Really boards with nails?

Someone should have told him not to quit his day job... o wait he got fired as he was labeled a safety risk

Fucking Wiretaps, how do they work?

Yeah but where are we going to find a tutu in his size

Speaking of first world problems... they ruined the McRib by using inferior bread!

When I first started hearing about objections to the Occupy protests, the imediatly reminded me of that fallacious argument Dawkins used at that conference to belittle a woman harassed at night in an elevator.

I think, because I'm seeing this everywhere, it needs a name, so I'm going to start calling it the argumentum ad oblitum, or more simply the Dawkins Fallacy.

The Dawkins fallacy is when a problem of larger scope is used as a foil to dismantle protest over a problem seemingly of smaller scope. The smaller scope argument superficially seems to disappear under the larger scope, but it is actually only dismissed or belittled, not refuted.

The lowest level and least insidious version of this is the child who argues about eating their poorly cooked vegetables and the parent uses children starving in Africa to quiet them. The worst offenders use the foil of international problems to keep individuals from seeking to improve their lives, they should be content with what they have because others have it worse off. Don't like your shitty job? At least you HAVE a shitty job, tones of people don't, so you should be content with it. Don't like getting harrassed in the workplace? Why are you complaining about workplace harassement when women in the middle east have to wear burkhas and get raped daily?

It may be cognitive bias, but I'm starting to see Dawkins Fallacy everywhere.

But I would have called it Dawkins Elevator

Has someone said parapolitics? Its mostly just about conspiracies but there's the sacred chao on page twenty three

Perhaps suggestions from random strangers is exactly what he would have wanted, in which case, here's mine:

Go to the park on the anniversary of his death and eat a hot dog in the rain.

And don't forget to feed the bun to the birds

its standard airport policy to never to assume ownership in the case of a dildo

Personally I blame julian assange, since if he had released those boa memos this shit would have happen months ago. O and Warren Buffet for bailing out criminals instead of letting the bank fail.

Government sachs is to blame for Euros troubles well that and Greece,
Well at least their debt was lowered 50% to only 120% of the GDP

Ah HELL no!

I think that the Occupy movement had brought out a lot of interesting sides to people, a lot of different perspectives. Generally I think this thing might be getting bigger than most individuals can wrap their heads around. I'm definitely one of those people. This thing confuses the fuck out me and this is (one of) my attempts to untangle the knots in my head.

If that's the impression I gave off I am heading in the wrong direction.

If it helps I was half expecting you to say 'i am the 53%'

If that was an elk, not a horse, I think people would react differently. They might even think it was hot... remember the people fucking on a bear?

That's why I think its a troll. Same reason some freak out when they hear another human eat pets (dogs, bugs)

So will the frozen air just thaw or

Why would it? Wikipedia says its average surface temp is between 30 and 56 degrees K and its perihelion is 37.77 AU. In other words, fucking cold and fucking far.

Something else in the sky... or even man made terraforming.

A pilgrimage might be rather fun way to visit portland enmass...
