This is complete bullshit as both social commentary and in the sense of video games.

Oh yeah, Sonic totally wouldn't have found a monitor box full of rings or a bunch of rings lying around were it not for our precious government.

Fun fact about Emerald Hill zone in Sonic 2: It is possible to get ALL of the chaos emeralds within the two acts. It requires 50 rings to enter a bonus stage which lets you get chaos emeralds. Your ring count also goes back to 0 when you are done with the bonus stage.

Since we're on the subject of fail from college humor.

[BlameThe1st]

This article from Big Think is mostly fail, but mostly this part:

The Cultural Cognition groups we identify with are not defined by the familiar political labels... right or left, Republican or Democrat. Rather, our groups align around the basic ways we want society to operate. The two groups that have taken American democracy hostage are;

– Individualists, who prefer to live in a society that leaves the individual alone to make his or her own choices. Politically, Individualists tend to be Libertarians and Tea Party "the government has too much control over my life" conservatives.

- Hierarchists, who prefer to live in a society that runs by predictable stratified hierarchies of economic and social class...everyone in their place...a traditional order that is reliable, stable, comfortably 'the way it has always been'. Politically, Hierarchists tend to be Republican and conservative, favoring the free market that maintains the status quo and rejecting government 'interference' that tries to make things fair and flexible for all.

That last part especially made me almost facepalm my brains out.

What I have since come to learn from articles like this is that, when they make statements like this, almost the exact opposite is true: the state maintains the status quo while the free market provides freedom and flexibility for all.

Lol at title of the article What Can Explain the Irrationality of Those Who Have Taken American Democracy Hostage

So if the majority don't want government intrusion into their lives, doesn't that mean that those who oppose it hold democracy "hostage". (such bullshit)

What is that suppose to mean anyways? That if you hate the government you are automatically irrational? That if you hate being told how to live you life, you're somehow holding other people hostage? People like this are despicable, while at the same time hilarious. They call their opponents  irrational while at the same time spewing out horseshit like this with the typical smug liberal attitude of "How dare you want to be left the hell alone. You selfish bastard. Now stand there while I take all your money for my selfish reasons and call you irrational when you point out the fucking absurdity of my position."

An 8-year-old boy was suspended from a Florida school for using his finger to simulate a gun during a game of cops and robbers with a classmate, his family said.
Jordan Bennett was sent home from Harmony Community School in Osceola County after he and his pal were busted using the gesture during their game on Friday, WKMG-TV reported.
"There was nothing in his hand. He used his thumb and index finger," the child's outraged mother, Bonnie Bennett, told the news station.

this thread is absolutely full of shit from both sides of the aisle. Some highlights.

You do realize the Republicans are the Party of Small Government? Is it any wonder they don't use their power to force legislation down the throats of the American people?

Doing nothing is what the Republicans are all about! If you want the government to force people to conform to pointless legislation then by all means vote Democrat, but your inability to understand why it might be a bad thing that the Democrats have passed so much pointless and often damaging legislation while the Republicans have done comparatively "nothing" only belies your ignorance of what conservative politics is all about.

The Republican apologetics is kind of weird since the guy is British.

mo, the extremist hacks (particularly of the Tea Party ilk in the House) are the ones living in a delusional bubble, far detached from reality. It's now patently clear that these Tea-Party, minarchist shit-bags don't care about who they're affecting. If I lived in Murica, I think I'd definitely vote Democrat (if an election were held today). And guess what, I currently self-identify as a conservative here.

So you support getting rid of the sequester cuts right? Those are easily just as damaging to the economy and don't benefit anyone in the way that the ACA does.

Yes we can't just start increasing spending less every year! That's a disaster!

"No, ACA isn't a great system, but it can be fixed to work better.

The same old "You have to work within the system to make it better" excuse for violence.

I

t's not really a bad system at all actually. Yes of course a public option or single payer system would be a superior alternative, but ACA is structured very much like Romneycare in Massachusetts which enjoys an 84% approval rating and has gotten 99%+ of their population insured.

No one has proposed any serious, politically-viable and effective alternatives to the ACA. The ACA's exchanges are very similar to markets for insurance that Daryl Issa has been touting in recent days. And the insurance mandate itself was crafted by the Heritage foundation.

all I can say to this one is "take it away boys!"

Interesting that the entire piece is saying "nothing got worse, most things got better, and most people love it" despite the fact that this type of damage takes time, sometimes decades, to be noticed.  Four years after Medicare was imposed in Canada, it wasn't obvious that we could neither pay for nor staff the medical system, as we can now clearly see to be the case.

By doing what?

Oh, not going to actually say?  Sigh...

I liked the part where it was after governmebt intrusion around '96 that caused the problems in the first place.

In other news, the house just passed a bill that would pay the fed. employees  after the "shutdown" is over, thus negating the point of a gov shutdown in the first place. Apperently, the NPS blocked shoulder lane to prevent people from looking at mt rushmore. So they can't afford to pay people to run mt rushmore, but they can pay people to block it off with cones?

Dude its maoistrebelnews

the name itself should imply that what he says is fail

EDIT: Its just as stef said. The purpose of ridiculous belief systems such as this is not because of rationality and truth, but its to cover emotional needs that were unmet in childhood.
