Herman Cain: "I am suspending my campaign."

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has suspended his campaign in the wake of charges of past sexual harassment and extramarital affairs - and increasing questions about his basic knowlege of U.S. politics and world affairs.

The Wash Post on his announcement.

For the record, we called this when Ginger White first went public.

Reason on the Cain train.

With Cain gone, it's time to re-take the Reason GOP presidential candidate quiz. Answer nine quick questions to see which Republican aspirant is your true political love. Bonus points if you end up picking Cain.

Well, that's more debate face-time and media coverage for Romney and Gingrich I guess. I'm praying Ron Paul wins Iowa so the media can't ignore him and he'll get serious candidate status from the media.

[jacob]

Not sure this is helpful for Ron Paul's campaign. Was better to have the so-cons split their primary votes between Perry and Cain and Gingrich and Santorum. Now I think more will flock towards one of the three big so-cons and make them harder to beat in the primaries.

OTOH, Cain's departure means less competition, which is good in its own right.

You make it sound like a zero sum game, rather than a battle of ideas and principles (such as they are).

I appreciate the comment.

The battle for the hearts and minds of GOP primary voters was lost a long time ago. If you are ever on Free Republic (Btw I recommend you head over there now-the Cain threads are a hoot) you will see that the good majority of Team Red views Ron Paul as an "anti-semitic anti-American homosexual loving racist." Do you think these folks are amenable to ideas and principles? Me neither. We need to focus on winning pure numbers in the primaries. If we can get the socon/neocon/whatever vote to split, perhaps Dr. Paul can win a few primaries and build momentum.

Voters are a fickle bunch. Back in March, the overwhelming tide of support on FR, Towhhall, etc. was (I shit you not) for either Donald Trump or Sarah Palin.

[Episiarch]

Ah, TEAM RED. Just as disgusting as TEAM BLUE, but in their own particular way.

[JW]

I dunno Epi, TEAM BLUE is pretty fucking repulsive. They may even out shithead the Stupid Party these days just through sheer mendacity and their foot soldiers' desire to usher in a Forth Reich.

[Episiarch]

When you say the Stupid Party, I'm unsure who you're referring to. It could be either TEAM RED or TEAM BLUE. You need to be more specific.

[Robert]

AFAIK Bill Buckley Jr. was the 1st to use the term, by which he meant the Republicans.

[Chatroom Crank]

I thought it was Sam Francis. The Demos were the evil party and the Repubs were the stupid party. Now of course we just have one stupid evil party.

[Britt]

GOP is the Stupid Party

Dems are the Evil Party

[Proprietist]

That order could easily be reversed. Most Democratic voters stupidly believe that their politicians are just being nice to minorities and the poor when they are using them as political pawns, while Republicans luv ethnic profiling and gay bashing. I'd say it's a draw. We have two stupid, evil parties.

[Sevo]

Ah, a program! Now I know the players.

[The Disinterested]

Excellent! Voting is dumb and pointless and a waste of time. Representative government is a myth. The people are stupid and disgusting! If only The Elite (you and I) could gain power...then we'd show 'em!

The one thing Team BLUE has in favor is that they are openly statist scumbags.

Team RED talks a good game about small government principles, but when it's time to act they're nothing but government goons themselves.

Because there is a difference?

Most guns would be conservatives, bar none.

The best ones would be the government.

Either way, I'm more along the lines of thinking of sitting out all of the action unless I am directly threatened at home (or wherever I may be).

There are those neocons who earnestly believe that he who opposes more warfare and welfare for the Jewish state is he who is anti-semetic.

Team Blue is hatin' on him before the ink is dry, as well:

I haven't seen the phrase "House Nigger" in that DU thread, but then I didn't read all of it, nor all of the Cain threads on DU... surely, someone there has said it, as that figures into their overall character.

[mad libertarian guy]

Feel free to substitute "Lawn Jockey" for house nigger. They use it ALL THE TIME when referring to a black person who deigns to NOT vote mindlessly for Team BLUE.

And I'm supposed to believe that we're the racist ones.

[Amakudari]

House nigger = 1,320 results
Lawn jockey = 4,490 results

[I Heart Capitalisms]

RP's popularity with actual anti-semites isn't helping. Just go see the big wall of neo-Nazi commentary on the reason story about the RJC not inviting RP.

For someone who professes to not be a bigot, you sure have a problem with black people.

[Mr. FIFY]

Just come out and use the word "racist", Tony... since you can't read a fucking dictionary, go for the words with the most gusto.

[mad libertarian guy]

I don't think that was Tony.

[Tulpa]

The commenters at Free Republic are not a representative sample of Republican voters any more than the commenters at You Tube are a representative sample of humanity.

[Skip]

Free Republic never got over the fact that they aren't a big deal anymore for conservatives. I got banned there for saying a few nice things about Giuliani in 2007.

[SIV]

Here, you would have been rightly mocked and ridiculed.

[Eduard van Haalen]

They should have stuffed a plunger...no, just kidding.

[Ted S.]

Why would you say anything nice about Giuliani?

Well, I suppose you could say that at least he's not Bloomberg, but that's not much.

[Skip]

I said he'd be better than McCain or something. It was definitely damning him with faint praise but they still reacted like I was suggesting Barney Frank for Pope.

[Old Man With Candy]

Hey, Barney and Benny do share a hobby.

[Amakudari]

you will see that the good majority of Team Red views Ron Paul as an "anti-semitic anti-American homosexual loving racist." Do you think these folks are amenable to ideas and principles?

Sure they are. They hate Arabs and queers. As a matter of principle, Paul's a non-starter.

[Xenocles]

How silly of him.

[SIV]

Ron Paul is a SoCon you dumbass. Why do you think he is doing so well in Iowa?

[jacob]

SoCon who allowed gays in the military and is in favor of legalizing drugs? You don't have a fucking clue dipshit.

I'm quite sure if you polled evangelicals they'd find Paul too liberal on social issues with the exception of abortion.

[SIV]

You make rocks look smart Jacob. Ron Paul represents a very conservative district in Texas and the evangelicals send him back to Congress every two years. The Iowa Caucuses are essentially a test of who is the most Christian Conservative, Paul is polling a very close second.

[Mike E]

I think there is a difference between having socially conservative values and being a social conservative in terms of government policy preferences.

Paul has socially conservative values, but doesn't see the federal government as a tool to force those values onto others.

[SIV]

Who has more success forcing their values onto others with government force?

SoCons or Progressives?

One of the above political factions largely emerged in response to the other.

[Mike E]

I don't disagree with that statement at all. But what does that have to do with Ron Paul being socially conservative?

[SIV]

He holds socially conservative positions that appeal to socially conservative voters. There aren't a bunch of atheist,fixed-gear bike riding, Whole Foods-shopping, cosmotarian pole-smokers putting him at the front in the Iowa caucuses.

[jacob]

There aren't a bunch of atheist,fixed-gear bike riding, Whole Foods-shopping, cosmotarian pole-smokers putting him at the front in the Iowa caucuses.

And since he doesn't appeal to evangelicals, that simply proves your premise wrong. There are plenty of non-socons who are voting for Paul you fucking halfwit.

[nah-nah]

[Ron Paul] allowed gays in the military

Paul ... doesn't see the federal government as a tool to force those values onto others.

Contradiction.

Progressives have craved the kind of power that the military indoctrination system has so that they can mold people's attitudes as they see fit. Gays in the military is about gays in the military in the same way that legalizing medical marijuana is about legalizing medical marijuana.

Gays in the military just gives progressives control over the military indoctrination system so that they can harass, bully and punish recruits, most of whom come from socially conservative families, into renouncing the values they were raised with ... and Paul supported it.

[I, Kahn O'Clast]

Worked pretty well vis-a-vis racism against blacks, so if this is really true, sounds like a good plan.

[shorter I, Kahn O'Clast]

If they don't believe, make them believe.

[not so fast]

if this is really true, sounds like a good plan.

It may be an effective plan, but it is not a good plan, at least not to a libertarian. Coercion is coercion and won't stop with whatever your particular goals are.

[I, Kahn O'Clast]

So was racial integration coercion to your mind? If not, why not and how is this different? From the perspective of 50 years in the future the current anti-gay lobby is going to look as in the wrong as those fellows in the bedsheets and pointy hats of yesteryear.

One could argue that exclusion is also coercion, no?

[Cytotoxic]

A+ spoof

[jacob]

Gays in the military just gives progressives control over the military indoctrination system so that they can harass, bully and punish recruits, most of whom come from socially conservative families, into renouncing the values they were raised with ... and Paul supported it.

So...the libertarian stance would have been to not allow gays to serve openly? Using your "logic," would that not just punish the gays and give control to the socially conservatives so they could bully and punish gays?

See how fucking stupid your argument is?

[BoscoH]

Which remaining candidate will now claim to be black enough to beat Obama?

[Michelle Bachmann]

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

"Blackness" is not sexually transmitted, Michelle, regardless of what Glenn Rice told you.

Or was that Palin?

[Veemee Sashimi]

That was Palin. That was a "scandal" that revealed more about the publisher of the "scandal" than any of the participants. Rice, in particular, had very nice things to say about Palin when asked about it.

Most of what I've read about Palin suggests she's a decent human being, who unfortunately is politically naive, and was completely unprepared for the spotlight a vice-presidential run gave her. Maybe the spotlight has changed her in some not so good ways.

But when you dig into someone's past as much as hers has been dug into and come up with so little damning info, it generally speaks well of a person. Very few of us would come away as relatively unscathed under such a microscope.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

I assure you I wouldn't come out looking as good as Palin.

And as far as "unprepared" goes, the media zeroed in on her and gave Barry O and Crazy Joe a pass. Had they dug as deeply into their pasts as they did hers, they would have come across as poorly as she did.

[Tulpa]

I'll give you BO, but Biden's foibles have been fairly public for the past couple of decades.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Except that during the 2008 campaign, Biden's foibles were cute and every error Palin made was the lede for the nightly news.

[mad libertarian guy]

It depends on what is meant by "looking good".

I openly embrace my past, all of it, and am not ashamed of anything in it, yet many would decry my having smoked a shitload of pot like it's a bad thing.

Well, shit... the libs are the biggest winners here. They can lie to themselves about it, but they were afraid Cain might - emphatically might - be the challenger to Barry the Jaunty Future King, and Gaia knows they'd be soooo pissed about having more than one black person on the ticket.

How they tolerated Cynthia McKinney, is most puzzling. (speaking of racist Jew-haters... she has Ron Paul beat by several light-years on those points.)

I also don't buy the "Cain wasn't too bright" argument. Was Obama an expert in foreign and domestic affairs?

Not that I want Team Red to win anymore than I want Team Blue to win, mind you...

[Tony]

For a non-bigot you sure are obsessed with people's skin color.

[Mr. FIFY]

Of course you won't admit how nervous your Team was about the prospect of two black men at the top of the Team tickets, because you're a disingenuous schmuck who can't read a dictionary entry properly.

[Mr. FIFY]

I'll even help narrow it down for you:

especially : one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or ethnic group) with hatred and intolerance

You went to college... surely, you can read a sentence and comprehend it.

[Tony]

No polling suggested that Hermain Cain was a threat to Obama, especially among black voters. Republicans may have used Herman Cain in an inept attempt to fool black voters, but ask any Democrat and he'll say he imploded spectacularly way too early.

But it's nice to know that black people in the minds of the GOP have graduated from being a subject of contempt to easily manipulated political pawns.

it's a poor spoof especially considering the fact that the UC davis cops were clearly justified based on the latest video, when everybody - EVEN ME were willing to call it excessive force. granted, i qualified it with - BASED on what i saw in the video, but still...

this sounds like a sloopy post since he's so butthurt from being so soundly bitchslapped that he has to troll with somebody else's name

here.. what ACTUALLY happened at UC Davis leading up to the pepper spraying

yet another case of alleged police brutality vindicated by video evidence

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhPdH3wE0_Y&sns=fb

of course the bigorati won't watch this video and reassess based on a much more complete picture...

god forbid...

[Brandon]

Giving verbal warning that you are going to commit brutality does not amount to justification for the brutality. Pepper spraying people for failure to follow unlawful orders is not justified, and the fact that you think it is is just pathetic. Stop trying to defend the indefensible, admit that the police fucked up, and you might have some credibility.

[Tulpa]

Except the orders weren't unlawful.

[Apatheist]

All that video confirmed is that the cops were a bunch of giant pussies. Unlike some of the other situations there was absolutely no violent conduct by the protesters. It was textbook non-violent resistance. The editor of the video seems to believe that if you are warned that you will be brutalized then that makes it ok. So what if they were surrounded, wait it out, or step over them, or lock arms and walk out. Let the protesters do something violent first.

I will say this though the protesters got exactly what they wanted. Doesn't mean that the cops had to give it to them.

[short Apatheist]

Cops are always wrong. Protestors can prevent cops from doing their jobs. I hate cops.

[Mad Scientist]

He said no such thing. He said that warning someone you're going to use violence against them doesn't make that violence excusable. The dishonesty you're displaying says as lot.

[short Nad Scientist]

I hate cops too. Filthy copseses.

[Mad Scientist]

It's very likely your local community college offers remedial reading courses.

[Tulpa]

Mad Scientist, that's not all Apatheist said. He claims the protesters were being "nonviolent", which is false. If one believes in property rights, refusing to leave upon being ordered to do so by agents of the property owner is an act of violence.

[Apatheist]

Please elaborate for me who the property owner was here Tulpa? Even if you argue that a public campus is different then the students would be included in those people allowed to be there. Of all the Occupy "settlements" the ones on college campuses are the ones that least need to be cleared.

[Tulpa]

It was textbook non-violent resistance.

If a person is lying down across an aisle of a grocery store, blocking people from pushing their carts, and the manager asks them to get up and leave, is that "non violent resistance"?

[Apatheist]

Yes because a person in a private grocery store is the same as a student on a public campus. Derp.

[Maxxx]

Yes because a person in a private grocery store is the same as a student on a public campus. Derp.

Can all publicly owned place be occupied indefinitely or only UCs?

If the former, someone should pitch tents in the Congressional buildings and White House.

[Apatheist]

I would argue that the students should be able to occupy their own campus yes. Besides what was being debated here was whether the pepper spraying was justified not whether the the tents should have been cleared out. This is an important distinction because the tents had already been cleared out without incident. This was after that.

[Apatheist]

And yes it would be non-violent resistance. It would still be resistance and trespassing but not violent.

[longer Apatheist]

All non-violent resistance is allowed. My friends and I could form a human chain around a cop, working in shifts to eat and sleep. The cop would have to remain passive, taking no action as he slowly died of thirst.

I hate cops. They are always wrong. Everything they do is wrong. But if a burglar breaks into my house at night, I'll still pee my pants with fear, dial 911 and expect the cops, whom I hate and denigrate any chance I get, to show up to protect me.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

If a person is lying down across an aisle of a grocery store, blocking people from pushing their carts, and the manager asks them to get up and leave, is that "non violent resistance"?

Yes, actually that is the definition of non-violent resistance. Violent resistance would mean they initiate force.

That doesn't change the fact that they are trespassing, but they are absolutely being non-violent.

[mr simple]

The cop actually tried to defend himself by saying he had to punch the man in the face because the guy hid his hands underneath his body. Wow, just wow.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

There is no such thing as a double standard!!! Police routinely reduce driving while hopped up on pills charges and hit and run to "wet and reckless" and routinely allow people to get a change of clothes before booking (because it "wouldn't have been safe to book him in his police uniform"),

Oh, you'll all be happy to know he was placed on **cough** paid **cough** administrative leave and given alternative duties since he wasn't allowed to drive.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhPdH3wE0_Y&sns=fb

i get it. you are butthurt. you don't like cops.

and it affects your ability to be rational and fairminded.

i called the case UNJUSTIFIED based on what i saw in the video. new evidence ? reassess.

otoh, you don't care about facts. you trot out "initiation of force" etc. when that is clearly not the issue under the UOF (not to mention that if a cop has arrestees in custody and is trying to get them from the scene he has a duty to the arresteee as well as himself to get the fuck out of there safely and if you encircle him and claim you won't let him leave unless the cop releases the arrestee and yuo are given multiple warnings and you refuse to abide by them... you are in the wrong. the cop is in the right.)

[Brandon]

Honestly, the protestors should've had sniper cover. If they had given the cops warnings before opening fire, I'm sure Dunphy would be ok with it.

[shorter Brandon]

I hate cops and I don't think.

[Tulpa]

Brandon, you're either trolling or a moron. The solution is the same either way.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

I'm gonna say this one more time, dunphy, and maybe you'll grasp my point.

The cops sprayed people who were not penning them in, were not violently resisting and were totally inactive. Had they tried to leave and sprayed protesters that actively engaged in penning them in, I wouldn't have a problem with it. But that's not what they did, which is clearly evidenced by the fact that you can see cops walking freely in front of as well as behind the people being sprayed.

What the cops did was go after the softest (and incorrect) target in an attempt to instill fear in the people who were actually doing what the cops accused them of (in this case, hemming them in).

And I'm shocked that you haven't come up with a single comment on the two links I posted. Having to actually admit there is abuse and a double-standard is a bitch. Well, admitting that the double-standards or abuse are wrong is a bitch anyway.

[Tulpa]

But that's not what they did, which is clearly evidenced by the fact that you can see cops walking freely in front of as well as behind the people being sprayed.

You really are a fuckstick, sloopy. The cops on one side were coming from a paddywagon OUTSIDE the area that the protesters were surrounding. You can't possibly be too stupid to have noticed that in the video so I'll just assume you're deliberately spouting falsehood. They were NOT the same cops who were trapped inside. No cops crossed between the outside of the human circle and the inside until they used the required force.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

So that must be a ghost I see walking behind the people seated when Pike is hosing them down. And he was there before he started the spraying.

I'm not saying the assholes surrounding the cops don't deserve to have force applied. I am saying that the force was completely unnecessary against the people passively resisting on their asses with cops freely walking in and out of them (both to the front and rear).

I will repeat this slowly: Force was not needed against the people it was used against. It may have been justified elsewhere in the protest, but the people getting sprayed initiated no force, were passively resisting and went readily (if limp) when they were dragged away.

[Tulpa]

The people were seated facing OUTWARD, with their backs to the police who were being corralled. This fact is obvious from watching the video if you weren't so desparate to find something to bitch at the police over.

Take your own vulgar advice that you've been spewing on both threads and "watch the fucking video" before claiming you have evidence of others being wrong.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

From MW: Definition of VIOLENCE

1
a : exertion of physical force so as to injure or abuse (as in warfare effecting illegal entry into a house)

What physical force did the seated people exert?

[Apatheist]

Under Tulpa's definition of violence Ghandi and the civil rights protesters in the 60s were violent. Sitting in a line linking arms is about as non-violent as it gets. The purpose of this is to get the authorities to overreact and initiate violence thereby inspiring sympathy in the public. You would think that campus police officers in this day and age would have figured that out.

[Tulpa]

Sitting in a line linking arms is about as non-violent as it gets.

They weren't in a line, they were in a circle. Around a group of people who wanted to leave the area. While not the dictionary definition of violence, it is an act of coercion.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

The people they sprayed were in a line. The people surrounding the cops in a menacing fashion may have deserved getting sprayed, but the kids sitting with their arms locked did not. The cops chose to spray the people they sprayed in order to intimidate the others who were surrounding them.

Watch this video. If they had him surrounded, why is he stepping from the back of the line of protesters to the front in the first second of the video?

C'mon, Tulpa. You're smarter than this.

[Tulpa]

The people they sprayed were in a line.

Just like the ground appears flat...but the Earth is a sphere. The people who got sprayed were part of one segment of arc of a much larger circle.

That's one cop; it would have been impossible for them all to cross that way, particularly while transporting prisoners.

[fact check]

Ghandi was violent. He encouraged violence if he saw it as useful to achieving his goals. The image of Ghandi as a strict pacifist is a myth.

Some of the civil rights protesters in the 60s advocated violence and were violent. Some of them favored a bloody revolution to completely change American society. The image that all of the civil rights protesters of the 60s were peaceful, well-intentioned individuals bravely fighting for a just society is a myth. It is dangerous when people start believing the fantasy images that construct about themselves, hippie.

[Tulpa]

And you can bet the budding liberals who will write future history books will treat OWS the same way. And the Tea Party as 21st century brownshirts.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

And you can bet the budding liberals who will write future history books will treat OWS the same way. And the Tea Party as 21st century brownshirts.

They already are. Note the way they are being portrayed in real-time by the NYT, WaPo and various TV outlets except FoxNews.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Um, only an abject moron would say the 60's protesters were entirely peaceful. '68 DNC? Bill Ayers?

And none of us are saying violence should not be met with force. What I'm saying here is that the cops used violence against non-violent protesters in this case...while it looks like there are violent protesters all around them where the same actions would have been completely justified.

Are some of you just hell-bent into thinking many of us are against police use of force in every situation?

[Apatheist]

The key word in your sentence is "some" which doesn't change anything I said because I didn't say "every" protester. I haven't constructed any image of myself because I have never participated in any protest of this nature because I think they are a waste of time. I also think that the occupiers are largely a bunch of entitled retards. This doesn't mean I want them to be pepper sprayed like this.

Sloopy is right, you can see in the video that the protesters who actually got sprayed could be and were just stepped over. There weren't any bottles or rocks flying through the air. They weren't fighting back.

[Tulpa]

So when a prowler walks onto your property at 2 AM and stands staring into your kids' rooms windows, you have no right to expel him by force, since he's not using violence by M-W's definition.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

He is trespassing. He needs to be removed with the force required That level of force needs to be determined by his actions.

[Tulpa]

So you're saying that nonviolent activity can be justifiably opposed with force?

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Not at all. I said the level of force used to remove him should be determined by his actions.

If the cops show up to remove him and he sits down and holds his arms out, does he deserve to be beaten or just cuffed? The answer is cuffed.

Conversely, if he takes an offensive stance and balls his fists, he deserves to probably be subdued.

Like I keep saying, these were not the people who probably deserved to be sprayed. That's not to say that others should not have been, but they got the wrong guys.

[Tulpa]

So what level of force would you have considered appropriate to clear the path?

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Drag their limp bodies to the paddywagon. Which is what the protesters wanted them to do in the first place and what ultimately happened.

Then, they could have used the requisite amount of force on the cocksuckers that actually were penning them in.

[Tulpa]

That's the same level of force, perhaps a greater one. Dragging bodies to a paddywagon is likely to result in greater injury than a dose of pepper spray.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

How is pulling their limp body across grass likely to result in injury?

Or two cops carrying them (hands and feet) is more likely to result in injury that spraying them in the face with a chemical agent that is designed to cause physical discomfort?

Sorry, but I've been dragged by a cop or two in my life, always limp, and have never once suffered an injury.

Also, I understand that Paul is going to skip the debate being moderated by the nation's most prominent Birther. I wonder if Romney and Gingrich have even considered the line of attacks by the left that their participation in the Trump event can open up for them down the road? That association though slight may have more of a lasting taint with the general electorate than can be measured or calculated in the polls.

[mad libertarian guy]

Warning: Fire Danger!

Do NOT approach the strawman with any open flame of any kind.

NOTHING clarifies your thoughts on the role of government quite so much as visiting a place that isn't governed.

I once visited such a place under construction in Karachi, Pakistan. A developer was building small concrete row houses on land he didn't own. Electricity came from cables illegally hooked to the nearest power lines. Drinking water came not from plumbing but from delivery trucks. And the children told me they were not attending any school. The nearest thing to the rule of law were the police officers, who collected bribes to pretend that the neighborhood didn't exist.

[mad libertarian guy]

You know. Because without government provided water, electricity, and schools a 3rd world hell hole is imminent.

Nevermind that the vast majority of those in the US don't have government provided water or electricity, or that schools which are NOT provided by government are VASTLY superior in their mission.

Without any of that government provided cheese, people are fucking doomed.

[Sevo]

Yep, without wars, bail-outs, C4C, NHS, S/S, food stamps, etc, why, we'd all DIE!
Did shithead write that?

[Mr. FIFY]

Isn't Inkseep an NPR toady?

[Episiarch]

I've combed the whole thread looking for griefers, and correcting their grief. Not that I care. But fair is fair. Again, I do not care!

[Nooge]

The only effective way to handle a repeat offender troll or serial vandalism on the tubes is to ignore it utterly.

Any response whatsoever, even reverse trolling, only feeds the parasite and makes it stronger.

People who do this kind of shit will post whether or not you reply; the only hope is effective banhammering. After this long, I'm positive that WI and rectal have been banned repeatedly, but IPs are easy to obtain. A dedicated and mentally unbalanced troll can fuck shit up indefinitely unless drastic measures are taken, and I do mean drastic. There's an autistic guy who's been dicking around with Wikipedia for years, and they were finally told that the only way to truly get rid of him would be to pursue legal means to forcibly restrict his ability to access the Internet.

Epi, I'm sure, knows how trolls and vandalizers operate, and he knows what not to do, but rectal and WI (assuming they are different people, something of which I am not convinced) are such stinky, psychotic cunts (or bored Anons, or smelly Mac-using Occutards) that it's difficult not to indulge the desire to fist-fuck them to death.

That is all. I'll not be speaking of this again.

[mad libertarian guy]

So if the Occutard was using a PC, it'd be okay?

[Mad Scientist]

There was an "or" in there. rectal is most likely a stinky, psychotic cunt.

[Mad Scientist]

This is a lot like graffiti. If you don't immediately get rid of it, you'll just attract more. We either need registration to post, or some poor admin will have to sit around for several weeks reading every post and removing anything Godesky writes. He ain't going away so long as he can get his giggles trashing the place.

[tarran]

Reason could get rid of rectal in two seconds by eliminating comment threading and putting a spam filter in the comment posting code.

I'm not sure why they choose to keep her around - I figure it's some bizarre sociological experiment in emerging order.

[Mad Scientist]

I love to see comment threading go away. But I don't see how a spam filter is going to work without generating a lot of false positives.

[SIV]

Ending threading would solve everything.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Enforcing their private property rights and banning IP addresses that do nothing but continually troll would be OK with me.

[Clever trolling, Nooge]

That is all. I'll not be speaking of this again.

Dunno about your brother, but most everyone I know has a WBIL (woo brother in law).
My WBIL would be 'way more acceptable if his worst interest was Trump.

[Mike E]

My brother is a conservative. I think he is too nationalistic, and he thinks that I am too individualistic.

[Sevo]

Mike,
You're lucky. My WBIL actually believes (as far as I can tell) that people lived to an age of 400 years in 'biblical times' (whatever that means).

[Mike E]

I feel for you. I am an atheist. And while I try my damnedest to not be an asshole Dawkins type atheist, if that were my brother-in-law it would be practically impossible to avoid.

[Mr. FIFY]

Liberals hate people who are "too individualistic", too. It's a trait they share with so-cons.

[Conservatives/Fibertards hate]

...people with empathy.

[Mike E]

...people with empathy.

I can empathize with someone's troubles. Hell, I might even help them out. But, the government putting a gun to my head forcing me to do so is wrong. Those who believe that the government can and should steal from me to give to someone else are really the people with real morality issues - particularly envy.

Can't believe I am going to say this, but bring on the Chapman article already, that is a Monday morning this I believe.

Seriously, if the National Title Game is Alabama v. LSU, the BCS needs to be ended. It should have happened years ago, but then it wasn't a "problem" in the eyes of the big schools because it only effected little shit asses like Boise State or Utah. But now it is hurting the big schools, and if they don't demand a playoff, then I will cease to have any respect for D-1 college football as a "sport".

Seriously, if that bullshit is our title game, I will burn down the house of every single Harris Poll voter. Also... JESUS FUCKING CHRIST. D2 and D3 have a 24 team playoff, and they still manage to give their teams 11 regular seasons games. So stop it with this, "Can't do it, sorry boss" bullshit. No, you don't WANT to do it, because the current system benefits the traditional powers and makes the new power assimilate into the system to succeed.

[Legit Property is long honored]

...by Non-State societies.

Making vast claims upon the Home Planet's resources requires Statist aggression to enforce. Property that requires the State to enforce is illegitimate and thus better termed "privation property."

The first man who, having enclosed a piece of ground, bethought himself of saying This is mine, and found people simple enough to believe him, was the real founder of civil [-ization, or city-statist] society. From how many crimes, wars, and murders, from how many horrors and misfortunes might not any one have saved mankind, by pulling up the stakes, or filling up the ditch, and crying to his fellows: Beware of listening to this imposter; you are undone if you once forget that the fruits of the earth belong to us all, and the earth itself to nobody.

Visceral obesity: a "civilization syndrome".

Obesity Research [1993, 1(3):206-22]

Abstract
...The multiple central endocrine and nervous aberrations of visceral obesity suggest neuroendocrine dysregulations, and have features characteristic of the hypothalamic arousal seen after certain types of stress, alcohol intake, and smoking. Such factors can be traced to subjects with visceral fat accumulation. Standardized stress, eliciting a "defeat reaction" in primates is followed by an apparently identical syndrome. This integrated picture of the multiple symptoms of visceral obesity is based on epidemiological, clinical, experimental, cellular, and molecular evidence. The ingredients of positive energy balance, including physical inactivity, stress, smoking, and alcohol consumption are frequent features of modern, urbanized society. Visceral obesity may therefore be an expression of a "Civilization Syndrome."

"Although few liberals believe in the cultural superiority of the American people, 73% of Democrats in a 2010 USA Today/Gallup poll believe that its "history and its Constitution" make the United States "the greatest country in the world." This is the view of American exceptionalism held by Obama. As he stated in a 2009 news conference in Strasbourg, France, "I think we have a core set of values that are enshrined in our Constitution, in our body of law, in our democratic practices, in our belief in free speech and equality, that, though imperfect, are exceptional."

Contemporary liberals support a larger, more activist role for government at home and abroad because they trust that the competing branches of government will limit the influence of what James Madison called "factions." Expecting the government to usually "do the right thing" because of its institutional constraints, liberals are more comfortable giving it a larger role in our lives.

Liberals extend the principles of limited government to the international arena. Believing that a leader needs followers, and that followers will only follow if the leader can be trusted, liberals embrace multilateralism.

It is only by creating opportunities for other countries to voice their preferences and to shape American policy through joint decision-making that other countries will accept the unique leadership status of the United States, they believe. In this view, the United States can and should welcome limits on its freedom of action abroad -- just as it does at home. According to the Pew Research Center poll, 57% of liberals believe the United States should get United Nations approval before using military force, while only 38% of conservatives say this is an important step."

Should we MRI-check the affect of Ayn Rand novels and KOCHsucker Reason articles for suppression of natural human empathy, compassion, and altruism?

My ability to have empathy allows me to imagine your state of mind and your emotions, and doing those two things makes me hate you, because you are such a wretch. "Putting myself into your shoes" fills me with disgust for you, because your interior life is so vile.

My compassion for the rest of the world makes me want you to shut up and die in a fire - once again precisely because I have empathy and know you do well.

It would be altruistic for me to blow you up with a Predator drone, because of all the good that would do the world. But I am not an altruist, so I guess that's out.

Advocacy of increased state involvement in the activities of individuals does not necessarily equate to empathy, compassion or altruism. In fact, in many cases, those pining for a more powerful government do so while ignoring the oppression that comes with it.

Former UN climate chief blames world leaders for failing to guide climate talks.

Yvo de Boer said he left his job as the U.N.'s top climate official in frustration 18 months ago, believing the process of negotiating a meaningful climate agreement was failing. His opinion hasn't changed.

"I still have the same view of the process that led me to leave the process," he told The Associated Press Sunday. "I'm still deeply concerned about where it's going, or rather where it's not going, about the lack of progress."

...

Many Americans, he said, have still not bought into the "green story," he said. In the meantime, the U.S. is losing a competitive edge against China, which is investing heavily to shift the course of its economy ? from which it will benefit regardless of the global warming issue, he said.

China can also draw on a large population of virtual slave labor to develop those industries. The US will never be able to keep up, no matter how many sub-literate mestizos US businesses recruit.

The real amazing thing here is that even if China produces this brilliant tech (ha), the US can still copy it a few years later. Welcome to what Japan did to US cars, or Americans did to cell phones. What, will we be expected to recognize Chinese copyright laws, were they to exist?

It was really the fault of Il Duce.

There is truth to this; however, I'm pretty sure when you have disease afflicted, starving soldiers with morale in the loo after witnessing their comrades mowed down, a brutal Russk winter would be perfect to hasten the survivors' demise.

Violent Video Games Alter Brain Function in Young Men

Sustained changes in the region of the brain associated with cognitive function and emotional control were found in young adult men after one week of playing violent video games, according to study results presented by Indiana University School of Medicine researchers at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America.

And 'changes' must equal 'on their way to becoming violent psychopaths' right dipshit?

You know what else changes the structure of the brain? FUCKING EVERYTHING. Your brain is always changing, although I suspect yours mainly goes from manic to depressed to back again.

[An Engineer]

Yet another Social Science study that proves nothing but is topped with a this "may" be meaningful over a long period of time. Of course, we have zero data to prove anything about the long term effects. So we don't have any actual significant data, but we can trust the media to pretend it does thanks to confirmation bias. And it makes it easier for us to get future gov funding to get to play video games.

[You no likee MRIs?]

[veemee sashimi]

My understanding is that the violence level of the games have nothing to do with these changes. That the same thing happens playing FIFA or some other game requiring quick hand eye reactions.

[Apatheist]

If you read the article you'll notice how retardedly unscientific this study was.

First there were only 28 participants. No matter what they found 28 is a statistically insignificant number.
14 were instructed to play violent video games for a week then none for a week. The control group were told not play any games for two weeks. As you pointed out this study doesn't show that it was the violent character of the game that made the difference because they didn't even compare it to nonviolent games.

They didn't do any kind of analysis of other differences between the men that could have an effect. They let them do it at home and self report their participation. This makes me highly skeptical.

Finally, their claim that "these findings indicate that violent video game play has a long-term effect on brain functioning," is a blatant lie on its face. They didn't study long term effects only the effect of one week of play with a one week lag. One week is not fucking long term.

[Mitt Romney's policy positions]

[Cytotoxic]

The Pink Flamingo is basically an unapologetic neo-con!

For those of us who have learned all there is to know about life from Star Trek, the voice of logic, intellect, and reason is not necessarily the best solution to the problem.

[dunphy]

in this way, neoconnery is much like love...

it means never having to say you're sorry...

"oh, that pesky little iraq war thang... i'm NOT sorry"

[Trail of Tears]

Libertarian sophistry means never having to say you're sorry...

"oh, that pesky little North American Genocide thang... i'm NOT sorry"

"[The Native Americans] didn't have any rights to the land ... Any white person who brought the element of civilization had the right to take over this continent."

~Ayn Rand, US Military Academy at West Point, March 6, 1974

[heller]

Oh no! He quoted Ayn Rand! Fuck we're doooooooomed.

Take your meds Jason.

[An Engineer]

This garbage is supposed to actually have meaning? This article is the sort of thing put in bags and set on fire on people's front steps as a joke.

[Tony]

But both libertarians and Objectivists are moved by the mania of a single idea ? a freedom indistinguishable from selfishness.

Yup. Strange how it doesn't appeal to more people (who apparently should not act altruistically, even for selfish reasons). It's license to do as little as possible for society while asking from it the maximum liberty.

[Mr. FIFY]

A liberal talking about altruism... now, that's a knee-slapper.

[lurker]

It's license to do as little as possible for society while asking from it the maximum liberty.

Since liberty is the default condition of people, what you're saying is "It's license to do as little as possible for society because you ask as little as possible in return." That's an even trade.

Real selfishness is using the advantage of firepower and numbers to wring money out of people to pay for things they don't want and act against their interests, like paying the salaries of police to ruin lives for possessing drugs and hurting nobody, or paying the salaries of politicians who take bribes to craft the law to suck away any money that the little guy might have left and give it to special interests.

[Tony]

How is liberty the default condition of people? Which people? Not people when they're born, who are absolutely dependent. Not the majority of people in the history of civilization, who've lived under autocrats of one form or another.

So who? Sounds like it's something you want but don't want to work for. In other words, you want all of us to pay for the type of civilization that allows you maximum liberty, and you want to bitch about having to pay too.

[Mr. FIFY]

So... liberty, bad?

[Cytotoxic]

Sort of slightly on topic (campaigning and elections): Putin's party (United Russia) is doing much worse than expected according to exit polls. So bad actually that UR might not get a majority. This would change the Russian political dynamic completely. The 'opposition' parties of yesterday were complacent and integral parts of the system because they knew their place. If they do well this election, expect them to start feeling their oats. The system may start to break down.

[protefeed]

That would "change the Russian political dynamic completely" in the sense that Putin would have to steal the election rather than winning it.

His guys count the ballots, and no way is he going to give up his stranglehold on power.

[Res Publica Americana]

Assume United Russia eats dirt and Putin flunks, a rainbow of everything from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation to Fatherland-type quasi-fascists takes over. What a fantastic alternative.

I think nuclear holocaust would be preferable. Don't you?

[Xenocles]

Maybe you get both.

[pffftttt]

If they do well this election, expect them to start feeling their oats.

And to get detained or massacred.

The system may start to break down

Detentions and massacre is the Russian system.

[Cytotoxic]

^^^All above

Yes these bad things could happen. Mass repression could happen although I think Russia can hardly afford internal strife given its deep involvement in a lot of 'near abroad' shit form Syria to the Caucusus to Belarus. Or they could just neglect those things and Russia's sphere dies.

I think in the struggle between the various asshole factions, they won't have a choice but to front pragmatism should one of them gain power. In the chaos and lack or organized state repression, the liberal opposition will have a more coherent message and I think will attract a sizeable minority to act as kingmaker.

It is possible asshole ultranationalists take power. I doubt we'll get to the MW2/MW3 scenarios, and I really doubt those guys will get along with the neighbours, most critically China.

But I'm forecasting kinda long.

[crystal balls]

I really doubt those guys will get along with the neighbours, most critically China.

The Russian population is evaporating. Its eastern provinces are being repopulated by the Chinese. Soon Russia will lose territory. The big wildcard is the mountain of nukes that Russia still possesses. Will Russia's leaders get crazy enough to drop a few bombs to keep the dragon at bay? Will they? WILL THEY?

[Maxxx]

What evidence is there that Russia still has (or ever did) a mountain of nukes?

[Alan]

Shut the fuck up, libertards. You have no idea what you're talking about.

[Banjos]

I never thought about it that way before. I am completely taken aback and will now reassess my beliefs.

[PantsFan]

Nope, we're not.

[Banjos]

Alan, I am completely blown away by your superior intellect. Your ideas are so novel to me. Please help lead this lost, ignorant soul out of the land of the blind into the land of the enlightened.

[Alan]

Choke on a dick and die, shit-stain. I'm under no obligation to explain to you why everything libertarians believe is a stupid fantasy, any more than I need to explain to you how to tie your shoes. Some things are so elementary that if you haven't figured them out by now, you're never going to, and so deserve only to be mocked and scorned. Which thankfully the American electorate does with regularity, as your candidates and your positions fail every time.

[Banjos]

Choke on a dick and die, shit-stain.

Alan, Alan, you are going to need to slow down. You are moving far too fast for a simpleton like me. First, please instruct me in the proper way to fellate. Your expertise in the field far exceeds mine.

Yup. Also puns. But sarcasm is the lamest by far. That's why you see so much of it here. Takes no talent whatsoever.

[Red Rocks Rockin]

You'd need a dick to blow first.

[Mr. FIFY]

Are you a retread, Alan, or a *new* unhinged, hate-filled socialist?

[AuH20]

Ugh, Caleb Hannie. You are the opposite of Batman.

[Res Publica Americana]

OT: Am I seriously the only one that found Nolan's Batman movies too empty (literally)? There's no vibrancy to them. They're fun, yeah, but Batman's going to need another reboot, and Christian Bale is pretty mediocre. Will the Spiderman reboot fuck up, or not?

[AuH20]

Total fuck up. The only superhero movie that looks good is The Avengers.

[PS]

Funny, I was just wondering if I was the only one in the universe who found the second Batman movie to be terrible. Typical overly complicated plot and that dude who died was massively overrated.

But I really liked the first one. I thought Nolan managed to cram in a lot of backstory without making it feel at all crammed in, and without being ridiculously contrived. Having a real Batcar and moving away from heavy CGI was a brilliant step in the right direction.

[Blacks = dark "aggressors"]

In short; racialist science is properly not an act of aggression or a cover for oppression of one group over another, but, on the contrary, an operation in defense of private property against assaults by aggressors. ~Murray Rothbard

[Apatheist]

I actually debated this case a lot when it was a big deal. I knew multiple people in college who went out there to protest including my libertarian friend. I don't remember that much but essentially my position was that a lot of teenagers of both races acted like retarded teenagers and it go blown way out of proportion. As more and more information came out it became clear the black teens didn't beat the kid because of the noose but because of other beef. Also the prosecutor in charge was black.

In a just race blind world this never would have been a national news story because kids of all races beat kids of all races all the time for all kinds of reasons. Of course even when proven that this wasn't some massive racial conspiracy the race baiters never apologized (I'm shocked!) and neither did all the liberal jackasses who got pissy with me for being skeptical the whole time. They were all your typical white upper class limousine liberals. My libertarian friend did admit he was wrong as more information came out (he didn't need to apologize because unlike the progressives he can accept skepticism without calling you a racist).

Witty, wise, intelligent libertarian commenters, explain something to me, please, because I simply can't figure it out.

If your values are so self-evident and timeless, found in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, First Principals, etc., then why does no-one but a fringe minority of people subscribe to them?

Why does the American electorate soundly reject your platform and your ideas at every turn? Could it possibly be that your values AREN'T timeless and self-evident, but rather the bullshit fantasy ravings of people who have spent entirely too much time memorizing obscure references from sci-fi novels and television shows, as evidenced by the comments on any of these stories which inevitably devolve into quoting or referencing such works?

Nah, couldn't be...

[rather]

Its similar to farting in a jar. Few do it but many talk about it.

[Funny!]

Every time!

[rather]

Save energy,......

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

I'm going to give you a serious answer:

It's because we believe in ourselves more than you do. We have more faith in human righteousness than you do, and are not afraid to give people freedom because we know they will ultimately respect the liberty of others while you are cowering in fear.

Meanwhile, you are afraid of yourself and those around you, and feel an inherent need to be controlled and to control the rights of others, and are not willing to take responsibility for your own actions and instead want to share the rewards and pitfalls of your mediocrity with the other mediocre people in the world while confiscating the successes of your betters and giving them to the undeserving.

[Alan]

Fascinating insight into the superiority complex of a Nietzschean superman.

How like a liberal you sound. "If only the ignornant masses were as awesome and informed and self-aware as I, they would agree with my point of view!"

Thank the good Lord that there are so few of you; if you think things are bad now, imagine how it'd be in a government run by people as full of themselves and their own self-importance as you just described.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

I never claimed to be one of the betters. I just respect their liberty.

But in all seriousness, I am better than you.

[Alan]

Better than me? I don't know; seems like I would have found a way to mail the beer without getting caught.

HA!

😀

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Yeah, because a state that will not allow me to send my legal property to someone else is sooooo good, right?

That would be a tenet of libertarianism: the ability to transfer property to another owner without fear of government intervention or limitation.

But that's teh evul, right?

[Gojira]

Or...imagine it in a world where government didn't try to "run it" at all, but instead allowed people to do what they wanted until it infringed on someone else's right to do what they wanted.

Unfortunately, the concept of liberty seems beyond your brain capacity.

LOL. Do you have any idea what sorts of injuries are likely to result from quickly and forcibly cuffing someone with zipties, while surrounded by 200

Instead, the cops just wanted some jollies.

This is so stupid you could probably power all the streetlamps in UC-Davis with it. The cops warned the people blocking the sidewalk individually that they were going to be pepper sprayed, several minutes before the event. They shook the canisters in preparation for spraying, again a minute or so before spraying, so that the obstructors had a chance to get out of the way.

They CLEARLY were trying to get the people to leave without pepper spray being necessary.

[Res Publica Americana]

Asshole cops and asshole students, all in a single soup -- grand, ain't it?

[P Brooks]

They shook the canisters in preparation for spraying, again a minute or so before spraying, so that the obstructors had a chance to get out of the way.

Well, that clearly absolves them of any blame.

And, besides, they were obviously perpendicular to the right of way.

[Tulpa]

The cops had every right to pepper spray them immediately, with no warning, after it became clear they were attempting to unlawfully confine the police. I was showing that it was quite clear the cops DID NOT want to have to pepper spray their way out, as MS claimed.

Just like you and I have the right to use force against people who attempt to unlawfully detain us.

[Mr. FIFY]

Gojira copped to making up "Alan". Damn good job he did, too.

[Groovus Maximus]

Dispersing them with pepper spray just makes martyrs of them.

True, that. But it does beg the question "At what point is it no longer acceptable to demonstrate?" I get the right to peacefully assemble in protest, and fully support that, but when do you draw the line? The whole point of protesting something is to be such a thorn in the side of the proponents of what is being protested is to effect change. When the groups turned into nothing more that a real life version of Lord of the Flies, these goofballs found the self-ordering nature of anarchy is not always pretty.

I, for one, am not convinced they have scurried away with tails tucked b'twixt legs; they are merely regrouping via social media and will reemerge when the weather and social climate is a bit more forgiving. Tulpy Poo predicted this and I think he is spot on: Entitlement doesn't go away overnight and, in more and more cases, is proving a terminal condition.

Hell, he's a college professor: he has probably seen the entitled human debris piled up on campus more than many of us.

[Tulpa]

Here in Pittsburgh they don't seem to be camping out (due to the terrain, there frankly isn't enough open, flat space in heavily trafficked areas). They do march through the Oakland neighborhood (where the big colleges are) occasionally, with a police escort, and block traffic on Forbes Ave for several minutes during rush hour as the hundreds of them cross the street.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Then every one of them should be ticketed for jaywalking. Over and over and over again until they can't afford the tickets anymore.

They do not have the right to prevent people from moving freely.

[Tulpa]

The traffic signals were preempted by police officers on foot directing traffic, so they weren't jaywalking.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Then the protesters didn't hold up traffic, the cops did.

Easy problem to solve: you tell the people to stop crossing and when they don't, you ticket them for jaywalking. Wash. Rinse. Repeat until they are broke or don't show up for court, which is contempt.

[Tulpa]

I'm not claiming they were doing anything illegal. I just thought it was annoying and unlikely to win the 99% to their cause.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

I know you weren't. I'm just saying that would be a pretty easy way for the cops to keep the protesters from getting their desired impact.

[chris]

Time and a half pay for pretty easy work baby sitting spoiled but passive over grown brats, that is the desired impact.

[Tulpa]

The whole point of protesting something is to be such a thorn in the side of the proponents of what is being protested is to effect change.

Of course, but the point of "peaceable" assembly is for people to communicate their grievances to passers-by (and in this period of history, to those watching on TV etc), not to completely disrupt the functioning of the surrounding community.

The Tea Party did the former, OWS is in some cases crossing the line into the latter.

[FIFY]

The whole point ... is ... to effect change without going through the hassle of participating in the political system and persuading a majority of people to vote the way you wish them to. It is to allow a tiny number of people to create an excuse for unscrupulous politicians to make changes that are not supported by anywhere near the majority of voters while claiming to be responding to the wishes of the public.

The 60s generation can't die off soon enough.

[Mad Scientist]

The cops had every right to pepper spray them immediately, with no warning, after it became clear they were attempting to unlawfully confine the police.

Be serious, Tulpa. The cop didn't spray the people allegedly surrounding him. He sprayed the idjits sitting on a step. This does nothing to dissipate the tension. If anything, it provokes the others to violence.

[Tulpa]

You're lying. Again.

[Groovus Maximus]

They CLEARLY were trying to get the people to leave without pepper spray being necessary.

I watched the entire video, sans truncation, and I have to admit, Tulpy's right. There is a difference between righteous objection and flat out baiting and the students failed in making that distinction. I do wonder if there is a better way to resolve these situations than aerosol tamale seasoning, however.

Again, what is the tipping point here with principled protestation and a Rousseau inspired mob?

Asshole cops and asshole students, all in a single soup -- grand, ain't it?

Thunderdome, anyone?

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Yes, there were many students baiting the cops Hell, there were obviously protesters penning the cops in. And those fuckers deserved to have force used against them.

That said, the people who were sitting down with arms locked (that Pike stepped over easily in the video I posted) were not engaged in that behavior.

IOW, they used the right amount of force...against the wrong people.

[Tulpa]

Please define "penning the cops in".

By the meaning I understand the phrase to have, the people who got sprayed were doing exactly that.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

I'm pretty sure sitting on the ground with arms interlocked with cops walking in front of you, beside you, around you, behind you and over you isn't.

[Tulpa]

So you're not going to define it.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

OK, I will.

Penning in entails actively preventing the free movement of the officers, including preventing the officers from walking through or around you.

And the people seated clearly do not meet that standard.

[shorter sloopy]

I have no problem forcing cops to physically lift people whom they have arrested over a row of people blocking their way. If the cops were to drop the detainees while do so, I would not blame the cops in any way.

[Tulpa]

Actively? None of the other people were "actively" preventing the cops from egress either, yet you say they were penning them in.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

But they were. They kept moving to stay in the way of the officers.

The ones seated (that Pike walks over easily) were behaving differently.

[Mad Scientist]

Tulpa, I ain't lying. At the beginning of the video he steps over the people sitting on the step. If he's surrounded, those kids sure ain't doing a good job of it. And again, he sprayed the kids sitting on the step, not the group "surrounding" him.

I agree that the little monsters should be arrested. Pepper spraying them was gratuitious.

[Tulpa]

Explain how you're supposed to transport prisoners across that line without risking injury.

Arresting them probably would have resulted in much greater injury to the "kids" (I note that you're infantilizing them).

You guys act like the cops could have just waved a wand and everyone would be arrested. You're wrong.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

If you are dragging one of them in cuffs and others prevent you from doing it, then pull out the spray and use it on the people who are actively preventing you from doing your job.

Again, not opposed to them spraying the assholes penning them in, but these people were not doing that, evidenced in the first second of the video where Pike steps over them pretty easily.

[Tulpa]

Um, you seem to not be considering the mechanical difficulty of dragging a person over a line of people.

Imagine that cop stepping over the penners while dragging a 250 lb bag of salt behind him.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Since that didn't happen, I don't see how you can make that assumption.

And the second a group of people moved to stay in the cop's way when he was transporting someone (whether walking them or dragging them), then that person is actively resisting and is subject to an increased level of force.

[Tsunami Tulpa]

We're talking about regular ordinary cops here, not a bunch of Ndamakong Suhs.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

We're talking about regular ordinary cops here, not a bunch of Ndamakong Suhs.

True, but those fuckers are working in Fullerton already.

[P Brooks]

after it became clear they were attempting to unlawfully confine the police.

It is plainly obvious from their body language, those policemen believed they were in mortal peril. It's a wonder they didn't use lethal force.

Such an admirable display of professionalism and restraint.

[Tulpa]

You know, I'm beginning to come around to this tactic of not using the reply button that you started. It allows you to quote people out of context and put words in their mouths because many readers won't bother to search through the thread looking for the original comment you're replying to.

It has significant advantages for people who seek to push their views in a dishonest fashion.

[Instraspecies Predators]

Contrary to popular belief, the psychopath is not automatically violent. Rather, the psychopath is defined by a near-complete lack of empathy. Robert Hare (who created the widely used "Hare Psychopathy Checklist") describes psychopaths as "instraspecies predators" who use a combination of charisma, manipulation, intimidation, sexuality and violence to satisfy their own desires. The more human qualities of conscience, empathy, remorse or guilt are either completely absent or extremely limited. It must be repeated that the psychopath is not necessarily violent. Indeed, many are not because their lives have never placed them in a position where violence was the only means to satisfy their desires. Many businessmen (and therefore, many politicians) profile as psychopaths because they exhibit the core characteristics or some section thereof.

I'll quote your whole post so you don't think I'm taking you out of context.

It's not my impression that the cops, when they're arresting many many members of a group, carry them off one-by-one to the paddy wagon. They zip tie up a bunch at once, then carry them off. They could have done this easily with the group sitting on the step.

And yes, I am infantalizing them, because they're generally acting like a bunch of infants. The cops are supposed to be the grown-ups in this situation. Instead they acted like the drunken father who kicks the dog.

[Unmasking an Unworkable Theory]

When Rand became ill with lung cancer late in life, she was faced with a similar issue. She knew Oncology care could be expensive and although the years had been relatively kind to Rand in terms of ability to make a living from her words, she opted to forego her convictions. She went on the very same successful, but very socialist program called Medicare. And mind you, this was early 80's dollars, well before the runaway costs we now face from this profit driven system. Rugged individualism turned as rancid as the cancer inside of her.

Rand's convenient ideological amnesia did not represent a death bed conversion, but a measured casting out of principles for self preservation and gain. The ultimate unmasking of an unworkable theory. The simple fact that this woman, with the advantage of wealth and friends in elevated places would not shoulder the responsibility of her own health care, exposed the philosophy for what it was: impractical and brutal.

[AKA libertarianism]

A pervasive pattern of negativistic attitudes and passive resistance to demands for adequate social performance, beginning by early adulthood with Atlas Shrieked and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by four (or more) of the following:

1. passively resists fulfilling routine social tasks
2. complains of being misunderstood and unappreciated by others
3. is sullen and argumentative
4. unreasonably criticizes and scorns authority and government
5. expresses envy and resentment toward those apparently more fortunate political connections
6. voices exaggerated and persistent complaints of personal misfortune at the hands of "collectivists"
7. alternates between hostile defiance and contrition

["unreasonably criticizes"]

= "government must NEVER be criticized, unless it's run by Team Red."

Who holds the contradiction now?

[No...]

...he won't live that life. But he can browbeat and lecture others for not doing it.

[Shackbrah Life!]

[What contradiction?]

The libertards here refuse to consider empirical data by falsely claiming one must live a paleolithic lifestyle to acknowledge its benefits.

The last 50 years of anthropology and archeology have completely destroyed the premises upon which libertarianism rests.

It doesn't matter what lifestyle anybody lives who debunks the Hobbesian mythology.

[So...]

...you espouse the Shackbrah Life, but you don't live it.

No, of course there's a spectrum. No matter where you are on it, it didn't happen automatically, but because of choices humans make. You invoke first principles as an excuse to absolve yourself of the moral horror of your system (convenient, as that system is the justification for everything you want in life).

See "Wages of Destruction", Adam Tooze.
There *was* no viable plan; they were tapped out. *IF* they had captured Moscow in six weeks (as they hoped), they would have, well, captured Moscow. And had to support a garrison in Russia which they couldn't afford.

[Gojira]

Sevo is correct. Remember...Napolean actually did capture Moscow. And it didn't do him a damn bit of good. The Russians just pulled back a few miles, sat down, and sent the Cossacks out to ravage his supply and rear areas until he had to retreat with the coming of winter. Something like less than one quarter of the army that went into Russia came back out of it.

Just leave the Russians alone. They probably cannot be conquered by any conventional means (i.e. short of nuclear devastation), and anything else you're just asking for a bloodbath.

[Sevo]

"Just leave the Russians alone. They probably cannot be conquered by any conventional means (i.e. short of nuclear devastation), and anything else you're just asking for a bloodbath."

No way. The Red Army was short on food, but as far as fighting capability, they could eat scrap iron and shit railroad spikes by that time. Not to mention the sheer concentration of forces they had in central Europe.

Nike this once let their parents blood boiling "Justdoit", because of apotheosis movement gradually loss of the young generation, it has some charisma. Nike is no longer sanctified the perfect symbol, but the violence of their choice.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Funny story: I did get a happy ending in a movie theater while watching Pulp Fiction.

I was too young when Blade Runner came out.

[Mr. FIFY]

I got a happy ending while watching Ace Ventura II, which was the best part of watching said movie.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

What's most impressive is you were able to maintain an erection in a movie about as funny as Schindler's List.

As an aside, I had sex while watching Jaws on Friday night. Didn't miss a second of the movie either.

[Gojira]

Mi esposa actually gets off on that sort of thing. The more blood, guts, and violence in a movie, the more action I get.

I'll come home from work, and she's casually eating a plate of spaghetti & meatballs watching someone being graphically disembowled with power-tools.

Schindler's List was hilarious on MST3K, btw.

[Gojira]

As an aside, I had sex while watching Jaws...

Also, I hope you timed your orgasm with when the shark blew up. Or at the very least, right before you got off, you looked at her and said in a strained voice, "Smile you son of a..."

[Tsunami Tulpa]

Schindler's List had some decent sex scenes iirc.

[Mr. FIFY]

Wow... now that's multitasking. You, sloopy, win one shiny internet.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Chick I was with even asked me to pause it, which I wouldn't do because I said I couldn't find the remote (that I had slid under the couch).

Alas, I didn't make it to the end. I blew up before the shark did.

[Tsunami Tulpa]

I got a happy ending while watching Ace Ventura II

Lemme guess, the rhino "birth" scene.

[Mr. FIFY]

I can't recall exactly when during the movie, as we had ceased to pay attention to it about ten minutes in.

Oh, and this happened in a movie theater. We were sneaky, we were.

[tarran]

Mr FIFY, you have given me yet another reason not to go to movie theatres: Sitting in the splooge of other people.

[Mr. FIFY]

Hey! We were VERY conscientious!

Besides... we left no splooge. She was a swallower.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

Lemme guess, the rhino "birth" scene.

Now that's a meatus!

Oh, and this happened in a movie theater. We were sneaky, we were.

Holy shit, you paid to see that movie?

[Mr. FIFY]

Dollar-theater night, yo. Them was the days.

[Poet Laureate sloopyinca]

You are redeemed.

I fucked this girl a few years ago at a drive-in in Hanford, CA in my 1973 Cadillac Coupe de Ville.

The movie: 10,000 B.C.

[Mr. FIFY]

Well, it's easier to get away with shit in a drive-in, but I'll grant you points for watching that particular movie, in a Caddy.

"I think Tulpa is an Axis and Allies fan."

Do any of the WWII 'games' require consideration of the extant economic facts and variables?

[Gojira]

Hearts of Iron, which Pantsfan referenced above, does.

I tried to play as Japan and lost immediately b/c I couldn't figure out how to use the IJN to protect convoys, and the damned English sank all my merchant ships.

[Sevo]

"I tried to play as Japan and lost immediately b/c I couldn't figure out how to use the IJN to protect convoys, and the damned English sank all my merchant ships."

Well, it wasn't the Brits who did it, but at least the game found the Achilles Heel.
Does it limit the replacements?

[Gojira]

Well I didn't start a war with the U.S., but kind of couldn't avoid it against England.

You have to upgrade your nation's industrial base & research basic technologies & shit like that.

I actually hate the game, because it's so overly involved and complicated. For example, you have to research the basic components of radar, long-range radio, etc., before you can research putting them together, and getting the damned tech. You have to manage the industrial output and decide where to throw your resources, etc.

It's very detailed and realistic, but so much so, that it's not even fun to play anymore. If I actually wanted to run a fucking country, I'd run for president. I just want to play a game casually and enjoy it.

[Veemee Sashimi]

Axis and Allies is supposed to, at least at a basic level. IE, the game is supposed to work such that if the Axis doesn't win quickly, they don't win. Don't know if that actually is the case though.

[tarran]

Are you kidding?!?

They all suck at it...

The thing is the armies' capabilities are generally either full strength or the army is disbanded because it can't be supplied (or is destroyed).

You can have an army in combat continuously for years and it is at full strength.

I did once try to play a game that claimed to model the economic stuff. I think it was called Global Supremacy. It was horrifically complicated; each turn had seven phases with lots of rules governing resource allocation. We realized it would be about 4 hours before we even got into battle, so we threw everything in the box and pulled out the Diplomacy set.

BTW, had anyone here ever completed a game of Diplomacy? I havent. Usually after 4 hours, everyone is tired.

[PantsFan]

Just like Settlers is supposed to take 25 minutes.

[Sevo]

"each turn had seven phases with lots of rules governing resource allocation. We realized it would be about 4 hours before we even got into battle, so we threw everything in the box and pulled out the Diplomacy set."

That's what the Axis tried to do after econ matters began to define the war.
Problem was they weren't any better at the Diplomacy game.

Avalon Hill's Third Reich, perhaps?

[Gojira]

I didn't remember off the top of my head, and was too lazy to look it up, so I didn't want to make any baldly outrageous claims, but that looks pretty bad alright.

And I disagree; I think the French should be less licky, if anything.

[Sevo]

How long will it take for vermin shit to turn "licky' into a rant?

[Gojira]

I'm hoping he/she/it ties it into natural salt-licks found in the forest.

She's too busy finding profundity in Holywood movies glorifying the nation-state.

I'm still very fat.

So... Are you White Indian?

Well, at least he'll never get to partake of the joys of Sugar Tits Cereal.

Government employees are the most qualified to make decisions effecting the education of our children. Their strict adherence to policy makes them great arbiters of common sense.

Telling another student the teacher is cute sounds harmless enough from where we sit, but that nine-year-old's oppressive male gaze is what really made the punishment warranted.

[Res Publica Americana]

You know what's cool? When a high school student overwhelms a really sexy ultra-liberal ultra-feminist with his charms and fucks her brains out in the janitor's closet, and then walks away only to fist-pump his homeboys in celebration of "getting dat piece of ass".

Imagine the mind-numbing explosion of outrage and fury something like that would generate on Feministing or Jezebel.

[Res Publica Americana]

OT: "Republicans in Congress refused to accept Johnson's terms, rejected the new members of Congress elected by the South, and in 1865?66 broke with the president. A sweeping Republican victory in the 1866 Congressional elections in the North gave the Radical Republicans enough control of Congress that they overrode Johnson's vetoes and began what is called "Radical Reconstruction" in 1867.[2] Congress removed the civilian governments in the South[3] in 1867 and put the former Confederacy under the rule of the U.S. Army. The army conducted new elections in which the freed slaves could vote, while those who held leading positions under the Confederacy were temporarily denied the vote and could not run for office."

How many people actually know that? What do you think of it?

[Libertymike]

Radical reconstruction was great for crony capitalism.
