SquadronROE posted:I think a more valuable test would be an ethics test. Maybe including the following questions: Look, half a century ago we all agreed to stop flipping turtles onto their backs. So if a turtle's on its back now, then it's as a result of choices that the turtle's made and is nothing to do with me. Did I personally flip the turtle on its back? No I did not. And what's more, do you know who the real flippers of turtles on their backs are? Turtles. That's right, turtles.

Why is the turtle on its back anyway? It's probably a slut and totally asking for it.

I help the turtle by eating the turtle. A turtle on its back in the desert is a great source of hydration.

If it's a legitimate flipping, the turtle has a way of flipping the whole thing upside down.

How do we know that God didn't intend for the turtle to be on it's back? Who am I to interfere with His plan? *believes this while also believing people shouldn't rely on government welfare, only on the kindness of charities when they fall on hard times*

Here I am a salamander, and I see this turtle on its back, begging for my help. Demanding it. And I see a long line of them, slowing me down on my unique path. Telling me that there's no reason why a salamander should be in the desert, that maybe the turtle could me help out of there. I am Sal Blarph and I refuse to listen to the "People's Congress" and their inane wet theories. I will leave them all behind. Once I get to.... Galt's Cloaca.

This test was so much better before that bleeding heart Kampff got involved: Obama brings all the enemies of the world into a little playground where they swing each other back and forth. Do you have the right frame of mind to free this nation from this Obama oppression?

I mean, sure, but there was an element of courtesy involved from the Yankee invader. Also, y'know, the question of how the French division was close enough in the first place.

There are some legitimate reasons why Florida isn't as friendly to solar power as you might think. We do get a lot of clouds, rain, and severe weather, more so than much of the South and Southwest, but yeah the Florida GOP (read: state government) can usually be counted on to do the worst and/or dumbest thing imaginable.
