On the war in Syria:

QuoteSeeing things through black and white must be pleasant.

We're effectively trying to perform damage control on a situation that was allowed to escalate thanks to a godawful handling of politics in the region from the previous administration combined with an attempt to prevent Assad from becoming another Saddam, but instead of riding in like cowboys to "liberate the shiat" out of Syria, we're letting them do it themselves with a touch of help here and there.

But I guess by the very simplest and basic definition, "War" could be defined as "violent actions in another country's borders".

So it's not war? It's just "violent actions in another country's borders"?

Then I guess I didn't rob you. I just snuck into your house and stole your stuff when you weren't there.

So as much as I love Menno Henselmans' work, I suppose it was only a matter of time before I found a fail:

"Rights are oppressive by nature. They imply that not being restricted in your actions is somehow something to be thankful for instead of simply the default of a free society."--him on Facebook.  I can't even PARSE that.  Hawkeye notes that he is wordsmithing in this.

Okay, this next one isn't so much a fail, but I'm posting it anyways just because it feels like he kinda missed the point:

In his defense though, if his caffeine and biosignature articles are any indicator, he is most certainly NOT a feminist, and yeah, the picture really could have gone with much more muscular guys to make the point, but yeah...it just felt like half assed/phoned in on both sides to some extent.

To be fair, even if reading that much into that quote is annoying, on face value it is a win, so I don't think less of him for it.  Since, unlike Thunderf00t and C0nc0rdance, at least it's extremely rare for Menno to go out of his field of expertise and post fails on politics/economics/rights theory/etc (I only count the first one above as a fail tbh).

I keep thinking of the Stargate Atlantis episode "The Game": http://stargate.wikia.com/wiki/The_Game

Even with the best of intentions, their meddling escalated quickly!

It shouldn't be at all surprising that an anti-vaccer would make a statement showing complete ignorance of how vaccines and immunity work.

QuoteI vote in the two party system. I feel my vote is wasted if I vote 3rd party.

So, since I am aware that a vote for the lesser of two evils, according to me, how would developing the ideology of a libertarian, Voluntaryist, or Anarchist change anything, or the system?

It seem all it would do is cause me not to vote at all...

You guys need to start a revolution to change anything.... Good luck..


when I posted Shane's video on herd immunity t an anti-vaccer


QuoteI don't believe the video is correct! I only watched 4 minutes of it....it's a catch 22! I believe vaccinated people have weaker immune systems and I also believe they have more diseased bodies because the over use of vaccines weaken your immune system! God gave us an immune system to fight off diseases, the vaccinated are spreading the diseases, I don't believe vaccines are the answer....to many kids have suffered! So the image here is what I was referring to! Daniel do you know the ingredients in one vaccine? did you know they are putting toxic substances in our children and causing neurological problems? I grew up in the 80's, never met not one autistic kid! Today there are thousands of messed up kids because the has been an over use of TOO many vaccines that lots of kids have become extremely ill due multiples! My kids are way more vaccinated than I am....I am healthier than my kids and only had maybe 4 or 5 as a kid....my one kid who is severely autistic had 21 before she was 19 months old, they had mercury in them! My other girl has health problems and is only 26....so read more about multiple vaccines and try to find safety studies to support this and then maybe we can discuss herd immunity! This county is hurting the kids because they are not vaccinating SAFELY!!!

Gotta love the use of words, "believe" if as if this a faith issue.
