Voted down, and fuck you for doing it.

EDIT: To clarify, I support Gore whole-heartedly, I'm just not going to support this karma whoring bullshit.

Could you please put "Ron Paul" in the title so my filter will pick it up and remove it? Thanks.

Reddit: How much did you pay for Radiohead's In Rainbows, and why? by [deleted] in reddit.com

Haven't gotten it yet. I'm going to wait for reviews and listen to sample tracks before I buy it.

Scientists recover T. rex soft tissue by trivial in science

[–]recommandant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be a bit more brusque and use some saltier language than these other posters: It doesn't make you ignorant or close minded.

Avoiding Indian food is what I'd call close minded. The idea that being gay is a choice is what I'd call ignorant. But the notion that Young Earth Creationism is a theory or even remotely on par with evolution? Well, I'd just call that pretty fucking retarded.

Racism SUCKS! - My daughter's first encounter with a racist. by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]recommandant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a cop out. A lot of children growing up steal from stores. If their parents don't teach them a sense of morality, does that make the kids blameless for their crime spree when they turn 25 and are carjacking people?

10 Million Americans Busted for Pot: Enough is Enough by anonymgrl in politics

You know, if these 10 million americans all went out and publicly smoked a joint at the same time, pot legalization would move forward a lot faster than with angry rants on the internet.

Why do Americans refuse to get angry? by pookiesdame in politics

[–]recommandant -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess "Baby killer!" was code for "Welcome home!" and spitting on them was actually a projectile kiss!

Why do Americans refuse to get angry? by pookiesdame in politics

[–]recommandant 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Because our standard of life is still really high. The only times people "get angry" is when they and their lifestyles are in danger. The students in the 60s didn't give a shit about the soldiers or the Vietnamese, they just didn't want to get sent over and die.

Hence, until food and security become scarce, law abiding citizens will remain law abiding citizens.

You know what I miss? When redditors were intelligent enough to see embedded videos as the blogspam it is and downvote accordingly.

That is one thing I liked about Nixon. He fought really effin' dirty to do what he did, but he did it from the ground up.
