Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

I'm pretty safe to assume you have less faith in government than I do, on this point, and there wasn't a value judgment intended in that statement. If you're arguing with a libertarian, they're probably going to have libertarian perspectives on most issues. If you're arguing with a communist, they'...

Re: The Neverending Thread for Political Shit

As to whether YT was right or wrong to yank Rand Paul’s video and suspend his account? I’m pretty ambivalent. He’s getting more attention now via the Streisand Effect than that video would’ve ever gotten. Do people really seek out YouTube videos from sitting US Senators? Sounds very boring. I’m sur...

A minor correction: Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy originated in the UK. The first case was confirmed in 1985. Far as I know, the FDA had no authority over the diet of cattle in the UK at that time. You got me. I am getting vaxxed now because you talked me into trusting the fda. And i herd they a...

Do you remember oprah in the mid eighties saying she would never eat another hamburger? Thats because mad cow disease was going around. Why?

This was, of course, going to be your response. And probably boyyourself’s and Cole’s and others’. No surprise.

If I had to guess, it’s because God is merciful.
