Comment Re:Australia ditto (Score 1) 545

I am thoroughly amazed at the number of complete fucking idiots that pop up in these discussions that don't have a basic understanding of fascism, nor the first clue what tyranny actually is.. yet spew bullshit from their mouth because their brain cavity is too full of it.

Only a complete fucking idiot would not have an understanding of the dangers the diseases we vaccinate against, and the incredibly danger they pose to society and individuals. Only an even bigger fucking idiot would think a parent has the right to murder their child through neglect because the parent has a "belief" about something, that in the case of being anti-vax, is a really incredibly stupid fucking belief.

Perhaps people like you should pull your head out of your ass for once in your life, and think about someone other than yourself and your petty little whiny bullshit. Diseases kill.... if you allow your child to die for no other reason than you're a fucking idiot, not only do you not deserve to have children, but you should be locked away for criminal negligence at the minimum.

And opposed to your stupidity, i'd be willing to bet that our forefathers would think that allowing your child to die when you could easily prevent it would be reprehensible and criminal; any normal person would. So it begs the question: what the fuck is wrong with you?

Because the same reason that's been posted and explained so many times there's no way a person who can actually read hasn't seen it many, many, many times: Herd Immunity. If you seriously have not read that before, Google it... or look at EVERY other thread on /. and probably EVERY other news site about vaccines.

The federal laws passed in the mid-80s that insulate the responsibility of vaccine creating companies to flaws in their products needs to rescinded or heavily revised.

It is the fact that the companies creating these vaccines are largely not culpable for their products that has driven the anti-VAX movement. FIX THAT or this law will be ignored.

No. The anti-vax movement has been largely driven by greed, stupidity, and the parents need to "blame" someone.

What's lost in most discussions of the fraud doctor in Britain is that he was trying to discredit the current vaccination regime so he could push his own = greed. Parents, preferred listening to that jackhole and dipshit blondes who's only claim to fame is stripping for cash instead of medical professionals with actual knowledge = stupidity. The whole blame game is the demented way humans interact with seemingly everything. Their child has autism = it MUST be someones fault.... which in reality is just more stupidity.

The companies that produce these vaccines are shielded from individual lawsuits because individual lawsuits would very quickly bankrupt said companies. The result of that would be no vaccines, which would lead to everyone in society fucking dying of easily treated illnesses = more fucking greed and stupidity ("everyone" being hyperbole, obviously, but given current transportation ease and population, "millions" would be a given) . Complications from vaccines are fairly rare, and very serious complications/death even more-so.... but vaccines are of critical importance to our species in the present day. If the argument is: let millions of people die each year because of diseases that can be easily vaccinated against, or requiring parents to keep their disease ridden kids out of school unless they vaccinate... that's an easy one: fuck the idiot parents.

Grow a brain then try using it. The root cause is greed, enabled by the privatization of what should be a government function. Your stupid asshatery hatred of the government IS part the problem. This shouldn't be tagged "government" it should be tagged "private contractors," but sadly there's too many idiots who want to say government is bad all the time without seeing that many issues with government stem from the private sector committing various frauds and thefts from said government.

For the record, i don't have a passport... and i'm not such a fucking idiot that i think the government is going to come shoot me because i don't. I swear, peoples IQ must have dropped by 50 points in the last 30-40 years or so. There's just that many more fucking idiots than i remember while growing up.

Comment Re:Taxation is not charity (Score 1) 866

Taxes are what we pay for a society. YOU have gained immensely from being in this society...clean air, clean water, safe food, police protection, and a myriad of other benefits. YOU have gained those things since before YOU were born BECAUSE previous generations understood that taxes are what we pay for a society, and by doing that we can make society better for future generations.

YOU, on the other hand, want to be a fucking thief, and instead of living up to YOUR social responsibility to PAY BACK WHAT YOU HAVE ALREADY USED, you want to steal all the value from society so that future generations have it worse than we do. YOU want all the benefits and rights, but want to take none of the responsibility. YOU are simply a greedy little simpering thief who doesn't give a fuck about this country or the people living here.

As for religion and morals.... religion tells people to be "good" so they can get into heaven, and not to be "bad" so they don't go to hell. Someone who has to have the stick or carrot to be a "good" person isn't really a good person, they're just doing risk aversion. Someone who isn't religious doesn't do good to appease some daddy-issue mythology floating around in the clouds, but they do it because they are actually decent people.

In a sense you're right...taxation isn't charity. It's responsibility, and it's love for country. Fucking thieves don't understand that.

I get it. There's a lot of Christians, especially in the US, who seem to think the only thing a "christian" needs to do is accept Jesus... then they can be a mass murderer or worse and still get into heaven. However, this is what Jesus taught:

Matthew 25:31-46
New International Version (NIV)

31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’

40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

If you aren't waling the walk, you're fucked in the end... no matter how much talking you do along the way. Don't take it from me, take it from Jesus.

Here, this will help you out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I...

To drawn the prophet would be to create something physical that can lead to idolatry... which is verbotten by God. As for your assertation:

Also, it's perfectly OK (according to the Old Testament) for non-Jews to worship idols. In fact, the fact that this occurred is a basic premise of much of the Old Testament, and never are the non-Jews admonished for it.

.... bullshit. Rabbi's seem to disagree with you, as does basic history. http://www.myjewishlearning.co...

However, in the rabbinic doctrine of the Noahide laws [the seven laws Judaism expects non-Jews to follow]–the Torah for all mankind so to speak–idolatry is as serious an offense for Gentiles as it is for Jews, although, in the nature of the case, this was purely academic. It was unlikely in the extreme in rabbinic times that a Gentile would ask a Rabbi whether or not he was allowed by the Torah to worship his gods.

Islam is derived from Judaism. The Old Testament has a great deal of bearing on Islam, including the prophets (and yes, including Jesus). The most conservative Muslims take idolatry extremely seriously, unlike Christians (US Christians) who will practice idolatry at the drop of a hat... a cross, a crucifix, a flag, a burnt piece of toast, a water stain on the ground.... pretty much anything they can con their mind into believing has some passing resemblance to a face they con themselves into believing is Jesus.

The difference between Muslims and Christians (especially those in the US), is that the most conservative Muslims actually try to live they way their religion teaches (including not just the Qur'an, but the Old Testament as well), and yes, idolatry is a very serious no-no. Just think if the most conservative Christians would actually live the way Jesus taught.... putting all their energy into feeding the poor, housing and clothing those without, helping the sick... instead we have the most conservative Christians doing pretty much everything opposite of how Jesus' teachings go; they're just not as dedicated as the conservative Muslims are.
