The Simple Truths Silver Mine

[courts]

Can someone please explain to me why muffy can't just start an Update blog on whatever service?

I'm still hoping for a boycott.  Morons on the left love a good boycott, the Updaters seem to be made almost entirely of left leaning morons, it's a perfect fit.

[Leftbehind]

lol ironic, as it's usually right-wing morons recommending futile boycotts [insert 'power of the consumer' horsesh**t] as the alternative to any and all proposals for state regulation or appealing to the lack of it as proof there's no public disgruntlement with whatever example of corporate piss-taking is happening at the time.

Our healthcare system has always been the envy of the world

What healthcare system?

It speaks volumes of the state of the forum when we have 73 responses to a thread where some kid talks about drinking 100 bottles of soda a day. We have nowhere to go! RIP Atlas forum.

As somebody who has had people wish that I commit suicide, I don't give a damn about the human dignity of a savage bully. Which is what the Update enablers are.

Yeah, because intentionally referring to a she as a he - knowing the long-standing issues that surround such bullying - is totally without victim, right?

Just stop.

Even in the post Update era, Inks's self-righteous, angry lawyering is insufferable. Some things never change.

Without Torie this place would be in shambles. My posting has improved since he started with me. Don't you all agree? Once he got done with me I became a new man.

"Finnish students are better than American students."

(FTR, I don't actually think Finnish kids learn better than American kids, but the Finnish education system is indisputably better.)

This thread is an example of the perils of abstract thought and thinking about things in isolation.

Everyone deserves human dignity.  If you can't accept that, you have become the monster you claim to fight.

If there are seriously people who only come here to masturbate to the 'comedy' of a guy with serious emotional problems destroying what remains of his life I don't think losing them is any great loss. I get the impression that if Bushie literally killed himself you'd all laugh and declare it GREAT WRITING!!!!! or whatever.

We'll be better off without the sick Update enablers.

Jesus christ antonio, oakvale  1) misunderstands what are Bushie's problems (financial, not emotional, 2) attributes responsibility to Bushie for 'destroying his life' (hah!), 3) repeats a tired, old misunderstanding of update supporters.

He doesn't understand anything about the issue, and you shove that garbage in here.  Its simply stupid, not truth.

To be fair, there was one poster who relentlessly taunted Bushie throughout the course of Update. He was also the mod in control of the board the Update was in.

Wow, BRTD in the GPG. Never thought I'd see the day.

This isn't the GPG, though by Bacon King's count I've had several entries in that too.

Since politicians aren't surgeons or medical experts, are you okay with having a poor quality of medical care such as in England where they wait 6 hours in the emergency room?

Fact: The average ER wait time in the United States is 4 hours, 7 minutes. (2009)
http://www.businessinsider.com/utahs-eight-hour-emergency-room-wait-time-average-is-a-us-record-2011-11

Fact: In England, 96.3% of ER visits took less than 4 hours.
http://www.annemergmed.com/article/S0196-0644(11)01541-1/fulltext

England has lower overall medical costs than the United States. People in England also have a longer life expectancy.

What a terrible health system that must be.

This mind-numbingly stupid notion that incremental progress is somehow worse than status quo because it might weaken the call for more radical action is one of the most detestable ideological legacies of orthodox marxism, and has been proven wrong thousands of times in history.

One would think that no half-serious "progressive" would still believe this crap, but apparently there is nothing more resilient than this kind of pseudo-radical bullsh*t.

Thank you guys for reminding me why I'm not a True Leftist, and never will.
