Even "A Lannister always pays his debts" is honor of a sort.

Crowd Yells Let Him Die

Remember, the Right-Wing wants you (yes, you!) to die.

I just realized something.

This is the Death Panel.

The crowd said "No, Ron. You are the death panel"

When asked to describe a moral dilemma they had faced, two-thirds of the young people either couldn’t answer the question or described problems that are not moral at all

Caith and Nex I'm disappointed for reading too far into it. Catloaf I'm just happy didn't threaten to kill anyone in that post.

Man, I just realized how long it's been since Catloaf threatened to kill someone!

I honestly don't remember ever threatening to kill people... Perhaps it's blocked out due to the extreme shame...

But if it's been a while, then I was most likely on a different set of pills back then and not as mentally sound.

High schoolers (separation intentional!) are stereotypically awful at analogies.
That college students don't describe the world in terms of obligation to others isn't really surprising, and it would be unusual for someone so young (and arguably, more infantilized than his predecessors) to definitively prescribe morality.

It is a little worrisome though... When I used the phrase, "If it feels right" I realize now that I was weighing my desires against guilt and my need for self-affirmation. Guilt basically descended, for me, from a very authoritarian set of LAWs. To this day, I'm still made a little uncomfortable by my own nudity.

Quote from: Catloaf

kay, now this is what we would call having "Too much money."

These people (and any heirs to their estates) need to be murdered and have all their money and worldly possessions repossessed by the countries in which the wealth resides.

That, or everyone switch to a new currency, leaving the current one as only as valuable as the paper it's printed on, that the (previously) super-rich are legally not allowed to own or be within a 100ft radius of.

Or we could just take all of them and dump them on a deserted island with no food, water, tools, or means of immediate or future escape.
EDIT: or put them in a Battle Royale

Not only murder, but also all their heirs, and all of there possessions to be taken away.

What kind of asshole doesn't at least bury a man with his money?

I prefer to take a select few of their trophies and add them to their cremation pyre. I'm also partial to sending the pyre out into a body of water but I understand this often isn't practical.

"Fag lover Cuomo" is the dumbest failure at an obvious sound-alike I've heard since..."Troll-Ra" instead of "Meme-Ra".

Thad, that'd require a huge re-write of the Lion-O vision.

Reid nukes the Senate.

Thad · « **Reply #597 on:** October 07, 2011, 09:22:08 PM »

...I thought the nuclear option was to flat-out declare filibustering unconstitutional, rather than simply eliminate filibuster by amendment.

Still and all, long fucking overdue. And yes, sooner or later this'll bite the Dems in the ass. But as I've been saying for years, filibusters are an inherently conservative tool; the occasions where they help progressives are far outnumbered by the occasions where they hinder them.

Which I suppose will be small fucking comfort the next time a Republican President wants to invade Iran, but it's not like the Dems would filibuster that shit anyway.
