Does anyone think this will happen?

No.

Marx is a legitimate and serious social scientist, the father of sociology, and arguably the best analyst of capitalism to have ever lived.

Hayek is some nut who thinks that having a welfare state = totalitarianism.

Tough choice.

I love how he quotes bible verses and lies like the antichrist.

I think that's the norm for bible quoters, Grumps.

It also seems that Oldiesfreak, possibly due to being a massive GOP hack and possible due to his autism, is unable to see covert racism (which I'll explain below), which is much more prevalent in America today than overt racism (example of overt racism: "I hate those n***ers!")

Overt racism is the use of code words (often known as the dogwhistle) to scare or rile up working and middle-class white voters into voting for you. Common dogwhistles include "state's rights", almost anything related to welfare or other anti-poverty programs (especially after 1996), "tough on crime", and most of the War on Drugs, and it's what brought conservative white southerners into the Republican fold after the Johnson administration.

people who constantly complain about "political correctness" are 100x more annoying than political correctness

The greatest threat to democracy is apathy.

If you have poor circulation, that is a precursor to diabetes. It is only a matter of time anyway given your poor diet and lack of exercise and your disinterest in getting your life under control. You'll be on insulin shots by 34 at the latest.

Write-in: The recent trend of sanctimonious witch hunts is pretty bad.

There's a difference between "witch hunt" and "bringing to light and rightly shaming horrible bigotry".

Feminists have long been making the point they we're conditioning exaggerated gender roles into our children - hyper-masculinity included.

Seriously, DC. Try to know what you're talking about.

So why not rename this "twats on my facebook page double standard"?

Also, I can't help but wonder why one would keep "twats" in his FB friends lists. Of course you are similar to most people in that regard, but I've never understood the lack of selectivity in adding FB friends.

Because I took it off the internet and I'm too lazy to edit the image . Plus it worked for my snarky response to a bunch of self-identified feminists. As for facebook selectivity, you're totally right and I need to trim my friends list a bit.

Well, the guy who made this picture is not as smart as he thinks he is. Anyway, point taken.

frankly, every day I lose more and more faith in this forum's collection of virgin quasimodos and their taste in women

It is my deep pleasure to inform you that that is not just your opinion.

Perhaps the best thing Memphis has posted in a while:

This is where Iraq comes back to bite America in the Inks. We lost all credibility because of past lies and now that there actually is a dire emergency in the region, nobody cares. Just like Cambodia after the Vietnam War.

The menu is prime rib and au jus and yorkshire puddings and cheesy potato hotdish and roasted root vegetables like every year.  Please join us.

I appreciate the invite Snow guy but with all due respect that meal sounds terrible

Your poor taste makes one shudder, Kitteh.

If Libertarian Republicans want to be taken seriously, they'll put someone in the national spotlight who is not either stupid, an asshole, a gaffe machine, or all of the above.

It's true though.
