You realize that one of the signs of a sociopath is a lot of sex, right? And you like to tell us all how you're always tapping that co-ed tail...



So where does depriving people of the liberty to procreate fall under your love of freedom and liberty...?

I'm just amused at the "far right" label on forced sterilization. It's an idea that gets support from the far end of both sides. Varus shares that position with John Holder, who was appointed by Obama to be his science czar...


Attack the far right if you wish, but it's the far left who are actually positioned to implement them. Just suggesting that if you find the idea of forced sterilization abhorrent, maybe you should be worried about a highly positioned adviser to the President of the US, and not to an otherwise influenceless okra farmer on an off topic gaming forum.

I never said anything about partisanship in any part of the thread. I was calling varus crazy (par for the course), and for some reason, you feel like defending him in some sort of bizarre kinship ritual.

Really, please do point out where I was tarring the political right anywhere in this thread. I'll be waiting.

Unfortunately, by cherry-picking a varus quote, even if it has any inkling of truth, you are loaded with implications of crazy.

I'd find that cute if varus were some sort of charming eccentric

Like the old man that played Ray's father on Everybody Loves Raymond?

Nonsense! To the gulags!

He's far from that. He's a ******* nutjob. But on the odd occasion, he says something I agree with.




Now that's completely different.

Let me tell you a couple of stories.

When I was young, my parents had to go on welfare for a little while because my mom was unemployed at the time and my dad wasn't making enough. So we were on welfare for a couple of years, and then my dad got a new, higher paying job and my mom started doing home daycare. Because there was now enough money coming in, they took themselves off of welfare and never had to go back on it.

This is an example of how welfare should work.

Now take the other 7 families in the neighbourhood that were on welfare, for example. They were all doing the same thing. The parents weren't even looking for jobs. They took their government money and spent it on liquor(more than anything else), cars, and fancy things for their houses. Their kids suffered because of it(the money rarely went to them) and they took huge piles of money out of the pockets of others.

This is why Varus is right(to a certain extent). If going on welfare meant you had to give up some certain rights, less people would take advantage of the system. There would be more honest people like my parents collecting welfare only when they need it, and less...lazy people, collecting welfare checks just because they don't want to get a job.

Again, another thing completely, if one is unable to work due to circumstances beyond their control, then they should be eligible to receive financial aid from the government.

Did I say fancy? I said fancy things, but not fancy cars. I've heard none of this welfare propaganda, I know only what I observe.

Point is, up here in the magical land of snow, cold, and alcoholics, normal statistics do not apply. One day I will punch a customer in the face for coming into the store the day after the welfare checks come out with their malnourished kids to buy baking soda, tinfoil, and listerine, but not bread and milk.

Up here, seems to pay enough to lease a decent car easily enough.
