I assume all politicians are lying whenever they're attempting to communicate in any form. That's not exclusive to any party.

Nothing flies over my head! My reflexes are too fast; I would catch it.

Crap. Planning dinner is HARD.

Star Trekkin' across the universe! Boldly going forward 'cause we can't find reverse!

Pun intended? I really hope everyone gets to enjoy the experience.

None of my Steam games work, and I don't find it reasonable to reinstall the OS to fix nVidia driver problems. Is that a satisfactory answer for "gaming is broken"?

He wears the cone of shame!

My understanding is that your point is that a little courtesy helps let the ideas flow into your mind instead of being blocked by an emotional reaction to the fucking assholery that normally takes place in these so-called discussions. I generally agree with this, as this human tendency to react more positively when treated with courtesy is exactly what caused it to become the norm in the first place. It should come as no surprise when, in the course of an intellectual discussion, someone requests that all participants stop acting like assholes.

That said, the blocking of an idea, no matter how vile the idea is, should not be a matter of government control. Once those in power can block an idea that threatens them, what's to stop them from blocking others? What if Americans were suddenly unable to obtain information about products made in China? Unable to purchase them? What effect would that have on the global economy? Some might like to find out, but the truth is that such a drastic change would likely temporarily devastate the US economy, which has been shown to have worldwide effects. If US manufacturers want to sell more products domestically, they just have to find another way to make their products more attractive to US consumers. What if the President suddenly appeared to be running for another term unopposed because no one could find any information about the existence of such opposition? Where does it stop?

So you would misunderstand the meaning of, "The sky above the port was the color of television tuned to a dead channel," thinking that meant RGB blue? Gibson was referring to the grey of random noise.

So it's a compromise, then? Neither men nor women get the full respect they deserve, and some of each are willing to put up with that so that they can have what they want from the other party. It appears to be under continuous negotiation, and neither party is ever getting exactly what they want because each wants something that directly opposes what the other wants. The extremists in each party who refuse to compromise make so much noise that the majority of each party, the rational ones who agree that some kind of compromise is necessary, cannot effectively negotiate what that compromise should be.

If we were to start shooting our own National Guard because they follow the orders of an apparently broken government that we can't seem to fix, we would be branded as terrorists who hate America and incur the wrath of any nearby gun-toting hothead who believes everything the media reports. We don't have the luxury of having a government that openly doesn't give a crap what we want and meets on the other side of an ocean, with a logistical nightmare to solve to support fighting a guerrilla force using outmoded tactics. We would start off surrounded by a force that has the backing of the local people, uses modern tactics and advanced weaponry, while our slowly diminishing rights only allow us to have small arms, in and limited locations. Plus, we would be indistinguishable from any other criminal organization. We can't just start "shooting redcoats," we have to change the government from within. The complaints are about the fact that actually attempting to implement such a change would probably prove futile because our government is so large and bloated, as well as likely to be full of corruption, that such an attempt would be like the same kind of political warfare.
