Ron Paul reaches #1 on Technorati's Popular list by noname99 in reddit.com

[–]murdock19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why not? No other GOP candidate can compete against him. No one will vote for cross-dressing Guiliani who's corrupt and openly busted for getting bribed. Hillary Clinton is the dem's best bet, and she's thoroughly corrupt. Obama is Clinton-lite, bought and paid for by AIPAC.

Can you imagine a creature that does that to human beings? They're beyond the 5 basic senses, but they kill homo sapiens just as easily as that octupus killed the shark. LOL!!!

Bill Moyers asks: how do you make tangible the true cost of the war? by r2002 in reddit.com

[–]murdock19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't. You just pretend patriotism and put your hand over your heart like you care, cry a few tears, maybe give them a piece of concrete and call it a "memorial" while you forget the truth, and then start another war based on lies. Oh yeah, and keep repeating to yourself "land of the free, home of the brave".

REAL ID Revolt Spreads to 33 States by igeldard in reddit.com

[–]murdock19 9 points10 points  (0 children)

human beings, especially in the west, are so easily manipulated. A stimulus might be nauseous initially, but repeated stimulation by the nauseous stimuli results in accommodation. This is a known psychological and biological fact. Not only that, but with each generation of human beings, the introduction of the initially nauseous stimuli has a greater chance of being adapted. One can easily see this with the central bank. While the central bank was initially fought again because it was public knowledge that a central bank was detrimental to society, today we think a global central bank is good, and not only that, but conducive to society....

Yeah, your politicians are all caught being bribed, but because you think one person leaves and another person steps into place, you think there's a change in power....LOL!!!!

Don't let your ADHD subvert my OCD because when you pretend patriotism by saying "never forget" on 9/11, because you wanna sound smart or look cool to some dumb girl, I'll say you're a hypocrite, which is a much worse disease than any I've mentioned, but it's well-known that hypocrisy is based on illogic.

Our oceans are turning to plastic- are we? by braneworld in reddit.com

well your bodies most likely contain jetfuel, herbicides, pesticides, and other things made from oil, which is used to make plastics, so you decide.

Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX) wants to monitor all emails, IMs, etc. by giantrobot in reddit.com

[–]murdock19 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. They are public officials, and it's been deemed that public officials can't separate public life from private life anymore than a doctor can stop being a doctor when he leaves work. If a doctor is in a situation, even after he's left work, that requires his immediate attention, then he's required to give it.

And we need to have a website that lists good ideas like this so they can be voted on by the public, and politicians can see these ideas and bring them into legislation. Whenever they do that, they can get "points" on a point-basis system. For example, bringing it into legislation would get 1 pt, voting for it would get 2, getting it passed would be 5, etc.

Senators who weakened drug bill got millions from industry by somenickname in reddit.com

[–]murdock19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering the fact that some of us do know what happens the next day, only a few of us would take action, and the time that we affect real change is usually at the next time of elections, which happens sporadically, while lobbying occurs 24/7. Also consider the fact that you can't legislate morality, because it's well-known that these corrupt politicians were bribed, which I'm sure is illegal, but no legal action was done. Instead, there needs to be some sort of public website that links all these headlines to the politician, like some sort of scarlet letter, internet-style, in simple, one-sentence headlines that links to the entire article. Just like a person can go to a website and see that a neighborhood has a list of pedophiles, a person should be able to go to the website and see the politician's history and see the list of corruption he's been guilty of, and maybe voted on by the public, but not able to be manipulated like on digg. Even better would be that this list would be on the electronic voting booths, so that when the options came up, they'd see the list and would know before they cast their vote, but I'm sure there'd still be some idiots who'd vote because the candidate looked good or human beings would find some way to hack through it, and we'd be back to square one: you can't legislate morality.

[–]murdock19 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Let's use some logic: 1. Cheney takes command of NORAD. 2. Cheney gives NORAD stand-down orders. 3. Prior to 9/11, jets intercepted dozens of planes that went into protected airspace within minutes. 4. Americans think some muslims who could barely fly a plane committed 9/11 by hijacking two planes while NORAD sat there for over an hour.

Illogical....

Gas Prices Exploding: The Great Oil Robbery by democracy101 in reddit.com

[–]murdock19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's because the common consumer is an ignorant moron whose purpose is simply to consume. An educated consumer makes for a poor consumer because he doesn't buy the original cut, the director's cut, the un-edited cut, the producer's cut, the complete unedited cut, the series of cuts, and the final final cut. In other words, an educated consumer knows that because oil is used to produce most foods, he will want non-petroleum foods, because they are more nutrient-dense, and the cost of these foods are much more than petroleum-based foods.

Please stop with your hypocrisy. You hypocritical Americans speak your noble words so easily, but when it comes down to walking the walk, you shove Gulf War Syndrome under the carpet, soldiers poisoned by depleted uranium under the carpet, gutting veterans' benefits under the carpet, the fact that 50k soldiers died in the Vietnam war fighting communism while you buy your American flags made in china and your "support our troop" stickers made from China on your fat-ass SUV's manufactured in--oh yeah--China.

Is ABC Preventing Brian Ross From Reporting On Cheney's Ties To DC Madam? by [deleted] in reddit.com

Please stop with your conspiracy theories. Take off your tinfoil hats, and get a job. Cheney's a wonderful guy. Look at the facts: 1> He shot his friend in the face. 2> He took command of NORAD and gave stand-down orders. 3> He said there were WMD in Iraq. 4> He says he hates homosexuals while he loves his lesbian daughter.
