    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    In the race to determine Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World, readers rank Penny Arcade's Gabe and Tycho just above President Barack Obama, but they've got a ways to go before catching up to Lady Gaga.

    I like the one from "John Dillinger" complaining that there aren't more photos and that the headline was misleading.

    the headline says "Photo"

    And if they did make it so that those pirates couldn't attack any longer then they were probably left adrift on a boat without a working motor.

    Someone should start a dictionary of blacklisted socialist terms. All terms must be dictated by a fox news affiliate to be a code word used by Hitler lovers.

    what I don't understand about this is that the pirates aren't exactly sailing multi-million dollar warships around

    the ship they eliminated can't have been particularly expensive

    They also tend to set out from ports in countries with no central government that don't exactly have a Bayliner dealership back at the marina.

    No, it's my sig from way back when Marvel Comics was having their Civil War event. A lot of us here had similar sigs at the time.

    Also, I wanted to quote this excerpt-
    Socialism is not a concrete philosophy of fixed doctrine and programme; its branches advocate a degree of social interventionism and economic rationalisation (usually in the form of economic planning), but sometimes oppose each other. A dividing feature of the socialist movement is the split between reformists and revolutionaries on how a socialist economy should be established. Some socialists advocate complete nationalisation of the means of production, distribution, and exchange; others advocate state control of capital within the framework of a market economy.

    All this is saying is that Obama is a socialist no matter what he does.

    Socialism is really only vaguely less feasible than Capitalism

    You cant have a purely marxist society in the real world the same way you cant have a free market in the real world

    The best thing would be for everyone to stop freaking out over Capitalism or Communism or Traditional Markets being the absolute only way and just mix the best elements out of all of them

    Or at least stop using the word 'socialist' like a curse
