I see what you did there.

Do people actually ride bicycles long distances with a backpacks on? Haven't y'all heard of panniers?
I have something better too. It's called an imperial walker. STOMP
I would worry that you'd do something to distract or offend a driver behind you with this thing and get hit. I'm not convinced that it's a safety win. It's definitely a fun hack, though.
Chicken Pox can be pretty deadly if you get the live virus as an adult.

You speak as if from authority. It would be good if you could go read up on herd immunity and then get back to us on whether you still agree with what you just said.
Can you explain for the class how immunization works?
You don't get to choose whether you are infected with HIV. You are not at risk of being killed by a woman who has had an abortion (or if you want to make the case that you are, let's see some data, Science Boy). If you don't get vaccinations, the science is really clear on what the consequences are.
Of course, you can avoid this problem simply by GETTING YOUR FUCKING VACCINATIONS! Come on, dude. Grow up.
Also, you are an anti-vaxxer by choice, but a mutant by birth.
How many Americans speak Chinese?
FTFY.
You're kidding, right? Do you not follow the news? Of course they did, just like we are doing here in the U.S.
You presume that U.S. citizens are the only ones whose rights matter. Don't feel bad—many of us U.S. citizens think the same way. But you will find if you talk to citizens of other countries, like Germany and Canada and France, that they also care about these issues, and care that the NSA, GCHQ and others have spied on them. And, more importantly, the techniques that the NSA has used to pwn the net are so damaging that even when they are used for legitimate foreign policy reasons, the harm they do to our domestic interests is massive. And the bugs they planted in Cisco router firmware are even worse: they have motivated people to use Chinese tech instead of American tech, and in the process likely created an opportunity for the Chinese government to collect intelligence in our stead. Is that better than nobody being able to collect the intelligence?
We know nothing about this alleged creator of the universe, including whether such a being exists. To make assertions about what such a being is likely to want or unlikely to want is completely arrogant. I personally find the existence of such a being pretty unlikely, but I don't see any reason to think that someone who believes in such a being and believes that that being cares about them is being particularly arrogant. The assumption that our existence is insignificant and meaningless is a special kind of pride, and no more valid than any other.
Variables don't; constants aren't.
