Fail Quotes

You want to know what's the Irony. The politicians who would vote for the raise in the minimum wage are the same ones debasing the value of the dollar.

Didn't Shane say that if wages kept up with productivity the wage should have been 22$ an hour, but it isn't because the government taxed and inflated it the other 13$ out existence? Correct me if I'm wrong here.

Actually, I believe Shane was using that to illustrate what would happen if we followed the labor=value model (which ignores a bunch of other factors) and he makes the point that an arbitrary minimum actually makes some people's labor worthless (or worth less) on the remains of the market. To that, I'd add that even if we made the entry-level wage 22$/hr , that would not guarantee that wage would have the same value (read: buying power) that a 7$/hr wage had the day before we got stupid (I mean gave everybody the "raise")

My dad is watching Family Guy on Adult Swim right now and the episode that came on is pure fail.

"The Old Man and The Big 'C'."

In this episode, Carter Puderschmidt, Lois' father finds a cure for cancer and refuses to release it because he believes there wouldn't be enough profit in curing disease.

Of course Seth MacFarlane would believe this is what businesses actually think.

Also sounds a might bit conspiratorial of MacFarlane....  Not that I'm surprised.

WTNH, the local news station here, put up a story about Syrians in Connecticut pleading for US intervention in Syria.

[yt]S0deHEQ_bY0[/yt]

While I feel sorry for this woman, if they honestly think that this alone is good enough of a reason for us to intervene in Syria, they're absolutely bonkers. They absolutely refuse to even question the White House and have left some major hints that they are in favor of Obama attacking.

Another example of this was yesterday when they sent a guy out to Hartford to talk to protesters. The interviewer, Josh Scheinblum, asks a protester what solution he would give as opposed to military intervention. The protester then proceeds to talk about how we need to be careful what information we hear because we were told lies as justification for invading Iraq. Scheinblum then takes the mic away while he's talking and exclaims, "I asked for a solution! That's not a solution!" or something to that effect.

So in other words, Scheinblum is a burden shifting scumbag and turd.

Actually, the point was that if we'd kept our money silver, that $1 minimum wage in 1960 would be worth about $22 today. This very strongly suggests that the increasing disparity between increased pay and increased production is due to the debasement of the dollar.

Doubleday's a douche.

And it isn't "Libertarian research". it's "proper research", and "shitty research".  being known for either has nothing to do with Politics.

Ho-Re Cow.

This fail's quite a doozey.

From the comments of Shane's awesome video here:
[yt]S2OsdoAAjsE[/yt]

Every single comment from a dude calling himself Eli Nope is a massive horrifying fail.

A sample:

Shane:  "And the difference between rape and lovemaking IS NOT SUBJECTIVE."

shchpendrop:  "Then how do you tell the difference?" (Oh, did I mention every comment this pillock leaves is a fail?  Because it is.)

Shane: "Wow, REALLY? You're REALLY asking me how to tell the difference between rape and lovemaking?
Thank you once again for showing how statism poisons the mind."

shchpendrop: "The difference is the presence of consent, of course."

Shane:  "Then why did you have to ask?"

Eli Nope:  "because that makes it subjective. it is subject to consent."

That's just the tip of the (fail?)berg.  Check the comments but I suggest heavy alcohol consumption.  This guy is completely out of his mind.  This is what subjectivism/postmodernism does to you.

Also, Eli Nope's comments on this video too: [yt]anP42zvPPRQ[/yt]

Hell, shchpendrop's comments on all of Shane's Atheism and Libertarianism videos thus far are all epic fails.

I'm a bit late to the party, I know.

I don't think he was calling it "libertarian research", he was saying libertarians do research. Which is kind of odd for him to say, since obviously he hadn't done any :p .

On the topic he was on about: If you think about it, there's pretty much no such thing as NOT genetically modified food, because we've been selectively breeding the food plants and animals for the attributes we want the food to have pretty much since we emerged as a species. The only difference, essentially, is 21st century technology has made us exponentially more efficient at it.

yeah, you're right XD

yeah, we all think the same about GMO's then: everything domesticated is sort of a GMO
