But they didn't really act all that crazy. They just let the freaky make-up do it for them. I would have been babbling all kinds of crazy bs while dancing a little jig or something...
The cop one was a little bit better, but still it was all a little tame on the crazy.

So we just get mad at one cop, once per week, when they get caught on video? No further comment is warranted on the police culture which allows this to happen? Which then accounts for multitudes of unreported incidents which aren't captured on video? The commentary on this site seems like a perfectly reasonable response to me. Maybe a little on the tame side.

EDIT: Uhm, ignoring @artician of course. I don't think anyone believes that.

So...are we talking about Swan monogamy or situational or temporary monogamy? Because last time I checked the majority of Americans or others haven't had just one partner. Nor, even if they have, do they keep those "feelings" of relationship to one individual (Such as that soulmate feeling, sex-free.)

You could argue that boning, fucking, sucking, dating people until you decide it is convenient to settle down is monogamy, and that's fine. Well, right until most people leave/cheat/explore. Then they gotta get back into the routine eventually, because you know it's so natural...

You are born human, sexual, primal, and society tames you. You are born uncircumcised, and who tells you it is wrong? Religious freaks. Who tells you missionary is right, and sex is for procreation? Society. Basically, anything that Rome and Greece did, after they committed atrocities around the world, is now considered wrong. Orgies, emperors, GAY SEX, etc. Coincidence? Probably not.

Tell me Chaos, who did tell you polyamory was "learned"? Biologists? Or society? Or some crappy half-witted data that just says so?

No, devil's advocate here is the same, to me, as devil's advocate against homosexuals.

At least that's my heartfelt belief. I was once wholly monogamous, even turned down a threesome with my first girlfriend. Then I realized that marriage was based on ownership, a very human trait, but monogamy is inconvenient for damn near everyone who practices it.

Really, board suppression? What? How? By whom?
Since the original (unsuccessful) attempted ban, there's been little but outrageous levels of support and welcome with only one negative comment about the video and even they didn't downvote (and a few tame jokes about the oddly large number of repeated promotions) ....and it's in the top 15!
What on earth are you talking about...again?

Your video, Tame squirrel, man's best friend., has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

This makes Jennifer Lawrence's story about peeing the bed seem pretty tame. Is this the newest form of competition for celebrities, trying to see who was the biggest freak as a child?

Eaten Alive?!? Wild 25 foot Anaconda?!? What BS. Turns out they couldn't find a 25 foot wild anaconda, so they used a 20 foot tame/captive one. Also, more like hugged alive. No part of him was eaten.
I call shenanigans! Everybody grab a broom!

Bats, Sparrows, Robins, Rats, Mice... all have been... removed... from my house at one time or another.

I gotta tell ya. I would try to tame that little wide-eyed killing machine. It would at least get to know it could come over for a free meal any time it wanted.

That's fabulous. We bought three wonderful female gerbils last November. They were about 8 weeks old. We only wanted two, but there were three in the cage at the pet shop and I told my husband that it would be cruel to leave one behind. They are delightful little critters. I grew up with pet rats, and domestic rats are somewhat more personable, well, a lot. But, we were given an unused Habitrail system that would have been too small for rats. So, Gerbils! (Sorry, in my experience (I worked in a pet store for a while) hamsters are solitary, territorial and tend to bite.) I was immediately impressed by how naturally friendly they are. In the gerbil manual we bought with them, it talked about taming them. These little girls were like, "Hey, who are you? Can I climb on you?"

@enoch

I'd agree Friedman wasn't directly responsible, but served more as an academic influence and a proponent of a particular approach because many of the Chilean economists who influenced policy had studies in Chicago.

As far as exploiting a crisis, arguably the crisis itself warranted dramatic action. High levels of inflation caused by Allende's money printing to support wholesale nationalisation of industries pretty much required this.

As inflation is self perpetuation by its continuous expectation and can continue even after the original stimulus is gone, there was little choice here. After all it took Volker nearly half a decade of high interest rates to tame it in the US in the early 80s, to do that after an economic and political crisis in a undeveloped country was an entirely different scale of difficult.

Successive governments likely reversed some of the economic policies enacted under his regime, but the foundation I meant was particularly the budgetary position, free trade, and a competitive cadre of private sector exporters. The welfare, health and educational spending were all made possible by this. Without a credible tax base, trying to enact spending on this level while also raising the tax rises would have just precipitated another crisis.

Coming back to inflation and economics, I believe policies against inflation especially, are generally misunderstood in the short term and their benefits unrecognised in the long term. I would probably say the reverse of what you said, economic policy rarely shows tangible results in the short term but almost always in the long term.

It's certainly not perfect. After all economics has the unfavourable position of being the combination of social science, lacking the ability to test results in clinical conditions isolating a single factor and yet requiring highly specific answers to solve its questions. At its best, it offers answers based on the cumulative knowledge accrued from iterative policies, at each point being based on the 'best available knowledge at the time'.

But it has worked, as I like to often mention, with independent central banks, essentially the most technocratic and pure application of economic theory, inflation has become a thing of the past in those countries that have adopted it.

Then again I'm biased as I majored in it at uni

This is neither batshit insane, nor "Dark". It is tame BUT highly amusing. The boy is a biscuit, for crying out loud -- an immortal biscuit repairable by his parents via baking him a new head. Hansel and Gretel were COOKED ALIVE IN AN OVEN.

This is where I differ with my fellow liberal: The slippery slope of fearmongering via weak stomached nannysaucing.

Come on! Mother Goose is freakier than this pleasant ditty!!

He doesn't have a hoody, so he's obviously tame.
