Don't worry guys, we're watching, and the moment any of you says something that is NOT so vacuous that you should have punched yourself in the face for even bothering to take the time to type it, we'll let you know.

Typhoon, no need to punch yourself (yet). The rest? Sigh

last time i looked out the window their where all sorts of creatures with cocks doing all sorts of radically different life approaches. See but that's kinda exactly the point. People appear to be individuals. Each appears only to have his own thoughts to think and words to say. But what are those t...

Per usual, it has occurred to no one to consider that a "crisis of male identity" necessarily indicates a breakdown in the system that assigns to "males" the terms by which they are to understand their "identity". Nor would it have occurred to anyone to wonder at what p...

I've gotta tell you, guys, it's getting harder and harder for me to consider myself superior. This kid-killing business has just produced SO many profound thoughts and actionable insights from every quarter of our vibrant and dynamic society of public-private partnerships that ... well, golly, how a...

Good news guys, we're seeing some typical conservative clarity of thinking here. Some real realists. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/335767/five-point-action-plan-president-obama-reduce-violence-mentally-ill-d-j-jaffe President Obama said the federal government has to do something meaningful to...

How quickly these discussion turn from any concept of personal responsibility and accountability to blamerican (great word borrowed from Dioscuri) society. Y-uh-huh, all us weak little nanny-state dependents think it's all about SOCIETY, where a good solid man knows hisself some knowledge about &qu...

Speaking not as a member, but nevertheless as one who has insight into such things, I can tell you that the Molochite priesthood looks forward to nothing with greater pleasure and anticipation than to the official sanctioning of teachers, principals, counsellors, and custodians to carry firearms in ...

http://www.nybooks.com/blogs/nyrblog/2012/dec/15/our-moloch/ The gun is not a mere tool, a bit of technology, a political issue, a point of debate. It is an object of reverence. Devotion to it precludes interruption with the sacrifices it entails. Like most gods, it does what it will, and cannot be ...

Don't worry about me Mr. P, it's not your guns that need "control," I'm sure not going to say that. I guess what amuses and depresses me the most is the idea that the Blamerican peeples are going to be able to get the right experts together and figure out how to identify the "potentia...

My dear children, Ask yourselves: who are the little ones here? I bet some of you actually sit there and yearn along when a "thought leader" opines to you, "If only there was a way to detect mentally unstable people and prevent them from getting guns. Just the sick ones." And som...

There's gotta be a market hidden within all this child-killing. The media spectacles don't even scratch the surface. Mr. P, we need ways to monetize this child-killing business. Or rather, it's NOT a business yet, but it should be. I think you're the perfect person to crack this. There's billions po...

Aaaahh, you bozos never cease to amaze us. How is it possible for people to be both so amusing and so tedious at the same time? Incredible how far you're able to convince yourselves (and each other) that you're actually thinking about things when your root-level categories are fucked beyond recognit...

So, explain the value of employee voting rights over management versus holders of voting stock? . . . .

Yours is just such a transparently brilliant idea I can't keep it out of my mind.

Hopefully, this thread is not dead yet...... we still have so much work to do. In the occupational arena (corporations, universities, etc.): The first day any employee is hired, or any student enrolls in class, you get one vote. For each additional year of employment/studentship, you get another vo...

its a never ending source of clusterf*ck with the symbols and projections - one versus infinity stuff indeed - like the progressive greenies who hate the christians yet seem to be desperate to re-create the amish by force but with different dress codes and music. all i know is i can work with lots ...

for many libertarian types self sufficiency has nothing todo with being an isolated loner but absolutely requires cooperation and being part of something bigger. being "self sufficient" means you are capable of doing this by yourself with cooperation and consent - the "needy" re...

I live by minimal expenditure and am able to continue doing so without seeking approval from the system that decides who eats and who starves. I am as much as possible a non-participant in the Oinkonomy of Blamerica. No one, of course, is completely exempt from the mandatory observances of that par...

y'all are on the road to fascism and terror. Which is not necessarily a completely terrible thing. It all depends on what the death lists look like. How's that for optimism? Notice that I did leave open an escape hatch: all it takes is just a few of the right people at the right places and times co...

C'mon Dudes & Dudettes... Cheer up!!! It ain't gonna be all that bad. In the coming years, a lot more of those who have been disinterested for decades are gonna acquire some sensitivity and appreciation for economics and physics. Ah yes, the age-old belief that a society-wide plunge into povert...

See? The spirit of sacrifice is not dead.

The employees of Hostess Corp have done the entire world a service.

The children of today don't know where they came from, so what's the difference?

Current money comes in two syndromes- one representing status and the other commerce- and you can only account for one syndrome at a time. The event is the transaction, and each transaction is a means for a person to announce that the company they are buying for has not been revealed to be somethin...

What you are calling events are not events. When an event happens, you'll know. This is the worst kind of pretentious bullshit. Words mean things and they don't require a high intellectual importance to mean the things they mean. I put on sucks and shoes, I took my kids to school, that was an event...
