John Oliver: Lead

Mookal says...

As Charles De Mar aptly stated in the 1985 film, Better Off Dead -

"Get the lead out. That is all."

Now I'll go back to my lighter fluid eggnog.

How to subdue a machete-wielding man without killing him

newtboy says...

Using that 'logic', does it not make MORE sense then to start by killing all non-mentally ill violent people, because they pose the same threat to others and the same obstacles to success in life (or even more, since medical records are private but criminal records are not) but have NO chance of being 'cured' since they aren't 'sick', while the mentally ill might just need the right dose of medication to be cured?

How might you possibly know the potential rewards of a 'cured' psychotic? Once cured, they have the same opportunities as anyone else with the same skill sets.

And to address something that I tried to ignore from your earlier post, what's your problem with the custodial field? It's a great job with fairly good pay for good honest work, often on a flexible schedule with good benefits. The best job I ever had was as a janitor at a doctors office, I made around $25-$30 an hour (which, where I live, is over double the average pay rate) for a part time job I could do any time between 9pm and 6am, but usually took only 2 hours (4 when I took over a second office). Not only that, it's a necessary position in any business with over 5 people. I don't agree at all with your insinuation that the lives of people with that job are "mediocre" and they are really better off dead, and instead I just find it insulting in the extreme.

I'm not suggesting we kill all mentally ill people. Just the ones that pose a threat to others. Swinging a machete at cops qualifies as posing a threat to others. It's all about risk vs reward. The risks of attempting to cure a violent psychotic outweigh the potential rewards.

Emily's Abortion Video

BoneRemake says...

FUCK THOSE BASTARD FUCKERS, they are better off dead than to have parents that would kill them. Who else would take care of them ? the shitty slut that fucked her way into this position ?? or the sperm Donor who let this Scarlett whore achieve her goal ??

A woman kills her baby and she's a hero? What kind of upside-down world do you live in? Good God.
I like how everyone who supports abortion has had their chance at life.
What a sad state.
This woman will live to regret this horrendous decision.

Our Drone Future

chingalera says...

Poor human judgement in the form of what artician? Not stopping the clusterfuck of surveillance before it effects everything? The self-serving wise judgement of highly intelligent and broken people are considering how to use these to make THEMSELVES safe, not you.... Every man, woman, and child should be taking steps to protect their shit, as always but how do you stop a runaway freight train moving @90+ before you realize yer better off dead?

You can't unless you fight fire with the same at some point and consider every day a blessing.

Matthew Good Band - Last Of The Ghetto Astronauts

Matthew Good Band - Last Of The Ghetto Astronauts

BoneRemake says...

It gets dark around here early Sometimes the moon will follow you in the middle of the day Waiting to be found, we were just standing around With nothing really much to say
I didn't know any better You didn't think that we should Said we're gonna burn down the night I wanna be misunderstood All four wheels across the pavement We used to live in black and white I only think about tomorrow so it'll get me through the night
CHORUS And I ain't laughing and I ain't joking anymore I keep my footsteps to the ground I keep my eyes glued to the floor Somewhere in between only the stunners dream on this side of midnight
And maybe we're just crazy Maybe we're better off dead Maybe things will never change Maybe you've got it backwards in your head The Last of the Ghetto Astronauts won't be ignored Said I'm gonna go where no one has gone before Said I'm gonna go where no one has gone before
It gets dark around here early [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/the-last-of-the-ghetto-astronauts-lyrics-matthew-good-band.html ] Sometimes there's more to the moon then just one man can see The voice without a name cries silent just the same, just the same way If I didn't know any better I'd say that maybe we all should When the morning comes around Don't wanna be misunderstood Sleeping on the pavement thinking everything's all right Waiting for tomorrow to get us through tonight
CHORUS
Been walking with the giants Been sleeping in a town without a name Been holding on to your arms and legs Your arms and legs cause Nobody here wants to put you back together again Together again, together again, together again
And maybe we're just crazy Maybe we're better off dead Maybe things will never change Maybe you've got it backwards in your head The Last of the Ghetto Astronauts won't be ignored Said I'm gonna go where no one has gone before Said I'm gonna go where no one has gone before No one, no one

The morality of Richard Dawkins

shinyblurry says...

What, because it's a "compassionate" murder of infants, it isn't social darwinism? Of course it is. He is still saying that they should be selected to die because of their infirmities, regardless of what the stated motivation is. It is making an arbitrary determination on the value of a life is, and when someone doesnt meet that criteria, that they are better off dead. And that we would be morally justified in murdering them even out of the womb.

It's a good thing these two don't have Dawkins as their Father:

>> ^ChaosEngine:
Ahh yes, there can be no nuance, no context to what anyone says. In this case, clearly Dawkins feels that murdering a child is absolutely fine, and it has nothing whatsoever to do with alleviating the suffering a horrible disease is causing it.
Oh, and as to your video description? Dawkins has stated on many occasions that he does not believe in social darwinism. Troll harder, little fool.

Glenn Beck reveals the NEW enemy: The cast of "Glee"

Yogi says...

Also I'd like to point out that I love Glee's performances and songs. But the writing is just shit. No sense of narrative no sense of holding anything back. Beck was onto something about instant gratification but in a different way. When you have characters they need to act someone like humans instead of Rachel just having like 3 different boyfriends in the FIRST FUCKING SEASON! What kinda story is that bullshit?

Ya know I compare it Buffy the Vampire Slayer...in the first episode of Season 2 there's a tender moment hinting at a budding romance between Willow and Xander. They did that a few times throughout the series but eventually stopped and they become probably the strongest friends of the group and with different separate people. It was an interesting story, that had tension and guessing and teasing in it.

In short Glee is written badly, and if Beck wants to take it down I say go for it. Two guys kissing on television ain't a big deal anymore anyways...Glee is better off dead.

captmorgano says...

>> ^Ryjkyj:

The clips at 1:10 and 2:54 look like they are from either "Ski School" or "Ski Patrol" which were released in 1991 and 1990, respectively. Which means this whole video is a failure. Downvote...


Nope. Those were from "Better Off Dead". Automatic upvote.
