You guys don't know what you're talking about.

To me, a troll is someone who's politically incorrect, purely for the sake of being politically incorrect. Someone who deviates from taboos, social norms, sacred cows, etcetera, purely for the sake of it. Maybe that's a slight deviation from the common definition. I suppose women, especially young g...

By trolling, I didn't mean bullying, I meant being offensive just for the hell of it, that's what trolling means to me. Of course women are capable of being cunts, just as men are capable of being pricks.

I don't think they can.

Trolling seems to run contrary to all female instincts.

What if the reason why there's so much convergence between species in their design, is not just because the same genetic mutation is bound to occur in two different species, and spcies inhabit similar environments, requiring similar traits to survive, but also because genes themselves and the way ce...

Quirk, I'm asking for cheaper apartments, not utopia... there's a difference. 1 doesn't necessitate the other, 1 can propose more collectivism here, and more individualism there. I'm actually fairly anti-homogenization, anti-globalization, anti-collectivism, and extremely pro 2nd amendment. Besides,...

That would mean less money for the state, the state is greedy, the cost of these new apartments would be sky high, and wouldn't be feaseable to build. In order to build affordable housing, the state could just print the money ex nihilo. However, it might be better to takeover existing housing and m...

"hick" HA! So: someone who self-relies is a 'hick'. By that logic: someone who is fed, clothed, sheltered by another is a 'sophisticate'. Thank god I'm a country boy with my shotgun and dirty bare feet. Lord, save me from the caterwauling (and parasitical agendas) of the incapable sophist...

The only thing that's holding us back is the elite, and the hold they have over the populace. Labor is going the way of the dinosaur, it's practically obsolete. I guess what you're saying is that rich people got rich by stealing from other people. I guess they should all be put in jail, huh? Who do...

The Transvaluator, I think you are forgetting that you are speaking of an extremely boring and meaningless world. Most of the workforce that has been allocated away from farming is now used to create variety in society, make people happy and allow them a life rich in experience and opportunities. A...

Transvaluator, what you're overlooking is that you are speaking of and to an insane species. If we had any sense, we would never have invented kings, genocide, ayatollahs, hydrogen bombs, generals, refined sugar, indentured servitude, popes, compound interest, the rack, child pornography, prisons o...

In the middle ages, it took 99% of the population to feed 100% of the population. The modern era, it takes 1% of the population to feed 100% of the population. For that reason alone, nevermind everything else, either wages should be 100 or at least 10 times more than what they are, or food, clothin...

TV, Here's a crazy, whacked out, notion: how about you do what you need to and take care of 'you' and let other folks do the same for themselves. All this worryin' after what 'should be' can blind a body to 'what is'. Shelter, feed, and clothe 'you' (and yours) and let the rest fend for themselves....
