iam-drugs asked: Oh snap. You were right about "Soraya M."- I spent the last ten minutes or so of that movie crying, but it was still a brilliant film. (That seems a little odd to say- calling such a sad film with a somewhat morbid topic brilliant!)

erinelisesmith asked: I'm Jewish, I've been to Yad Vashem in Israel, and my dad used to be a Rabbi who spoke at holocaust exhibits yet I have never seen Schindler's List.
I cannot seem to psych myself up to sitting through 2.5 hours of that. I prefer bits a pieces of history over a big production as such. No need to watch it right away, right?

Emotional Weather Forecast: I just hate everyone... →
I love the book because it makes Jack so much more sympathetic— we’ve all felt that irrational, yet so rational rage at someone else’s presence.
I live in an apartment for two. It has four people in it. They’re all messy, two of them unforgivably so. They’re everywhere all the time. They have no desire to make things livable, they just want to leave their belongings...
iam-drugs asked: When you say wanted- I am assuming you have yet to see it then? It's been on my Netflix for ages and I decided finally to watch it since it's instant (this is one of those times where technology actually is cool)- it will be an interesting experience watching this film, for lack of a better word!

statehate:
Why do libertarians associate themselves with the Tea Party?
Or, rather, why have we allowed the Tea Party to hijack the libertarian movement, using libertarian-sounding language to spread their ridiculous, incoherent, inconsistent, at times hawkish, anti-immigrant rubbish? I don’t think we’re…

The deal breakers
I’m friends with a mostly libertarian who, by virtue of upbringing and location and historical fascination and ancestors, is way too forgiving of the Confederacy. (Best libertarian-friendly summation of that conflict: the South went to war to defend slavery, the North went to war to defend Nationalism, fuck ‘em both.)
My best friend has traveled the long road from Democrat to...

Government GTFOs continued
Central Banks and Homeland Security. Excellent choices.
I’m an old softie, though. Nothing would give me quite the satisfaction as seeing 10 thousand DEA agents jobless.
Ahhhh, optimism.

A libertarian query
You get one government organization to abolish with no difficulties. Just one.
Which do you choose?

Libertarian fawning
Radley Balko liked one of my comments on facebook. Aweeeesome.
Why am I such a girl?
But the dude already quoted me on reason.com. I am already cool.
Still. I just want be a swanky, witty Reason writer. Where all the commenters are gross and hysterical and nobody can ever reference Jerry Brown without quoting “California Uber Allies.”
It must be a magical place, Reason magazine....

monocled--misanthrope asked: Marijuana causing cancer? Sounds similar to the scare-tactic my high school health teacher used on us to keep us from smoking it (marijuana causes breast growth on men and chest hair on women).

Terrible editorial
I didn’t chew out the queen of “marijuana overdoses” today. If she had come to meeting I could have done it in a capacity as editor. But I didn’t feel quite bitchy enough to do it in the dining hall.
Do you know why we didn’t fix the editorial? Because I may not be objective enough, but I will not use any of my writing talents to make that side look less stupid. If...

Oh God I just watched the movie and it’s delicious. But yes, how does one find the actual show? Damned Brits stealing all of their creative talents.

About a year ago, I watched a movie called In The Loop, which satirically detailed the inner workings of a government department in England. It...

Must study
Because people in Global Cold War keep saying things (paraphrases, I promise the meanings are intact) like “disregarding the totalitarianism, couldn’t communism work?”
And “I come from a Soviet Family [whatever that means] and nobody had food in 1992 or in tsarist times but they had it all the time between.”
And “if I were hungry, I might see the appeal of...

statehate asked: In my defense, I've now gotten into the habit of deleting my non-political posts after I post them, that way when people go back through my blog, they don't have to scroll past the annoying stuff.
Plus, 80% of my posts are political now, so quit yer bitchin haha.

State of the Union
Listened to the Felice Brothers and watched the Reason editors try to out-snark each other in a chat instead.
Definitely a wise choice.
I want to be a hip, snarky libertarian editor someday. Oh yes I do, University Post-graduation Career Plan survey. Yes indeed.

Political discourse IS violent rhetoric →
thinklauren:
laliberty:
When you advocate for government action, you are necessarily engaging in violent rhetoric. Even if you voluntarily submit to government and would voluntarily submit to whatever new program or control you are advocating for, there is no reason to assume that this is true for anyone else. Politics is so heated precisely because is it a winner-takes-all game of abuse and...

Obama threatens Jonas Brothers with drone strikes →

“Hah! It’s funny because predator drone strikes in Pakistan have killed literally hundreds of completely innocent civilians, and now the president is evincing a casual disregard for those lives he is responsible for ending by making a lighthearted joke about killing famous young celebrities for the crime of attempting to sleep with his young daughters. (Really, everything about the...

I am I.T.
I just smashed my laptop against the bed, hit it with my palm and screamed “piece of shit!”
Now it’s unfrozen.
What a terrible lesson for me.

The Cold War
I have purchased “The Day After” from Exchange for 6 bucks. The question now is, have I the courage to watch it?
Supposedly it had a legitimate effect on the end of the Cold War (this being the reason I always joke that Steve Gutenberg saved the world.) Or it at least made Reagan want to cool things off. (I guess they got hot in the 80s, hence “Red Dawn” type things and...

A Libertarian and a Liberal are arguing...
rmbitetti:
…about gambling and prostitution and so on. After some time the Liberal gets fed up and says, “If you Libertarians had your way, nine year olds would be prostituting themselves in public parks!” The Libertarian responds, “What do you mean public parks?”
