It's alright, man. Don't let it get to you. Take a few deep breaths, watch some videos, and try not to think about it.

*deep breath* YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!

Thank you blanky, that was unexpectedly sweet of you I'll be back if my offline life suddenly takes a horrible turn for the worse, how about that

Take care now sugar, and a few deep breaths too!

I think KP was flirting with you. That cheeky bastard.

You will be missed. I do wish you'd reconsider and stay. We all want to leave at some point, and sometimes more often than others, but it's always best for us to stick around like that dysfunctional family where we bury our dead under the porch and slowly the place starts feeling like a bizarre Edgar Allen Poe short story. Stay.

Who will post those wonderful Mitchell & Webb vids? And who will completely ignore me when I get all huffy about government and gay shit like that? Stay.

Think it over. Word.

I apologize if you think I'm being insensitive. It's certainly not my intention. I thought maybe a quick "suck it up" could act as a verbal jolt to help you out a bit. You're obviously feeling aggrieved here. A couple of points I'd like to communicate:

1. If you're going to have a sensitivity dysfunction- "over sensitive" is preferable to "under".
2. Comparing BT to a lactating woman, and other female oriented slurs is kind of mysoginistic- it makes female traits into something unfavorable. It's disappointing to read this from you.
3. I appreciate your contributions to the community, but it's also disappointing to read you bring money into your arguments- as if I would let that be a factor in trying to make fair admin decisions for the community.

So, I'm hobbled for baiting BT? Wow. I guess that feminine lady-man needs a papa to take up for him. Oh shit, was that also considered "baiting"? FUCK! I really suck at your rules!

Quit trying to turn yourself into a martyr, suck it up and take a deep breath.

No offense, Dag, but you ain't exactly the sweetest most understanding "ruler". You were a dick during your "Siftler" days, and the fact that you ask me to "suck it up" is appalling. I wish I could PM to say this, but I cannot during my hobble, so I have to air all my grievances in the open... I've donated a lot of money to this site and I've been a steady charter (purposely updated recently so I can pay the full amount instead of the BS 10 dollars a year or whatever the fuck it used to be).

Sorry if you think I'm playing the martyr, but I think you're a bit insensitive and unreasonable. And BT is a cry baby.

I thought I made this clear. I'm not hobbling you for being a racist. I don't think you are a racist. I'm hobbling you for repeatedly baiting a fellow Sifter- being grossly insensitve to another human being.

You can point out all the bad words on the Sift that you want. It's not about that- it's about being a jerk to another human being. Quit trying to turn yourself into a martyr, suck it up and take a deep breath.

And yet you've banned no one for saying "nigger" or "kike" or "spic" even though most think it's appalling. I'd suspect Lady Death or Zonbie are possibly Latin-American, and the use of spic may be offensive. Maybe that's why they're no longer around?

Are you playing only one side?

Racism extends beyond a sensitive child like BT. He's possibly black but I don't know for sure - and neither do you. I do, however, think there are others on here that are black, Jewish and Latino that may (AND SHOULD) feel slighted by this arbitrary justice.

Especially since you've given preferential treatment to one race over another.

This has absoulutely nothing to do with your politics- but I find the idea that you would jump to this conclusion delicious. Are you claiming aggrieved minority status?

I think Bt is a black dude. I think you were deliberately baiting him with the spook thing. I think if I was black, I wouldn't like this. I think if you stretched your empathetic feelings you would understand this and maybe feel regret. In lieu of the golden rule working- I've taken some mild action.

Awesome.

I do something similar with my son where I take a deep breath and blow in his direction causing him to erupt with giggles and fall over backwards.

^Because I don't care for revisionist history. It's not the Republican Party of today, NR, so it's okay he created a party with the same name.

I mean, yeah, it's an ancestor to the modern Republican Party as it's also an ancestor to the modern Democratic Party, but they're all different parties.

Take a deep breath. Relax. Thomas Jefferson would also dislike George W. Bush. I'm sure of it.

What. The. Fuck. The currency's value is driven specifically by its supply. Never in history has it not. In any economy! Stop spreading your partisan misinformation, please!

Okay, deep breaths. Reread what I said that followed the portion you quoted. Read (or reread) the article marinara linked.

Back? Awesome. Now, say I can buy a loaf of bread for $1 today. Let's say after the store closes, the Fed "prints" enough money to double the money supply, gives it to banks, and the banks say "just put it on our account and keep it in your vault, we don't wanna lend that out right now". So the Fed just carts it from the printers to their vault.

Will a loaf of bread cost $2 when the store opens the next day?

Bonus question: Will a euro cost me twice as much that next morning, as soon as the exchange hears about what the Fed's done?

Because Austrian economics is just libertarianism? Well, in that case, I'm glad you recognize people like Thomas Jefferson to be Libertarian in nature. Though, I doubt you could consider Andrew Jackson, the racist father of your Democratic party, to be Libertarian. Obviously neither studied Austrian Economics, but both were adamantly against a centralized bank system. What does that do for your bullshit hypothesis that Austrian Economics is thinly veiled Libertarianism? Probably nothing good, right? Yeah, what I figured.

Okay, let me walk through your reasoning here. You're saying Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson are neither libertarians, nor Austrians, but were anti-central bank. This disproves my theory that Austrians based their theories on axioms designed to support libertarian ideology how?

Here's how you'd go about proving me wrong: name one government policy that Austrian Economic theory recommends that libertarians and anarcho-capitalists would disagree with.

Actually, being against an elitist, big money, powerful central bank is not an idea solely indicative of Austrian Economics. It's a universal idea most agree with... except those who tow their Democratic party lines so blindly and carefully.

There are plenty of people who might disagree with something the Fed's done, or give a negative job rating for the Fed at any given time, but that's different (as in the difference between saying "I hate what Obama's doing" and "I want to eliminate the Presidency entirely"). I think a far more accurate statement would be that most people have no clue what the Federal Reserve is or does -- I'd be shocked if even 20% could accurately tie it to money supply or interest rates.

I want to see some polling backing up your overtly partisan claims. I'd say the number of people who actively want the Fed abolished utterly is pretty small, and tightly linked to the number of people who're blind followers of fans of Ron Paul.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, blah blah blah, HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, blah blah blah,hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh


the deep breathing bitch from hell Sarah Palin

alright everybody, take a deep breath and jump down the rabbit hole

Fantastic stuff from Carr again. And, on the money... As much as I hate Scientology, is there anything you can really level at them that you can't level at the other faiths?
Ludicrous story with no ability to marry it to any sort of reality at all? Check
Collects vast sums of money from its followers? Check
Encourages its followers to convert others to their cause or do their best to not mingle with the unbelievers if they can't? Check (oh yes, I know many Christians like this)
Has caused millions of deaths around the world for thousands of years... oh, wait, that's only the 'other' faiths.
Sorry, my bad. Scientology wins.



Things might level out a bit if you include all the millions of aliens brought to Earth on spaceships not 'unlike' DC-9 aircraft and were blown to smithereens via the use of hydrogen bombs..in volcanoes all over the Earth (though a number which were mentioned in the text did not yet exist at the time) releasing magical pest-like spirits into the environment which now cling onto our bodies and make us do bad things.

*time for a deep breath*

[Krupo takes a deep breath.]

No wait, I don't need to do that when typing in invocations. But this is the first of many unless someone conveniently pops them in for me. Not all in this playlist are appropriate though.

maybe it's just me, but i never thought the votes were the "backbone" of the site, and i tend not to care about old sifts.

Fuck it, everyone should just register on Facebook, Lucky should write an FB application, and we encase this old place in concrete. It was kinda shit before the crash and fixing it is just making it shitter. I thought the idea of the site was to replace TV, not to become a repository of clique backscratching activity, or a bandwidth sucking expensive monster.

Let's take a deep breath and move on, because in 5 years nobody will give a shit who upvoted what in 2006, and this is a chance for a fresh start.

After the Great Fire of London, Sir Christopher Wren made a beautiful new plan for rebuilding the city from scratch... but people couldn't agree about changing property rights, so they rebuilt on the old layout and made a fucking mess.

hahahahahaahhahahaha *takes deep breath* HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH
