    Political Affiliation

    Don't listen to that guy. You can't be an anarchist and libertarian. Anarchism as a political philosophy is diametrically opposed to capitalism. http://www.infoshop.org/AnarchistFAQSectionF If you have other questions about the (actual) poltical philosophy of anarchy, go...

    5 major ISPs roll out the "six strikes" policy regarding illegal downloads.

    Your example only shows that if you take for granted the idea that information can be stolen at all, but that's circular. The validity of the law is very much dependent upon that bit of philosophy that you're not interested in discussing. Why? Piracy isn't the thing that requires justification...

    5 major ISPs roll out the "six strikes" policy regarding illegal downloads.

    If any information can be "stolen" then sure. I'm not convinced of the premise.

    5 major ISPs roll out the "six strikes" policy regarding illegal downloads.

    What about the fact that once "taken" the original good remains? I mean no one is arguing that content producers should be forced to bear the actual costs of piracy, right?

    If you think that not being willing to accept that means they're unreasonable, then you're dumb.

    Gun control

    I was assuming that he didn't literally mean like...chopping down trees with bullets, but more like just unloading the machine gun out in the middle of nowhere. Thatwouldbe irresponsible, but not for gun reasons. I could see that being a bit of a conflict of interest when it came to stuff like...

    Oh that's what you're still crying about? Yeah sorry for thinking that pointing to minority racial status as acausalfactor in gun violence is racist.

    Werewolf signup thread

    Heh. Well I think this works better as a forum game. The paranoia and behind-the-scenes scheming it produces can be a huge amount of fun.

    Werewolf signup thread

    For the uninitiated, Mafia (or Werewolf) is a game about a small number of informed players working against a larger number of uninformed players. At the start of the game, players are assigned a role (villager or werewolf). The werewolves will get a PM with the names of all the other...

    I'm interested in running this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_(party_game) I've got several special roles in mind, but they will depend on how many people are interested. If we get enough people, the game will start next week with the first "night" commencing monday (2/4/13) at 9:00 pm...

    lol That's a good angle to play. It's certainly a lot smarter than trying to actually argue with me.

    Oh and since I know you're curious, the thing you're still butthurt about is when I pushed your shit in on your dumbfuck proclamations about voter ID.

    What I think is that you're butthurt but too dumb to actually defend what you think.

    Nothing? Yeah, that's what I thought.

    Well at this point I have to just assume that you're too incompetent to actually argue whatever "logic" is bouncing around in that head of yours.

    My pick for worst recurring ST character has to be Q. Omnipotent and petty doesn't make any fucking sense. There's a whole fucking universe out there. Why is this part of this galaxy of any interest whatsoever? "Humans are special." No they're not. Fuck you. Also having a character that...

    Gun control

    It's not hypocrisy, it's just apotentialmoral hazard and one that's kind of silly to accuse him of falling into since gun control wasn't at all part of his agenda until Sandy Hook (which was obviously well after he had secret service protection).

    Which is why the president has the Secret Service instead of just "armed guards." That's not even remotely the same thing. It's onlybecauseof the Secret Service that he doesn't have to personally face the threat. The threat is extremely real and extremely serious in spite of that (which is...

    The 'in theory" part is part of why the president's family is at greater risk (the other parts are political retribution and the ever-present threat of crazy).
