Atop the 4th Wall - Captain Tax Time

Both the comic and Linkara's comments about taxation are full of fail.


Hilarious, since the $.30 drop was shown to be a myth when this same e-mail circulated in 2007. In April of 1997 they would have been protesting gas that was on average $1.24 a gallon.

Yep.

Yep.

I like it very much.
But I don't get the caption. Is it fail because Phantom Hourglass did have a big budget?


Also "Wrath of Kahn" is the best Star Trek movie, no doubts about that. Ricardo Montalban deserved an Academy Award for his performance.

The idea is the game had a considerably lower budget and it was terrible.

Something tells me the guy who made that macro is one of those people who looks down on fans of BeJeweled, and pronounces "Casual Gamer" with the same tone as others pronounce "terminal cancer".

Well, I found it on a Nintendo based page on Facebook. I know a lot of Zelda fans actually look down on the DS Zelda games (Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks) because of the touch screen based controls. I've never played the games, so I can't say if they're actually good or not.



this guy, who I suspect never read my replies to another user:

Quote from: some random dudeYes they would as long as there is no alternative, if the only alternative is to die, you take what you get. No matter how rotten the deal is.
See Scandinavia, they cover every single citizen, exactly the same care, and yet the cost per person for that healthcare is less than half of that of a US citizen.
Wanna know why? Look at the health insurance companies and doctors in the US's, bank accounts. Thats what you are really paying for in the US

my reply: to that:

Quote"Yes they would as long as there is no alternative,"
and I made it clear that what I propose would involve MANY alternatives for much lower prices, so no, it's not going to happen like you say it does.
"See, Scandinavia..."
which are small countries, with even smaller populations, where such a thing MIGHT be more reasonable. even then, what I have in mind will cost even LESS than your NHS.

cont:
I say it will cost less, since there wouldn't be any government beaurocracy adding on to the cost (and of course, I explained why it would remain cheap). so yeah: better costs, better treatments even for the poorest, just as much oversight, all without government? why not give it a try?
finally, I did make it clear in one comment that I do NOT support the US system, which is basically a hybrid between government provided medicine and corporations backed by Government money.

you would have to see the other comments I left for context. it's very funny that while I'm calmly explaining the logic of what I say to them, they're using all manner of emotional appeals ans useless platitudes. judjing from the above reply, I'm starting to question if they ever read what I said.

What does it say about someone who accuses me of ignoring their points when they then proceed to block me from replying to them?  I'd call that cowardice but at this point, it's par for the course for abysmally low standards I've come to expect from window breakers.
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"
The more you know...

Most of the comments on Judge Napalitano's facebook status on this report.

Here are some in particular that are straight up vile:

"All of the States should require voter ID....most minorities are illegals so their votes don't count....what is Washington afraid of." - Maria A. Zielinski

"You need ID to get a job, cash a check, buy a drink, and buy COUGH SYRUP! Why not to vote?" - Cyndi Rosenthal

"Really? Legal residence don't have an ID? I am sure an ID has to be shown somewhere. If they don't have an ID it's because they can't get one because they are not 'LEGAL.'"- Judy Wright Livingston

"Arazonas voter ID laws only discriminate against illegals and the politicians who want their vote." - Stephen LoneWolf Cline

"If someone cannot afford a photo ID, they can petition the State to issue a non-driver photo ID at no cost to the individual ... anybody who legally operates a motor vehicle anywhere in the US has a legal photo ID ...
there is no discrimination here." - William Atkeison

"ALL STATES should have voter ID laws. FL does and we do it. Why not all???" - Barbara Pernaris

"cause without the illeagle votes Obama cant win" - Frederick Herzman

"So how are these minorities cashing their welfare checks w/o an id???" - Kurt Pechinsky

"If I have to show my ID to buy cigarettes & alcohol, then I should have to show it to vote. You can't even get federal or state assistance without a valid ID, and, in most states (if not all), if you.are dirt floor poor and cannot.afford one, they'll GIVE you one for FREE! I'm glad I live in a state.with voter ID laws. No ID? No vote! Simple as that!" - Wanita Stewart-Sawicki

"I have to show an ID to be able to drive a car (drivers license), an ID to pick up my kids from school, an ID to write a check, an ID to even have an account, an ID to cash a paycheck, an ID to have a job, Really? You can bet they all drive, if they don't have IDs then that is just ONE MORE THING THEY ARE DOING ILLEGALLY!!!!!!" - Judy Wright Livingston

"Illegals are criminals...Our Criminals loose their right to vote ! Why the double standard ? Deport these Illegals and their anchor babies . No rights of any kind for them in this Free Republic We Call Home!" - Ray C DeMeo

"There is nothing wrong with having to show ID. If you are a legal citizen of this country, an you don't have a government ID, there is no problem getting one. Any antagonistic views indicate, to me, a hidden reason not to get the ID. I agree with the ruling 100% judge." - Jerry Fischer

"If someone can't be bothered to actually obtain an id, how could they possibly be capable of assessing the issues in an election? The answer is they can't, so decrying this as some sort of modern day poll tax or literacy test is really nothing more than a craven attempt to cultivate votes through demagoguery or class conflict. This is simple and obvious, especially in a state like Arizona that is clearly flooded with illegal aliens. One approach to mollify those who are trying to harvest the ignorant/illegal vote would be to accept a one-time pass, if one came to vote and had no ID, they could vote that first time, and at the polling station they would fill out the information for the ID which would then be required to vote next time.This isn't that hard, and we are all being played by those who are only interested in the power they can obtain by using minorities to achieve their ends." - Greg Milliken

"there's no sensible reasoning in trying to argue against this" - Michael Woodford Jr
