I'm not saying these people should get the death penalty, but maybe they should get 5 minutes in the cage with Ronda Rousey- no rules, no limits, no tap-outs.
(Running Man lite)

Any person who believes in or supports a system where you pay far more for a far inferior product is a moron. End of story. People can wave the catchphrases around as much as they like, but that is fucking stupidity. In which case, "socialism" is the opposite of stupidity, even in socialist lite countries like Australia.

My father in law is having 2 femoral bypass surgeries in the next 2 months. Completely free, air conditioned 2 bed room, free medication (oxycodone for the win), free at home post op care visits, very little waiting (isn't an emergency but is urgent enough to not be considered elective). Great surgeons and other staff. Food still sucks (it's a hospital of course), but if that's the worst complaint that can be made about the system that costs 7% less of GDP than the US and freely hands out so very much more, I know what I would choose...

BK33, does your sister receive free or reduced cost care under medicare? If so, the system has worked for her. She can now put those premiums towards other costs, or savings for retirement or w/e she wants to. It might not be optimal, but it's a far sight better than close to 20k a year...

I forgot about those.

Very pretty.

Next do Lite Brite.

In other words, you're just a troll. And yeah, that's not really shocking news to me or anyone else at this point. The thing is though, you want to be taken seriously, or you wouldn't put so much effort and time into it.

Unfortunately you're just really not very good at it. You're sort of a "blankfist lite". Basically all troll without the interesting and original bits.

Without rehashing the circumcision debate all over again, that was an oddly one-sided clip with lots of refutable claims and information. Probably not what they want since their whole selling point is to be a trustworthy source of science-lite.

I laugh . . . only because this has happened. The ordering Bud Lite at a craft brew pub. The barista's reaction was just blank shock and the guy sitting next to me looked at the would be beer drinker and said: "You're in the wrong place for that." The guy then asked if they served pitchers . . . at which point everyone at the bar was staring at him. The barista, with a completely flat expression: "No." I think she ended up giving him the cheapest light lager they had.

Asked the same questions last lite...thinking it may be some ballistic charge to free that projectile from the casing we're seeing flying-off of it before it becomes simply that sonic missile of doom...But wtf is that cat loading into the back of the thing prior to firing is my quandary...doesn't really look anything like the fired projectile.

Idk. Phelps et al took homophobia to a whole new level. It's easy to rail against such a comic book villain. Disagreeing with Phelps, even on his stance on homosexuality, doesn't necessarily mean you still don't have a mostly negative attitude towards homosexuality. I'm thinking of the "hate the sin, love the sinner" crowd. I think Huckabee and his ilk fit into this sort of "homophobia lite". They dress their bigotry up in platitudes and are likely to find support from some or the same people who might have decried Phelps. One might look towards Russia in the run up to Sochi. There you see the same sort of stance, where they enact policy that strips gays of their rights whilst insisting that its not borne of homophobia and is merely to protect children from paedophiles. I do not doubt their sincerity in this belief - most homophobes don't identify themselves as homophobes.

Ultimately I think these extreme undiluted views create an illusion of overwhelming support for gay rights. Perhaps the publicity raised a debate about homosexuality/phobia, but that debate still had to be fought and won by gay rights activists, not through us all uniting against a sort of shill.

I certainly hope things continue the way they have been. Still, there are parts of the world which seem to be regressing in this regard (see Russia again -.-). I have a feeling that rallying against any minority group is always going to be an effective political tactic, especially if it's done under the guise of protecting children from sexual abuse or preserving "family values".

These aren't even cloaked ad-homs dude, and now you are talking about my mother indirectly?? What IS your problem beyond what you've already shared with the entire site-Your continued personal attacks speak tomes as well as being flagrant violations of sift-decorum.

Chinga-tu madre TRANSLATION (for anyone who does not speak Spanish): 'Fuck your mother', as opposed to 'motherfucker'

Then, as you laugh at your own clever pun, you brag about your sex-life in the most douchiest of a manner. WTF is wrong with you son? Did I indirectly tell you to fuck off??

Do you troll You Tube as well with a view to one-upping people?

Really not getting your meltdown any longer man-Please, leave the full-fledged direct attacks at myself alone sir. You are sadly mistaken if you think this is your version of what my intent is as a user here.

To the sift: This guy is sending me personal messages, posting my private messages (by copying them and rendering them public), and has promised to and is initiating a unilateral scheme of what amounts to basically spamming comments on about every post I chose to comment on.

Stalker or off-the-chain, I can't figure it nor do I want to. I do think the sift community should chime-in, I told this person I was no longer willing to engage him personally, and have been through this before in the past with other similar dysfunctionals on this site...Refuse to be a victim of the same bullshit again.

I'm harsh sometimes. I tend to lite-upon formulaic posts and diatribes. I no longer from lessons learned from past experience, directly attack personally any users nor do I wish to suffer the consequences of doing so, as I appreciate having been welcomed-back.

If this is you being yourself newtboy, it's not your best foot forward, it's a foot directed up my ass, and I am offended.

Is that plain English enough for you, because I have as strong or stronger a will to take anything you might want to add publicly?

As a Seattle-lite, I say this from the bottom of my heart:

FUCK. THE. SEAHAWKS.

Thank you.

wait...
are you guys all jumping on @Mordhaus for claiming he is an agnostic?
what... his version of atheist-lite rubbing your guys crotch hairs the wrong way?

man,thats fucking rich.

guess even atheists have their gospel to preach.
are you all trying to save @Mordhaus's non-existent soul?

i guess im just trying to understand the motivation here,or why ya'all even care WHAT mordie chooses to define himself as.

@bobknight33

your comment has to be the most factually challenged comment i have seen you post in a very long time my friend.

i do not know who or what you derive your information from or what shapes your political ideology,but whatever that vehicle is,you need to stop and turn to a different source.

the true republican party has been hijacked by venal and extreme ideologues.the blame can be laid at those very same republicans who sought to harness the political power of the evangelical right in the late 70's and the tea party in the early 2000's.both groups being of a populist flavor but in reality are militant in their execution.

to call them democrat lite or even remotely liberal is just staggeringly ignorant.

they are extremist and with that extreme politics comes the opportunist:sarah palin
and the downright stupid:louis goehmert (sp?)

and the real republicans are drowned in a sea of mediocrity or downright crazy.

and those republicans are paying the price for making a deal with the devil,because the devil has taken the steering wheel and left any true republican without a voice.

Republicans lost because they run as Democrat Lite. You can't beat liberals by being a poor intimation.

You can and do pass laws and don't fund them.

It is a TAX. That"s the only way it was passed through the Supreme Court.

Moyers is such Bullshit.

McCain is part of the Democratic Lite party. The Democrat Lite party will never beat the real thing. Hilliary can easily win next round.

Being said, I do believe that it is time for McCain to be replaced.
And that the guy giving the speech gets 2 thumbs up.

That's funny I just came across this story a few days back. NBC covered it.

Also to his "We have 6 times more large metropolitan areas than England and Wales" point. That is just about what you would expect given that have close to 6 times their population.

US : 314 Million, England & Wales : 56 Million
