  1. Re:Glory hound on Super Principia Mathematica · · Score: 1

    "I left Hughes Aircraft Company to work for Moller International..." Illustrates poor grasp of reality, and little innate understanding of practical engineering/ physics.

    Or a strong interest in yoghürt.

    Perhaps it was too long to fit in the headline? Still retarded though, since there's already a perfectly cromulent (and shorter) word: healthy.

    Great job they did when Yugoslavia fell apart.

    Rubbish. Egbert to Ethelred is seven generations of the same family. The Angevins had six. Later on there's the Hanoverians - four consecutive Georges and a William who are all linked by being sons/brothers of preceding monarchs. Name one US president who a) took over from his father and b) took over because of who his father was.

    Except this wouldn't be anything close to slavery unless we're modifying the use of the word.

    I'd say it was more a case of finding a different word/phrase to describe the same thing.

    Does the constitution say that a state can't simply ignore the constitution (or part of it) if it so wishes? And even if it does, how would you enforce that?

    "Do what I say, or else!" doesn't work with teenagers; it won't work with a great number of adults, either.

    And yet "Do what an invisible Jewish zombie says, or else!" goes down a treat.

    Feudal aristocracies were in theory heritable, but in practice were no more so than America's existing political dynasties.

    Yeah, just like those who didn't like to wear that six pointed star.

    Obviously, denying people there unalienable rights is a job for the federal government.

    I would have hoped it was the opposite, irrespective of where 'there' is.

    The more you localise the gubminnt, the less of a nation it'll be, and the more it'll turn into something like the EU.

    You used the word 'enforcing'. How can you do that without some central power?

    It turns out that a malamanteau is a portmanteau of portmanteau and malapropism, but also a malapropism of portmanteau.

    Wrong. A malapropism is where you use a real word in the wrong situation, not one where you make a new word up. That already has a name - it's called being stupid.
