butthole. puckered.

I replied generically on the video, but as a reply to anything regarding cap & trade this reasoning doesn't track. Maybe it would sorta be appropriate as a response if what cap & trade consisted of was a flat tax on gasoline.

I'm also for repealing the subsidization of all dirty energy -- and the entire environmental movement would likely agree with me on that (even alleged fraud Al Gore!).

So here's the only real connection. In both cases we're talking about market externalities -- cases where market transactions between two entities cause harm (or benefit) to people not involved in the transaction. This is never desirable; you want prices to reflect the harm or benefit you're causing those other people, otherwise you open yourself up to malinvestment's ugly stepsister, malconsumption (and yes, I made that word up, but it is just like that other made-up Austrian word, only regarding consumption instead of investment).

One highly-regarded way to bring externalities under the auspices of market forces is to use Pigouvian taxes. Sometimes you get some centrally-planned tax rate (like all flat sin taxes), but ideally you want some sort of market-driven mechanism setting the size of the Pigouvian tax -- which is what cap and trade is all about.

Anyways, I'm just leading you to water (100% piss-free!), I don't really have much hope you'll drink.

Are you going to take a dump straight into the container, or pull a fresh loaf from the toilet and place it in the Rubbermaid? These are the questions that are pertinent to any good conversation. Also, I want to make a retard baby with you.

CRIKEY, I've stuck my paw in his butthole and now he's REALLY PISSED AT ME!!!

My title: "Boobs used as flotation device, saves girl" Also, since she didn't land on her ass, I wouldn't use "sore butthole" in the tags, although I get what you're getting at.

or maybe "Some chick with huge rack fails at physics" but that would just be to get the femme-nazis to cry foul.

Thank ya, squire!

this reminded me how much being proposed to sucks. SUCKS. but i said yeah anyway.
it's a lot of pressure and retardedness, i think it's a conclusion best come to mutually after years of agonizing cluelessness and unsurety about how to proceed with your life plans and whether or not who ever the fuck should be included in them.
but then again, i always ruin potentially romantic moments by burping, or talking about buttholes.

Yay! The second beautiful butthole to get his promotion today!

Major congrats, brother! Keep it up!

Congrats, you beautiful butthole.

Keep it up, mi amigo. The bling is lookin' good on you.

Actually, there's a strict dog curb law here in LA that a large group of assholes refuse to follow. I think that poop trap thing could come in handy out here to give these self-important LA-princesses and LA-douchebags the impression they're egos aren't being damaged by not cleaning up shit after a dog.

Strapping a ziploc behind a dog's butthole? I think it's an awesome idea!

I heard "Fuck QM"... but it was me saying it.

Why do you hate the letter M so much! Fk you, M!"

I also heard that Budzos is worth 1000000000 QM's.

Is this more Ca$h for Clunker$ propaganda?

I also heard QM called someone a spook but managed to explain it away, yet Westy was hobbled for making a tongue in cheek comment.

QM cut-n-pasted a quote from a popular movie, in response to an individual who was going out of his way to act like a butthole. End of story.

I also heard that you'll find QM never makes a real suggestion as to a solution, but runs around downvoting things which aren't even anything but news reports, like Obama's public address statements.

Well, while we're all here, I'm curious as to why you have nothing better to do but downvote my comments, VL--not sifts, but comments--on my own little nook that I force no one to read. I'm just kidding, I know why. You're on a crusade.

I gots plenty of 'open-ended' solutions tailored for anyone, and no one to listen. I admit it gets rather tedious, even to type it: 99 out of 100 times, don't trust the government to solve your problems, take responsibility, read history, let the peeps who make the $$$ keep most of it, read, America First. But they'll be none of that, eh? Because the world is an UNJUST place and someone's gotta DO something! As the Africans say, 'A fool tests the water with both feet'. Maybe you shouldn't pour that gasoline on the fire, even though it qualifies as TAKING IMMEDIATE ACTION.

I also heard "Fuck QM" somewhere. Oh yea, earlier.

Take that, M! And no, I don't hate you, VL. Never have. You go on doing what you feel is right, even if it's left.

Don't know budzos. Had nothing to do with hobbling him. He got angry, which happens. Or he's one of these paid shills for the insurance companies, sent to disrupt VS town meetings.

Jigga J. is one of my most loyal...opponents. He doesn't like what I have to say, yet here he is. If you can't respect me or my foolishness, don't diss him for being tolerant. The only mistake he made in opening the door to this inquiry is now everyone has to suffer more blankfist comments.
