The dark side of the Ice Bucket Challenge

Sweet Celestia, and I thought criticisms of the Ice Bucket Challenge couldn't get any more pants on head retarded! Everyone here has taken the IBC, right? Well, I guess we're all Satan worshipers, now!

Fundies, PLEASE GO AWAY! The 21st century doesn't want you here.

Apparently women and girls who just want to play games and not deal with this bullshit are either sock puppet trolls or the Uncle Toms of feminism.

Stay classy dipshits.

@all three: and how does that compare to government?

"Actually Hitler's Germany takes the cake on fastest-grown economy.  His mass-scale seizure and subsequent privatization of industries (like Volkswagen for example) enabled Germany to go from an economic state comparable to modern-day Zimbabwe to among the imperial giants of western Europe in less than ten years.  If you want the fastest possible economic growth, you should advocate fascism.

Now, just to clarity, I'm not a Nazi.  My point is to illustrate that "economy building" is not intrinsically a good thing.  The economy building of fascist Europe led inevitably to World War 2 and numerous crimes against humanity including the Holocaust and millions of counts of military rape and torture that followed.

To get off the subject and provide a more recent example, the First Gulf War was a huge bonus for a particular portion of the economy:  the oil industry.  Numerous companies, including Shell, Exxon, BP, and Chevron were able to secure huge contracts following the end of Saddam Hussein's control over Kuwait, resulting in major dollars being shipped into the petroleum industry (at the expense of American and IRaqi soldiers who died in the fighting of course).  This created something of an economic boom and overtook more than 25% of the US' imports.  Economy building also leads to massive pollution of air and water sources (most notably in China and India), as well as industrial-scale deforestation, particularly in the Amazon and Congo basins as well as on continental Europe and the Indonesian islands.

Economic growth is not the same thing as human progress, and the corporate megalomaniacs who would have you believe that are the ones who are going to drag us all into societal collapse with them."--Atamolos, on this:  http://balddog4.deviantart.com/art/Capitalism-341233569

Do the words, [Citation Needed] mean anything to this pillock?

Not to mention the reason the economy did 'increase' or grow under his system was not 'because socialism/Nazism can work to grow an economy' but because they were literally at the fucking bottom before then (hyperinflation from the Treaty of Versailes a decade or two ago) and would have grown regardless.  It's like the shit for brains who look at China and say, "See? Restriction of economy/socialism/Fascism CAN WORK!" (well, unless they're talking about something they don't like, and it magically becomes capitalism...but whatevs). Um, yeah, and how much economic freedom did they have BEFORE that?  Pillocks.

1) Funny how that happens when you pay banks not to loan out money and keep it all in a closed loop between them and the Treasury...

2) And the population increased by twice that amount.

3) Learn the difference between "deficit" and "debt," people. And while you're at it, learn the difference between "fell by 50%" and "only rose 50% as much."

4) Why 16 cities? Cherry-picking, much? And how are you counting all the people who lost their insurance entirely?

5) Source? And how does that source refute the known evidence?

6) By not anywhere NEAR an equal amount. Also, those investigations rarely targeted an audit when compared to conservative and pro-Israel groups. Really, this is like Holocaust deniers saying that Hitler sent non-Jews to the concentration camps, too, therefore Jews weren't targeted!

Also, 4 - Did you hire Sylvia Browne to tell you what happened in these 16 cities to tell you what happened next year?

I'd call BS on #2 just for the vagueness of "saved or created." Wasn't Obama making the same declaration back when unemployment hit double digits?

And of course, as we all know, it's JUST Obama and republicans right? There's been no other political philosophies ever, amirite? This is just more tribal thinking, Obama and the democrats are the "we" and everyone else is the "not we".
