On both accounts, good, then it's not just me...

"Capitalism & socialism are both redistributions of wealth. One redistributes it upwards, the other spreads it out which is why you'll be hard pressed to find either a billionaire or a homeless person in Denmark. Why redistribute at all?"--Proteanview

"Myth: Regulation is to blame for unemployment
Fact: OVER Regulation is only one of many contributing factors, simply blaming it on regulation is a gross over simplification of the global and domestic economic situation, ignoring a wide range of factors such as worker redundancy, exploitation of desperate labor, insufficient education for tech jobs, economy of scale, and so much more.

But by the look of you, you're an internet troll."--GodlessInfinity on my YouTube channel.

The word "troll" has really turned in to something you say to dismiss arguments of any kind. Kinda like Vogter calling everyone that criticizes him a strawman.

Yup.
Whenever anyone seems to criticize Vogter2100, that person will be called a troll, and the criticism a strawman.

Vogter just saw smart people using the term and figured using it himself would make himself smart.
I recently heard that the word heretic is derived from the greek work heriticos which means "able to choose"
The more you know...

QuoteYes but we must live in the country as it is, not as we wish it was. There are thousands of laws on the books that address marriage, including tax laws. Rather than overturn each and every single one of those laws, it's easier to add to the existing laws.

The government will never get out of the business of marriage because it is legally binding and impacts many other laws addressing child custody, domestic abuse, military service, and disability just to name a few.

This one will require a bit of context.

Before reading the comments to follow, I would suggest watching this video so that you'll know what we're talking about.  Or at least scrolling to the scene beginning around 5:20 ish:

As usual, the fails are in red:

Me: "5:57 - True, but the news guy said "Global Warming ALARMISTS" (caps for emphasis) he didn't say that was what the scientists said in that bit."

Desertphile (in response to my comment):  "You are of course 100% correct. The alarmists on the subject are the hysterical fascist nutcases like Glen Beck and FOX "News" obeyers why insist AGW did not happen and is not happening."

Another one on the same video:
"'...misunderstood by both proponents and critics of climate science.'
Proponents of climate change? What, are they homicidal sociopaths?! Who the bloody hell are climate change proponents?"--Desertphile


Though I agree that Climate Change is real, I also agree that the Climate Change alarmists are total cultists about it...

Someone is in serious need of Stefan Molyneux's book, Universally Preferable Behaviour.
I linked him to it in the description.
Here's hoping he gives it a read.

QuoteThe problem with the scanners isn't nudity. It's that they represent how America always goes for the biggest, DUMBEST, most cost-ineffective brute-force method that the military-industrial complex can buy. Instead of dogs, we have $150K scanners that were heavily lobbied for. Instead of intelligence ops and diplomacy, we have decade-long $4 trillion wars. Obama is a very effective follower of a feeble-minded electorate that seems to like this approach.
--EdwardCurrent's comment on this video
Emphasis on the part that is a fail.

Last time I checked, about 75% of people OPPOSE the war...
In fact, one of the reasons Obama was elected was because he said (at least in some of his speeches at some point) that he would withdraw from the wars...
I hate to break it to the real EdwardCurrent (who is a liberal atheist) but...
Obama LIED to you...

This video and every comment save for mine, Morrakiu's, and Apptendo's are all epic fail quotes.

A sample:  "ANTI-FREEDOM?!?!?!?!! I'm some one actually fighting and you call me anti-freedom. You are such an ignprant fool calling me anti-freedom. You should never EVER say that to any soldier or Veteran. You could be killed by saying that!"

Because nothing says pro-freedom quite like death threats.
And people wonder why I'm not a minarchist...
The state military needs to go even moreso than the welfare-state.
