No, I've seen it. What I don't like is people making claims without sources, but whatever.

On an apologetic note, the comparison is a little more apt in Bush's case for the following reasons:
Bush is in fact a war criminal;
Bush used the events of 9/11 to aggrandize his political power, much like Hitler used the burning of the Reichstag;
Bush used a war to distract from domestic problems, again much like what Hitler did.

Of course he's not a mass murder or the epitome of evil to the extent that Hitler was. But there is a somewhat valid argument there.


haha, if I told you that today is Thursday Sept. 17, 2009 and the sun rose this morning, you would need a source?
GTFO.


No, I witnessed it myself. We can debate the logical problems in sense perception and when it becomes necessary to provide sources, but whatever.


You really think you're a lot smarter than you actually are, don't you?
:lol:
" logical problems in sense perception"... what book did you pull that one out of?


You also witnessed yourself the Hitler comparisons, you admitted it... yet for one you need the source?
:lol:


Um. I phrased that myself, thank you very much. The problem of the extent to which our senses can be trusted as a viable form of gathering empirical data is pretty old, and pretty common.

As far as my "witnessing" (quotation marks, as it was indirect) the Hitler comparisons, I asked you for a source because you seemed to be trying to deliberately demonize anti-Bush protesters. As far as I'm concerned, comparing someone to Hitler is not an automatic "FAIL", as some similarities do exist and must be pointed out, but there is a point where the simile is just too much. The point is moot, however, as these "Tea Party Protesters" are practically gathering to protest something ENTIRELY IMAGINARY.


:lol:
More classic, textbook phrases... whoa, slow down, there, my poor brain is gonna explode...

You either saw it or you didn't. Making a claim is either true or false.
Since you have seen it, it is true. Logic; simple logic.
All that other bullshit is just a bunch of pretentious pseudo-intellectual nonsense, really, it doesn't impress me.
As for the "Tea Party Protestors"... I could give a shit about them one way or the other. But the truth is, we are overtaxed and underpayed, and the government is not held to enough accountability as to what those tax dollars go towards.

Do you have an inferiority complex regarding academia that leads you to insult and ridicule any slight example of that type of language?

No, just call 'em like I see 'em.
When I see bullshit, I call it.
What I don't like is when people throw around $1,000 words / phrases when they can just as easily say the same thing more economically.
It's pretentious and makes me wonder what inferiority complex those that do so harbor; the need to always seem more "intellectual" than others...
You're not gonna start waxing Freud, are you?

No, this is actually how I talk when I'm not in an informal setting. I try to be as precise as possible.

Freud is amusing, but ultimately pseudo-science.


And major " :lol: " at Zad's comment.

Ever tried to adapt his theories to politics? You can get some pretty interesting results. The society of psychoanalysts really was a political lobby.

Ideally, Labour would be like this, but annoyingly, even the lefty parties here can't get over themselves to present a unified face like this. I know I always moan about this, but the SWP can fuck off until they learn to run a campaign properly - they clearly can't hold political power if they can't even speak to opponents. Let alone joining up with the Green party, who have my vote for the moment.

As it is, my pessimistic prediction is that the Die Linkers will turn out to be a sort of German left-wing Lib Dems and be a forgotten third option when everyone votes for the two main parties.

hahaha thats great and in a very sardonic way true, even more irreplaceable is the American lives lost in the war that they claim to support by hypocritically surging in even more when they are just bringing in more American-flag draped caskets.

The middle is not where the truth lies; this is a 'South Park' approach to politics.

I agree; doubly so if finding the middle involves adopting the republicans and democrats as apparently polare opposites.

Plus, I also have a big problem with the idea that you can objectively locate what "truth" is in politics.

Oh, yes, because communism has had such a succesfully flourishing history...
give me a break.
Name one country that is or was communist that people are actually emigrating to, and not wanting to get the hell out of.

It's a proven failed ideology.
Fortunately, it will never exist outside the fringes in this country.
