Sorry, I re-read your comment.
My lack of reading comprehension is at fault.
Never mind.

Hey, it's the "mother-fucking snakes on a mother-fucking plane" guy!
Sorry, I just don't think this will register. Seems so contrived to me, although I'm probably not the target audience.

Where's the exclamation of "what the fuck!"? The guy doesn't react at all...

Love the idiot who starts giving Alec a definition of what the federal reserve is, right after he's clearly demonstrated he knows exactly what the fed is. And the guy doesn't stop after Alec tells him once "I know what the fed is, what I don't know is how shutting down the fed affects capital markets in this country" ... the annoying idiot with a mic just goes back into his goddamn narcissistic routine of explaining it. I think it's the same guy at the end trying to cram his worldview into a new binary paradigm (asking him to "endorse ending the fed" even though Alec has just stated three times he doesn't see why it'd be a good thing... asking him to confirm support for Ron Paul, which is kind of an obnoxious question if you're talking to Alec Baldwin). FUCK THAT GUY.

I'm sympathetic but I think many many of the actual OWS protesters are, at best, little wannabe dictators. And: Grassroots movement, MY DICK.

Orwell wrote about the perils of Stalinism in 1984. If the printing press hadn't been invented when he wrote, he would have been a philosopher in the forum.
And children should be monitored by their parents until their old enough to vote.
Fuck this guy for using Orwell to make a buck.

The ladies must be all over you.

It's a good thing you have that marked as sarcastic, because you sure as fuck weren't just saying it to "help" someone. You give someone harsh criticism to help them in a friendly, reassuring way, not by making snide, rude remarks on the internet

@ForgedReality: Are you sure that the only reason you're fine in society is because you're too much of a bitch so say stuff like this to a person's face?

I'm too compassionate to say that to a person's face. Get it right. I'm a really fucking nice guy! If that person were here in this room, I wouldn't say it to her face. But lord, almighty, you know she knows everyone in the room is thinking it, so it's really not necessary in the first place, now is it?


Honesty is the best policy.

Why spare someone's feelings when the truth stands a much greater chance of helping them in the long run?
It's like when your friend thinks they can draw really good artwork or make really good music. You let them show their talent and then realize they're really not that good, and it's actually kind of crappy, but you don't want to hurt their feelings so you praise them and tell them how great it is. Then they enter an art competition because they think they're so awesome because all their friends told them they were. Simon Cowell then tells them they suck and whoever told them they didn't was lying to them. Now they feel HORRIBLE because they just embarrassed themselves on national television, AND had their aspirations crushed AND they hate you for lying to them. GOOD GOIN, BUDDY!! You just ruined someone's life!
Wow you're a shitty person.


Okay let me rephrase my original message: "Sweetie, honey-bun, you're fucking huge, baby. And your fat rolls stink. Go on a fucking diet, because holy fucking shit you're pissing off the people on the bus because there's no motherfucking room to sit, and you and your kind are eating up the world's food supply while costing humanity millions in extra fuel for cars and planes to haul your fat ass from place to place, and I don't like seeing 800lb humans get out of a giant car taking up two handicapped spots that could have been used for normal people who know how to control their eating habits. So please, beautiful, drop the happy meal and eat a nice salad. I'll even make one for you, sweetie-bumpkins! "

@soulmonarch

Looks like good reading, still reading wealth of nations, so one more book to add to the list. If you don't mind me probing, does the Fed have "depositors" that it is using to loan against when handing out money to the government? I assume that the debt the US owes to the Fed is to be secured by tax dollars down the line, but aren't those monies created by fractional reserve banking? This reminds me of a snake eating its own tail. If you just close the 1.6 trillion, I would imagine that would close the door on a lot of created money, thus, reduce the money supply quite a bit, which is what I guess they were addressing in the video? Seems like a bit of money contraction couldn't be to bad, as long as you keep your eye on it.

In doing some more reading, it seems like the people applying the most pressure for the new debt ceiling is wall street. Fuck those guys, though. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.

He stated his point, and most of you missed it because he didn't state it clearly enough.

He's not saying that promiscuity is good for a relationship. He's not saying that it's OK to step out of a committed monogamous relationship. He's not saying that a woman shouldn't feel jealous of her man. These are your words and thoughts, not his.

He's ONLY saying that
1) cheating once shouldn't necessarily mean the relationship is over; and
2) if you want to fuck someone else, it doesn't mean you don't still love your partner.

Watch it again. All the rest of what you're arguing are your words in his mouth. Hear what the guy's saying.

Specifically: @Enzoblue, you're confusing sex with love. Maybe you'd go just as crazy if she were just fucking some guy and clearly not in love, and that's fine. You can hate that she isn't satisfied by you, but it's the lack of satisfaction, not the cheating that's the problem, as long as she's not in love with another guy.

@heropsycho, he doesn't say cheating is good or excusable. He has often said (and should have reiterated here) that cheating is a horrible thing to do to your partner if you have agreed to be monogamous. His only adjustment to the current dynamic is that monogamy is overrated, and cheating shouldn't be considered as bad as it is.

@Lawdeedaw, monogamy isn't natural. At no point in time or space except now in the Western world have men been expected to be monogamous. There's biological evidence that suggests human males are built to have more than one mate. (If you ask for it, I'll see if I can find it online).

@quantumushroom, he's not speaking as a Gay man, but as a sexual historian. He says the concept of mutual monogamy didn't exist until 60 years ago, and uses that evidence as his basis for his claim that it's not natural, that it's a modern social construct.
