I love the tiny European countries that everyone forgets about.

When the Treaty of Versailles was signed, everyone genuinely forgot about Andorra. So when WWII started, Andorra was fighting two world wars at once. [lol]

I wonder how the heads of these countries feel. Do you think they ever just say to themselves "what am I doing with my life? There are ordinary senators in the US with more political clout than I have!"?

I think I've heard of it. Because you mentioned it. Or maybe it was referenced in Kinos Journey.

The Ditto is way out of place in this group and doesn't belong. It belongs with techology like punchcards. An Atari 2600 would have been a better addition.

Heaven forbid anyone botch making a list of antiquated devices that where revolutionary in there time on the MNN.

The Medievals believed in many things we now ridicule, but it seems much more important that we now believe in many things they never dreamed of, such dinosaurs, black holes, cosmic rays, etc.

My point here is not that “all beliefs are equal.” My point is that if we assume for the moment that dinosaurs, black holes, cosmic rays, etc. actually existed or do exist, then our first concern should be not “how can we debunk all the idiot theists, alchemists, astrologer, and phenomenologists who refuse to give up their foolish beliefs?” but “how many more objects must exist out there than we realize!”

I wonder if there are any statistics about the amount of real estate in Brooklyn that's owned by Jewish people.

Peer pressure is a powerful force. Even when you don't go along with it, it manages to make you feel incredibly guilty for not doing so. There are a lot of times where I know it would be easier to give into peer pressure, but my perspective is so deeply entrenched in some cases that I simply am incapable of changing it to suit others.

I don't think that a joke about the disproportionate number of Jews in the financial sector of the east coast  *

constitutes racism.

-pulls hat halfway down head-

"If nothing is sure to result in victory, then you must do nothing". Thomas Alva Edison said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about nothing than you do, pals, because HE INVENTED IT! And then he perfected the stealing of ideas so that no living man could ever beat him to the patent office. And then he herded all of these inventors into a little lab, and stole the ideas and patents of every one of them. And, to this day, an annoying person who bosses everyone around is called an Alva! Unless it's a boss!

Or, alternatively:

"If logic is sure to result in victory, then you must use logic" the Greek philosopher Philos O'fie said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about logic than you do, pals, because HE INVENTED IT! And then he perfected the art of logic so that no living man could ever beat him in an argument. And then he got all the gadflies and herded them into a litle boat and then he swatted the hemlock out of every one of them. And, to this day, whenever there are a bunch of gadflies together, it's called Philosophy! Unless it's a forum!
