I guess it's on account of never watching SNL and only knowing Wiig through movies that I fail to understand how anyone could hate Kirsten Wiig at all.

"Because it all boils down to people being pissed off when we're trying to fix someone else's problem, and again when we're _not_ trying to fix their"

Actually, yeah, that's exactly what I was proposing: humans being slaves to machines. Look, I know it sounds terrible and it's bloody insane but look at where capitalism has got us so far: you've got insurance agencies rating people and analyzing people as pieces of data. You've got algorithims and census data…

Ah, but there's the rub: people. A good number of safeguards necessary for human governance become irrelevant when you're dealing with automation so sort of the point where I was going with that was the real kick in the balls for any dictatorial/ communist system is corruption. However comma, should you be able to…

Eh, that's only if you consider that the possibilities and happiness of life are inextricably linked to material well-being. It's why consumerism really is the corollary to capitalism because it promises material wealth as the bringer of meaning and happiness. Communism actually owes a great deal to religion insofar…

Not even remotely comparable a situation. On one side you've got people supporting colonialist positions, the establishment of cruel, dictatorial regimes all over South America, political assassinations, the murders of women and children and levying the US government in the service of corporations, and on the other…

Look, the Soviets are a bad example because after the death of Trotsky it's fairly clear from any reasonable standpoint that they failed to pursue any sort of internationalist strategy at all. Policy positions on both sides of the Cold war match up much more with that of colonialist policy power plays with only two…

What? Big Blue becoming less hypocritical?

It's controversial to me because it indicates a value judgment wherein everyone's priorities must first and foremost be life. And I'm just here to say that sometimes suicide can be the logical option when all things are run out to their logical end. It presumes that life is in perpetuity always the better choice when…

So realist means give up before you try?

If that's the best that you can do in response i'll take it that you have already conceded the ground of debate. Don't you dare sit there and judge and demean people who commit suicide or write them all off as mentally unwell. You don't know the circumstances people have to go through and just because some people…

But it should be, and that's my point.

Suicide is not weakness. Suicide is perspective and suicide is a choice that takes energy and effort to go through with. It is not, however, weak. These people are responsible for having failed to be decent human beings and are therefore responsible for the victim's deaths. Just as the entire society of Japan is…

I'm sincerely offended that you'd even dare to suggest that people who attempt or commit suicide are mentally unwell. We are not all so lucky to be able to live in pristine living conditions that so many people - presumably you - are able to enjoy. There are things outside our control and to pretend that suicide is…

There isn't. If you were even remotely part of the environment that caused the individual to take their life, you were an influence, you bear responsibility, and it is on your conscience that the effects of your actions must lay. To behave as though people commit suicide in a vacuum is as distinct an abrogation of…

If what you're saying is that a full plan should be implemented instead of piecemeal things, the truth of the matter is that sometimes truth and liberty are chaotic and anarchistic. But we need them to create something better than what we have now. It spirals one way or the other, control and we need something to take…

Well you damn well should because the only way to ensure that those liberties are kept in place is a continuing insistence that they BE kept in place. Wikileaks is essential in ensuring that what liberties we have remain liberties because we will KNOW when and how our government is moving. And in fact, it is because…

It ain't different in any meaningful capacity from any other nation in the world because it operates on the exact same self-serving ideologies. For America to truly BE different it will have had to acted in a manner different than any other nation in history. It has not. Therefore it has no right to claim that it has…

Well if you consider superheros to be individuals who are in perpetuity bearing arms, then it becomes the same issue. Superheroes by their very nature posess greater than average capacities to do their fellow citizens harm and can therefore reasonably be considered to be citizens in perpetual posession of firearms or…

It's an ideological perspective, however. The liberty of individuals to know above the right of the government to ensure protection to its people.
