Protesting for higher taxes!

You know, MIT did research and concluded tin foil hats actually help mind control beams...
I had to google that :laugh: the things people dream up to research.

I think it was part of a series they did. They've also tested some of the other conspiracy theorist insanities. :)

lets send them CSS.. they would have a field day on him

"The programming and inner workings of a forum troll bot." Please be advised that no real humans were harmed in this research. Step 1: Dissected CSS... Discovered a heart shriveled from atrophy. The CPU looked like a brain, except smooth, no wrinkles to see nuances or exercise rationality. Fingers remarkable undamage. Cut and paste technique thought to reduce wear and tear. Minimal typing done during testing periods. The abdomen was designed to spout forth bile from the orifaces at projectile speeds. Rectum showed severe damage, as if a cranium had been inserted repeatedly... Step 2: Rebooted and started field testing. Unit immediately networked to establish contact with an "Alex Jones." Downloaded most of the site links and then began to randomly post them to forums. Cranial cavity showed little to no actual usage during this time. Unit then refreshed page and upon notification that someone had responded began using programmed responses. CPU usage peaked at times with memory being accessed to find a somewhat personal insult to place into a response when the post pointed out logical flaws...

i must add some further testing criteria into your studies. Step 3: positioned unit (test subject) in a crowed high street (shopping center). Unit showed signs of crashing, until the exception routines kicked in (also showed high CPU usage at this time, but due to the limited amount of memory not used up by site links. responses were slow!) once the rountines had finished, the unit then exited the high street (shopping center) in the short distant possible. once the unit arrived back at the lab, it showed signs of histeria. Had to reboot unit to clear the hysteria rountines.

It was going to be a 1-2 punch for pillowpants. Point out that they should be getting 110k+ JUST for the babysitting and then show all the unpaid hours they put in. ;) But, well... he has to not run away from a logical fight that he can't win.

All the bigot parents will move their kids out of schools with minorities. Those schools will not have the funding they need and the education will suffer. Those kids will be worse. I worked for a school district for 8 years. One of our schools had the rather hilarious distinction of having the absolute richest neighborhood along with a slum owned by someone in the neightborhood. You had kids with parents working 2 full time jobs and still barely able to afford bus passes next to kids who's parents could afford a new mercedes every year. The rich parents tried to get their kids open enrolled to a "better" school and were turned down. Since the only other options were christian schools with small class sizes you still have some rich kids sitting in the schools. These schools are pretty much all white. Vouchers in theory are nice, in practice they would allow the rich people to get a discount on doing what they already do.

People who really feel this way will do so anyway.

You're really hung up on rich people. You do know they are the tiniest part of the population right? Will you now tell us about the evil of capitalism?

The pie chart I showed did not include VA benefits, the GWOT, DHS or intell agencies as part of the DOD budget. I didn't set it up that way, it was literally the first one I found, and illustrates how statistics can work any way you want them to.
Yea, I wasn't entirely kidding about that zenu bit, I've seen defense anywhere from 10% to 40% of our budget, and no matter which of those is true, we still spend more than any other country on earth. That's pretty disturbing to me.

I'm completely ripping off someone else's post here, but figure this may interest some people here: Springfield, Illinois saw 15,000 people show up at the capital to rally for a tax increase. Why? They want to pay more taxes to make sure schools and other government services are not cut. The crowd chanted at lawmakers "do you jobs" and "show some guts". The state legislature is more interested in cutting programs just so they can say they did not raise taxes. .....by the way, 15,000 showed up to ask for higher taxes, while the Tea Party tax day rally only had around 1,500. http://www.myfoxillinois.com/dpp/news/il....sures_lawmakers[^] http://progressillinois.com/posts/conten....rms-springfield[^] http://progressillinois.com/quick-hits/c....our-state-rally[^] Stolen From HERE[^ /theft I do have to say it's nice to see people who realize a government that actually does it's job is worth the money. Lower taxes doesn't solve much of anything, cutting programs can cause plenty of problems though.

I missed this one. I will respond though.

Which is my point, vouchers just let them do it for cheaper.

I was one of these evil capitalists. My dad owned a business raking in close to half a million a year in profits. What did he do with this money? He bought cool toys and did his best to make sure he got more money. I've been there. My parents could afford a private education. So they did. Why? Because our public school system is so bad that I never would have been challenged in it. I have a kid in pre-school and I am worried about his education right now. They keep cutting back on everything and people aren't willing to just pay more to get more. Being cheap with taxes is more important than actually getting your kid what they need to succeed. If you can afford it, you just shuffle them off to a private school and let the enrollment at the public schools decline, which means even less money. Capitalism and communism are inherently flawed as systems. A pure communist system will not check for lazy jerks mooching off the system enough to be fair. Capitalism will allow those with power to accumulate it to the point where most people get hosed. So there is your evil of capitalism speech. happy?
