You know, they say "give a man enough rope and he'll hang himself."

Man did I get a disturbing example of this today...

Another liberal whackjob bleating about how evil insurance companies are so I decided to not try and counter his arguments but simply ask questions and see how long he could dance around them before saying something stupid.

I got to the point where I asked "Food is arguably an even MORE essential service than medicine since you could theoretically never see the  doctor and take your chances but you will definetely die without food.  So, why does nobody object to making profits off food?"

What did I get in response?

QuoteIt isn't immoral to charge for food because the human body can run on almost ANYTHING. That means that I could go outside right now and live off the plants and animals living there. People can live in the desert, because that's what humans do; we survive, we persevere, we overcome! When people buy food or water they are paying for the CONVENIENCE of another human finding it and preparing it. We pay extra for exotic foods that are rare to our lands because it takes more effort, time, and money to gather them.

Yeah...those 25,000 people a day who die of hunger.  They just weren't trying hard enough.  Wow...
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"
The more you know...

Yikes...just yikes.

Speaking of defending atrocities and double standards...
...Something that has bothered me about politicians is that the public will go crazy if they cheat on their spouse, or have whatever else going on in their personal lives.
Heck, I'm sure they'd try and burn the candidate at the stake if he/she molested a few 5 year olds and killed his/her family.
I was taught that people are like this to presidential candidates especially because the person is supposed to be the "moral leader".
But even if the person who became president did the actions above BUT still managed to get elected and, because the person has the politics of Harry Browne or Mary Ruwart, manages to save millions of lives from our wars, FDA, etc, isn't that a good thing?
The person, on net balance saved many many lives and helped billions more.

Yet normally a person with a clean (or close to clean) personal life gets elected and millions die as a result of his policies.
Isn't that far worse than the above scenario?

Yet my teacher would probably say that
QuoteBut he's the moral leader!!!  He can't be president!  He's too immoral!
If I were to defend the first president.

Yet if I were to bash the second president I'd get
QuoteBut he fought them over there so we didn't have to fight them over here!

Because murder is perfectly OK so long as it is done by the state, right?
*facepalms*

The idea that our archons have to be these superhuman perfectly 100% clean lambs is a load of crap...

LTH notes that the idea that social animals need a state is a contradiction.

He got this reply:
Quotewe call it a hierarchical structure all social animals have one form of it. And sides there is no true such thing as personal success in our modern world, you drive on public roads funded by the public unless you want to pay a toll to some company for using their roads, you have education unless you want to pay for private and being in a population of uneducated cuts down opportunities for all, there is no escaping that you rely on social systems.
--Some guy talking to Lord T Hawkeye on one of stefbot's videos.

I got to the point where I asked "Food is arguably an even MORE essential service than medicine since you could theoretically never see the  doctor and take your chances but you will definetely die without food.  So, why does nobody object to making profits off food?"

OK, first off, the same way that they get enraged when presumably someone denies you health care because of money, they should be enraged that someone would deny you food because of money too. And the same way they think that health care is essential to human life, therefore it must be free for all, then they must by all means be for socialized food (or whatever you would call it).

Also, we can put out fires and chase criminals by our self too, but i don't think they would like it if I say we don't need police or fire departments.

Also, the same argument could be applied to health care - your body heals naturally, has an immune system build in to it. If you keep your self warm  and safe from health hazards and drink enough tea and eat enough veggies every day, you don't need health care that much.  And yes, you might get cancer or something that can't be prevented by just doing those things, but you could also get a drought too, so why not have socialized food then?

And anyone who says that our means of getting food is nothing more than convenience, I dare him to try to survive by just hunting. Yeah, you can do it, but say hello to constant battle for survival and no time left to do any of the stuff that modern humans do. You might as well just go back to the Xth century.

Being able to get food fast, on the spot,  is more essential to our way of life today than these people think.

I don't know how but it seems liberals have a bad habit of taking a lot of things in life for granted.  That's why they take on this absurd "bash capitalism while reaping the benefits of it and try to stop any progress you can just as long as you can still get lattes" stance.

Worse yet is when you get examples like the quote above of "We care...as long as you believe as we do."

FergTubeAble: "Sad. You don't offer any proof, You are simply trying to insult thru imitaion. Your other videos I have seen offer a rational arguement. This is just sad. Stick with the social ideals. Leave personal choice alone."

Quote@FergTubeAble  Do you really need proof to know that a hell of a lot more people are dying of heart attacks over b12 deficiency

Even giving the benefit of the doubt that what he says is true, that's NOT an argument against eating meat, but rather just not eating ridiculous amounts of meat.

The other was quoted because of the poor spelling and to give context to Jacob's quote.

All from that Ultramediacorp imbecile commenting on Shane's latest video:

Quote@Surhotchaperchlorome If you want to make it a racial question, then yeah we would be just like Kenya is Black and Puerto Rico Brown. Why do you have a problem with that?

Quote@shanedk If the majority is white and you are asking what kind of country we are in a racial context, yeah then we would be white. Or do you think implying a racist component to the argument is gonna scare me into denying what the facts are.

Quote@shanedk They were Deists were they? Gee, you ever read the mayflower compact? You ever read the letters written by George Washington? Just how many signatures on the the founding Documents were those of deists? You care to share the staggering truth with us? Or don't you really know?
*facepalms* The pilgrims did NOT found the USA.  Even *I* know that.

Quote@shanedk Just out of curiosity, what were the Quakers and what was their influence on the founding documents? Think that will give ya some clues
Nor did the Quakers.  And even if they did:  "Regardless of their personal opinions, the founding fathers choose to set up a secular state." --Iron Chariots (NOT a fail quote)

Quote@Elitistb616 No he is completely wrong. The constitution is a contractual agreement and in the very first part of his video he admits the words are not in the Constitution but implies the supposition of a "Concept of said wall being there" when NOTHING like abstract concepts are enforceable moreover he gratuitously adds to the instruction "Congress shall make no laws respecting a religion" is not the intent of any one founder. On the contrary, everyone that signed it in so doing agrees with it

*facepalms* His entire point is a strawman.  As Shane already explained in the very video this bozo is commenting on, you have to go by the meaning of the words as they were used at the time, not founder intent.

I hate to break it to him, but reality doesn't work by majority vote.

Also, his profile:
QuoteMy Mission"

To Destroy, Discredit, Debunk, Disparage the ever lying illusion of evilution. Join me and BigWhammy in exposing the most insidious, insipid, ignorant, idiocy being taught in our public schools today. The fraud, the Hoax's, the Deceptive slippery circular semantics of Atheist speaking out both sides of their filthy foaming mouths. We expose, exploit and extinguish EVERY Atheist / evolutionary ploy with drop dead common sense and scientific facts the old fashioned way and we never lose. I don't care if you're Bitchin Hitchens, Sam The Scam Harrisy, or Dick DoHkins, WE divide and CRUSH the pathetically repugnant pseudo science of evolution leaving the followers of this so called mountain of evidence, choking on the dust of their own regrets.

Evolution is unequivocally the biggest hoax ever perpetrated for the advancement of the religion of Atheism and its NWO agenda
What more need to be said?

Of course, everyone who knows a thing or two about a thing or two know that it was elves.

Taxes and not eating the raw hearts of our vanquished enemies.

And from someone else on that Unification Church video:

"@Surhotchaperchlorome

Sorry to say, but I think that your viewpoint is not in line with God's. You can ask God humbly and gradually find out the spiritual reality, that Rev Moon is the Saviour."--brunoklotz

Sorry, but I'm not a Schizophrenic...

Me:  " Solution: Abolish the war on drugs; legalize ALL drugs, period.
1. But..but..there are GOOD reasons to legalize drugs too! =P"
To which this idiot responded:
Quote@Surhotchaperchlorome What a GREAT solution! Allow everyone to self-medicate into lethargy, and then we will be just another second-rate nation.
--RackedRabbi


Translation: "AHH!!! The sky is falling! The sky is falling!"
"When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world—'No. You move.'"
-Captain America, Amazing Spider-Man 537

He puts such a negative spin on lethargy.

@Gumba Masta:  All the more reason to make his response a fail quote.


"@Surhotchaperchlorome
The historical record would show you that the most paranoid are those in power who plot and scheme to maintain and increase it all cost. History is rife with governmental conspiracies, not a flight of fancy at all." --Some dude on Stefan's video

I was talking about THIS country not "throughout history"; and I figured that was clear based on the context.
