    Counterpoint: it doesn’t take that many taking violent action to completely fuck shit up. Violent coups don’t take big numbers.

    That's only if nobody fights back. 

    I think, now, that there will be plenty of fighting back.

    Jesus fucking christ. 

    This clearly isn't the board, intellectually speaking,  for you.

    Take your shit to aggy.

  3. We live in a time where people of science (gasp), NOT RELIGION, have worked very hard to figure out this vaccine shit and yet people refuse to act not only in the interests of those around them but in their own interests. Why? Because mankind is kinda stupid. 

    Like Voltaire (or somebody) said: man is smart. Mankind is dumb. 

    Vaccines have basically done away with smallpox, polio, and other diseases. Those diseases can come back. And if they do, let the anti-vaxxers reap it.

  4. Look, the world/universe is, in parts, a cruel and indifferent place. If you wanna go full retard/anti-vaxx then that's up to you. I just hope you've taken care of your family, updated your will, and by god don't expect public/medicare funds to pay for your stupidity.

    Is it really such a bad thing to get these idiots out of the gene pool? I don't think so. Good. Don't get a vaccine. Increase your odds of dying. Next.

    One of my law partners, who is one of the more intelligent and rock solid people I know, gives this reason for not getting the vaccine.  She hasn't gotten the shot because she may have genetic predisposition to MS (her mother died of it a few years ago) and is worried about how a drug without full FDA approval might affect her.  And her daughter who's starting college this fall hasn't gotten the shots because she's worried about a potential link between the vaccines and infertility (which I believe has been debunked in scientific literature). I'm not sure I agree with her reasoning, but she's not a full anti-vaxxer, as her husband and son have gotten their shots.

    I'm sure that I don't agree with her reasoning. 

    She sounds like she's so smart that she's stupid. Which to be fair, describes about 80% of lawyers. Law school fucks up their thinking process.

    I can see your point. But, ask yourself this: IF, in order to be registered for the draft, each individual’s parent had to agree, would you do so?

     

    I may be taking this comment out of context, but what kind of fucked up policy would that be? A nation cannot go to war unless the parents agree? Both parents? 

    So a nation could be held hostage to mothers who don't want their children to go to war? 

    That would be fine if everybody did that.

    Says the guy who negged me for applauding Cleveland changing the racist name of their baseball team. I’m not sure we should take you seriously. 

    Look, I'm not against the name change, but it's not a racist name. Injun? Probably. But then you'd better not read Huck Finn. 

    If you get bent out of shape over the word "Indian" then the real world isn't for you.

    I'm dumb as fuck because I still don't fully understand. This is bullshit 

    Do you really want the state/govt to pull this sort of bullshit? Promising that there will be no prosecution, thus depriving (from what I've read) one's ability to use one's fifth amendment rights? Try to think of the broader issue here. 

    This isn't bullshit. It's bullshit if people are comfortable with the government doing this. Just my opinion. There's a reason why we have the Bill of Rights placing limits on the powers of government.

    I have been trying to tell people for more than a decade now that Mattress Mack is a fucking prick, but it's become this H-Town thang that you have to love him no matter how titanic an asshole he repeatedly shows himself to be. "Oh but he lets all those people sleep in his store during floods!" (On write-off floor inventory, and he makes damn sure every camera in town is there to publicize it.) And here he figures he can just rub the whole city's noses in his pile of shit politics because we just love adorable ol' Mack so much.

    1. I don't agree with Mack's politics.

    2. I don't give a fuck if he uses write-off floor inventory, he's still helping.

    3. I don't care if he uses it as a marketing opportunity, he's still helping. 

    4. I don't really get how this proves that Mack figures that he can "just rub the whole city's nose" in it.

  10. Holy shit what is going on I don't understand but lets just do whatever the smart science guys are saying to do.

     

    That's actually a good approach for most things, especially public health. 

    You know what's not a good idea generally? Listening to evangelicals. For anything.

    you know the centuries old practice of loading one of the weapons with a blank round to give psychological cover to the firing squad members who may second guessing their participation?  
     

    I would offer a blindfold and cigarette to each insurrectionist.  And lean in to whisper, “all weapons hot.  All rounds live.  Final orders from our President Trump.  Said to tell you ‘Dead Men don’t Talk and  We honor your sacrifice.”  Then step aside and give the execution order.
     To see their face of eternal confusion, thinking it was Trump who gave the order for their death.  In that final second, to see that “wait, what the fuck?  Hold on!” Expression on their face.  
    when you finally get to see someone break and question everything they though they knew.  It’s usual very gradual In life, but every once in awhile it delivers itself on one brief instant.  Seeing a human’s belief system completely implode like that……I assure you it’s the most addictive rush on Earth.  Nothing else comes remotely Close.  

    Nothing comes close?

    Not even a shorn scrotum?
