Is this image meant to be a troll? If so, then it's a really bad troll. I give it a 1/10.

What the fuck am I even looking at? I'll only give it a 1/10 because it got me to respond.

-5/10.

That Ryan Steinbruner character is the epitome of everything that's wrong with state worship. Who wants to bet he'd NEVER accept that exact same reasoning from a religious fundamentalist?

He actually voted for Ron Paul, So, I don't know how that works.

Yet he doesn't seem to want to call Obama (his lord and savior no doubt) out on this crap...lemme guess.  "BUT BUSH!"

He doesn't like Obama, but does say he's better than Bush.

Gog, you could make a small Fail Topic out of this article.

Just to stroke my own ego, I do recall pointing out the fail on one of those graphs before...

From Bloomberg: American Gun Deaths to Exceed Traffic Fatalities by 2015. And before I even started reading, I noticed this little spin:



Notice the long-term trends. It's sad when your fail gets picked up before you say a single word.

Yep, there it is.

Here are couple of my favorites

In the U.K., handguns are illegal and a person needs to get a certificate — and prove they have a good reason — to own a rifle or shotgun. Anyone convicted of a crime cannot touch a gun for 5 years. There are 0.07 gun homicides per every 100,000 people.

Their overall homicide rate is 1.2 according to the UNODC Homicide per 100000

Also look at the rates prior to gun control.

In Japan, touching a gun without a license can result in 10 years in prison. To obtain a rifle or shotgun, a citizen must undergo an exhaustive application process involving several exams, health tests, police authorization, background checks, and the installation of a safe. There are 122 million people in Japan. In 2008, there were 11 gun homicides. In 2006 there were 2.

You could argue that this is a Fav quote because it shows the idea that prayer is bullshit when it comes to medicine, but at the same time it just comes off as downright spiteful and even hateful. Any doctor that would do this would be just as horrible of a person as the family that decides to not treat their sick family members with medicine but with prayer. I just don't think this kind of spiteful line of thinking is how we should conduct ourselves, especially when trying to convince others of our position.

If results are your goal, it's much more productive to say something like "God is keeping you alive by having you treated with medicine" or if they say "I hope God provides a miracle..." tell them, "He did, his name is Dr. (Whatever it happens to be)".

You can argue about the rest of it later, when they're not sick, or injured, or in crises.

Ilove the logic logic: It's OK if people are dead, if animals live...

but people are animals. are they therefore saying that it is OK to kills animals if animals live? OK, lemme grab that knife: I'll slit the throat of every swine I find.

The logic in this reminds me of a fav qoute of mine

"Kill the spiders and save the butterflies... it's rational until you realize that by striving for it, you become a spider yourself."
