Comment Roy Blunt is not a conservative? (Score 0) 548

Since when is Roy Blunt not conservative?

Or do you just make things up to support your political agenda? Not surprising.

According to this article, the full list of senators who introduced the bill is: Enzi (R-WY), Durbin (D-IL), Alexander (R-TN), Tim Johnson (D-SD), Boozman (R-AR), Reed (D-RI), Blunt (R-MO), Whitehouse (D-RI), Corker (R-TN), and Pryor (R-AR). Six Republicans and four Democrats.

You're seriously suggesting Newt Gingrich doesn't want to shove religion down our throats?

A really quick search (actually, I went to the Wikipedia page for Newt Gingrich and glanced through the citations at the bottom) turns up this. Scary stuff, and it's only the first article I looked at.

Also, isn't Newt a huge supporter of the Defense of Marriage Act? That's huge government forcing religion down our throats right there. And after he has been divorced a couple times! Hypocrite.

Ahh, I see, everyone who disagrees with you is a drooling red-state moron, since no one intelligent could disagree? How's that religion working out for you?

How is what you said even related to what I said?

Everyone wants freedom for themselves. Heck, even criminals want "freedom" to commit their crimes.

The Tea Partiers seem to be all about getting as much freedom as possible for themselves, and taking away freedom from anyone who is different from them. And they will use Big Government to pass laws to take other's freedoms away. Have you asked a Tea Partier for their opinions on abortion lately? Medical marijuana? Gay marriage? Integrating (their own) religion with government?

Have you actually turned on a TV or read a newspaper in the last year or two?

Palin and Bachmann associated themselves with the Tea Party movement. They give speech after speech invoking the Tea Party and they have very many Tea Party supporters.

And you're trying to say this is "spun by the lib'rul media"? Amazing.

Good job changing the subject.

When you said, "I wish there was a law to kill stupidity," you were talking about the parent poster. He said something that offended you and you wanted a law to silence him.

Why do you feel such a sense of entitlement? Why do you want big daddy government to solve all your problems?

Comment FCKeditor isn't really a good example (Score 5, Informative) 467

To be fair, FCKeditor was named after its author, Frederico Caldeira Knabben, who is from Brazil. Evidently that was his real name and he didn't at first realize the unfortunate similarity of his initials to an English swear word--but even if he had realized this, they were still his real initials, so I think he would still have some right to name it that. In any case, the name of the editor has now been changed to CKEditor.

That's exactly what I was saying. Wikipedia did not say that Bitcoin is a fiat currency. I was quoting TFA, which said that, and I was pointing out that TFA was wrong. My (separate) Wikipedia quote above said pretty much what you are saying.

Comment Whoops (Score 3, Insightful) 622

Whoops--I meant to quote a bit more of TFA:

Like most major worldwide money systems, BitCoin is a form of fiat currency, meaning it only has value because people believe it has purchasing power.

That's the important part. Bitcoin is not like most major worldwide money systems.
