Calling frozen frankfurters hotdogs doesn't deliberately or dishonestly reframe the discussion in an overly simplified, pop culture manner. Hotdogs might be an everyman's food for sporting events and children, but they don't

Maybe they meant a SD card or USB drive, but translated it as "floppy".

Your comment is patronizing, but I'll do my best. Pollution is still a problem for me. I'd say I evolved as I matured as an individual. There was only so much fearful propaganda I could consume before my curiosity led me to examin

There's some irony here though. It isn't entirely without value. The author points the finger while assuming his ideology is beyond mockery. Yet, for some of us the article is hilarious.

The bigger issue for those who object might be ceding control over personal energy consumption to authoritarian central planners. It fits with a pattern of usurpation of individual liberties under the pretense of emergency. Whether or not t

I'm not convinced that the author's favored political positions are above satire. >A blunt-smoking doctor at the hospital (Justin Long) is shocked that Joe doesn’t have a barcode on his arm, like everybody else, and asks, “Why

When you go fully inflammatory there's no other option. It becomes self-fulfilling. Stick with the original title if you want to have a discussion about The Guardian's biases.

If people care enough to exploit your game or buy items in your game economy, your game is a success. If it was truly boring, they wouldn't bother.

Agreed. I'm not advocating for a housing policy in this observation. Waiting for housing policy to fit with your ideal of a just world isn't reasonable advice for everyone. There are things which for practical intents and purposes

Winning 50 coin flips in a row is lucky. Winning 50 coin flips out of 100 is persistence. Quitting after 3 coin flips because the flipper sneered at you is called being a quitter. Maybe it was unfair and unlucky that he sneered, but the rea

For my part I won't characterize your statements. However, I hope you never have a racist dining experience. It isn't pleasant, but it is still out there. I'd rather avoid such establishments and let racists pay a premium for

I hear what you are saying, but I don't agree. Assuming I've never heard of MLK is a stretch. Was there no economic disadvantage to not serving customers? Did the state end racism by passing a law? If those repugnant practices wer

The entire premise revolves around the toxic topic of Ron Paul's alleged racist newsletters. If I recall correctly, this was an election season gotcha trotted out to stymie Paul in the 2012 season? What is his concept of freedom here?

Is your problem getting started? You might try using a simple to-do list to pick up where you left off. Otherwise, perhaps it makes more sense to work when you feel productive. Use that morning time for other tasks.

If we can't have discussions of mises.org articles, why is it permissible to have articles such as this? The author is renowned for his half-baked strawman takes on libertarian theory.
