Hidden fees, they don't show up, the modems they give you are terrible, connections die constantly, customer service is absolutely dire. Is it because of deregulation?

Why am I posting these? It gives me some sort of perverse cathartic effect, I guess. I guess things like this are the reason why no amount of libertarian or socialist or progressive rhetoric or ANY rhetoric that conflicts with the State will ever prove more effective than the State's civic religion. Vote for OBAMA - here is why. There are only two

Not only the fewest American casualties. The fewest casulaties, period! Iraq, anyone? 1M civilian casualties. Afghanistan? All those casualties, including our 3,000 civilians, could have been prevented by a single drone strike. Bill Clinton was too paralyzed by the left to give that order. That's all that was happening. American politics killed

" I do think the frustration that people have with the "withhold my vote" set is the failure to solve for problems. I don't like drones. And I agree they create more enemies. But I also think there are terrorists who would hurt us every chance they get. I also think that a significant attack during a Democratic Presidency would hurt

And I am against the increasing trend of institutionalized sociopathy, where people are taught either through peers or from higher-ups to refer to their perceived inferiors as their 'bitch'. Your general reaction is still giving me a big question mark. I have no idea why you're writing any of that.

Ok, but I still don't understand his first response. Does he think my term 'bitch-mind', referring to the use of 'bitch' is offensive? That wasn't the intention here. My point was that I chose that term specifically because it has become so widespread in contemporary language, and there's a lot of interesting psychology behind

I'm not sure what your point is. What do you mean?

Marko, I think you misunderstood me. It refers to the idiom 'bitch' that has more or less become widely accepted in US (maybe other Western Anglo countries) popular culture to mean 'unter'/'inferior'/'subordinate'. This is much in the same way 'slut' or 'whore' have become catch-all terms for women with

I am sympathetic to portions of both Bert's and Clayton's posts on the first page. This brings back the idea of what I call the "bitch-mind" (otherwise called the 'bootlicker mentality') which is the ethical mindset symptomatic of patriarchy/macho culture/kyriarchy. The bitch-mind is expressed through sadism and schadenfreude

I know Ron Swanson could be thought of as a satire of libs, but so is Leslie Knope re: statists. There's lots of little random snarky jabs I notice from time to time in certain episodes (not just towards libertarians either), but I still like the show. The whole thing is a satire, even of government. I don't really get the impression that it's
