My favourite Twitterer is Norm MacDonald. Before he got Sports Show he was live-tweeting watching shit on TV... hilarious.

Re: Billionaire funding artificial libertarian islands
In other words, pre-enlightenment, pre-renaissance Europe. So ... the fuckin' dark ages.no welfare, looser building codes, no minimum wage, and few restrictions on weapons."

I'm not sure what else I can say to show why I think that view of things is mistaken... and likewise, you've said a few things there that you assume are obviously true, but they aren't obvious (if they were, everyone would see that they were true), and I don't think they're true either.

Re: Irresistible Force
Coldpay aren't horrible, they're just a different style of music...

Re: Republican Debate 8-11-11
Well, the point is more that it's almost impossible to agree on everything that should be "cut" from federal programs. The "principled" position that Ron Paul and like-minded folk take (included Obama on gay rights, by the way) of "states' rights" sounds good when it's applied, say, to frontier cult...

Re: Irresistible Force
I also agree with a sentiment expressed by Perry, that a band/person is lucky if they ever write ONE great song... and JA wrote at least four (Jane Says, Ted, Then She Did, Three Days)... So I can't expect Perry, Dave, and Steven to be held up to that standard anymore... It's a very conservative, an...

Coldpay aren't horrible, they're just a different style of music... and that's what's disturbing about JA 3.0... it shouldn't be called JA precisely because it's not proto-alternative punk-prog-funk-metal fusion. It's straightforward adult contemporary "rock", which is what Coldplay and U2 excel at....

Re: Republican Debate 8-11-11
As I said in the other thread, even though I dislike him (for both reasons and non-reasons), he sometimes says things I agree with, though almost always for different reasons, which is interesting in itself. I'm for individual liberty, but I have a different conception of liberty than Paul does. His...

Re: What politician do you hate the most?
I don't think anyone can actually believe we should do all the things he's said we should do, over the years, and I also think he knows less about the subjects he talks about than he portrays himself as knowing. It's not so much that he's disingenuous and all other politicians aren't... in fact, he ...

I don't have time or energy to hate any politician(s), but I do have more or less respect for lots of them. The politician I respect the least is Ron Paul. I find him disingenuous and painfully one-track. Here's a good example of Ron Paul probably convincing a lot of people of something that isn't t...

I'm going to continue to disagree with you about Hitler. I don't think he was anything more than slightly above average, intelligence-wise, if that.
