How Do You Deal With "Trolls"? (Geek Talk Post)
I think the first step is to not take the internet so seriously, especially those places where there are more trolls than not, youtube, the chans etc.

I've only seen one or two occasions where a troll was so disruptive administrative action had to be taken.

McCain Claims Obama Rally Crowds Call Him Terrorist, Traitor
I have no doubt what he's said is true, but it's a matter of degree and numbers. The people at McCain's rallies are practically frothing at the mouth as they launch those words from their spittle encrusted mouths. At Obama rallies they're lost in the crowd rather than being the crowd. (I assume there's always at least one idiot doing stuff like that even if I can't seem them)

Campaign Gear in the Voting Booth (Election08 Talk Post)
I live in Texas and have been well aware of this for years. It's basically designed to keep people from harassing those waiting to vote. Political signs are not allowed to be placed within a certain distance of a polling station, and attempting to solicit votes is a quick way to get tossed out. I'm pretty sure even things like shirts endorsing a candidate or party aren't allowed. I've actually seen it get enforced by way of requesting the person stop, leave, or remove their gear. Never seen anyone ticketed or hauled off by the cops.

In Honour of Captainclosetcase420's Gold, Umm... Star
US population is about 305.4 million, NYC alone is about 8 million.

Also not gonna say they're completely wrong with the guys are hornier than women bit, but I think their line of logic is missing one important thing, there is still a huge social stigma towards same sex couples being out in public. In many parts of the country it's almost an open invitation to violence or at the least harassment. So these discreet hook-ups are the best way to avoid that kind of thing.

In my opinion men's natural tendency towards multiple partners is exaggerated in the gay community because of the oppressive social climate. So much so I think it's been ingrained into the actual culture.

You've Driven Me Away From the Left (Lies Talk Post)
I'd also like to add I have no doubt once the economy stabilizes again the fickle middle which is now calling for regulation, will be screaming for deregulation.

Unfortunately this is what I think tends to drive a lot of policies, and why you see democrats voting for deregulation, and like now, republicans calling for oversight (they can't bring themselves to actually say regulation). They flip-flop on policies to stay on the side of public opinion and stay in office, it's not an excuse it's just the way it is, and in my opinion one of the draw backs to a democracy. That's why people like Ron Paul are so admirable even if you don't agree with them, because they continue to vote in a consistent way despite public opinion.

Obama has voted for things I don't approve of, the dems have voted for things I don't approve of. Sometimes it'd been under the banner of compromise and something just to go along with public opinion. I still support Obama and the Dems because overall they support the views I support. If there were a viable candidate or party that voted more consistently in a manner I approved, I'd vote for them.

You've Driven Me Away From the Left (Lies Talk Post)
I still fail to see how complete deregulation will prevent stocks from becoming over valued, banks from offering loans at stupidly low interest rates or extending credit to those with bad credit history.

Doing those things makes a company extremely competitive (in the sense they'll attract more customers than other banks), and it makes them look very profitable, until all those crap loans start defaulting and it becomes beyond obvious the banks assets aren't exactly what they were projected to be. But that really doesn't matter to the people who set those policies in the first place because by the time things head south they've made their money, why should they care what happens to the company? Things 'looked' good when they were in charge, so they got paid a lot.

So in a completely free market what will keep that from happening?
