Roseanne Barr Pines for Madame Guillotine and Re-education camps. [krakatoa]
— Guest Blogger

Honestly, this sounds too stupid to be truly what she thinks. Right? She's going Kaufman, yes?

Don't get me wrong -- I think that deep down, most people on the left aren't above a little "re-education" for the non-conformists. Hell, not even that deep down. They are willfully ignorant of their hypocrisy in the eternal fight against "the man".

But the guillotine for the rich? That's just too ironic to be a seriously held belief by anyone with half a brain, and I for one am certain that Roseanne has half a brain.

I'm trying to convince myself this must be some sort of attempt at comedy which in her case always seems to require the application of Hanlon's Razor, but I'm thrown off because she isn't grabbing her crotch.

I like how she pegs it at just a bit about her own $80 million fortune. That's nice.

You know what? Between this and the calls for calling off those pesky elections, I think the time might be coming to take the tin foil off and start taking this seriously.

2 Bill Ayers was quoted as saying that up to 25 million conservatives needed to go to the camps, and I seriously doubt he was thinking re-education camps.

16 "Between this and the calls for calling off those pesky elections, I think the time might be coming to take the tin foil off and start taking this seriously." What does it for me is the fact that these people making the noise--Obama, Orszag, Purdue, and Warren--are the people whose side is arguably in power right now.

21 Barack Obama is a stuttering clusterf*ck of a miserable failure.

And it's hard to be sure she's joking because she isn't funny. That is: even when she's joking, she isn't funny, so anything that comes out of her mouth could be a "joke" just as easily as it could be a serious statement.

Well, halfway to the death camps, anyway. Aren't the death camps already located in Detroit? Or is it Cleveland? Newark would work as well. Pretty much any city touched by the Great Society Transformer is pretty much a death camp nowadays.

Roseanne's either a genius or impossibly stupid.

I honestly think she's using hyperbole to highlight the jackassery of the class warriors. In effect, "It's not class warfare, but it's OK to kill rich people simply for being rich."

And isn't she Jewish? Her remark about re-education camps isn't her first non-funny "joke" alluding to the Nazis.

First, idiots on the left: the modern car engine is actually quite efficient and doesn't pollute nearly as much as your pie holes do. Second, sub-sentient slime molds, you're complaining about what is perhaps the single most liberating, freedom inducing invention in human history- with the argument that it comes in second place to the gun.

Prior to the scheduled appearance, a producer told the teenager to "film the crazy stuff you do." The teenager subsequently filmed himself skateboarding and fell, where he suffered a serious injury to the head, and is in a coma, When Anderson said "crazy stuff," he probably meant homoerotic play in the boys' shower at high school. Or in the treehouse, or behind the mall. Just anything homo.

See, I generally agree with you, but I can also point out that being "free by owning other weapons" doesn't work so well when your weapon is a sword- you're still limited, physically, in how well you can defend yourself.

With a gun- even just a revolver- you've got a much better chance of defending yourself no matter how much bigger than you the bad-guy is.

Frankly, I don't think there is a *good* browser right now at all. FF's versioning system is not only inherently retarded now, they've locked themselves into a feature versioning cycle that deprecates bugfixes, and that's why I dumped them. I do not have time for that horse puckey. I used FF since it was called Navigator, kind of tells you what it took to drive me off.

Posted by: Vic

FF's been notorious for accumulating problems since 5.56 or so. I assume you've already done the standard 'disable add-ons' one by one, and or used the safe mode FF.

When my copy start lagging, it means I need to build a new profile and move the profile files manually to the new one.

It's a pain to move the files but a fresh profile usually solves the lagging problem.

188 @194: the editing widgets only work for FF, you have to code raw HTML for other browsers (or just use plain text).

FF 7 definitely is leaking memory here, but this machine has 12 gigs of RAM so it can handle it.

Marxism's definitions of good and evil are based upon who you are. No action done for the sake of the Revolution can be a sin, and no member of the working class can be considered a sinner.

Marx's very first disciple, Engels, was a factory owner. But, since he was working for the Revolution, he was inviolable.

Posted by: Bevel Lemelisk at October 03, 2011 10:48 AM (FkKjr)

202 But I am forced to add that "even just a revolver" is way off base.

Naaa. The fact is that revolvers have largely been replaced by semi-automatics for a reason.

Also, it's marking the difference between a semi-automatic on one end, and (at the far other end) a single shot. The revolver- with number shots, plus reload time (if you have that luxury at all), and so forth is a lesser weapon than a semi-automatic.

Granted that in the hands of someone competent the difference should be significant enough to matter, but in the hands of someone who is merely "familiar" it can be the difference between life and death.

so you have to put html in by hand, the old-fashioned way.

F that. What part of "lazy" didn't you understand?

Crossbow Posted by: Mallamutt, RINO President for Life, and looking to cause trouble at October 03, 2011 02:50 PM (OWjjx) Nope. Single-shot, requires strength or time or both to reload, heavy. Longbows are strength-based weapons. You can load and fire (most) guns with one hand a minimum strength, and quickly. Heck, I even saw a YouTube vid of a guy loading and firing a handgun with his feet - no arms. Mind you that level of dexterity takes practice, and gumption.

212 See, I generally agree with you, but I can also point out that being "free by owning other weapons" doesn't work so well when your weapon is a sword- you're still limited, physically, in how well you can defend yourself.

Yes guns made it better than swords, which were better then spears, which were better than rocks which are better than fists, but to compare the real contribution to personal freedom of firearms (which made it a little better, and more equal) to engines (the very mechanism of creating and sustaining modern society, it runs the loom, the printing press, the tractor, the foundry) is really two different orders of magnitude. The Greeks achieved much of what we have with guns with nothing more than spears and shields. However, their society was still enslaved to the labor of supporting it without engines.

The Greeks achieved much of what we have with guns with nothing more than spears and shields. However, their society was still enslaved to the labor of supporting it without engines.

The Greeks also achieved the engines. They had them, they simply never applied or adopted them, or showed any interest in it.

Why? Some speculate that it was because they had slave labor. Who needs an engine when you have 30 spare slaves? Who cares what will make work easier and quicker, when work is for slaves anyway? What would they do if they didn't have to work, plot revolt?!?

More productive? None of them are very productive. If you want more output just buy or raid more free laborers, they're cheap. Besides, making money is gauche, if you're really sophisticated money, you're supposed to be so preposterously rich you never have to think about it except to detest money in general.

When a mechanical slave would cost more than a biological one, what's the market?

229 There's a silver lining to this: States that rely on chemicals to execute the condemned are finding it between impossible to prohibitively expensive to re-stock supplies, with no relief in sight. Execution by electricity poses a huge list of problems that defending lawyers easily take advantage of in saving their clients. But with the guillotine, there is no dependency on foreign chemical manufacturers, none of the vast array of problems electrocution poses to the constitutional bar to cruel and unusual punishments; it relies on the ability to make and keep sharp top grade steel implements, which this country has a long and justly celebrated history doing, and gravity, which never runs out and is a completely pollution-free energy source, with no possible objections from AGW fans. Don't shoot the messenger - because it's a waste of perfectly good bullets. Instead, hoist (or whatever you want to call it) her on her own petard (whatever that is), and otherwise consider what she's saying as a purely technological proposition.

Crazy, fanatical, yeah probably, but some of us who support Roseanne Barr would rather follow her path than that of the corrupt politicians and corporate executives. While some of her followers would rather she accept a less-violent approach, imprisonment and psychiatric correction for example, we have to accept that she will make the ultimate decisions.

There will no doubt be casualties on both side; before you pick a side, perhaps you should get familiar with what both sides really stand for.

As for her money, she is an entertainer and writer, and came into it honestly. Yes, some of us would like to see a lower upper limit to the wealth cap, but we're happy to accept her idea as a starting point.
