Me to my mom after a discussion about a dog:  "The point about eating our dinner reminds me of a youtube poop with that Zelda CD-I game.  It was spliced so that the king actually killed and ate his daughter (Zelda) for dinner."

Mom: "He got that from the bible."

Me: "I doubt it, I think it was just a coincedence."

Mom (with a grin): "Oh, no, it was definitely from the bible."

Nevermind the fact that she would have the burden of proof on that, and wouldn't be able to just assert it.
*facepalms*

And people wonder why I'm also an Anti-Theist in addition to an Atheist and an Anti-Statist in addition to an Anarcho Capitalist...

This video's comment section is so full of fail:  e.g. defense and apologetics for tyranny, arguing that "well you don't know what a police state is.  We're not as bad as Afganistan" Yeah, yet...idiots.
Someone please tell the neocons here to go fuck themselves.

Warning, what has been read, cannot be unread.

I have taken a liking to Dale Everett's site and his writing.
He's a pretty insightful guy.

However, the next bit I will paraphrase belongs in this thread:

"Corporations are the real rulers.  Follow the money." --Dale Everett

My (would be) response:  "Corporations are an arm of the State in so much as they are legal entities.  They are NOT the rulers themselves, as they wouldn't exist without the State; that's just silly."

"It's because we're surrounded by legions of Alex Jones fans.  As much good information he spreads, he also gives out a lot of disinformation." --Someone on the Mises Forum thread on the Fed being a "private" bank

Emphasis added by me.
Speaks for itself, really.

"Stupid question:  In the first scenario, couldn't she have put the child up for adoption?"  --Me, in response "Abortion Challenge! Is it Ethical or Unethical? You decide!" by roevswade

The fail quote:
"So if she couldn't find a family, murder is okay?"--Nulono in response to me

Personally, I will always adore TheAmazingAtheist's reply to his position on the abortion debate.
"I'm pro-abortion; no, not pro-choice, but PRO-ABORTION:  Kill as many babies as you can."
"When the mob and the press and the whole world tell you to move, your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside the river of truth, and tell the whole world—'No. You move.'"
-Captain America, Amazing Spider-Man 537

Said when I refuted another "Stalin was an atheist" argument.

"It's interesting how when a religious man commits atrocities, he must be doing it because of his religion... but when an atheistic man commits atrocities, he must be doing it for some other reason."

Yeah, forgetting the fact that those who commit atrocities in the name of their religion ADMITTED IT THEMSELVES!!
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"

Here's something I said on this video by ladyattis:  "On the, "REGULATION VACATION CELEBRATION!" video, they linked to a story on mises (dot) org, saying that the people there "actually agree with the contents of their video in a more serious sense" I read the first bit, and found the institute had been strawmanned."

And here's the failquote response: "@Surhotchaperchlorome  Keep... There are 'serious' arguments for Somalia being better off without a central governement on the Von Mises Website. There are no researchers @Von Mises. They conduct no behavioral research, doubleblind testing or support game theory. They don't do anything like research. They quote that which seems to support a slightly warped neoclassical economic theory. They are a fringe element, a sometimes interesting critic of dominant Keynesian and Monetarist theory." --TrampEdgewood

CAN I GET A FACE-PALM?!

"We workers are not dirty.  The only dirt is Capitalist gang.  We workers are the only added value created.  Long live communism." --SlobodnaJugoslavija on this video
Speaks for itself, really.

"'Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence' is just a cliche'."  --an acquaintance of mine

Because I forget to just say, "an acquaintance of mine".
Blah, hold on...
There.

Good ol' Kia.  Never runs out of good fail quotes.

He said "Communism can, and arguably should be, be linked with a democratic political system, and the same goes for socialism."

Now that's worthy of being here on it's own but it gets even better!

I brought up the fact that India does just that and look how much good that's done them.  He comes back with...

"AHAHAHAHA! You are clueless. India is a booming economy that is recovering from protectionist policies that isolated them from the rest of the world, economically, for 50 years."

India is a booming economy?  Yeah, their leaders seem to think so but if you take their word for it unquestioningly, I got a homeopathic cure for brain cancer to sell you.  -_-

India WAS booming while they were allowing the "sweatshops" to flourish. Now that they've cracked down on this again (another socialist thing), their economy's being stifled.

"There is no war but the class war." --FakeSagan
