:huh:  Why are we trying to figure out why lying morons lie?


I do not think they are lying, I think they are simply ignorant.  Hell, I bet half of them believe that the revolution was fought to protect the right to bear arms.
It's hard to know where ignorance ends, lying begins, lying ends, and insanity begins.  These memes spread because people get so emotionally activated by them that their critical thinking gets short-circuited.  It really is engineered insanity.

I have a serious problem with this sort of analysis.  My problem is that it may be true.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'm definitely stealing this one.  Is it original, o did you encounter it somewhere?
Original.

Googling turns up an odd F1 campaign a couple years back.
Never heard of it.  Sounds like a stupid marketing slogan that probably died a quick death.

Original.

It is a nice play on engineering consent.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Memester has a valid point, regardless of the irony assuming one of Syt's kinfolk shared it. Though in a sense he is now also part of the media.  :hmm:

I mean when people are talking about teachers they mean public school teachers and that has been paid for by radical socialism since the 18th century. The US was doing radical socialism before the term socialism was even invented.
