You know how we know you are from the US? Because you are talking out of your fucking ass!
I'll have you know that when I talk out of my voice, it's with a distinctly Danish accent!
j/k!
which tends be very very influenced by American protestentism (ie, evangelicals)
You're thinking of fundamentalists. Protestants aren't (necessarily) evangelicals (nor are evangelicals necessarily even fundamentalists).
I feel like pointing out that it wasn't very long ago (25yrs?) that fundamentalists and evangelicals were considered fringe weirdos here in the States (except, perhaps, in areas where inbreeding tends to be less frowned upon). Also, while you might expect the literacy rate to be nominal amongst mainstream Protestants (and apparently it is), illiteracy is sky-high among evangelicals and fundamentalists.
So the moral of the story might be that the less likely you are to possess the ability to read the Bible, the more likely you are to actually believe its contents.
Republicans reject teaching critical thinking skills...
And it stands to reason that they would; seriously, what's the point of returning society to feudalism if the rest of us aren't willing to play along and act like retarded peasants and serfs??
Countries are an illusion designed to keep the little people from revolting
One of the most insightful things I've ever read on here...
Your totally Aspie-ish inability to spot humor notwithstanding, I actually agree with your idealism... but it's quite clear that you've never gotten to enjoy the "pleasure" of living amongst the wonderful [and admittedly all-too-human] folks in question!
autism is caused by vaccines
And of course there's never been a valid reason to suspect that everything we've been told by Big Pharma might not be entirely true...
Sure performance will be degraded in bad weather, and the car will have to slow down to compensate. Which is exactly what humans do.
Considering that Texans and Okies tend to speed up when the streets are slippery and visibility's been reduced, I suspect this confirms my suspicion: hicks aren't human!
it has to be able to drive 1000 miles in a day
That's perfectly reasonable; you'd only need to drive at 65mph for nearly fifteen and a half fucking hours without ever stopping to get gas or take a piss.
Isn't it more important to do cool and interesting things with a computer rather than everything obsessedly being open source?
You simply don't get it: in the long run, those two ideals are anything but mutually exclusive.
So basically we should give up all our civil liberties, and live in a police state with harsher restrictions than sharia law WITH high tech tools to enforce it.
Yes, yes; now you're catching on!
Well, I've never even been and I skipped this year, too!
It is amazing that reporters seem to lack even an 8th grade level of science education
Indeed, they seem to lack an 8th grade level of science education. However, I have it on good authority that they actually lack even a kindergarten level; they're just good at faking it.
