Fail Quotes

Wow, why to miss the point of an image.

I saw that same image, but it had a different caption that really got to the heart of the matter.

That's a fav quote!

Well thanks to this page for confirming that parody is dead.

6) The FDA which is a government institution monopolizes the regulation of this.  Need I say more?
5) Govco is in charge of the schools, colleges, universities, etc, so this is their fault.  End of.
4) See above.
3) Which is why knowing what samples and populations a study *is* dealing with and to whom they apply and why is so important.
2) ...Not even gonna dignify that with a response.
1) Which is why repeatability and falsification is such a must, and why IP laws and bogus 'contracts' legally prohibiting scientists from publishing results that make a company look bad and thus preventing honesty are so dangerous.

For those of you that aren't aware, The Young Turks did 2 pieces on the lawsuit involving radiation contamination by the sailors on the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan.  Turns out, they weren't exactly accurate and Thunderf00t called them on it.  So they posted the following "correction": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6acXDwLOvqI

I linked to the Youtube page because the comments are great (at least right now, when there is around 30 of them).  They are calling them out for hypocrisy.  Among the best are:

"Gees guys, do a correction video with humility, don't come out swinging, you look like idiots."

Wow, you're still idiots. The sailors on the Reagan are NOT sick from radiation, it's all bullshit, that is the fucking point. The foam is from SOAP, they were scrubbing the deck. Even in your correction video you get the shit wrong. Pathetic.

And

Oy vey. TYT criticises everyone and their mother week-in week-out about the alleged failures of journalism in America.

But as soon as they get something wrong, we get a video quietly uploaded to TYTShows with Cenk and Ana rolling their eyes and making silly excuses.

What's most hilarious is Cenk's "I DIDN'T WRITE THE CAPTION" whilst he criticises other journalists for regurgitating news and not doing their own research.

On second thought, maybe I should have put in a nomination for TYT to get BBE or IE.

Well, I guess it was only a matter of time until Steve made a 5 Stupid Things about Libertarianism video, and it is as ironically stupid as I thought it would be:

My response in the comments:

1) So? As long as I'm harming no one else, I should be left alone. The problem is that government too often hassles and punishes people who have done no harm. (i.e.: smoke a plant, have sex with someone of the same sex, walk along the street while black, etc.) If opposing that unnecessary intrusiveness makes me "selfishness", than I posit that every single decent human being is "selfish."

2) Our current government has the power to target citizens for indefinite detention, lethal force, and assassination. If that doesn't count as "tyrannical", I don't know what the heck is. And again, if opposing that excessive power makes me crazy, than every single decent human being is.

3) If rolling back bad policies that have proven to have done more harm than good makes me "anachronistic"...well, you get the picture at this point.

4) Libertarians like me point out the tangible problems within our government. Statists reply that if we don't like the current government as it is, that we should move to Somalia because the government and the taxes we pay to fund it are the price we pay for living in a civilized society. You tell me who is "condescending" and "smug" here.

5) So government is the magical force preventing the warlord barbarians from forcing themselves in charge? News flash: they already are in charge. As my friend LordTHawkeye once said, everything you fear will happen without government has already happened. Meanwhile, there are several countries with more economic freedom than America (Hong Kong, Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Switzerland, Canada, etc.), and none of them are the nightmare scenario that you imagined. Finally, if you think government is the only tool to prevent people from gaining and abusing power, please watch Shane Killian's video here: http://youtu.be/yAa6dYBwy7M

In the comments of the above video:

Reading the comments here. Seeing a whole lot of hate. Seems like some people weren't hugged as children. Probably symptomatic of the problem that this film is trying to highlight, which is the breakdown of family values. Broken families tend to produce broken people, which explains these comments a lot. Perhaps if they sought out love and family in their own lives, they wouldn't have a need to be so hateful. So sad. What is this country coming to?

Seriously?  Smug ad hominems with no substance.   Christ, it's like when Stef shows off his conservative said.  Never good.

Note how every single one of these either is government or is an industry that greatly benefits from government regulation and laws (e.g. healthcare providers and drug rehab clinics respectively).  Put in fail quotes because of the word "legitimate" used when describing government.

Okay, there is a mountain of fail coming here.

drug rehab clinics invent patients to get tax dollars [/unquote]

Well...sort of. But typically what is provided doesn't cover the actual cost of recovery.
#5

Ethiopia traffics stolen kids to America

Um, no idea...

Oh fuck it. T dog pretty much covered it (except where nothing we do has anything to do with anything)

A sample: "
    Wives of alphas should learn to ignore their husbands' affairs and mistresses

Alpha husbands who can get their rocks off with younger pretty mistresses won't be as liable to walk away from their marriages because their sexual satiation, coupled with the wives' loyal acquiescence, would discourage them from seeking divorce to clear the way to hot sex. Double plus societal bonus: More alphas tied up in marriage means more women available to marry betas.

The reverse scenario does not apply because a cheating wife is much more dangerous to the stability of the marriage than a cheating husband. Double standard? Of course! Deal. Human nature cares not for your equalist shibboleths."
