I would say that we have been brainwashed by carefully packaged media mongrels(sic) into beleiving that they only news is what they say is news, and what the common person has to say is meaningless unless filtered through their proprietary channels.
*You*
have allowed yourself to be brainwashed by whatever inane crap you allow to flow freely through your skull.
I'm not so weak and stupid as to believe the idiotic bullshit that you feel to be a positive description of yourself.
What the "common" person has to say is what the media has to say by fucking definition, dipshit.
Twitter (and Facebook) is so popular *because* it's absolutely tied to the MSM. Think about it, Sparky. "Twitter" was put forward as the savior of the Iranian "revolution".
A: Nothing would have left the country without open proxies. B: Twitter+Facebook is at most two lunch meetings at worst one. c: Arrogance does not simply mean "Smarter than you". Sorry, but it is a fact.
The issue is that that a huge segment of Christianity formally went in a different direction.
That's true, but there's really nothing good that can be said about that direction either. Protestants are just as vile, depraved and deluded murdering monsters as the Catholics. I mean we have Martin Luther to thank for architecting the holocaust, you know. That love of atrocity id buried at the core of Christianity by definition and always will be.
Agreed. Just like when you hear someone say "we have never had a real free market".
That's a pretty different thing. A "real free market" can not ever exist. It's merely a hypothetical abstraction or ideal to be approached, but it's not even remotely possible in this universe. It serves the same purpose in Economics as a frictionless plane does in introductory Physics. It's not the case that a bunch of interests conspire to prevent free markets so that they can benefit, it's that they are fictions that aren't real and can not ever be made real. You have a whole large group of people with a religious belief in free markets, but without the wit to even comprehend what they are.
Also, people making such a statement are most often (in my experience) misusing that term to mean a "completely unregulated market" which is anethema to both anything approximating a free market and anything approximating a free society. Regulation is essential to anything approximating a free market, but bad legislation can screw that up to.
Now, if only we could pick the good parts out from the bad and learn from out mistakes. But that is probably too much to ask.
Probably. That, though, is where the free market idea and the political system ideas come together. Just like you have a certain segment of the US population trained to screech "socialism" at anything their masters don't want, basically the same people screech "socialism" at any legislation which could free up our markets a bit from the fascist control they're currently under. So, yes, it seems to be too much to ask and that pretty much spells the end of the US as any sort of a leader.
Good, or even bad intentions don't matter. Results matter. The real world matters. Almost everyone in Israel thinks they will be fighting a war next year, and they think the consequences of losing that war will be another holocaust. I think they're right, and, quite frankly, it is in large part thanks to material support from lefties in America and Europe to people who've publicly sworn to no end to eradicate them.
Typical fascist dipshit. Our support for the scumbag Israelis in their atrocities is a big part of the cause of the problems in the middle east. Fuck Israel.
But rather than honestly address that major issue, you pretend that repeating the same tired old lies about the Left in order to promote your vile fascist bullshit. Hot tip, you Nazi fuck: World War 2 was Liberalism and the Left against the Right.
Do you know what Nazism is summed up in one sentence? Rabid opposition to the Left. Do you know what that proves? That you are, in fact, a fucking Nazi. This isn't Godwin's law or anything stupid like that. It's a question of knowing what words mean.
Your repeated reactionary rabid opposition to the Left without ever letting a thought or fact cross your mind *defines* you as a Nazi. You stupid scumbag piece of shit Nazi. At least Liberalism and the Left have positive features. There is nothing at positive which could be said about the Right. Go ahead and try, Nazi. Try and paint Nazism, Fascism, and Feudalism in a positive light. That's all you have to work with when defending the Right, so pull your head out of your ass, grow up and quit spouting your rabidly anti-American fascist propaganda. Seriously, Move to Iran if you're so in love with that sort of bullshit instead of trying to bring it here you fucking Nazi piece of shit.
So, if you want the right to express your bat-shit crazy superstitious bronze-age mythology,
It's Iron Age mythology. Common mistake, since the Bible directly lies about this fact, but the Hebrews and therefore necessarily their god didn't even exist until the Iron Age, that is at least a *thousand freaking years* after the pyramids were built. Heck, that fact alone proves with 100% certainty that all Jews, Muslims and Christians are delusional fools and liars. Hell they lie straight to their god's face every time they claim to give a shit about him since we know they've never even taken the 5 minutes which is all it would take to *know* the stores about him are lies.
That is why religious people are all so terrifying and such a tremendous liability to decent people in all times and in all places.
Note: None of this tolerance for reasonable religious expression makes terrorism OK.
Actually it absolutely *does*. There isn't any way around this major point. *God* said to do so. The fact that almost no Christians *really* believe their idiotic fairy tales doesn't change the fact that the Bible clearly states that rape and murder are the appropriate tools to use on anybody who isn't of your faith. Jesus never countered any of that and, in fact, said that none of that old vile shit would ever change. Providing any support for any form of religious belief is providing support for the worst of the worst because the most vile of all religious are *exactly* those people who really believe in the religion.
The terrorists *are* doing god's work in exactly the way which he supports. If you think the bible teaches moral lessons then the terrorists are the only moral people. If you're not bat-shit insane, and therefore *know* that biblical morality is disgusting, then your morals are superior to those of worshippers of that disgusting monster of a god. There isn't any way around that.
The problem is that you're still talking about an all powerful god who made everything in the universe in exactly the way he chose including you in such a way that you would make all of the choices you do in the way you do. So even though you think you're choosing freely, those choices were entirely predetermined by god at the time he made everything. So he necessarily decided way back then who all of those going to hell are. He could have chosen differently, but he didn't.
So free will is necessarily completely inconsistent with an all-powerful all-knowing god regardless of whether or not you try to define it as being outside the universe becasue it is nonetheless the case that his choices are the sole determining factor in what all of our choices will be.
The entire Mediterranean started out Christian and was itself invaded.
Wow, just wow. It didn't start out anything. Christianity was spread throughout this area, mostly by the sword and on the threat of being tortured to death or accepting it. The muslims did more or less the same thing, but it was one vile religion spread to sela conquest versus another.
Your vastly skewed viewpoint is very clear when you define the history of the area as having started after the Christian conquests and taking that as the default position. It's not and it's a disgusting lie to pretend that it is as you did. This is exactly the type of rewriting history those Nazi scum in Texas are trying to pull on America.
Calling fascism "extremmist right", is ridiculous.
No, it's an absolutely accurate statement of fact. The fact that you are unaware of this simple, basic, obvious fact yet have the audacity to whine that reality isn't what you want it to be says all we really need to know about you, now doesn't it?
The Nazis were socialists.
No more than the people's democratic republic of Germany was run by the people, democratic in nature, or a republic. Names are often chosen as intentional lies. This tactic is often used to fools the most ignorant and reactionary members of a population..yourself in this case.
Fascism, along with all other left-wing ideologies, promotes the power of the group over the freedom of the individual.
So all you've managed to do is fall for the Statist's current tactic of completely redefining right, left, and liberalism in order to pretend that right is liberal, liberal doesn't exist and the left is nothing but all the bad parts of the left and the right. Of course, this scheme pretends the actual right doesn't exist even though it is what we're currently dealing with.
It's completely delusional, has no basis in reality and doesn't even allow you to accurately describe the current situation, since you're deeply ignorant, delusional and completely wedded to ideas which are blatant nonsense.
Right and Left are both entirely about using the power of the state against the power of the individual and *always have been*. There has never been a time when the Right been anything except the elite using the power of the state to keep themselves in power. This is why the list of right wing governments that have ever existed is Feudalism, Theocracy, and Fascism. Those are the right wing governments and not one of them has ever had any support for individual rights or freedom because the right is violently opposed to exactly that *by definition*.
So when you spout idiotic lies demonstrating that you don't have the foggiest idea what the terms you're misusing actually mean, you have to understand that all the intelligent, informed citizens are going to hold you in the deepest contempt.
When you do that in exactly the way promoted by the current rabidly anti-American, fascist scum actively working to undermine every decent thing this country ever stood for, that is to say *Liberalism*, which is neither Left nor Right because both the Left and the Right despise the idea of individual liberty it clearly demonstrates your deep ignorance of basic definitions and your wholehearted swallowing of really stupid, bullshit propaganda and blatant lies.
It doesn't really matter what wars they were fighting.
It absolutely does. More than anything else.
They are OUR soldiers, and it's our duty as a nation to support them, regardless of whether we support the politics that brought them to the battlefield.
Dead wrong and nothing but the cowardly mewling of a traitor in support of traitors.
If they obey *criminal* orders to start a war with an innocent party based on the lies of the worst traitors, then they are not *our* soldiers. They are the soldiers of the enemies of our country. As long as you're too cowardly to hold them accountable for their actions, we'll continue to have soldiers working directly against the best interests of our country. And we will continue to have criminal "wars" based on lies as long as you are too cowardly to stand up for our country which means standing against the military.
Invading Iraq was a purely criminal act, and everyone involved *at any level* is a rabidly anti-American criminal *traitor*.
I, for one, am sick to death of scum like you telling me I have to support people who have never done anything except *hurt* this nation intentionally and with malice aforethought.
If you're in the military, you are a traitor, plain and simple. If you don't believe that, then propose some way in which you could be anything else. The military has never defended me from a threat, only been one.
The idea that a patriot could join the military died in Vietnam in exactly the same way "I'm just a soldier following orders" died as an excuse at Nuremberg. A patriot is an *informed* citizen first and foremost. Joining the military means either one is completely uninformed or actively hostile to the founding principles of this nation. Neither allows a patriot to number themselves among the ranks of the military.
So please save your cowardly, treasonous douchebaggery.
Yea, precisely. It's all a matter of probability though. Chances are great that we've only observed a radius (at most) and not the diameter.
Wow, religious nuttery really makes you very *very* stupid. You actually don't understand that shit you puked onto the screen makes no sense at all, do you? Look a radial distance the other way and you have diameter. You don't even understand basic pre-high school math terms yet dishonestly pretend to understand so you can spout idiotic bullshit.
At least everybody knows that you're dumb as a bag of rocks and willfully ignorant to boot now.
I dislike Monsanto as much as the average Slashdotter, but I dislike revisionism too. The farmer tested patches of his crop with Roundup and harvested and replanted those plants which were resistant.
This is known as good farming practices which have been around for thousands of years and are the reason we have crops in the first place.
If any informed reader took the time to examine Steve's six reasons for abandoning Flash, they'd find that Jobs has clearly fallen off the deep end.
Unlikely. It's far more likely that he's intentionally lying in order to sell stuff. Welcome to Earth, enjoy your stay. If you need help staffing your sugar mines, let me know.
Economically, if you take the extreme "right" to be completely unregulated market and extreme "left" to be communist style central planning, the US has actually swung to the left and sadly continues moving in that direction.
Why would you take something entirely unrelated to what the right is as the definition of the right unless you're intentionally trying to deceive people in order to keep them spouting the same idiotic bullshit that you are? Oh, that's right, that's exactly what you are doing.
"Right" has nothing to do with regulation or lack thereof. It has to do with a philosophy of elitism where those with wealth and power consider it their right to use that wealth and power to promote and enforce their dominant role in society. That's why corporate welfare is inherently right wing. That's why the right wing governments that have existed are Feudalism, Theocracy and Fascism and there aren't any good ones to be pointed at. The right is purely negative and has no redeeming qualities whatsoever except in the minds of bigots.
The word you're kind of looking for is "Liberalism" which is neither right nor left and in fact their rabid hatred of it is about the only thing which both the left and right can agree upon. America, for example, was founded *entirely* upon Liberalism. That's why Aristocracy was rejected so utterly. It's why religion was flat out denied any role whatsoever in government as religion in government is entirely incompatible with a free society of any sort.
So when you see the mass of the populace robbed blind and all their money handed to the elite bankers, that's entirely right wing.
It doesn't have shit to do with regulation or non-regulation, it has to do with who is using the regulation to fuck whom out of what. If it's the rich using the power of the state to increase their wealth and power at the expense of everyone else, then that is right wing by definition.
This is exactly what is happening in America and has been at an ever increasing rate ever since WW2 when the Republican party turned rabidly anti-American after Roosevelt manipulated us into war against Hitler who was the hero of the Republican party and of the right wing as a whole.
Republicans are Nazis through and through. This is a simple objective statement of fact which you would know *if you had any idea what Nazism even is*. It's a simple philosophy to sum up in one sentence as Hitler himself did: Rabid opposition to the left
This is Nazism, and it is the only thing that the Republican party has. They sure as shit don't stand for anything else at all. You, being the ignorant fool you've already proven yourself to be think that stands for small government.... in spite of the fact that they are the biggest big government party. But why would you let facts influence your opinions?
This doesn't mean the Democrats aren't scum, but they aren't scum because they're "left" because they aren't. They're scum because they're on the right as well and there is nothing positive about the right and never has been.
Seriously, "right" means what it does because the representatives of the aristocracy, the crown and the church (ever the union of evil) sat on the right and the people's representatives sat on the left in the French assembly.
The utter stupidity, ignorance and delusion of scumbags like yourself is just amazing. You don't know shit about the topic yet you'll happily spread really stupid lies which can only hurt you...as well as everyone around you. Amazing.
Of course you, a great beacon of secularism, know what's best for the Catholic Church.
Why would you need to study theology to form a far more valid opinion than that of somebody who thinks that arguments about whether superman could beat up mighty mouse are in any way relevant to the real world? That's all that theology is, so a degree in arguing about really stupid, obviously made up fairy tales is not at all helpful for anything that exists outside of said retarded fairy tales.
That's just stupid.
The best thing for the Catholic Church would be for it to disband. It's the only way it'll ever rise above its long history as the most vile force for evil in the history of the planet.
Might cut down on the pervert problem too. I'm just sayin'.
They don't have a problem with perverts. Ratzo the Nazi kid fucker has declared it official Catholic Church policy to aid and abet in the raping of children as a matter of course. They have a problem with moral and ethical people complaining about it. There does not exist one Catholic who isn't an avid supporter of child rape though. There couldn't be since if they had any morals or ethics they would have left the church long ago because it is the official declared policy of the Catholic Church to aid and abet child rapists.
There is no excuse for being a Catholic. If you see one, beat them to a pulp or kill them on sight because by remaining a Catholic they have already declared their avid support for raping children.
The law is pretty clear: the trigger for "lawful contact" is the occurrence of something meeting Terry Stop standards.
Well, the objection that the sane people have to these sorts of laws is that we already know that the police *as a matter of routine* ignore the requirements and lie through their teeth about it afterwards by inventing a false reason for the stop.
Blatantly lying and intentionally violating the existing laws is already normal behavior for police, so adding new laws whose sole purpose is to address something which isn't even an issue except in the minds of ignorant racists can only be a problem. It isn't possible for this law to improve anything, so it's a waste of time and money in the absolute best case scenario.
Quoting details from words on paper like you're doing doesn't do anything positive either. It merely demonstrates your ignorance of the deep divide between the text of the laws and the reality of the enforcement of said laws by a group of routine criminals.
They headed that off by making blasphemy illegal. Supporting the rape of children: Good Catholic. Oppose raping children even if only in words and well you're criminal scum.
Just the Catholic Church continuing to be the paragon of moral virtue they've always been.
Those "civilians" in the first portion of the video fired on American troops.
Those "American troops" were war criminals by their very presence in that part of the world. Anybody trying to kill them is one of the good guys. That's how it works when you're defending your home and family from a bunch of mass murdering scum
The fact is, some lame brain Darwin Award recipients brought the children into a battle zone.
It's truly amazing your utter lack of anything even approximating a moral or ethical sense. Vile subhuman monsters brought a battle zone into the childrens' home, shit for brains. What you refer to as a battle zone was once their home before weak willed cowardly pieces of shit like yourself allowed yourself to be lied into supporting atrocities because you're too much of a whiny little bitch to use that lump of shit inside your head.

Probably. That, though, is where the free market idea and the political system ideas come together.
Just like you have a certain segment of the US population trained to screech "socialism" at anything their masters don't want, basically the same people screech "socialism" at any legislation which could free up our markets a bit from the fascist control they're currently under.
So, yes, it seems to be too much to ask and that pretty much spells the end of the US as any sort of a leader.
I'm just glad I have dual citizenship ;-)
The AC or cooler won't work if the magic pixie gas is not inside.

Good, or even bad intentions don't matter. Results matter. The real world matters.

Why would you take something entirely unrelated to what the right is as the definition of the right unless you're intentionally trying to deceive people in order to keep them spouting the same idiotic bullshit that you are?
Oh, that's right, that's exactly what you are doing.
"Right" has nothing to do with regulation or lack thereof. It has to do with a philosophy of elitism where those with wealth and power consider it their right to use that wealth and power to promote and enforce their dominant role in society. That's why corporate welfare is inherently right wing. That's why the right wing governments that have existed are Feudalism, Theocracy and Fascism and there aren't any good ones to be pointed at. The right is purely negative and has no redeeming qualities whatsoever except in the minds of bigots.
The word you're kind of looking for is "Liberalism" which is neither right nor left and in fact their rabid hatred of it is about the only thing which both the left and right can agree upon.
America, for example, was founded *entirely* upon Liberalism. That's why Aristocracy was rejected so utterly. It's why religion was flat out denied any role whatsoever in government as religion in government is entirely incompatible with a free society of any sort.
So when you see the mass of the populace robbed blind and all their money handed to the elite bankers, that's entirely right wing.
It doesn't have shit to do with regulation or non-regulation, it has to do with who is using the regulation to fuck whom out of what. If it's the rich using the power of the state to increase their wealth and power at the expense of everyone else, then that is right wing by definition.
This is exactly what is happening in America and has been at an ever increasing rate ever since WW2 when the Republican party turned rabidly anti-American after Roosevelt manipulated us into war against Hitler who was the hero of the Republican party and of the right wing as a whole.
Republicans are Nazis through and through. This is a simple objective statement of fact which you would know *if you had any idea what Nazism even is*.
It's a simple philosophy to sum up in one sentence as Hitler himself did:
Rabid opposition to the left
This is Nazism, and it is the only thing that the Republican party has. They sure as shit don't stand for anything else at all. You, being the ignorant fool you've already proven yourself to be think that stands for small government.... in spite of the fact that they are the biggest big government party. But why would you let facts influence your opinions?
This doesn't mean the Democrats aren't scum, but they aren't scum because they're "left" because they aren't. They're scum because they're on the right as well and there is nothing positive about the right and never has been.
Seriously, "right" means what it does because the representatives of the aristocracy, the crown and the church (ever the union of evil) sat on the right and the people's representatives sat on the left in the French assembly.
The utter stupidity, ignorance and delusion of scumbags like yourself is just amazing. You don't know shit about the topic yet you'll happily spread really stupid lies which can only hurt you...as well as everyone around you. Amazing.
Of course you, a great beacon of secularism, know what's best for the Catholic Church.
Why would you need to study theology to form a far more valid opinion than that of somebody who thinks that arguments about whether superman could beat up mighty mouse are in any way relevant to the real world? That's all that theology is, so a degree in arguing about really stupid, obviously made up fairy tales is not at all helpful for anything that exists outside of said retarded fairy tales.
That's just stupid.
The best thing for the Catholic Church would be for it to disband. It's the only way it'll ever rise above its long history as the most vile force for evil in the history of the planet.
Might cut down on the pervert problem too. I'm just sayin'.
They don't have a problem with perverts. Ratzo the Nazi kid fucker has declared it official Catholic Church policy to aid and abet in the raping of children as a matter of course.
They have a problem with moral and ethical people complaining about it. There does not exist one Catholic who isn't an avid supporter of child rape though. There couldn't be since if they had any morals or ethics they would have left the church long ago because it is the official declared policy of the Catholic Church to aid and abet child rapists.
There is no excuse for being a Catholic. If you see one, beat them to a pulp or kill them on sight because by remaining a Catholic they have already declared their avid support for raping children.
The law is pretty clear: the trigger for "lawful contact" is the occurrence of something meeting Terry Stop standards.
Well, the objection that the sane people have to these sorts of laws is that we already know that the police *as a matter of routine* ignore the requirements and lie through their teeth about it afterwards by inventing a false reason for the stop.
Blatantly lying and intentionally violating the existing laws is already normal behavior for police, so adding new laws whose sole purpose is to address something which isn't even an issue except in the minds of ignorant racists can only be a problem. It isn't possible for this law to improve anything, so it's a waste of time and money in the absolute best case scenario.
Quoting details from words on paper like you're doing doesn't do anything positive either. It merely demonstrates your ignorance of the deep divide between the text of the laws and the reality of the enforcement of said laws by a group of routine criminals.
They headed that off by making blasphemy illegal. Supporting the rape of children: Good Catholic.
Oppose raping children even if only in words and well you're criminal scum.
Just the Catholic Church continuing to be the paragon of moral virtue they've always been.
Those "civilians" in the first portion of the video fired on American troops.
Those "American troops" were war criminals by their very presence in that part of the world. Anybody trying to kill them is one of the good guys. That's how it works when you're defending your home and family from a bunch of mass murdering scum
The fact is, some lame brain Darwin Award recipients brought the children into a battle zone.
It's truly amazing your utter lack of anything even approximating a moral or ethical sense. Vile subhuman monsters brought a battle zone into the childrens' home, shit for brains.
What you refer to as a battle zone was once their home before weak willed cowardly pieces of shit like yourself allowed yourself to be lied into supporting atrocities because you're too much of a whiny little bitch to use that lump of shit inside your head.
