Fail Quotes

[R.E.H.W.R.]

In this week's Naruto chapter, Naruto gives this stupid line while having a discussion with the bad guy after all of the Shinobi Alliance shows up.

I thought everyone knew Naruto is stupid.

[R.E.H.W.R.]

I kinda have to say something about this, but the whole "90% of fights end up on the ground." is bullshit. Unless you have statistical data showing that's true, don't use percentages.

I thought everyone knew Naruto is stupid.

Yes, he is stupid, but this is supposed to be an "inspiring line" to make him look heroic.

That a fan translation or a direct release?

That a fan translation or a direct release?

It's a fan translation admittedly, so we'll have to see what the official translation looks like to truly know the exact line, but until then, the point still stands.

The manga is only to that point? No wonder they are running a fuller arc in the anime. (Of which I refuse to watch.)

I agree and I've been wrestling since I was 9 and have black belts in Judo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

This excerpt from a recent exchange on one of Derek Colanduno's threads has to be seen to be believed:

He officially lost this argument and all future arguments he might get in.

I pointed that out.

Even the name is a fail.  Sorry, buy, no, that is NOT a Bowie knife.  You try a block with the back of that thing and it just isn't going to work properly.

Plus, it doesn't look a thing like David Bowie.

Actually, my Bowie knife is actually named David.

It seems that the professor has conveniently left out few very important things that he should have mentioned.The payroll taxes are the second largest source of federal funds, being close behind the federal income tax

[SPOILER]
[/SPOILER]

And oh look, surprise surprise, the the payroll tax is inverse to the corporate tax over the years, and let us not forget that the professor stated that corporations use tax deductibles and other means to circumvent taxation.

[SPOILER][/SPOILER]

This is in light of the fact that he failed to mention the per capita part of the equation. As the population increases, so does the number of people involved in production of capital, and therefore revenue for the government. To state that taxation has changed and yet the slice of the government has remained the same is true, if you also ignore the fact that GDP has increased over the years

I also didn't like the way he commented on taxing the rich, and how he presented that predicament of rich people if the taxes increased, ignoring the fact that people who also make lets say 300 000 will also pay the same percentage. Not to mention the fact that the issue is centered around corporate tax as much as it is taxing the rich.

The amazing part though, is that I agree with him when he says that a simplified tax code is necessary, allowing for a much more cohesive system, without the option of manipulation. That, and cutting unnecessary expenses can be sufficient for not merely dealing with the deficit, but generating a nice surplus as well.
