It used to be that Alaskan oil could only be sold on the US market. It was kind of a big deal in the 90s to get that restriction removed.

Things got a lot worse in Alaska after the feds revoked the special status of the District of Sitka and all the millions of people there had to leave.

A Ron Paul-loving friend forwarded a nonsense image from this Facebook page. When someone asked "Why not 2013? Or 2014?" the page owner said "We won't have enough people committed to the plan at that point. We need a million, so they can't just ignore us." I wrote on the wall that he wasn't going to do anything. I'll update if I get a good response.

Wait, by "not paying taxes", do they mean "not filing an income tax return", or literally having their employers not take out any withholdings, or not paying anything in if self-employed. If it's the former, they are just leaving their own money on the table. They are actually paying more taxes by not filing a tax return. They also have zero idea how income taxes/tax returns/withholdings work, which is comically stupid considering they are obsessed with taxes. If it's the latter, ha ha ha. Enjoy your audit, the IRS has more time and resources than you busy Captains of Industry. On a technical level, how are they going to avoid paying sales tax, gas tax, property taxes, or other misc. taxes like tobacco tax? babies havin rabies fucked around with this message at 15:18 on May 3, 2013 |

They're also going to manually deduct the sales tax from each purchase and hope the cashier won't notice.

I think the intention is to have no withholdings, and not file at all. I'm going to give them a ton of credit and assume they also don't have traditional incomes, because the IRS will just garnish their wages from their employers (although I'm pretty sure they're too stupid to realize this). I love that they're declaring this on a public website, with all of their personal information attached. They're making it so easy to get caught.

I got called out, legitimately I suppose, for ridiculing a source like Breitbart as a "neo-conservative shill" (they've been proven right time and time again dude!) and saying my friend's post could be used for a political buzzword drinking game. Then I got called a hypocrite for citing the Washington Post article instead. Followed soon after by the whole "you liberals are all the same!" tripe. There's just no pleasing some people, I guess if I want any credibility with these fucks I'll have to make sure all my sources are Fox News or Blaze. Funny to get accused of ridicule in the same breath that they mistake the person for the argument, though. And of course now that the DOD has made a clarification they see that as validation that Breitbart was right all along. I'm this close to just taking the easy way out and trolling these guys any time they open their mouths. Fighting their rear end-backwards train of thought is a losing proposition. Breitbart is right all the time? Sorry bro, there's no helping you.

If it makes you feel any better, I was on the receiving end of several ad hominem attacks and called a fascist when "debating" some libertarian freetard. He later banned me (because he's the admin) when I pointed out his dog whistle racism. Irony isn't on the spectrum for some people.

If the newspaper article cites a study or something, locate it and link to the primary source instead. If they try to call bullshit, ask for specific criticisms of the methodology. Also, Breitbart's stance on global warming is the most effective and succinct way to demonstrate that he is a worthless shill.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TvWXN7OLfU This came up on Facebook recently. This is absolutely glorious. The guy blames the illuminati and freemasons for his failures as a musician. He and others talk about the cosmic 432hz as being a way to fight back against the oppressive mind control of 440hz tuning of instruments. Reading that led me to a whole other level of crazy conspiracy nut poo poo about how music is bad if it isn't played based on a 432hz A natural.

I don't mean to continuously post my interactions with idiots on Facebook but I just got into a discussion with someone and this is how he responded:quote:Vulich, normally I would not associate you as an idiot. This is that one time. The KKK is a leftist group created by the democrat party against Republicans for supporting the black community. Many white Republicans were murdered for that support, which is excluded from your revisionist history. White supremacy/nationalism have traditionally been beacons of democrat philosophy. (And wanting legal immigration is hardly anti-immigrant Vulich). All politicians that have had affiliations with the KKK have been democrat, save for David Duke. Look up anything regarding Woodrow Wilson and you'll find the true democrat stand on race even to this day. But then there's your ridiculous Dixicrat LIE ... that in 1963, dems are still racist and Republicans are color-blind. But then, magically, switch entire ideologies the following year ... as likely as getting residents of New York and L.A. to pack up their poo poo and switch places. I'm actually scared of getting probated/banned here because of so many buzzwords this friend of mine is hitting. The reelection of Barack Obama broke his brain.
