Beat me to it. Kids these days! They'll argue for weeks about something like how our government spends its money without ever actually peeking at the federal budget. Hey, no one said there'd be MATH involved. When its time to actually do something about all this terrible injustice, guys like Bone are are ON IT - their keyboard, that is. Another clarion call to a deaf audience - just another day in the life of a cyber revolutionary. Precious little snowflakes, every one.

What's "dumbass" but just another way of describing an intellectual artist who has broken free form the chains of basic logic, experience, and fact checking? Perhaps it is upon this intellectually blank slate that Bone will etch his attainment of satori.

How about a little Christmas spirit around here. The secret 911 perps will still be there after Jan 1.

Actually, my information, education, and what I have available upstairs to juggle the two are better than yours in an absolute sense. Sorry. When it comes to analysis and debate - everybody's not a winner. You've got other talents - I'd focus on them. This just isn't your strong suit.

I believe me and I don't believe you but I still haven't found who shit in my shoe.

I have a couple of fair questions. Bone - have you ever taken a Logic class or the self study equivalent? This would seem to be a prerequisite for properly evaluating any body of evidence. Kimmo - what is the level of your statistics training? I frequently run into a lot of self taught experts on the Constitution - THEY'VE READ IT, MAN, WANNA SEE A DOGEARED COPY???? - who've never read, nevermind analysed, a single constitutional court decision or amicus brief. I know some constitutional law professors - its just a wee bit more involved than the teabagger version. Welcome to the age of social media - a pond a million miles wide and an inch deep - where everybody is Michael Phelps. I'm waiting...

Sheep aren't marched to the slaughter - they're kept alive so they can be fleeced. Just sayin'

The vaccine debate does serve a not all that interesting purpose - as an indicator for shifting cultural norms. A problem that would have once been discreetly resolved by simply letting the poor little vaccinated autistic girl out of the car somewhere on a remote highway now demands a national movement, with all the indignation and deep sense of injustice that goes with it. Instead of quietly dealing with the pain of watching their trusting, confused little girl recede in the rearview mirror, today's parents demand that the entire world rally to compensate them for a simple accident of nature - namely, their ill-advised decision to fornicate without proper contraception.

Precious little snowflakes, every one. How I love to crush them.

Pretty much like dumping a semi load of plywood in front of a couple of porcupines.

If any of you have even the smallest notion of what I'm going on about here, please PM me and let me in on it.

A snowflake's uniqueness is, itself, a kind of illusion. What appears unique to us is actually quite simple and homogeneous at a more fundamental level. Rather than violating the 2nd or any other physical law - a snowflake, a byproduct of water seeking its lowest energy state under the given conditions - exemplifies predictability, sameness, and the ephemeral nature of perceived uniqueness. It is a symbol of low energy acquiescence, rather than energetic innovation.

Everybody likes to have their beliefs, the more iconoclastic the better, validated by an external source, particularly sources that bill themselves as secret wellsprings of TRUTH. Pursuing one's desire for Snowflakeyness in a blizzard of 7+ billion is getting tougher. One must have faith, resolve, and a thick skin. Fortunately, there is no shortage of ridicule for those precious few who really see real things the real way they really are...no, really - so the iconoclast's requirement for minority persecution, even if your minority includes 150 million other lemmings, remains conveniently satisfied in that modern, at-your-fingertips kind of way.

It only takes a handful of diligent psychotics to provide the Kimmos and Kevbones of the world with all the evidence they need of an omniscient malevolence that lurks just beneath the surface of our somnambulant existences. Gullibility is not on the rise - it's just enjoying more airtime. Consider the most popular book of all time - I rest my case. It used to take some effort being a nutter - you had to find a soap box, a street corner, a rotten fruit proof jacket. Now you can fire off your WHAT IF????!!! OF THE DAY while pinching a growler while fantasizing about dropping said growler on some blue haired chick who probably has no idea that Holloween snapshot #420 has found its way into that niche of the viralverse that specializes in not making poo poo go away as quickly as humanly possible. And hey, why not post another picture of your puppy getting his bath while you're revealing that the CIA has, in fact, been behind Burning Man all along? When one makes that final leap - equating an inability to vet information with having an 'open mind' - the world is your personal talking oyster.

A live, full grown bluefin plopped onto your sunday morning bed: def worse.

No self respecting big waller would do that. It's hard enough to hit an stationary target.

Why won't you meet with us, Anne Coulter?

I've seen Mars with my own eyes. I've seen Kevbone with my own eyes. Come to think of it, they're both on the reddish side. Coincidence? Go ahead, keep your head buried in the Martian sand. I think its high time Kevbone submitted a DNA sample to JPL. Betcha they've seen it before, real recent, like. Benevolent alien truthsayer or interplanetary psyops recon ranger? Or something else entirely...something wonderful?

Hell, I've even seen a piece of the place up close and personal.

I've seen Mars plenty of times.

Curiosity did just perform its first real soil sample analysis. It also 'sniffed' the atmosphere.

The Mars Curiosity team just announced that the rover has likely made an historic discovery - details in early December after more experimentation. "Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us."
