    Crossing the Line for Paul

    I'm not commenting on the quality of this poll in particular, I just think it's foolish to dismiss the method entirely.

    Crossing the Line for Paul

    That's a crock of shit. While no sane person hold the polls to be perfectly accurate of the actual opinion climate, they do offer a valuable hint about the outcomes. The degree of this value obviously varies depending on the poll, and the quality of the methodology employed.

    100,000 protesters take to the street in Athens

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17003432 What say you? Are the Greeks justified in the violence against the system? Does the fault lie only with the politicians, or also with the people themselves? (For example through their tendency to tolerate and engage in the underground economy...

    Game of Thrones thread with lots of books spoilers inside spoiler tags

    Stannis looks a bit too friendly, but Brienne looks great. Was afraid they'd make her beautiful despite all. Also, I'm glad Robb is in this season, despite not appearing in the book. Telling his adventures second-hand was one of the major flaws of the novel.

    Game of Thrones thread with lots of books spoilers inside spoiler tags

    It appears like Jojen and Meera Reed won't appear in season 2, which I think is a crock of shite. They're ****ing essential to Bran's story.

    Crossing the Line for Paul

    Seriously though, I can never understand why neo-liberals like Ron Paul (or libertarians as Americans like to call them) assume that freedom for the individual entails minimal government and maximum corporate freedom. The ability to succeed financially depends just as much on what class you...

    Innocent Man Spends 2 Years In Solitary Confinement

    How the **** does this even happen? Didn't he have a lawyer?

    Game of Thrones thread with lots of books spoilers inside spoiler tags

    Guys, it's spoiler just saying who has POW chapters in future novels, because it reveals who's still alive. So thanks a bunch, plonkers.

    Image Dump IX (ALL POSTS MUST CONTAIN PICTURES)

    Presumably because they wanted to highlight the part of the UK in which London and Cornwall resides. The same way they'd highlight Scotland if they were talking about Glasgow.

    Game of Thrones thread with lots of books spoilers inside spoiler tags

    I don't know, found A Clash of Kings to be quite a let-down. Dany's story in particular was a real sleeping pill. But I'm 450 pages into A Storm of Swords, and it's really fantastic, Dany's plot too. That being said, knowing HBO, they will make something great out of A Clash of Kings too, even...

    Laptop for around $530

    My Asus cost about that, and it's been working more or less without problems during the 18 months I've had it.

    Image Dump IX (ALL POSTS MUST CONTAIN PICTURES)

    That ranks among some of the most ludicrous things I've ever heard. How do they get away with it? Surely there must be laws against such obvious corporate sponsorship of education? Can't be a arsed to find a picture, bring on the 2 infraction points.

    Rick Santorum: Rape Babies are a gift from god

    Is this YouTube? Ron Paul must be the first time normally sensible people supports a creationist for president.

    Judge denies Obama's motion to not appear at hearing brought about by Birther

    So any random judge can summon any person they want for any issue? The American judicial system continues to baffle me.

    If the Universe is infinite, then we have a problem

    I don't understand the whole infinite universe thing. Didn't all matter and energy emerge from the "point" of the big bang? If so, how could anything be further than 13 billion light years (time passed since Big Bang) away from that point? Shouldn't the diameter of the universe be 26 billion...

    Shrooms - The Solution To All Life's Problems

    It could work as a relief, no doubt, but so can alcohol, and that's hardly recommendable. Not to say they are equal in harm or anything like that, but resorting to drugs is just a way to push the problem aside for a few hours, rather than solving it.

    Arkansas Democrat's cat killed, painted with word "liberal"

    Serves it right for supporting baby-killing.
