Typical stupidity, is Research the same as propaganda?

The curly exclamation mark at the end of the statement is called a "question mark" and is used to indicate the previous statement is of an interrogative nature, the particular example you are referring to uses the "question mark" in such a way as to imply suspicion as to the validity of the preceding sentence.

The basic principle stands though and bizarrely seems to shock quite a few people - if you want to be good at something, do it for quite a long time.

Parentheses

I despise the term "founding Fathers" so patriarchal, so overly reverent. It's reminiscent of fascist hero worship. Mob rule is another term for the sam fallacy. Basically you're too stupid to make your own decision, you should only choose which one of us will make them for you. An easy argument to sell and maintain when you look at the standard of American political debate.

Well, "give away" is a very interesting description, maybe you should look into the PATH malaria initiative and their policies on Private Sector collaboration, what will this Malaria vaccine be worth if it is discovered and who will profit from it?

Yeah, I hear Sensitivity training is like a concentration camp, wait, was that insensitive? Since it's often hard to tell what people mean on the internet, I'll briefly add - you're an idiot.

You know who doesn't like the "tyranny of the majority"? The minority who are in power. The basic premise seems to be "you shouldn't make decisions because you might do something bad to someone else".

I'm going to go and steal the Eiffel tower by taking a shitty 640 x 480 picture of it. Want to buy it from me? It's the Eiffel Tower so it's probably worth a good few million at least.

"Carbon sequestration". Yeah, the problem we have is all this carbon we are digging up and burning is causing trouble so we need to find a way of sequestering it after we burn it. Do you see the stupid part in this plan?

You're not very good at it, it's just very easy there for the minute.

So anyone who gets tax credits should be denied free speech?

Yeah, there's no evidence that people in different areas share any common heritage, except all the DNA and stuff, but that's Satan's work.

Yeah, in the brave new future we won't need things made in factories, we'll eat apps for breakfast.
