The Deluge of Absurdity, Ignorance, and Bad Posts

[Paul Kemp]

These great patriots are defending the constitution.

krazen understands his role perfectly and is quite self-aware now in playing it.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Yeah, there's no point in posting Krazen stuff here anymore. We can safely assume that any post he comes with will be deluge-worthy.

[Keystone Phil]

I'm pretty close to confirming that I know krazen in real life (from before his posting here) and about 75% of what he says is "for effect."

[Marokai Backbeat]

Oh good, he's not actually a sociopath, just a useless lying troll who enjoys putting on a character for the internet. Phew!

I actually find this somewhat comforting. The idea that he could be 100% serious made me shudder.

[Keystone Phil]

It hasn't been confirmed yet but I have a pretty good idea especially after a conversation I had earlier in the week. Don't know if I'd say he's lying though: he actually is a hyper partisan but likes to embellish his positions/analysis for shock value. Here's a crazy idea: stop paying attention to him!

This is kind of what I expected.

I'll go with the second option. We need to know everything he knows and what sort of other plots his type are planning against America.

Option 1, because this little thing called the Constitution exists.

Well, you just support Terrorism, Chairmansanchez.

Jesus, loosen up a bit. \

Considering what the rightwingers have been saying about the boston bombers, if it turns out that a person is responsible for the West, TX disaster, why shouldn't they also advocate for him to be sent to Guantanamo? Religion?

My apologies, I read right through your sarcasm. Consider this undeluged. I am a bit on edge tonight.

Well yeah, that's what they read like. One wouldn't need to know him to guess that.

Well, some people here seem to believe he's 100% serious in his comments and not embellishing. If he is who I think he is, there is some embellishment but he really is a hyper partisan.

Yeah, I was including that part.

You type in Obama on google and the 3rd thing to come up is "Obama Impeachment". should we be worried??

Now I know what it must have been like to read my posts 2 years ago

I'll say AynRandLand for another reason.  After religion is destroyed, greed by and large will be destroyed.  Most people are naturally benevolent, they need religion/superstition/junk science to feel they have a superior standing than others and therefore justify their greed.  Societies in which religion is powerful breed this type of thought.

...what?

[Filuwaúrdjan]

Well it's certainly a novel argument.

[DC Al Fine]

Most people are naturally benevolent

That's an optimistic view

[Antonio the Sixth]

Think what you want of science and religion respectively, but when you mix the two absurdity inevitably ensues:

The Sun burns out and dies like any other star, about 20 million years from now.  (Although I expect Jesus to return before then.)

It's absurd to think my belief system will save humanity?  You do the exact same!

no matter.

This is backwards, of course. People are naturally self-centred and need society to teach them otherwise.

Plenty aren't.

For an atheist, you sure don't seem to put much stock in scientifically conducted research.

What scientifically conducted research?

The most religious Americans actually give more money to secular causes than do secular Americans.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

And how many "secular" Americans are there?  

Ehhh... go buy your way into heaven/do it because you are told if you like, whether you like it or not that's what guides the good deeds of most religious people.  If the ends justify the means, good for you.  I don't agree.

I just don't understand the complete lack of equality in the matter.  The religiouses are allowed to advertise their belief system as the humanity's salvation... but us atheists aren't allowed to do the same?  I genuinely believe atheism/agnosticism/secularism is what will save humanity.  That's why I believe in it so strongly.  

More bigotry against atheists from the Atlas, but that's to be expected.  Every minority has to deal with BS.

Jesus [inks]ing Christ...

This is what Libertarians want America to look like, and they don't even know it.

No, not really. The building posed a threat to neighboring buildings, and other individuals’ lives. According to most Libertarians (with the anarchists and the hardcore Objectivists being excluded) the individual’s rights only extend to the point that preserves their own life without threatening the life of somebody else.

But didn't those individuals negotiate their rights in libertarian logic, by agreeing to employment there? Who would be doing the law enforcement in libertarian society, by the way?

Yes, if they saw the place falling apart, then they shouldn't have worked there. Everyone needs to eat, however and they took the risk everyday for that reason. It is certainly not their fault that they are dead, of course-don’t misconstrue that as blame. The buildings collapse threatened neighbors not connected with the factory at all, and is where the crime is in my opinion.

As for law enforcement, that belongs to the state. In fact, that is the entire purpose of the state.

New Jersey is pretty much my second state, other than my home state of PA. Overall he's pretty horrible governor.  He's anti-union, anti-choice, anti-equality, anti-civil liberties, and probably a neo-con on civil liberties.

If he is elected president, which he won't, he would continue the corporate policies and anti-civil liberty policies that have happened under Obama/Bush/Clinton.

All of the Republican candidates, expect maybe Rand Paul, but he flip flopped on drones so I would never vote for him, are for things like NDAA 2012, Patriot Act, FISA, Gitmo Bay, drones, anti-marriage equality, anti-choice, pro-corporate controlled.  Hiliary will also continue the pro-corporate anti-civil liberty policies of Obama/Bush/Clinton.

That's why I like many proud Americans will vote third party in 2016.  Because we aren't foolish enough to voe for the lesser of two evils (Democrats).
