Fail Quotes

[Travis Retriever]

Hello, I'm new here. I made this video about a year ago, but I just realized I had it set to private the whole time. I never really finished it, it was supposed to be completely full of fail quotes, but I only put in a few. Some of them aren't actually that bad, but they seem to get progressively worse.[yt]sJqz7K5hXgE[/yt]
Oh, and make sure you have annotations on.

Nice soundtrack.

Also, long time no see, Houshalter.   And welcome to the forum.

This whole video, but especially (at 4:10):

"Without government, there is no rule of law. This is a no-brainer. Anyone can thus do anything they like. They can steal off of you, kill you, and rape your family and no one short of a vigilante mob will be able to put a stop to it or retaliate for said actions, because in an anarchy there is no rule of law. Without government, who will build or maintain roads?..."

Dude, you formatted that youtube video wrong.
You only put the part after the "="

It should be:

I really need to get to doing that video on "Everything you fear about statelessness is already here"

I can tell already that'll be a fav quote!

"You don't like taxes at all.  Which... means you don[']t like civilization!" --Vogter2100, source is 2:25 of this video:

Incidentally, check out blackacidlizzard's comments to see just how much he loves to play the semantics card.  Something, Shane and I are all too familiar with from said douche-bag.

And, from thunderf00t:  "To be frank, this [JBC's response video] did little more than alert me to the fact that there is a large slice of society--American society, that is: Libertarians/Ron Paul supporters--that seem to be unaware of the fact that were are a social species. "  Source is 1:50 of this video:

[yt]KBipkULRTQI[/yt]

And right after that, TF says:  "The benefits of social interactions can only be purchased with the limitations of the individual.", from the same video; also a fail quote.

Found these (source included) from Guncriminal's profile page:

"[The Fallacy of the Broken Window is] called a 'fallacy' because it does not align with Austrian assumptions."- Rationalwiki

"[Wealth is] GDP idiot." - AntiSchiff, 2011

You know what pisses me off? I and a lot of other skeptics did a lot of work into the Skeptic Wiki, and now skepticwiki.org redirects to Rational Wiki! And no one has given me an answer as to what the fuck happened! Where's all our pages with all our hard work gone? For example, the moon hoax page we had was comprehensive, well-sourced, and convincing to people; Rational Wiki's is idiotic and nothing but a cheering section that won't convince anyone who's not already a skeptic.

I fucking HATE that place...

Posted the war on drugs report from yesterday's podcast on another forum. Got this response:

Gambling is a far worst addiction than drugs, same result . I am in a country were gambling is legalize right now and i am reading people lose homes n matter of a few days just after bouncing back from debt. Gambling is far from a victimless crime .

I guarantee you legalizing prostitution , gambling and drugs all together will make things just as worst , giving to much credit to the education system as people/young people will know right from wrong.


Also you don't seem to realize that the drug war is slowly but surely spilling in our own home turf. The cartel is growing which is why they want to regulate it.

Also this won't take a billions of dollars to fight hell not even a whole battlegroup.

Mostly Black ops handle these quick in and out with no political restrictions and full force.

Now all of that ^^^^ is what it should be about and should do. However this is more to it than what this report says.

First of all , I do find this "I don't care what others do to themselves" mentality really sickening , sure its their lives and its the way they want to live it but who do you think take care of them when shiz hit the fan them? no their family , they then become a burden upon others and in some cases the government as criminals during jailtime and court fees. Its a dangerous cycle.
Unless your insinuating the family members and government just be eff these people ?

I may come from a militant family but i tell you this those guys who serve with me are my brothers , and if we take that type of attitude, we all would be dead. What affects one , affects us all its simple as that. if the U.S economy defaulted it would affected the rest of the world as well. Just like leaving and allowing a drug problem to grow it also becomes our problem.

When i hear stop giving foriegn aid and so forth , I know some small countries depends on foriegn investment for their economy and infastructure.

This is not a pro war mentality I am not pro war , I am in surport to get out the middleeast we can't win that war we are fighting a losing battle it's only wasting resources and lifes of American Soldiers .

However like in the other thread like i explain America is the biggest customer to the drug game , sure illegalization what fuels it but legalizing it will not stop it , as i said before captialism will make legalizing do nothing i mean companies would just seek to hire cartels for the cheaper production so it will only increase these cartel businesses , it won't stop the senseless killing they do either.

What needs to be done is guarding our borders with troops and eliminate all close threats.

for the record the trillions spent in these war are for it being prolong for so long. If we fought like the chinese who believe going in with overwhelming force and numbers it would not only be quick it chances are we could have won .

This guy gets worse and worse as he posts:

you do realize it harder to grow other drugs than it is to run a brewery ?
You do know that by the time they set up a good production field it be more to maintain in the us than where they are naturally found?
That 1930's bullcrap logic doesn't fly here because it not ABC logic its factors between the two and fact is other drugs are way more cheaper to manufacture elsewhere than the U.S with the exception to maybe just maybe marijuana. If you can provide me how easy it would be producing all these drugs in the U.S and how much more profitable said companies will be if done so I will take back my opinion.
But as it is breweries are far easier run.

There are pros and cons to everything and just like the pros to legalization of drugs their are sever cons to it.
I am all in favor to legalize mary jane if i know it will be 100% american grown and manufactured in order for this to happen, coperations would need to invest money and government to implement strict regulation against hiring outside producers.

The drug game itself is violent from the day it was born, it won't change either now.Cartel rise in power and just like  the government , power corrupts. And in Mexico where government officials are in with the cartels legalizing there won't do much either.


btw U.S Military does not capture every cartel member or try avoid minimal casualties, Only people that will possible live to tell the tale is 1-3 top men who will face jail time.

So to sum it up I am in favor of what you said in legalizing drugs if we do it ourselves but knowing how this country operates it won't be done so.

The following is the video that Fringeelements parodied; the one I just posted in Fav Quotes:  [yt]SwZl2Hyw-sk[/yt]

Apparently libertarians are all supposed to live in a cave somewhere and not use any technology, or else we are endorsing "socialism". Its so ridiculous, and yet I know this is what a lot of people seriously think.

Saw this failure of a comment on facebook in regards to Whole Foods being so expensive:

Everybody is just trying to make a buck, if eating healthy was cheaper more people would do it which = less disease which = less money for drug companies. They want us to be sick and eat processed food. Fuck this country.

people seem to apply the 1st amendment very liberally given the context to when it was originally written. You may not like it but cell phone use is a service not a right. More importantly with freedom of speech comes acceptance of the consequences of that speech. You can say "i want to kill the president" but then you cant complain when your sent to jail.
More over since people cannot protest peacefully in the world anymore and their strapping bombs on men,women, and children that can be triggered by cell phone denying/restricting access to a SERVICE is not only lawful but prudent.

There are so many more important "rights" issues worth fighting for privelage use issues like denying cell phone access is is no FucKing big deal. As the article said the world still turned when we didnt have the damned things.

Related to the video that surhot just posted over in Fav Quotes by ProfMTH (God appointed Hitler?), I'd like to submit the first half of Romans 13 as a fail quote:

FINALLY found a response to how a libertarian can be a Christian in light of this passage, and yes, it's full of fail: http://libertarianchristians.com/2008/11/28/new-testament-theology-2/

Some real doozies:

"Paul's primary message for Christians, however, is not that states are specially instituted in the same way as the family and church, but rather that the state is not operating outside of the plans of God. In this sense, the state is divinely instituted in the same way that Satan is divinely instituted." Really? Why isn't God saying to obey Satan in all things then?

"Submission to civil government, then, is always qualified. The command is to obey in general, but sometimes we will disobey public policy because of personal and Scriptural conviction." In other words, obey when you want, don't when you don't feel like it. Come on! Isn't that what people are going to do anyway? If that's the message, then what's the point of even HAVING this passage?

"Verses 2-4 indicate that if you irritate the state then you will face wrath, but if you behave in the way the state wants then they will be pleased. At many points, what the state defines as good and evil may be very much opposed to what God defines as good and evil. But what Paul is telling the believers in Rome is that if they do something that the Roman government defines as evil then they will likely be punished for it." BULLSHIT! Verse 5 SPECIFICALLY says, "Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF CONSCIENCE." However, the author conveniently stops before verse 5, leaving it as the start of his next passage (despite it beginning with the word "therefore") and essentially skipping over it as a result.

Watch him worm around it: "The word 'conscience' in verse 5 should be interpreted in a similar manner as 1 Corinthians 10 (regarding food sacrificed to idols). The believers were concerned that the Roman state would find a legal reason to persecute them." DOUBLE BULLSHIT! Here's the verse again, with different emphasis: "Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF POSSIBLE PUNISHMENT but also because of conscience." So, he's effectively re-written the verse to say, "Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also because of possible punishment."

He continues this motif: "Paul also says to submit to paying taxes for the same reason: avoiding state wrath in order to live for God. One despises paying taxes, but in order to abate the state's wrath one pays them." But again, we're not JUST talking about "avoiding state wrath"--conscience was SPECIFICALLY given as a reason OTHER THAN state wrath to submit to authority! Here we have someone who wants to deny what the Bible says, and is willing to warp the text any way he can to make it fit what he WANTS it to say, not what it REALLY says. That's both anti-rational AND anti-Christian! How often does THAT happen?

Here was one fail comment that stood out among many fail comments on a recent Campaign for Liberty post about illegal immigration.

are you kidding me Ziya? Are you KIDDING ME!? There is no morality for coming here illegally. and to RECEIVE amnesty, you must ASK for it.!

Gah, and here is an argument I used to use when I actually thought illegal immigration was a major problem:

Imagine Your President Says:
"From now on...when you are asleep..its NOT illegal for strangers to enter your home to eat your food, drink your water, use your bathrooms etc...Its not. Its not harming anyone for them to do this...so its not ...illegal...and if you disagree, I will make sure that the media companies that kiss my ass portray you to be a selfish crazy person for wanting your home to be safe and secure..."
