Craig Ferguson does a bit on **Rand Rover**? I find that hard to believe, since he famously stopped making fun of Britney Spears out of pity when she became too pathetic and sad. ---

> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > Nope. I don’t think property ownership is objectively the best idea (that is absurd). I am simply able to argue for the idea on a policy level (ie, showing why it yields results that I can argue are better than other policies). Liberals generally can’t do that–they generally instead argue on the basis of fairness (witness the use of toddler analogies and terms such as “social justice”). But **Kimstu’s** toddler argument is one that suggests problems arise in a practical sense, not one of fairness. Moreover, if people at large tend to believe in some concept of “fairness”, then that dictates their behaviour, transforming it into a practical concept. It’s necessary to include it in any argument on a policy level, because people implement policy. ---

Advantage falls to which side when an Ann Coulter thread runs this long? ---

Probably the side of people who never thought to open it when a full read might have more manageable. ---

But if you so much as hint at…the name that sounds kinda like “sanitarium”…even so much as hint, and we will hunt you down. ---

Why? Having whatsisfoam actually be the Republican nominee would force him to try to get non-Republicans to vote for him. I, personally, am rooting for anyone who isn’t Romney to be the nominee because that makes the Republicans even less likely to win the presidency. Just between you and me, I don’t think they’d do a very good job. ---

Yeah, maybe I should just relax. I only live four hours from the border, if he got elected I could probably make it across before the Canadians close it. ---

> [@Rand\_Rover](#): > > Under your approach, Oscar Schindler could have been more of a Nazi than Hitler with addeitional mental problems that made him compulsively help Jews. Most rational people would just say that it appears that OS was not a racist. I think most rational people would conclude that it’s evidence that Oskar Schindler simply wasn’t as racist as Hitler.
