1. Both parties in Congress have become largely unresponsive, over the past decade at least, to the will of the people.
The people, by an large, don't understand what's wrong, much less how to fix it. Out of the thousands participating in OWS and it's offspring, i bet not a one knows how money is created (out of debt), why it's such a problem (runaway inflation, consolidation of wealth) or how to fix it (Monetary Reform Act).
It's more than most people can fathom, let alone care about.:(
They should care because those that want us to mislabel copyright infringement as "piracy" are trying to make something relatively innocuous sound sinister (and it makes light what is happening off the Horn of Africa.
Language is the operating system of thought. Corruption of words is corruption of thought. It's propaganda.

Most of your post is insane BS, but the line about "ignore unkind words" is especially stupid and dangerous. The brain records emotional abuse and physical abuse the same way in the same part of the brain. To the victim physical and emotional abuse are the same.
The Columbine kids weren't assaulted, they were verbally abused. There's been a rash of suicides from non-physical bullying. Hell, MOST suicides are the results of words spoken... not violent beatings.
All rights are granted by the state, by the way. Rights are extended by society and can be therefore revoked by society: see capital punishment, the entire criminal justice system. You can drive your car, but if you drive in a way that poses at threat to others you can lose that privilege. That's social contract.
Wait. Are you trolling us? i'm having a Poe's Law moment. It seems unlikely that someone who could operate a computer should be able to spout such nonsense.
This is bizarre to me. The start menu is how i launch EVERYTHING. My desktop is a dumping ground for downloads i'm reminding myself to do something about later.
What are people using to launch if not the menu? i have too many things installed to put everything on the desktop. Plus, having more icons on the desktop would cover the wallpaper of Moxxi from Borderlands.
So that should mean there would be an equal amount of mass on any side of us (unless the Big Bang was asymmetric). And that there is no edge to the universe (for things to be going into).
i can get that from any star that all the others are moving away, but it seems like if we look at *many* stars there should be stars that are moving more away than others.
This is something i don't quite get. i'll give Flatland a read later.
Even if everything is moving away from everything else, there should be some line you could draw that says everything on this side of the line is moving away from everything on that side. Do that for all three dimensions and the lines intersect at the center. Dump a bucket of marbles on the floor in a 2D Big Bang. They would be ALL moving away from SOME single thing. Even if we glue the marbles to a rubber sheet and pull it in all directions the marble at the center would still be in the center. Seems that either the singularity was infinitely large or there would be some epicenter for the explosion.
When the balloon surface is flat you can mark the center, looking from the top down, as it inflates all the other points would be moving away from that even as the outer points move away from each other.
It looks like a clever acronym of English words that makes a Spanish word, giving it a pleasant double meaning. A backronym is when you name something, and come up with something for it to stand for later. AMBER Alert contains a backronym. The original name was after Amber Hagerman, so it was Amber Alert. They made a backronym to make it extra kewl.
Slopes are not inherently slippery. But i can't take anyone who says "American imperialism" seriously anyway. You shat away any credibility with such a childish comment.
Declared War, in the case of the US is redundant. No declaration = no war. We don't have "common law war". Either we are, or we are not. In this case... we are not.
Check RP's latest appearance on Jon Stewart. JS politely and politely points out that Ron is wrong about pretty much everything. Ron is a blind squirrel that has stumbled upon two nuts: the "war on drugs" and monetary reform. Even then his approach would wrong. That's why i like to call him Wrong Paul.

i'd refine that to say bad debt is bad. Getting a loan to start a business that puts more money IN your pocket than it takes OUT is a good debt.

i hope OWS might be the beginning to change that.

Piracy is ship to ship armed robbery, murder and kidnapping.
Don't help their cause, you morons!
You should attend a high school or college US History class, or a world history class. It's full of why you are wrong.
What freedoms have i lost since 9/11, specifically?
AFACT, i've lost only the right to board a plane without taking off my shoes.

Yell "Fire" in a packed movie theater.
There's no such thing as a absolute freedom. Otherwise i could kill people and claim protection under free speech and the right to bear arms.

i'll read it. i saved the link. Thanks.

Blerg. Head hurty.
i'll read the thing.

"Backronym?" doesn't ask anything.

Why are you asking us if it is 42?
50 millipounds seems like a tiny budget. 50M pounds seems more appropriate.
i'm glad this happened in that it will upset iQueefs, but sad that it won't hurt Apple. :|

"Just to be clear, I have no objection to taking this asshole out once and for all?"
Why are you asking us if you have an objection? Make up your mind and tell us. How should we know if you object?

Does Grover's algorithm determine is something is NEAR or FAR?

Stuff we found 50 years ago would be old findings.
i'm more disturbed by find/find. That's just lazy writing.
