when even a machine goes full right wing extremist as a result of how our society is, i think it means the media are trying too hard to tilt the scale full left and the 80% of the population that is always neutral is getting on the right side to keep the balance

The words freedom and liberty, are diminishing the true meaning of the abstract concept they try to explain. The true nature of freedom is such, that the human mind is unable to comprehend it, so we make a cage and name it freedom in order to give a tangible meaning to what we dont understand, just as our ancestors made gods like Thor or Zeus to explain thunder.

What? You thought it was a quote from some well known wise guy from the past?

 

Stupidity leads to willful ignorance - willful ignorance leads to hope - hope leads to sex - and that is how a new generation of fools is born!


We are hardcore role players... When we go to bed with a girl, we roll a D20 to see if we hit the target and a D6 to see how much penetration damage we did.

 

Modern democracy is: the sheep voting for which dog will be the shepherd's right hand.

“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 Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete."

I have to admit that when this began to preach Scientology dogma I gave a rather large guffaw.

Quite an experience to live in misery isn't it? That's what it is to be married with children.

I've seen things you people can't even imagine. Pearly Kings glittering on the Elephant and Castle, Morris Men dancing 'til the last light of midsummer. I watched Druid fires burning in the ruins of Stonehenge, and Yorkshiremen gurning for prizes. All these things will be lost in time, like alopecia on a skinhead. Time for tiffin.

 

Tea for the teapot!

Is there a source for this?

 

Long time ago I've read a theory about that River might be a reborn vampire hunter... therefore drawing a very wide circle back to the Buffy tv show.

"only when you no-life you can exist forever, because what does not live cannot die."

Apparently from a Joss Whedon interview in 2005 although the full quote provides some further context: http://blog.whedonesque.com/post/21862101801/spike-in-firefly-season-6

I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man

As someone who uses Photoshop for a living, it astounds me that people take the time to extract these guys frame by frame for a fairly high quality gif:

Maybe you should learn about After Effects.

I'd say the answer to that question is kind of like the answer to "who's the sucker in this poker game?"*

I have no idea what this word is.

 

A reference to The Big Lebowski, John Goodman plays Walter Sobchak who is pretty much being an arsehole throughout the entire film:

Also, probably the best scene in any movie like ever goes to Jeff Bridges driving his car drinking beer and getting high. ;)

Original video I posted had embedding disabled. *sigh*

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.
