laws are supposed to based on unalienable human rights. that is the ONLY legitimate basis for a system of law.


The word republic comes form the word res publica which means a public matter, in political science a republic refers always to a state where power is given via consent by the people governed. Nowhere does it say that a republic comes with laws that come from unalienable human rights. This is simply a system of government over a populace.

If the people governed choose to have slavery, no womens rights and abolition of gay rights this is what the republic would have as laws. Changes with regards to these come from social change as a whole, as people realize that oppression by color by sex and by sexual preference is not right or inhumane and so on.

The modern world is not wrong, it is simply the result of recursive adjustments to how society changes its views over the course of history. In the 20th Century we gained womans right to vote, civil liberties and this all culminated in an election where a woman and black man ran for President. Obama became president. That's in a span of less then 50 years since the civil rights movement.

You are basically saying that we should have imposed laws. I agree that the Bill of Rights is a great Law to impose unequivocally. But this never happens in separation, it always leaves room for new laws that simply tools of oppression. That's why checks and balances exit.

That's why the US is constitutional republic, "in which majority rule is tempered by minority rights protected by law."

Wow. It's like a recursive arrest scenario.

This cop won't stop until the whole damn county is in lockup.

"Who are you talking to? Give me the phone! 'Whoever you are, you're under arrest.' There."

Fuck, god doesn't give a shit about this planet.

He is like that contractor you hired to make your database, every time you ask for maintenance he says "I created it... now you deal with it."

He is probably trying to fix that recursion loop that is broken over in the rings of Uranus.

If we keep sending him emails (prayers) to his help desk.. he may as well just wipe the earths C: Drive.

That's why, its an explanation for division by zero. If something has infinite answers.. it cant be answered because nothing can calculate infinity.


It causes computers to break, Ive tried to make a computer get me a bunch of pi digits.... it didn't turn out good. The computer instantly starts running hot, because it instantly reaches infinite recursion.

The recursive catalog melted my brain.

Ha! I meant only to kid about the audience not knowing the difference between a dictionary and an encyclopedia. I fear on the line between humor and tragic reality, I have treaded too close to the latter.

Network News: is the dumb content created to cater to the dumb audience, or is the dumb audience the result of the dumb content?

Both. And it's a recursive race-to-the-bottom if you try to oversimplify things so much that 99% of the audience can understand it without even bothering to look up a word up in a dictionary.

recursive irony always gets an upvote

Firebug sees no error, but when it freezes if I pull up the js debugger I see that it has timed out on line 465 of script.js.

Firebug seems to be indicating that the script has been calling loadevents recursively (I count 6 recursive calls until it runs out of space to display, and can't see what was called next), I presume this is the problem. I have not used firebug for debugging js before, and so I may be reading its output incorrectly. I am assuming recursive calls because it shows "getElementsBySelection < Rounded < Nifty < NiftyLoad the first loadevents is stopped at line 181, all the others seem to call the next on line 180.

I disabled all my plugins except flashplayer and firebug, and I still have the problem, so flashblock, and my many other plugins are not involved.

Let me know if any of the current state info is of use in tracking this down. It is unfortunately very easy for me to replicate the problem.

this guy... talking about brainwashing.... recursive

Weird video. I really do not understand why any one would thank any one, real or not, for a raping!

THE LOGIC DOES NOT COMPUTE!

256 LINES OF RECURSION HAVE OCCURRED IN THIS APPLICATION. THIS APPLICATION WILL NOW CLOSE.

One more buglet: go to a top video page, such as: http://www.videosift.com/topstories.php?page=8&range=3

Click "tell me about videosift"

You'll get a recursive link back to the same page you're already on instead of the about page.
