The bit where they go so far as to tell agents to never compare db levels to anything tangible, while minor, is hilarious in it's depravity. Can you tell us anything about your family being approached by these folks? Can they identify the company in question? Can you show them this and ask them if the tactics outlined in this document sound familiar?

I spent literally weeks fighting with "lets nuke Japan HURRRRRRR" idiots because my outrage got the better of me. If I'm going to get into arguments with that level of stupid, it's gonna be face-to-face from now on since those usually end quickly. This was especially funny when the people saying it were also "HURR SOCER IS FOR FAGS" types.

Tokaii posted:I've never understood believers using this saying. If it were true, and of course it is not, it would reinforce the atheist argument that man creates gods out of his fear of the the unknown, especially the great unknown of death. I remember Robert Anton Wilson being fascinated with the idea of men calling out for their mothers in times of extremity. Anyway, I find it amusing how many arguments for theism are actually hugely insulting to either believers or God if you think about them.

Saint Sputnik posted:Here's a couple retarded opinions, written in to the paper I used to work for. Background: Goshen College, largely Mennonite, decided to play America the Beautiful before sporting events instead of the Star-Spangled Banner, on the grounds that it's a warlike song. Good on them, I thought. I read an essay years ago that stuck with me, about how warlike language permeates American culture. He was on Gangland awhile back. Looks like Aleister Crowley did when he got old.

It was wrong when America shut down anarchist and communist media outlets throughout the past century or more for advocating revolution, it was wrong when Venezuela did it. There's a difference between "Revolution is necessary, let's build to the point where we can rise up" and "right now grab whatever you can find at hand and go downtown and kill some folks".

It must be that they have chosen poverty, for to admit that my prosperity (and you wouldn't believe how little wealth the vanishing middle class has had to redefine prosperity to in order to keep thinking of themselves as prosperous) was anything but the result of my choices and my choices alone would be to admit that I might as easily be in their shoes. That is an unthinkable proposition; I am a good person and therefore deserve to be successful, and thus those who are not successful obviously do not deserve it.

Install Gentoo posted:Did you watch the full cut of Watchmen and still think that? The theatrical cut is different in many ways as well as being much shorter, the full cut is a lot more faithful to the Watchmen comic. I haven't, no. I saw it a couple of times in theatres (I had to go a second time- the first showing was ruined because every single incident of violence or sex was met with gales of laughter from everybody in the audience, which started out as annoying and became disturbing right around the rape scene, which drew much laughter), and the impression I got both from the way Snyder handles Rorschach and 300 is that Zach Snyder thinks that Leonidas and Rorschach are loving awesome badass heroes. I didn't get a whiff of satire from 300, which may be my own fault for rolling my eyes constantly through it, and Watchmen seemed like it major-league missed the point.

Brown Blitzkrieg posted:Look I'm almost on your side (in that I hope D'Souza dies soon), but you can hardly say Stalin killed millions of people. Millions of Nazis, yes, and also a lot of people died from a famine, but why blame a leader for a natural disaster? Seriously, that's like saying President Bush killed people thousands of people by making Hurricane Katrina happen. A lot of the blame for the famine comes from stupid, unscientific ideas about agriculture stemming from Stalin's embrace of Trofim Lysenko, whose inane ideas flattered the Communist leadership's ideals and who derided Darwin and Mendel as "uncommunist". (See also Nazi Germany's rejection of "Jewish science", not that I'm saying Nazi Germany and the USSR are alike.) Myself, I'm always fascinated by how the millions of people who die early deaths from lovely working conditions and low pay aren't counted as having been murdered by capitalism.

There's also something which tends to piss me off, which is the conflation of liberalism with socialism, which is a radically different ideology calling for a radically different society. The idea that paying taxes and getting government services has anything to do with socialism or Marx is about as widely accepted as it is complete nonsense, and this conflation makes it difficult to discuss politics in a sane way.
