Fail Quotes

[Lord T Hawkeye]

This is the same group of people who insist that libertarianism would lead to feudalism, even though feudalism is a form of government.

As Shane once pointed out, even if that were true, they'd always be free to leave!  Under their own twisted logic, if they stayed in such a place, would they not therefore be in support of it?

Oh snap!

The comments by snake2006 defending Nintendo are complete fail.

Not only does he deny the fact that video games are a completely different form of medium than television and movies, but has the absolute arrogance to believe that HIS idea of what "ruins" a game should apply to others.

It should be said, the video itself is win.

I don't really understand this at all. If we're to take the claims of statists at face value, we need this copyright stuff to protect companies from lost sales; so if someone uploads a movie where anyone can download it for free, people will get the movie that way instead of buying the DVD, or watching it on cable or satellite TV or Netflix or whatever. But this? Do they REALLY think that someone watching someone else play a game will mean they won't want to play it afterwards?

I mean, really: how many times have you seen kids in a park watch another kid playing hopscotch, and you ask them why they're not playing it, and they say, "I don't need to; I've already seen someone else play it"?

Not only that, but how many kids would say, "You need to give credit to the creator of hop scotch while playing hop scotch."

It's silly, and the sooner Nintendo gets their heads out of their asses, the better.

Not that I'm really into the gaming genre, but I've seen a few "Let's Play" videos, and they've all mentioned the creator and the game they're playing. Wouldn't be any point otherwise, from what I can tell.

The idea of Let's Play has grown to a point where it isn't entirely about the game itself. The popularity also comes from the personalities who are actually playing the games too.

Guys like Chuggaaconroy, for example, are going to get views no matter what game he plays, because people actually like him as well as the games he plays. Whether or not they like his personality, or how he goes about giving information about the game, to simply watching him make mistakes or playing with a certain amount of skill. The player makes the video just as much as the game itself does. If they didn't, people who only upload game footage and nothing else would be just as popular as LPers, and more times than not, that simply isn't happening.

In the comments of this vid (vid itself is unrelated)

"Good video, but in the interest of halting the unknowing spread of malicious right wing lies: that debt clock graph you used is just republican scaremongering. Oh my God the debt is spiraling out of control, we're doomed, let's cut social security. That sort of thing.
        It only looks scary because of what it leaves out, the massive increase in the size of the US economy over that same period. Debt-to-GDP figures are a much better picture of the debt burden and that graph isn't remotely scary."


I couldn't let that go unchallenged so I replied...

So...running up a bill and dumping it on the next generation is totally cool with you?
        You know that kinda makes you an asshole right?
        And you also know that anyone with even an elementary level arithmatic can figure out that social security is not sustainable unless you make it run at 0 overhead which is impossible.


Watch him try to look smart

pro tip for the economic illiterates among us:
        That "bill" that is being run up is money that we owe to ourselves. Moralizing about the money future generations will owe conveniently ignores that the money is also going to be owed TO those generations.
        You know even less about SS than you do about the debt, so you throw in words like "overhead" so you can pretend you know what you are talking about. The Federal Government does not operate under the same constraints as a business or household


Me again

"pro tip for the economic illiterates among us"
    It thinks it's smart, isn't that cute? ^^
    "That "bill" that is being run up is money that we owe to ourselves. Moralizing about the money future generations will owe conveniently ignores that the money is also going to be owed TO those generations."
    Money I owe myself? That made no sense whatsoever.
    "The Federal Government does not operate under the same constraints as a business or household."
    Becaaaaauuuuuuuse.....?

So making marginal cuts in projected spending is comparable to terrorists killing thousands of innocent civilians by flying planes into buildings? I know humor is subjective, but damn! There's criticizing someone for their politics, and then there's squeeing libel. This is squeeing libel!

The only plus side to this is that the comment section of the subbreddit where this image is posted is unanimously disgusted by this, and keep in mind, this subreddit is plagued by libtarded moonbats who oppose the sequester like the Hong Kong Flu.

If I was the guy making this poster, I'd put 440 people on it (congress+VP+Mr.Choom+that woman of blood*)

I know right?  These statist idiots would shit if what guys like me want to come to pass happened (note:  I'm an anarcho-capitalist.  I'll let you figure out the rest. ;3).

Fail comes from the comments of one Mat Helm, whom I think would sound a lot smarter if he didn't start with his various assumptions. His comments in red, mine in blue, others in green.

To summarize, the video discusses business being driven away from Anacostia because of 1950s zoning laws which forces retailers in DC to provide on-property parking.

ah u libertarians, once again you don't take the time to understand why things are the way they are. While I don't agree with the inflexible government, downtown parking is a much more complex problem than it seems. Without rules and that hated meter maid, no one would ever find a parking spot because those that work there would have them all filled all of the time. It would be like having a neighbor with 20 relatives living with them and using all the on street parking...

"If you don't do something, there will be chaos!" Same old pro government logic.

I'm about as anti government as they come but yes, sometimes that's true. The one job the government has is not only protecting a persons rights as spelled out in the constitution. But also protecting rights from being infringed upon by others exercising their rights (hope I said that right).

The issue isn't that there's not enough parking... The issue is that Anacostia's zoning laws require developers to provide parking _on_site_, which raises costs, be it monetary or in terms of square footage.

...one, I saw streets in front of those buildings, and where there's street, people will park... Two, where do the employees park? And lastly, are they expecting all their business to come from with in walking distance? So where do the customers park? Outside of the pedestrian area I mean? Or will they need a law banning anyone who didn't walk from home?

If you actually watched the video or lived in/near DC, you'd know about stuff like the bus and rail systems, which people use throughout DC, not just in Anacostia. Furthermore, I think you underestimate how far people can and will walk, especially in a crowded city such as DC which makes travel by car rather inefficient.

"Where do the employees park?" Probably at least half of the employees don't have cars.

...But that bares no resemblance to reality. Most of downtown workers park in "the right" place or as u put it, don't drive to work. But that still leaves far fewer spaces than those trying to park there. I still maintain that this video over simplifies the issue.

This is what happens when you place faith in mother nature over scientific reasoning. Enviromentalism: it may not be a religion, but it sure as hell acts like one.
