"When all else fails, do the experiment."--My Physics Professor
"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

"The evolutionary model says that 1+1=2, and yet there are proofs on YouTube that show how 1+1=0 using the evolutionary concept of the Sqrt(-1). I mean the truth of evolution proves how false it is. How can we even be sure that Sqrt(-1) = i ? Therefore, since 1+1=2=0, god created all the plants and animals and all of their disturbing genetic defects. And, yes, god created the genetic defects for a reason too. I mean, look at how bad he fucked up his math." --MultiPaulinator, on this video

Nice.
Reminds me of the people who use Epimenides Paradox/Dilemma to show that logic is false/flawed/human/whatever.

"@Leiwaena Eye for an eye is a throwback to our more primitive times and the more we can learn to control such urges, the better. When men do wrong, compensating the victims of such wrongs should be first priority and right now, it's not even an afterthought and I think that's very tragic.

The real one to be angry at is governments. They are the ones who mastermind all these attrocities. The soldiers who do them are just the poor slobs indoctrinated into it."--Lord T Hawkeye, in the comments, obviously.

Here's a tidbit that's more or less the basis of most, if not all governments these days, if not eternally:

"Money talks, bullshit walks."
"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.'"

"It is even more astounding that the pencil was ever produced. No one sitting in a central office gave orders to these thousands of people. No military police enforced the orders that were not given. These people live in many lands, speak different languages, practice different religions, may even hate one another—yet none of these differences prevented them from cooperating to produce a pencil. How did it happen? Adam Smith gave us the answer two hundred years ago."--Milton Friedman, afterword of "I, Pencil"

It goes without saying that "I, Pencil" is also a huge win.

"The Constitution has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist."--Lysander Spooner

A couple good ones from my namesake:

"A man is what he is, Bob, and there's no breaking the mold. I tried that and I've lost."

"A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that."

From Jack Schaefer's Novel "Shane," spoken by the titular character.

(7:48:21 AM):     Oy, spoony can't get legit acting jobs because the talent agencies say he doesn't have enough experience.
(7:48:49 AM):     woo, hollywood, you wonder why you're pissing away into obsolescence, it's because you set up a dynasty and you're full of shit.
Lord T Hawkeye 7:48 am
(7:48:56 AM):     indeed
(7:49:04 AM):     like to pretend the internet doesn't exist
(7:50:05 AM):     This is the REAL reason why they keep trying to censor the net.  It's not because piracy is killing them because it isn't
Lord T Hawkeye 7:50 am
(7:50:26 AM):     It's because the internet lets amateurs compete on an even level with the established and that pisses them off
Wraithkun 7:50 am

Lord T Hawkeye 7:51 am

Wraithkun 7:51 am
(7:51:31 AM):     hollywood wishes that it were the 1900s again and they could charge people to watch a five-second video of a guy doing a backflip.
Wraithkun 7:52 am
(7:52:34 AM):     and the reviews say "Like magic, the picture-man moves!"
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"
