    Be nice to the new people

    Or you can do what you've been doing for years and insult and berate anyone who isn't 100% anarchist with ad hominem bullsh#t.

    Am I the radical or is my professor?

    I didn't mention Locke in the "same sentence", there are 3 fucking paragraphs between my mentioning Locke, and my points about modern conceptions of property. I don't have to defend myself, when you fail to even bring up any specific objections to what I wrote. And if you don't think he was...

    Am I the radical or is my professor?

    AED, really? Could you be a more condescending douchebag? Calling me a liar in saying I've never read Locke (or anyone). Accussing me of making nothing but straw man arguments. To what? I wasn't arguing with anyone. I pointed out a real example that questions the nature of location based...

    Am I the radical or is my professor?

    I've taken Poli Theory, and Philosophy, both covered Locke. I actually had much more appreciation for my Philosophy teacher who challenged and criticized every philosopher we covered. I too was alone in defending property rights, but the way he challenged me made me appreciate the course, and...

    Dugway Proving Ground (Army Base) in Utah LOCKED DOWN over "serious concern"

    Here's to hoping whatever comes out doesn't head immediately to California like in most of those apocalyptic scenarios. Or that at least Nevada will prove a good buffer, seeing as how it's hundreds of miles of empty desert. As soon as I hear an offhanded remark on the news with a General...

    Kids, not adults [or the fed,] have the power to end bullying

    Ok, but the bullying issue is primarily psychological/verbal. The pretty girls ripping out the hearts of boys and "ugly" girls, what's a Angel going to do, hack her Facebook?

    70% of college students admit to cheating

    You got your worthless degree, it gets you a job. Getting a job isn't a right, or even a gift. If you can do a job well, it shouldn't matter if you have a degree. But it does. Eventually, if enough people scam a degree, you'll need a Masters, which I think is the point we're at now. If it...

    What heart stopping burger concoction is Number One!

    My local In-n-Out stopped letting people order over 4X4. But they have the "flying duchman" Atkins friendly lettuce wrapped patties that can be slipped in. It's funny how much negative attention the Double Down got, it's mostly just two pieces of chicken. I'd like to try that pizza burger.

    [Jan 26]: Ron Paul reintroduced Audit the Fed bill today (H.R. 459)

    This is great news. Nancy and Bernie blocked Ron long enough to sell his bill out last time. Obviously Pelosi can't stop it this time, if it receives enough co-sponsors. What about sub-committee and committee, have those changed? Do you think the crying orange man would put it in the floor...

    Hawaii official now swears: No Obama birth certificate

    Holy shit, someone replied to me without calling me a troll just because they disagree with me!!!! Stop the presses! Someone didn't give me -Rep even though they think I'm wrong!!! Havness, I'm actually in the middle on this issue, which is exactly why I thought it was funny looking at both...

    Why do we need guns?...

    I was considering putting "With nothing but love to AF" at the end of that rant. Oh and I already warned you Led that you were being a troll. Not in your opinion, but in repetition, *Open thread about revolvers* (first reply by Led) 'As long as you have a license.' *Facepalm*. - Inspired by a...

    Why do we need guns?...

    I agree with Red Led Hed, this whole rep system is bogus, people give Pos Rep to those who make inane 'preach to the choir' comments, and neg rep to anyone who dares argue an unpopular opinion. I would hope the system were different, but we can clearly see it's not. "This is why we need to...

    Lawsuit filed in beef over Taco Bell 'meat'

    Yes sir the Jack in Box taco's best angle is in the stomach. Still 2 for .99. I am actually disappointed by Taco Bell on this. I'm disappointed that their beef isn't beef, and I'm double disappointed that their reaponse seems to be "deal with it". It's bad enough that it's 70% filler, but that...

    Ayn Rand collected Social Security

    If you'd read Atlas Shrugged you wouldn't call her a hypocrite. She promoted getting back from the government what was stolen. You are the hypocrite. I also don't understand what kind of person you are that you think you can just post little snippets attacking a woman who's been dead 28 years...

    Should Rep. Giffords be replaced?

    From what I've read, she has yet to even utter 1 coherent word. There is a drastic contrast from what appears in written news, and what the tv says about her. If TV version is true, she'll be cool in a couple months, back in the game. If written news is accurate, she will be lucky if she ever...
