What a load of shit. Compounded by the fact that it was written by the Daily Fail

I really can't stand Ron Paul. So many people don't understand him at all

Regularly talk to people I know who are from the other side of the world

there's also the phenomenon of blowhole sex

very stimulating. Are there non-ape animals (dolphins? elephants? crows?) which have better human like characteristics than chimps?

The context to this article is that in Australia, an well respected indigenous australian rules football player was referred to as an 'ape' by a 13 year old girl

I think OP is confusing liberal with 'statist' because moral panics are endemic to both party supporter bases

I watched that and was absolutely amazed. This is something they probably have never done in practice too

I never saw this coming AT ALL

Why must all atheistic discussion be put in the 'so brave' section. This isn't r/atheism where people are calling out Christians in WalMart

The top comment wins it for me

    He has no one ever telling him his ideas are bad. So we have a company going in literally 19 different directions, none of which are producing any more money. You need someone on the outside to take a look at your ideas and evaluate them objectively.

I think this problem also is relevant to dictators and other absolute monarchs in history. A lot of them have miserably failed their country because nobody ever had the guts to say no to them without fear of punishment. I can't help but think of Joe Stalin, who in his wisdom while trying to raise Russia from rags to riches had nobody stopping him from creating the Holodomor that happened in the Ukraine. Instead of facing the music from knowledgable people who could review his ideas and correct them, thought it would be better for those people to be purged to the gulags

You are an ass hat, but who cares about your opinion when you're merely an asshat

As much as I like the concept of electric cars, they're not very 'green' if the local power source is coal, which is a higher polluter than oil

Haha, I thought of the image macro too

It's amazing that most of those rivers will drain out to a spot off the gulf of mexico near new orleans

I'm not a smart person it seems

KenyanSocialist61  ·  4227 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: AskHubski: What don't people realize?

the multitude of republicans commenting ruin it for me

KenyanSocialist61  ·  4232 days ago  ·  link  ·    ·  parent  ·  post: When have you held an "unreported income" job?

I like the idea of these jobs because they have features of an actual free market and how people would behave in such scenarios
