@Shane:  That's true.

My apologies in advance for quoting this one, if it breaks any forum rules, but I simply HAD to put this one in: 

"@scottvska

Take your liberal crap somewhere else. DNA evidence as well as empirical evidence show different race has difference distribution pattern of physical traits and intelligence. "Race doesn't exist!"? What world are you living in? Yeah, keep your head in the sand. " --lwglwglwg

Yes, because controls don't mean anything, amirite?

Ah, good old Kia252, I wondered when that little worm would slither along to make up facts

"Just so you know, the AMA is a private organization that has nothing to do with physician licensing, and is most certainly not a the only organization around for physician education and advocacy (their primary roles from my understanding). You may want to rework your talking points."

If the AMA is a private organization and not a monopoly, I am Princess Peach of the Mushroom Kingdom.  -_-
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"

"Turned a million dollar profit last year? How can you classify Locks of Love (yeah, right, love) as a non-profit charity with a four star ranking with that kind of profits." --Some idiot commenter on Charity Navigator: http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.comments&orgid=9285

Yeah, like it's a HORRIBLE thing if charities make money! Does this guy reek of political dogmatism or what? I'll betcha he thinks UHC is a great idea...

Because as we all know, the state never makes any money whatsoever with all the people in it doing what they do as unpaid volunteers.
Oh wait...

I honestly don't see rational justifications for 'incompetence' theories. Much of our society is planned, just like executives in a firm would plan buisness ahead so that profits can be maximized. Similarly, such planning ensures the maximization and consolidation of power, so that power does not escape from those who are already in power. These people will of course compete (and I'm not accusing a set of people, you could be one of them if power acquisiton was your goal)" --someone on one of Stefan's videos on "statism is dead".

When someone does something horrible, you can choose between malice or stupidity.  I say stupidity is the default because it (a lack of smarts in this) is the negative position.

I'll admit that the politicians are in it for profits, I won't deny that.  I just don't think they are THAT smart to know all of what is going on.
They probably honestly believe that they are doing good.  However, odds are they are probably just indifferent and/or don't give a rat's ass about us and are only in it to better themselves...

"It's amusing how public schools elsewhere in the free world manage to put American public schools to shame. So, the answer is private schools? I'm sure they'll do just as great a job as the health care industry." --some state cultist on this video

As someone who heavily relies on medication to at least stay periodicaly sapient I hearthely disagree with this statement.

"@Surhotchaperchlorome. OK, so you're not a neo-con. What word best describes someone who believes the market is the answer to all the planet's ills?
Stefan may not be a neo-con, but if he believes only unpaid researchers can be believed, he is not a deep thinker. He has swallowed every denier argument without checking them. I've debunked the first few here, and I posted a video reply that debunks two - if he approves it! A few minutes research would have shown him the polar bear claim is a lie."--cristop5

*facepalms*
I'm an anarcho capitalist; which is about as far from neo conservatives as you can get.
Neocons aren't free market.  They just pay lip service to it.
I never said Stefan was right.  I even posted Potholer54's Climate Change playlist to correct him.

I tell him a shorted version of the above after the facepalm and here's what I get:

"@Surhotchaperchlorome. Have a look at greenman3610's channel. It also debunks climate denier myths.

Is 'anarcho capitalism' the same as laissez faire? Apparently it gives you license to use the word 'violent' in a new way. It seems you can now slip 'violent' into any sentence provided it is in rough proximity to the word 'statism' - another new word. Whether you include or remove the word 'violent' - the meaning of the sentence remains exactly the same!
Might I suggest 'violent redundancy'?"

What a fucking dogmatic prick.
Gee, it couldn't possibly be because, oh, I dunno, the State and statism is violent?
I mean, come on...
That whole post was one big fat poking fun/prodding/poisoning the well/appeal to ridicule.
Bah, I don't have the strength for this.
If he's going to treat Capitalism like a religion, I'm sorry, but he's a fucking idiot.

Stefan was totally on the ball about the eco-hypocrisy vid though.  I mean seriously, if the biggest proponents of global warming don't seem to be taking it all that seriously, why should we?

First comment: "unification church is all about inter faith work and bringing peace to this world, ignorant people focus on the negative and ignore the positive"

My comment: "Bullshit.
It's a cult that extorts money out of gullible people."


Now for the fail quote:
Quotebrunoklotz: "@Surhotchaperchlorome

It is the movement of the Messiah and Saviour, working to save this world. But such motivation is maybe beyond some people's imagination."

The old "yer closed minded" bs for the win.

For those wondering, here's the video in question:  [yt]6ffvLTwtlfI[/yt]

Is it just me or is that theme just promissing unwarranted funk?
