Life isn't fair...it's just fairer than death.

[Beeyo]

If you swim out to sea to save a drowning man, knock him out before you attempt to swim to shore with him. Through all of his struggling and fighting to stay above the waves, he might drag you under the water to your death.

[Kebrel]

being noble is a sin, save your self your family, your stuff, then help everyone else

Perhaps Winston Churchill can speak for global warming:

The era of procrastination, of half-measures, of soothing and baffling expedients, of delays, is coming to a close. In its place we are entering a period of consequences.[/quot]

You have at your command the wisdom of the ages.

Short version: You're a fucking idiot. If you're going to be lazy and inept and start yet another worthless forum with no purpose other than to pet your own ego, then try at least stringing some actual words together, you worthless fuck.

Whoa... very nasty!  When did this happen?

Try looking at the date on the post.

Going over the comments for Wang Chung's "Let's Go" music video at Youtube (it's a really wacky music video, like 80s on steroids):

This was posted on the billboard of a gym I go to:

It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.

It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.

It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Oh yes, civil life is completely irrelevant compared to militarism. While there is some truth in that strength allows life to flourish, this kind of thing demands total reverence and obedience. I spent the longest time trying to think of a clear, witty rebuttal to it, and I finally found a satirical example in Hermann Goring's favorite quote:

When I hear the word 'culture', I reach for my gun.

[ZeaLitY]

Sanity!? Sorry, but I don't remember having such a useless thing in the first place.

[Radical_Dreamer]

A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death.

A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence.

[ZeaLitY]

Distances and spans of time and difficulty unimaginable to most men are but the space between your footprints.

I modified it somewhat. Guess the source, the rest of you! It's closer than you think.
