Explosions At Boston Marathon

Right, it's fucking stupid. I know that. I'd just like to be able to respond with something better than, "this is implausible bullshit". The photographs shown there don't really make sense to me, but that's likely because of the priming experienced from seeing them with the explanations (this is why I look at figures in journals before reading the text, if I understand the field). It really is a pretty weird looking scene.

"this is implausible bullshit" is pretty much the answer to every conspiracy theory because of the number of people that would have to be involved, if nothing else.

There's little or nothing in the electoral process that selects for intelligence. Hell, there's multiple features that likely work against the smartest folks.

“The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.

To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.

To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”

And I wholly agree with the man.

While I cannot comment on the validity of statements made by mr beck, I will say mr beck has lost his mind pretty much. He hasn't made much sense in about a year I disregard most of what he says.


Actually he seemed to start losing touch with reality about the time he was fired from Fox News.

Looks like my comment on immigration was correct after seeing the expired student visa's the latest people arrested were here on.

No idea why the INS is allowed to mess up so frequently costing us american lives.

Because bombings like this happen "so frequently"?

Do you need the list of crimes illegal immigrants commit on a daily basis?

6 year old girls arent raped everyday and left for dead in a field, only to be beaten in the head with a hammer because they didnt die. Doesnt happen enough so it doesnt matter? Please

There is a difference between it "not mattering" and "not happening frequently enough to merit statistical significance".

You are comparing expired visas to gay marriage? How about guns?

[Elegiac]

One entails legal discrimination by the state, one involves a potential for crime in a group which actually significantly contributes to the wellbeing of the country.

Can you tell the difference?

You just validated gun control. Congratulations! I'm sure that's what you intended.
