Oh look, someone with a "The Invisible Hand Of The Market will sheperd and protect us all" attitude!

Your argument is self defeating: Quinine has been in use for a very long time and no really better drug has been discvoered. Yet "there are more than 225 million cases of malaria, killing around 781,000 people each year according to the World Health Organisation's 2010 World Malaria Report, 2.23% of deaths worldwide. The majority of deaths are of young children in sub-Saharan Africa. Ninety percent of malaria-related deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa." (From wikipedia)

I don't know of a single death from Erectile Dysfunction that could have been prevented if Viagra would have been invented earlier.

And since there is way more money to be made from giving old white guys a few last boners than saving millions of por people from malaria, we still don't have one effective drug against it.
Three cheers for privatizing the medical sector!

Oh look. Someone with a anti-rich, anti-white guy rant. I mean it's not like we haven't been using things like Quinine for nearly 500 years to treat it or anything, and it's not like europeans didn't figure out what worked or anything.
Cheers. That "private medical sector" did just fine.

WTF? No really WTF?

Thanks for that quality. No really I mean it. I'm not even sarcastic.

We're your guys! (No really *snicker*)

Great video. Catchy and happy (even with it's dark theme), I thought.

I said numbers don't mean anything, but if you want to make a big deal out of my comment, fine..God gives everyone a fair chance..anyone who goes to hell is just someone who refused to turn from their evil..it's not like anyone is "stuck" somewhere, as if God couldn't reach them..God isn't limited..so what is incomprehensible to you is possible for Him..Here is a primary example of God reaching someone who otherwise wouldn't know about HIm

The true God would have the number one, I'm sorry, "#1" religion? Seriously? Even if that religion is only two-sevenths of the world's population. Saving two people out of every seven is good enough for God I guess. And then you drag the half of the world you believe are doomed for eternity because they pray to the wrong Magic Sky Person into it and use them to suggest, "Hey they'll all burn in Hell because they picked the wrong God but at least they get the idea, unlike you morons." Of course, Islam and Judaism also believe in the Abrahemic God, so there's a billion and a half people who do believe in your God, but get to go to Hell because they're doing it wrong.
But no, really, your translations of old books and imaginary friend are way better than critical thinking. Three cheers for God!
The Abrahamic God is #1 when worshipped in a (proper) Christian way!

Not that numbers prove anything, but Christianity is the worlds biggest religion. I would think that the true God would have the #1 religion. Don't forget that 4/5's of the world disagrees with your conclusion that there isn't a God in the first place.

He'll never be president. He may have some populist ideas, but putting him in charge of the country would be about as bad as putting Sarah Palin in charge (only she has a better chance of winning).


You sound like a Fox News propagandist. No, really, you do. To compare Sara-lie-cheat-crazy Palin and Ron Paul... I think that is right in Beck's play book (Like when Beck compares people to Hitler that don't deserve it...)

Populist? McCain was populist. Obama? Populist. Ron Paul. Well, if that's populist, then I guess I don't know the word.

He wants to stop the drug war. To me and you, that may be a great idea; to the average person? That is unelectable. Pull the troops back? Great for Democrats, but not for his own party's supporters who vote him in. Cut regulation so that "too big to fail" businesses drown if they actually fail? Banks hate it, and the people don't care because they think this propped-up "capitalism" is actually a free market. And Gitmo? Closing it also makes his base, and most democrats, cringe too...

The best part, his most un-populist ideas (Monetary gold system for one) would never flesh out in Congress. So all that would happen is: Gitmo would close, the wars would end, social programs would be paired down, aid to other nations would fall, etc... In other words, all that would happen are the things Democrats and Republicans like...

Now if you would have said, "Ron Paul is a nice guy, more honest than most, and because of this he won't get elected," I would completely agree. To me, he is boring, he is nice, he is the lesser scandal. And so--he won't win. In fact, in a certain morbid way, I hope he does not. He deserves more than this rotten country gives.

I fail to see where his views are popular when his motto basically is, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but get off your ass and do for your country and self." There are no handouts to corporations, people or other nations... It's why he lost last time.

Meh. This guy is just another statist idiot. (I had to do it!)

/No really, he is super-racist though.

I know I'm a douche, but I can't help but *promote this. No, really, Noam has me at gunpoint.

No, really. You think?!

There are a lot of discrete mathematical (series) implications to pi as well. I believe that's what standardized the use of pi being pi and not being 2 pi.
In fact, geometrically, beyond trig, if you look at areas and circumferences your options would be looking at the alternative function of area=(pi/2) r^2 instead of just (pi) r^2. Now would it be easier to have 2 variables, tau and pi and remember when to switch between the 2? No. Really, learning basic trig would be the only advantage of this...which is a minute part of the math world.

Seriously, read the manifesto. Area = (tau/2) r^2 actually makes more sense, too.

That was insanely stupid.

No, really, it was trying to be all 'smart' and 'ooh, I never thought about it like that before' but ended up just being a-grade fucking dumb as so many of the 'no reason' things he spouted have VERY GOOD REASONS.

Stupid beyond reason.

There are a lot of discrete mathematical (series) implications to pi as well. I believe that's what standardized the use of pi being pi and not being 2*pi.

In fact, geometrically, beyond trig, if you look at areas and circumferences your options would be looking at the alternative function of area=(pi/2)*r^2 instead of just (pi)*r^2. Now would it be easier to have 2 variables, tau and pi and remember when to switch between the 2? No. Really, learning basic trig would be the only advantage of this...which is a minute part of the math world.

No, I agree with quantum. What better way to take a stand against the liberal enemy within than to eat lots and lots of hamburgers, steaks, ribs and chicken fried steak?! No, really, this would be a great protest. Tea Parties are for pussies. Have a Meat Party.

Here's how you do it:

Eat really fatty, cholesterol laden dishes 6 or 7 times a day. About one meal every 2-3 hours. But, you don't want to get fat and out of shape, because when the revolution comes, you are going to need to be lean and mean. Get a gym membership to counteract all those calories, and be vigilant about working out. Don't even waste a second. Eat a triple western bacon cheeseburger and curly fries and then immediately do some strenuous cardio. With all the extra workout time, you won't have as much time to sleep, which means you are going to have to get some cocaine. LOTS and LOTS of cocaine. So, to recap, take lots of cocaine, eat copious amounts of high calorie, high fat, low fiber foods, and then engage in extremely strenuous activities sporadically throughout the day. I think that would be the best way for people of your political stripe to make this world a better place.
