Jrodefeld and aigonz are currently babbling in Great Debates. [Jro](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=575129), is a crazy person who thinks that Ron Paul is a god walking among us, homeopathy is real, deflation is wonderful, and vaccines are evil. [Aig](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=576355)thinks that the fact that baseline humans don’t want to fuck children is evidence for the existence of God. Both are stupid, both revel in ignorance. And neither is worth of a pitting on their own. Thus the twofer. Seriously you fucking mung-chuggers. This place is to fight ignorance. Please try to understand reality. Kthxbi! ---

“That which does not kill me makes me stronger” Nietzsche said that. Of course, he was crazy as a duck on acid, but made some pretty snappy quotes. ---

Don’t forget ‘gold doesn’t fluctuate in value’ that one really cracks me up. ITR’s responses are so much fun to read on that topic. That thread is great to check up on every few days, if you skip over the cut-n-pastes it’s not that long either! 😉 ---

> [@elucidator](#): > > “That which does not kill me makes me stronger” Nietzsche said that. Of course, he was crazy as a duck on acid, but made some pretty snappy quotes. Several times in the last couple of days the Sting song in which he quotes this has come around. Now I laugh, because I’ve heard it enough to substitute a different word that fits the song and the saying much better. Nietzsche was a fool. The saying should be; “That which does not kill me makes me suffer”. 😃 ---

I don’t know the guy but a quick perusing shows he hits the psych triage trifecta with Austrian economics, homeopathy and the Ayn Rand fetish. > [@elucidator](#): > > “That which does not kill me makes me stronger” Nietzsche said that. Of course, he was crazy as a duck on acid, but made some pretty snappy quotes. It’s been a while, but I think he may actually have made more sense the further he sank into syphilis-induced insanity. ---

I was going to check if historically it was true that workers had it better during the industrial revolution and robber baron eras. (It depends on who do you ask and what metric you use, but several economists do add the costs caused by lack of hygiene and other problems caused by crowded conditions and poverty) The links jrodfield got sound like arguments made by slave owners claiming that their slaves also had it good back then. Of course, ignoring items like child labor, lack of security in fabrics and lack of social security nets that took place back then are ignored to make his “world” work. But what made me realize that he is a lost cause is that he will ignore scientific evidence regarding health remedies and cures, it is clear that he is not capable of discriminating between good and bad sources. (He is still swallowing all those fake quotes from the founding fathers after all) ---

Just goes to show that you’re too lazy to spend most of your waking hours wading through the undeniable facts that **jrodefeld** has marshalled to educate you. The very least you can do is spend a few hours a day on [rense.com](http://rense.com) and whale.to (a couple of **jro** ’s dependable websites) to get an inkling of what They don’t want you to know. 😕:eek:😕☹ ---

Ha! Before I saw that, the Conspiracy Theory thread actually got me of a mind to go to [Rense.com](http://Rense.com) for the first time in several years. I lasted about 20 seconds before I had to bail. I used to consider that site a barrel of laughs.
