This thread has gone on far too long.

Umm... I wasn't running a Siftquisition at all. Notice that I expressed no opinion whatsoever on the matter. I just felt that a poll could provide a simpler and faster gauge of public opinion on westy. Hobble me if you want, but I just thought of it as a poll, nothing more.

I thought iron at first, but I realized that was the obvious wrong answer. So then I settled on calcium. I feel so smart now...

That doesn't make sense. You're just obfuscating everything with lots and lots of words. So all disrespect is equivalent? Wha? Please, stop speaking like a post-modern philosopher.

Why are you always so vindictive?

Somehow, I suspect that the caller wasn't from Lawrence Livermore, although that's just a hunch. There are some dumb scientists, but I'd expect them to have been weeded out at that level.

Michael Jackson always lip-synched when performed Billie Jean, because he needed to devote his full attention to his dancing.

Honestly, the biggest *wtf I've ever experienced. My brain is completely fried. I have nothing more to add to this.

Oh god, The Little Prince is one of my favorite books. And this... no, just no.

Memento mori.

Carpe deum. Seize the GOD, boys. Make your lives REALLY extraordinary.

Sure, public schools could be a monopoly, although they're not a very active monopoly, and private schools, especially homeschools, have a great amount of leeway in how they go about teaching. Of course there are regulations on schools, but at the very least, schools should be required to teach things that are actually true.

You misinterpreted my point regarding the DMV. It's not that the DMV is our only bulwark against anarchy, it's just that arguing against the DMV seems rather unnecessary and nitpicky, stuff that someone would do if they didn't want any government regulation whatsoever. Most people would be more offended by more meddlesome institutions like the Federal Reserve, the SEC, or Medicare.

Thanks for the promote!

*promote , tried posting this under a more ambiguous title to piss off some right wingers. but I cant dupe just to tell people to fuck off

I beg your forgiveness for the state of my channel's CSS file. I'm not very good at that stuff.

How on earth are public schools a monopoly when private schools exist? And even the most extreme libertarian agrees that the government should provide regulation and public goods. Arguing against the DMV borders on anarchy.

I'm actually missing the 1920s right now. Even Coolidge and the Republicans then understood that government regulation can increase wealth and prosperity.

In reply to you, deedub, not everything is about job creation and wealth. And everything eventually recovers in the long run, but people are forced to live in the short run.

*parody, *money

Make sure every frame of the video oozes professionalism. Don't use recognizable fonts, especially Papyrus or Comic Sans, for anything.
