I suspect the writer is just trolling Is an article in Vice magazine. Their raison d'être is cultural trolling. I tend to like a lot of their articles, but you have to remember that they are a free magazine with a shit ton of very expensi

So from your example, ~10% contained really good information, and this was found using a meta study, conducted by scientists. And you are using that as an example of how you should give scientific research no weight at all? Why do you give

Someone should break into the gallery in pink-panther style, fold up one of the paintings along the crease lines, then sign it and number it with their own telephone number and leave it on display in the middle of the floor. That would defi

Well, I've read through a bit of his stuff that I found on Project Gutenberg. Personally, I prefer the outlook of Diogenes. [edit] And don't get me started on Aristotle's politics, which in my view were largely self interested, shallow and

Have you seen Law Enforcement Against Prohibition - http://www.leap.cc/ ? They appear to be a rare bastion of sanity on the subject. I keep meaning to buy one of their t-shirts.

The US didn't win the cold war, the USSR stopped playing due to an insolvency of mostly their own creation. And the same could happen to the US if it is not extremely careful over the next decade or so.

You are welcome. You can have it if you like. I found it in a dank crevice next to a bewildered field-mouse, whilst searching forlornly for my missing marbles.

If Inman has any sense at all (which he certainly seems to), he should sit back with some popcorn at this point, watch the ensuing carnage, and just wait for the day when he gets to photograph the money and that disturbing bear-love drawing

I would rather be able to use a camera in places it might get nicked, than keep it at home just in case it might get stolen.

I suspect that this is more about funnyjunk demanding $20,000 for him publicly complaining about them hosting his work without asking. A more accurate metaphor would be if the pirate bay tried to sue HBO for calling them names, which I doub
