt about Tim "Tool-time" Taylor telling millions of men what they should be?
Those people all had the same ideals as you. Why did they murder millions of people in pursuit of your goals? Doesn't that make the goals not worthwhile? This thought process certainly applies to right-wing goals and tyrants, so I'm wondering why the left gets a free pass on this one. Weird!

It's not an ad hominem attack against Mother Jones. There are some really scary extremists that have honored positions there.
Partisan blinders...such as never accepting science whenever it disagrees. It's a hard fact that when science reaches conclusions that disagree with left-wing politics, science loses. As soon as we can have a national conversation, loudly, in public about inconvenient scientific findings like these, we'll talk about the partisan blinders being off. Then we can talk about minor problems like the NRA in the same fashion.
Right, which is why we should prevent babies from going out to gun ranges and sucking on spent bullets. Oh, and baby is going to have to have teeth, because otherwise the metal jacket will isolate the lead.
