I noticed one boy had created a place called Pen Island.  Now this wasn't one of my rowdy boys, so I asked him as politely as I could if he noticed any problems with the name.  He had the requisite Sharpie Swamp and Magic Marker Mountains, so I was pretty convinced he did not realize what he did.  So I told him to think about what would happen if he dropped the land from the name.  His reaction was priceless.  I told him he could change it and present another day.

 

 

I read the whole post twice and still didn't see it. Some English major, I was. I thought, Pen Island ... you mean, like a pig pen ... Pig Pen Island ... I don't see anything wrong with th--

Not funny, but something pretty cool nonetheless:

“Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.”

"The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

My roommate from Sophomore year who is now undergoing OCS for the Navy also showed me this gem from the Armed Forces Television and Radio (known as "A-Farts" by those in the military). If you ever wanted to know the virtues of Special Power of Attorney over General Power of Attorney:

Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it. And don't be afraid to post thoughts you are uncertain about, that's what discussion is for.

My favourite is the "But when you're stupid, there is nothing that can be done..." one!

Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken
