All well and good, but since people are (partially) made up of their ideas, when you antagonize their ideas and beliefs, you are antagonizing them.

i disagree with tha

i think a person's character runs (mostly) independent of the conceptual model of the universe they have in their mind

Is that a directed at me?

if so, this is directed at you:

Pa. newspaper: Sorry we published letter calling for Obama's execution

http://www.politico.com/story/2015/05/newspaper-apologizes-letter-obama-execution-118370.html#ixzz3bXCjTyDV

If the author of that letter wasn't on any lists before, he is now. Amirite?

These are the types of geniuses heading up the fight against Islam.

The republicans still can't admit the Iraq invasion was a huge miscalculation & mistake:

 

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/politics/2015/05/marco_rubio_stumbles_on_iraq_war_questions_why_are_republicans_having_a.html

As a random aside: sometimes Slate is spot-on, and sometimes they are way off. I just read an article about how we should negotiate with terrorists (and, even more importantly, admit that we negotiate with terrorists).

 

As someone who's rather obsessed with game theory and Bayesian analysis, I read that article with my mouth agape. I was actually embarrassed for the writer's having so little insight and so much confidence.

(If we openly have a policy of negotiating with kidnapping, that will incentive much, much more kidnapping. The best strategy is probably to occasionally negotiate with terrorists, but very quietly).

 

Anyway, sometimes Slate has great articles. Some of their writers are solid.

And Nash just died. Reptilian endgame imminent, clearly.

Nash wasn't a paranoid schizophrenic, he was just privy to the reptilians so they killed him.

Holy shit, this story linked from that page is incredibly disturbing

Just read this on the wiki entry too:

The shooting was declared an accidental discharge; the bullet ricocheted off the wall and Gurley was struck once in the chest and later died from the shot

Hmmm, indeed.

stupid, jittery motherfuckers shouldn't be carrying guns.

american cops are unable to handle any situation, just a bunch of highly instable cowards with a fetish for guns which are never held responsible for their own actions

Events on Friday in Phoenix is one of the reasons I don't call myself an american.

everytime i've stumbled upon a conservative blog or whatever i've been horrified by the comments section

it's somehow worse than the average comments section

Seems like little more than extreme paranoia to me. I guess if nothing else it provides entertainment value.

It's more than just paranoia, though

Many of them seem to think that climate changers, immigrants, Muslims, environmentalists and liberals in general are all sub-human and should be treated as such. Like, I get a real "let's just bomb the middle east and let God sort 'em out" kinda vibe from those types of conservatives.

Although officers were unwilling to comment for the article, one was reportedly overheard saying "sorry, eh."
