“The governmental policies in the United States of America are a damper, a wet...”
– Steve Wynn
Know what happens when you punish the rich for earning, when you say they “have enough money?” They leave. Do you people not understand that? If you push them too far, THEY WILL LEAVE. But yes, good job, Bambi—chase away the money. I’m sure that’ll be great...
Wannabe philosophers need to stop emailing me.
One aspect of my nature and presence on this godforsaken website is that I tend to get a lot of Ask messages and reblogs from a lot of weirdos about social/political/philosophical stuff. Most of the time, it’s stuff like “0/10 bad troll!!!” or essay-long rebukes of my character. It’s amusing, but it does get old and I tend not to read all of them (I have about 140 unread...

savingink:
Actually, there are terms made: they are called “laws”. No one asks you whether you would like to follow the laws of a country, and yet, if you were to take that gun and actually rob your neighbor’s house, you would be punished if you were caught and convicted. If you were to have no laws, you would live in a state of anarchy, which is impossible to maintain (not to mention...

“We’re not trying to push financial reform because we begrudge success...”
– Barack Obama
“Oh, sure, I don’t begrudge what’s fairly earned - but yeah, you clearly earned way too much. We’ll just go ahead and do you a favor and relieve you of that. No, no, don’t bother to thank me. It was my pleasure.”
Man, what an asshole. Does he not...
When I was in the 10th grade my mom was bitching about gays at the breakfast table. Going on and on about how wrong it is (she’d just “rediscovered” Christianity) and the liberal agenda, blah blah. Meanwhile, Dad’s reading the paper and decides to look over the top and say, “Sounds like someone had a lesbian affair in college” and goes back to the sports...
Dear Women, You're never going to be happy with...
californiacornbread:
At some point, you women are going to have to come to some sort of consensus. You’re never going to be thin enough. Your tits won’t sit “just right”. Your hair is never going to look exactly the way you envisioned. And whoever told you buying those shoes was a good idea needs to be shot.
Because let’s just be real: Most guys are perfectly happy with a solid “7”. You don’t...
The Right Argument Against Gay marriage →
Disclaimer: I don’t care about gay marriage. Gay marriage is a complete non-issue. Let them marry, don’t, it doesn’t affect me either way. I don’t have a particular affinity for maintaining the status quo if there are better options, either, so I quite definitively don’t give a damn.
Either way, what follows is a very good read.
Many gay marriage supporters...
“The practical reason for freedom is that freedom seems to be the only condition...”
– Albert Jay Nock
I don't understand why you'd like that thing...
…but I respect your right to have it or do it. I respect your freedom to be stupid.
Do you respect mine? Do you respect my right to do that which you consider idiotic? Or wasteful? Or shameful? Or harmful to my own health? Or pointless? Or reckless? Or shallow? Or pandering to my own insecurities?
I read a great article by Penn Jillette today (you know what, let’s face it: every...

Women: why should men want anything to do with... →
spaceships:
In response to your post: “Women, why should men have anything to do with you?”
Huh. I didn’t even see this one. You should understand that I have about a hundred or so unanswered messages in my ask box and get several new ones each day. Most of them aren’t anything worth addressing. On the occasion that I do have an engaging conversation to attend to, more pressing...
“I don’t mind women protesting, but why can’t some cute ones do it?”

onoffkonoff asked: My point was to state that you don't know what 'rationality' is - and that any possible definition you're thinking of offering will fail to get you what you want. I don't think you have understood the argument I've made. The point you think you've made against me about rationality (re: "... understanding of rationality as it applies here is fundamentally...
HIV-Positive Man Charged with 'Bioterrorism' →

awindofsuchviolence:newleft:
The body of a 44-year-old man is a bioterror weapon, according to a Michigan county prosecutor who is charging Daniel Allen, with “possession or use of a harmful biological device” for biting his neighbor during a neighborhood fight. Allen is African American and HIV-positive; his case is believed to be the first in the nation where prosecutors...
Misinformed Decision-Making
Suppose one day you found yourself in a situation in which you needed information in order to make a decision about something you don’t really understand. It could be anything. You go to a lawyer because you could be considering a partnership with a company and want to know the legal ramifications and liabilities. You go to a mechanic because your car could have stopped working and you want...

Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal, on time. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so...
Planned Parenthood is nothing and has never been...
We all know this to be true. Everybody knows that everything about Planned Parenthood is shady, and that they will do any and everything under the sun if it means more abortions. We all know that Planned Parenthood is willing to break the law if it means abortion, going so far as to cover up clear cases of statutory rape. We all know that Planned Parenthood is willing to support racism if it means...

Miracles →
A Million Stars Yes, they’re amazing. But miracles? Hardly. Stars are actually just balls of hydrogen and helium, with a smattering of other elements (oxygen, carbon, etc) thrown in for good measure. They stay up in the sky because they’re slowly orbiting around the center of our galaxy. Oh, and for the record, there are actually something like 200 billion stars in our galaxy alone,...

You know, I wasn’t going to write about this. I’ve been all over the journals (and a couple other forums) on the subject, and frankly I was getting a little tired of it. That was until I read a little blurb about Ellen DeGeneres giving Constance McMillan a $30,000 scholarship as an apparent…

You know, I wasn’t going to write about this. I’ve been all over the journals (and a couple other forums) on the subject, and frankly I was getting a little tired of it. That was until I read a little blurb about Ellen DeGeneres giving Constance McMillan a $30,000 scholarship as an apparent pity gift for her whole ordeal.
OK. First, let’s talk about her “ordeal.”...

Masculinism
I get emails about this all the time.
Masculinism has both social and practical aspects. In large part, mainly the social aspect of it, it’s the opposition to the attempts to redefine the attitudes and ideologies of men and effectively make them socially impotent.
It’s the opposition to their metrosexualization, as well as the characterizations of them in media as vapid, powerless,...
Activists and awareness.
If you don’t know, you could probably guess that I’m the kind of guy that absolutely hates any kind of activist “awareness” programs. I tend to mention them in passing to some larger point, but suffice to say, I find them to be such a waste of time and money. It’s what people who don’t actually do anything do to make themselves feel like they’re doing...

Psalm 139:13-16 states, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearful and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for...
onoffkonoff asked: Gotcha. I have a bit clearer view of your position now. Thanks for the reply.
I think it's possible to attack your position from a few angles. Mostly, I'd still object to the vagueness of 'rationality.' I think you have two options for defining 'rationality':
1) as a definitional truth (or a necessary condition for being human): for each thing...

Attention Wal-Mart consumers: Please form a line...
Are you freakin’ kidding me with this? OK, if you don’t know, some teenager got on a Wal-Mart intercom system and said, “All black people, leave the store now.” Now, apparently, despite the fact that this is absolutely hilarious, it’s harassment and bias intimidation.
Now, before any of you righteously indignant whiners start complaining that I said it was...
