Yes, I'm "enraged" at your comment. Good call.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 01:20 PM) You're just cherrypicking because my argument made you uncomfortable. I know you dont actually believe the industrialized slaughter of 50 million people in a 6 year span is preferable to one girl being date-raped. But you are proving my point for me. Addicted to outrage, the truth hurts so you run behind your state-deity hoping to be shielded. I'm cherrypicking because I don't take you seriously, not because you are making me "uncomfortable." Not sure where you're seeing outrage, though, or running behind a "state-deity." It's mostly just laughing at this thread as a microcosm of why reactionary conservatism is so terrible.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 01:18 PM) Yes, you are so ignorant. Just look at his point and try to not argue about his choice of material to compare. You know what he meant, you are just being a dick in arguing that point. I'm glad that the stopping of the Nazis means nothing to you. Those who ignore history are doomed to repeat it. lol, we go from unsolicited and irrelevant "rape isn't as bad as WWII!" to "you don't care about stopping the Nazis!"

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 01:02 PM) If you're scared of bridges, make an effort to never go over them unless you absolutely have to. Seems like a stupid idea though doesn't it? Yes, that seems like a monumentally stupid idea compared to having engineering and design standards so that people don't have to evaluate the structural integrity of every bridge they cross.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 01:05 PM) Compared to WW2, it IS minimal. It's called a comparison. I know you know what that is, you just like ignoring things that make your point harder to get across. It was brought up out of the blue. Nobody had any point about rape until Duke started telling us how it isn't that serious.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 12:51 PM) ... and the saddest part: If you actually try to put s*** in perspective you're suddenly an advocate of whatever bad thing it was that tried to put into perspective. Keep minimizing rape! Which I have no idea why you even brought up in the first place.

QUOTE (YASNY @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 02:34 AM) Just this week, two little 6 year old boys were suspended from school for playing cops and robbers by simulating guns with their hands and yelling "Pow!". What happened to letting little boys actually be little boys? btw, just this week this didn't actually happen: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/educat...4efc_story.html This happened about a week after Sandy, not "just this week," it was one boy, and he was suspended after he was told not to do that anymore.

let's stop pretending that we need to even entertain the idea of widespread open, armed insurrection in this country as a legitimate thing

According to what one nbc anchor said a month ago. Great journalism!

good, smash gender norms good, smash patriarchy.

QUOTE (Tex @ Jan 19, 2013 -> 07:51 AM) The two income point is interesting. When we see jobs that do allow for a woman to stay home, say being an autoworker in Detroit or a school teacher in Chicago we complain they are earning too much. When there is talk about raising the minimum wage, it's too damn much. Then was applaud and present as successful the investors that buy companies to move the jobs overseas. See the profits they made for their investors! I am still laughing my ass off at the school comment. And YAS, when the military takes over, do you think the President will be a Dem or a Rep? wages have been stagnant for decades while the COL hasn't, that's one major reason for two-income households.

lol edit: meant for OP, not tex. there is so much garbage in the op it's hard to know where to start deconstructing it.

that's cool, carter didn't say anything about the holocaust. he actually said "currently in the world" or something to that effect. like I said, unhinged. just throwin' that out there.

That's great, you still dragged the holocaust into this for some dumb reason.

No I think he's confused because you say Carter has said the blockade is "one of" the greatest human rights tragedies on earth (right now? ever?) and therefore Carter must think the Holocaust is a speed-bump. Unless you were going for self-parody there, it kinda signals that your argument is pretty unhinged.

lousy egg-laying bastards

If you're asked about it, you're going to have to bulls*** something.

f***ING CHEATING COMPUTER

It was part of a sentence talking about under-funding infrastructure nationally. Most of that post was about infrastructure, not education.

I didn't say they were? But if we're going to talk about Texas' amazing budget surplus, we should look at how they got there and what the effects of those policy choices are.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 18, 2013 -> 08:29 AM) We also require the education of everyone, and then compare it to the rest of the world who doesn't. I meant compared to other states. Tex is right that there are compounding factors, though.
