So what if they are? That’s the way the world works. In your imagined Utopia where taxes aren’t backed by coercive threats, people would hand it over without prompting because they know it’s forthe better.

I’ll just say it.

Dogs are. Shit is.

This is why “Die Hard”-likemovies maybe need to go away.

The best thing to do with a Big L type is point out to them how worthless and stupid they actually are. You won’t change minds anyhow, so may as well be cathartic.

“I just have a different view”

Yeah, let’s let people suffer and die because we don’t want government to do ANYTHING! Because they’re bad! But CORPORATIONS....now, we’ll trust them!

I call you a worthless piece of shit. Because you are.

Yes.

Oh yeah, the whole “No warning, no telling what you did wrong, just BOOM! Banned.” Really encourages honest discourse, doesn’t it?

Your examples suggest to me that we’re politically closer than I thought. But still, while there is nothing wrong with accountability, don’t think that withholding your monies are an option or a weapon that you have.

Something that you and Drew are both missing: Without the “political bullshit”, NONE of other pleasant things EXIST. Ultimately, Washington is a political city at it’s bones. It is fueled in the end by lobbyists and congressional employees. Which means that ultimately? It runs on the money off the rest of the nation.…

“Well, that’s not nice, is it?”

This is why we need to clarify that propaganda is NOT protected by the 1st Amendment, and then take action accordingly.

Why are you banned on Deadspin? Did you also make the mistake of disagreeing with the wrong writer?

It’s not your money. You have a duty to pay it. The only reason that you see things in the framework that you do is because vote-scrounging politicians baby you and tell you pleasant-sounding lies.

When you hand something over, it’s no longer yours. That’s a pretty basic concept.

The Colts should be banned from ever drafting a top quarterback again.

Boardwalk Empire?

True. Plus, you may have gotten fucked over by the Russians.
