I figured it out. They used 8848 instead of 8448.

e_angst posted:Eric S. Raymond actually wrote a whole essay in early 2002 about how 9/11 could have been stopped if we let passengers carry guns on planes. His main point of evidence that this would work was fact that there was never a hijacked plane in Israel (he seemed to believe that Israel let people carry guns on planes, when of course they actually have some of the most strict airport controls in the world). He really went off the deep end after failing to destroy Jem and the Holograms.

What cracks me up is that this gets posted by the same people who turn around, get onto Freep, and go on about how Muslims have some magic loophole in their religion that lets them violate their rules if it aids them in killing infidels, or something to that effect.

The funniest part really is that "don't eat pigs" is an incredibly minor rule that there isn't really any punishment for. It's a guideline more than anything; if you're starving go ahead and chow down! If somebody cooked you dinner and would be offended if you didn't eat it then nom away.

If those 6 year olds would have acted more aggressively then only a single digit number of them would have died. Even in their fantasy bullshit stories they still admit somewhere between 1 and 10 people probably would be killed.

Cruel and Unusual posted:There was a guy who wanted to assassinate Nixon by crashing a plane into the White House. But he got shot after killing the pilots while the plane was still on the tarmac. There was also the guy a few years back who flew his plane into an IRS building. I think he owned the plane, so it wasn't hijacking, but it was a weaponized aircraft post-9/11.

So I'll be exposed to zero monthly gun violence, provided my governor isn't a shithead who sabotages the system? Sign me up! quote:At first I thought this was about that presidential candidate (can't remember who) that cooked bacon by wrapping it around a machine gun barrel. Then I realized it was actually advocating a universal background check to prevent potential terrorists from getting guns.

They're using "democrats"as shorthand for "black people" and "black people" = gang violence. This also doesn't stop them from making macros about how every mass shooter was a Democrat, even the ones who weren't eligible to vote (cho) and ones who shot a Democrat congresswoman (lighter)

Ever since Pulse, the conspiracy theorists are coming out of the woodwork for anything and everything.  I decided to explain this poo poo myself. Turns out, Bitter Almonds look similar enough to confuse them with Sweet Almonds and contain a shitload of cyanide to the point where a fatal dose of cyanide to a child would be 5 to 10 almonds. Hmm, why would the evil government want to hide this magical secret from us?! Apparently this wraps around the whole "LAETRILE KILLS CANCER!" conspiracy theory as well (the FDA also banned that because of severe cyanide toxicity). Everything is a loving conspiracy theory.

It doesn't even make sense, why would the government block a magical cure for cancer? What would they gain? But these people work off the operating premise of "government bad therefore...." So they don't need a reason.

RagnarokAngel posted:It doesn't even make sense, why would the government block a magical cure for cancer? What would they gain? It's usually something about the current treatments for cancer being so profitable that having a cure would cost the pharma industry millions, and of course the government is in the pocket of that industry. Which is conveniently ignoring that the first pharma company to develop and sell a simple and reliable cure for cancer would make approximately infinity dollars off of it.

Sure, there's the tired old "big pharma" chestnut, but the broad social and economic cost of cancer, on a national level, has got to be some sort of order of magnitude more costly than a loss of profits from cancer treatments.

I've been looking for a side-project to work on to learn some new technologies. Also, I love this thread. Would a website like this be interesting (also, does it already exist?) 1. You upload a political meme to the site. 2. You tag that meme with the arguments that it's trying to make. 3. You then tag those arguments with reasons why they're bullshit. Eventually there would be a library built up of attempted-arguments along with rebuttals already associated so eventually it would be as simple as upload picture, pick the argument it was trying to make, and have instant rebuttals. Probably have a way of generating an anti-meme image that contains the original with a summary of why it's dumb. Build in a way of voting on the best rebuttals. Eventually an image-search to find duplicates if you try to upload one that already exists.

Smallpox? No that was a kindly old English doctor and independent study outside of the establishment and he single handedly led the worldwide eradication program. Cholera and typhoid? Hookworm and whipworm? Those went away because of sanitation so we don't need to cure them anymore. The cures were only released because there was no profit in them anymore. Anything treatable by antibiotics? Penicillin was discovered by accident by Fleming, an independent minded researcher. All modern antibiotics just make you sick and create superbugs so they have new customers in the future. Polio? Hep A and B in the western world? Those aren't actually curable once you have them, we just got better at preventing them. So you're admitting that vaccines are a good thing? No through other ways because the Western world has the processed food microwave radiation that causes disease even though disease rates have gone down because sanitation good even though pasteurization bad because of the raw milk *rolls around in own contradictions*  I believe that's how it normally goes.
