  1. Re:So what? on Ron Paul's New Primary Goal Is "Internet Freedom" · · Score: 1

    Just like there are licensed and non-licensed practitioners of all manner of other professions. You don't need someone who spent 30 years in school to set a broken bone, though you would probably want one for your gallstone removal. But we have practically the same level of requirements for both procedures, which is why it costs tens of thousands of dollars to set a fucking bone.

    You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about. The libertarian community is split as to whether corporations should even EXIST, much less whether they should have all these rights given to them by fascists.

    Wowee, that is so helpful! Imma go forge the One Ring in the fires of Mt. Doom! Thank you Tolkein, for inspiring me with your silly tale of two midgets simply walking into Mordor! Surely, we can build a world just like Middle Earth if we try hard enough!

    You are just a highly disagreeable person in general, aren't you?

    And I guess you forget about the fact that science fiction has a rather bizarre tendency to become science fact, and rather quickly. People can't make magic rings, but they can make space ships.

    You asked for specific citations for those specific issues (hassling journalists, "emergency" dictatorial powers, and the oulaw of gun ownership). You were given those citations, then you moved the goalposts. The other crap you are talking about is spread between Putin and Chavez.

    Funny how you talk about bias, but you are about as pro-Chavez biased as I have ever seen in my life. I personally don't give a fuck either way, nor do I own a TV, or read from places like CNN except for getting stories for situations like this.

    No, you are spreading the lies here, bucko. You are claiming that there is no group of people who decide who lives and who dies in social medicine, when it is clear that there is. The cognitive dissonance is so bad you are flipping out like a fundamentalist Christian claiming there is a missing link.

    The question is whether these groups exist, not whether they are right or wrong. Spectacular amount of doublethink around here. There is both no such thing as a death panel, AND the kid in the above story didn't deserve a new liver (implying the death panel made the right decision). fuckin' lulz

    The only "failure of science" is deviation from the scientific method. Having a hypothesis or a theory that is later proven wrong through observation is no failure, it is a TRIUMPH!

    This is why a lot of people are rooting for a Higgs Boson that does not match what has been predicted.
