Feel free to report it to a moderator, but I personally don't classify breasts as explicit nudity especially now that it is tagged with my equivalent of an NSFW sign.

You should listen to em...he's a sharp kid.

Refer to rule #1.  Like it or not, agree with the US's phobia of the human body or not, exposed breasts count.  I can see where you're coming from, so no warning or anything, but please keep this in mind.

No I meant that as per #1 if its tagged as nsfw and not explicit which I dont think breasts are, that it was ok. But as per the rules its up to the mod.

I only removed the first one.  Nick, in a true display of fail, removed the second.  Go ahead & repost the non-nipple one.

As a rule of thumb, nipples = no-no.

Got the report, saw the argument with you and Em on the page and figured that was the offending link, prior to turning the page and seeing Millahh's post.

He seems half insane (not necessarily wrong), and in the end he's laying most of the blame upon the Corporate entity Goldman Sachs for having a silent coup in the American government. What charges he brings against the government are becuase of this take over, not against government qua government.

I'm all for limiting the power of businesses.

He's not necessarily wrong, but he didn't offered a real answer or counterargument to why the caller was wrong. He just let himself drive by emotion. You can notice hos he's really new at Libertarianism. He knows the caller is wrong but he didn't had the patience, serenity nor the sufficient wisdom to give a rational answer. That's why he achieved the ass-hole position that easily.

I would say you described pretty well what I would call "dumb." You can be dumb and "right," what makes someone intelligent is the reasons for their beliefs not the beliefs themselves.

3:30 is classic. As emindead says, at least give some rational thought into your rebuttals against France/UK-style health administration if you honestly care that much.

Getting UHC passed here will be easier if we can paint this guy as one of its most vocal opponents.

<br />While I agree in general, there are a couple of big differences.  Targeted marketing is a far cry from the suspension of Habeas Corpus.   Private companies don\'t generally toss people into unmarked Gulfstreams and send them off to Jackfuckistan to be \"questioned.\"

The audience all getting cancer would NOT help the economy.

I like where he's going with the gold standard though.

The guy seems to split the difference between Liberals and Libertarians on this board.

And I think his poin about cancer was pretty much yours. Immediately speaking, the economy would probably get a good boost from people getting cancer. Any savings people have are going to start going away, and more money is going to be spent. It will appear good on the stock market and investors will think something good is coming. It's attacking the current business evaluation in our country; that is, it's trying to re-evaulating what makes something good for the economy. Right now, it's pure and simply measured by profits.

Hey Em.  Didn't want to bring this up in the Apollo thread in the GD board, but can you recognize that there are things that can improve humanity that the private sector won't do on it's own?  Somethings should transcend profit margins.
Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

Where you watching that interview with the aaaaaaaaaastronaut last night?

BTW, private space flight is fast surpassing NASA crap.

Don't have TV, so no on the interview.

As for NASA vs. everybody else?  Irrelevant.  Not the question I asked.

I was in a McD when it was on... really bad channel, had some dumbass saying, "and that's why I really hate the libertarian party," talking about healthcare, right after he totalllllly misrepresented libertarian views.

Anyway, not everything is driven by profits, like... charities! Which include scientific endeavors, or things done for pure knowledge or truth! Seriously, open your eyes man, many, many unprofitable things are done right now in the private sector.

I don't know. Sometimes we say we advance too fast, sometimes we say we're moving too slow. We never seem to know why. We sometimes think that the greater good is the option, and we must pursuit quickly and at all costs. I happen not to agree with. I've quoted this before, but I never get tired of repeating what Mary Shelley wrote:

A human being in perfection ought always to preserve a calm and peaceful mind, and never to allow passion or a transitory desire to disturb his tranquillity. I do not think that the pursuit of knowledge is an exception to this rule. If the study to which you apply yourself has a tendency to weaken your affections, and to destroy your taste for those simple pleasures in which no alloy can possibly mix, then that study is certainly unlawful, that is to say, not befitting the human mind. If this rule were always observed; if no man allowed any pursuit whatsoever to interfere with the tranquillity of his domestic affections, Greece had not been enslaved; Caesar would have spared his country; America would have been discovered more gradually; and the empires of Mexico and Peru had not been destroyed.
