    I'm not sure if you picked up on the irony of your post, but I will agree that this is a fitting #11.

    You do know that this is a list of tools saying really stupid things, right?

    I agree. I shouldn't have said they were all tools saying stupid shit. The bulk of the list fits that description, but those 2 are exceptions.

    Who are you talking to? Does it relate to this thread? Why did you pull up a thread from a half a year ago and go on a rant that had nothing to do with the thread? And am I the Jeff you're calling out? I don't remember telling you to shut up in any thread.

  • Ron Paul who? - signed economically clueless..
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    You don't know Ron 'Darwin' Paul? The man who, bless him, feels like getting rid of all who are too weak to survive?

    I'm not trying to insult anyone, I actually don't see where you could see that??
    As for Ron Paul, it's just that I disagree with his socio-economic ideas. I just happen to think that by getting rid of state based help the weakest people will be the first to suffer.
