I'm trying to remember, who's gun did she grab just after they got her out of her cell?

No mansplaining!

[Travis Retriever]

...but many have gone so far as to send Meghan death threats--squeeing death threats!--all because she made the main character, who's the personal apprentice to a princess, a princess herself!

Seriously? O_o  All this over a little kid's show?

[Ibrahim90]

Princess Leia was a sexist Damsel-In-Distress trope. That makes her a product of the mysogynistic patriarchy, right?

that or lazy story-telling. Knowing Lucas, my money's on the latter.

@ Surhotchaperchlorome: meh, that's nothing: one guy got death threats (or at least public wishing of death by fiery car accident) for having an ironic poster of Highlander II: the Quickening.

Ah yes, Highlander II: The Sickening. I might make those threats just because he reminded me that that movie exists.

Reminds me of how much some people hate comic sans.  It's not the best font out there, but really, the flak it gets just seems misplaced imho.

STOSSEL PLS!

STAHP!

People now call me a "traitor to Libertarian ideals" and "disgusting" because I'm "not that worked up" (http://www.creators.com/opinion/john-stossel/terror-and-safety.html) about NSA spying.

Maybe I'm naive, but I don't totally dismiss the government's claim that data-mining is constitutional and may stop terrorism. This debate has two sides.

Can somebody cite the relevent clause in cthe ocnsituttion that supports this? Stossel doesn't seem to really know what he's talking about as far as I can tell. Hello, does "secure in persons and papers" ring any bells?

I think the argument goes that since they don't actually do anything with the data without a warrant, only the metadata, that protection doesn't apply.

Of course. that falls down stupidly under any sort of rational examination, but that makes it perfectly good for the mainstream media.

[AnCap Dave]

It seems like Stossel is hell bent on continuing the notion that the NSA stuff isn't bad.

Here's a pitiful attempt at handwaving by basically saying "GEE GUYS THE WAR ON DRUGS IS WORSE!"

Stossel apparently forgot that just because something else is worse doesn't make the other thing somehow okay or less evil.

Some time a go on fb (so long that i couldn't reasonably scroll all the way down to get the exact quote XD) a friend of mine by the name of pika-chan posted an article about a gay individual being beaten by another person who was irritated by his gayness. Pika is an AnCap but he is also critical of the nap and he states that in an NAP-society the other guy was justified in beating up the gay guy because annoying him is a violation of the NAP. This concludes my fail paraphrase. Have fun~

[AnCap Dave]

Well it didn't take long for some fail in the comments of Shane's latest video:

Great, first we have some liberals trying to make atheism synonymous with liberalism, now we got the libertarians trying to do the same thing.

Go to freethought blogs for how they see libertarianism parallel theism.

At the end of the day, rational thought and ideology generally do not mix.

Now here comes Shane to call me some names he'd never have the guts to say to my face (though the invitation's still open).

@bold: Oh man, we have ourselves an internet badass here!

So your friend chris-chan..I mean pika-chan thinks just exists somehow violates someone's rights?  Yah...this guy is a nutbar.  That sounds like something a communist would say.

So to for those no in the know, a bloke going by the name "Jesus Proof" has been commenting on Shane's video on atheism and libertarianism being negative philosophies.  He sent me a PM, which goes here:

"Subject:  design>chance
In recent years, scientists have been stunned to discover how life in the universe is astoundingly balanced on a razor's edge. The Big Bang was actually a highly ordered event that required an enormous amount of information, and from the moment of inception the universe was finely tuned to an incomprehensible precision for the existence of life.

Embedded within the laws of physics are roughly 30 numbers—including the masses of the elementary particles and the strengths of the fundamental forces—that must be specified to describe the universe as we know it. If these forces took on even slightly different strengths, the consequences for life would be devastating.

Fine-tuning is extremely evident in the initial conditions of the universe. Some of the initial conditions would include the expansion energy of the Big Bang, the overall amount of matter that was present, the ratio of matter to antimatter, the initial rate of the universe's expansion and the degree of its entropy. If any of these initial conditions were to change even slightly, we would end up with a sterile universe.

Nearly all scenarios lead to stillborn universes with no atoms, no chemistry, and no planets; or to universes too short-lived or too empty to allow anything to evolve beyond sterile uniformity.

Watch The Teleological Argument (What is really says)

Watch Refuting Weak Anthropic Principle Arguments

Watch God's Hand Was NOT Forced"—The idiot in question.
