I suppose it's the logical next step after founding a cult.

I wish I lived in a world where I never had to hear the word "problematic" again. Every time someone is about to tell me something fucking retarded, they preface it by using the word "problematic." In real life as well. Usually, "problematic" just translates to "I don't like that thing you said and...

What is this, the perturbation theory of rape?

As for the idea that taxation "really does mean that we're all forced to work for the collective". Who, in the first world, can honestly claim that they owe nothing to the people around them?

(98â€“1, actually; 1 senator abstained)

Final point about libertarianism:

The Patriot Act.

Our lovely Senate Democrats and Republicans passed it 98â€“2, FFS! (Russ Feingold = hero)

Meanwhile, batty old Ron Paul railed against it relentlessly in the House.

And, by the same token, no-one wants to live in a society with no law, or no means of paying for public services either. Anarchism is juvenile, because it sees only the restrictions of more organised society, and naively imagines that doing away with the whole thing will bring about utopia. A notio...

What sucks most about libertarianism is that I share many of its values (some strongly, some moderately) but would never publicly call myself a libertarian. Because... libertarians... Meh.

So now that "Dear Robin" has happened... can we just declare victory and go home?

I think libertarian utopian society would rely on a whole posse of Frank Castles to decide who is and is not a criminal. Except most of them would probably be corrupt.

OMG!

Yeah, Theon killed a couple of random kids. I sympathize with him for the torture he's since endured, but if someone's going to be treated that way then it might as well be him.

Are the police really becoming more violent?

PZ Myers doubles down on his own stupidity (last comment from his long incredibly stupid blog post): "Celebrity culture. Fuck it.

FTR, I don't think you're a troll. Just argumentative.

Steersy: great Dr. Strangelove clip!

Oh, and I do think that PZ has a point in this case about the media's priorities. What I object to is the presentation. The smug, insensitive, judgmental, self-aggrandizing presentation.

Remember earlier today when I wondered whether PZ Myers and Dawkins are still best-friends-forever? :think: I think I've figured out the answer. :whistle: Probably not good news for the Dawkins-Ophelia peace treaty, either...

He's an asshat, that's for sure.

And while we're at it, does PZ have Asperger's? He really doesn't seem to understand social cues and is definitely neuroatypical. That would grant snowflake status and make his lived experience holy writ. I don't see him as being an aspergers case. I wouldn't even call him neuroatypical. I tend to ...
