Tough to say.
If you say anything about yourself you sound narcissistic.
It's a good job I don't need to worry about that.
I think turkey has you beat, dude.
He does in science and mathematics, absolutely.

You'd be surprised.
There are people out there that think that having a mental illness makes them a special snowflake and pretend to have one.
I know, I'm questioning the quantity of such people.

There's people who think having a mental illness is cool?
There're people who claim that people pretend to have mental illnesses in order to appear cool. I'm trying to find out if people actually think mental illnesses are cool.

How are they going to get might if no one is bound by law to serve to enforce such laws?
. . .
But they are bound by law. And the government uses its might to enforce it.
Not if all the enforcers walked out at once. BAM!
Well, yeah. . . That's exactly my fucking point. They'd immediately lose the might to enforce their will. Like what happened with Tsar Nicholas II in 1917; he was replaced by a more powerful establishment, with a better handle on enforcement. The enforcers only lack the right to leave if the government has enforcers of the enforcers, who enforce their lack of a right to leave.

largely false claims of WMDs
I don't care what the public believed. 180,000 dead Kurds suffered at the hands of these weapons. If that's not enough to motivate the electorate, then fuck the electorate.

Not angry, just annoyed. Depression is the literal antithesis of "enjoyment", and if you claim that you liked it, you simply haven't had it. There's a lot of things happening mentally when you have clinical depression, but joy is definitely not one of them.
Enjoying something =/= being joyful. Again: masochism.

Rights don't exist.
So, no.
Alright. Then you are now officially my slave! Yea for no rights!
Rights are just privileges society affords you, codified in law.
Yes. But the law has no right to enforce their laws, so I still win?
Might makes right. Overthrow the government and establish your own legislature. Then you can tell the law it has no right to enforce itself.

I've always said that toppling Hussein was necessary, but spending five years in Iraq "rebuilding" it was idiocy.
Yeah. That was. . . Disappointing, to say the least.

No, I actually have to agree with Dustin on this one.
There can be a level of masochism in Depression.

All in all, the only mistake was pulling out every last US soldier and military base as if no one saw a resurgence coming

It's been a fair bit of time since I first went public with my "condition", and though it's gradually tapered out I've pretty much been met with charges of trying to be edgy or cool virtually throughout all of that time. I can understand why people would think somebody would do that, but does anybody apart from a few sperglord basement-dwellers actually think mental illness is somehow desirable? Is it specific to any sort of illness? I don't get it, to be honest. I've never seriously met somebody who though it'd be cool to be mentally ill. I can see why somebody might believe that in relation to my own - I make no secret of not having much of a problem with it, although it is by nature ego-syntonic - I still don't think any normal person with a decent grasp of it would find it in some way agreeable.

I don't think people disagrees with Saddam meeting Mr. Mayhem, they're just disgusted that Bush trumpeted a grief-stricken, suddenly Uber patriotic post 9/11 country into war in Iraq under the pretense that Osama was hiding in Sadam 's bedroom and that he had a huge cache of WMDs.
You've got a really poor understanding of what started the Iraq war. 9/11 had nothing to do with it, and there's definitive proof that Saddam had (and used) weapons of mass destruction.
I've always been confused by where the discrepancy lies here. The Butler Report in our country essentially showed that Blair's government lied and covered things up to make it seem like Saddam had WMDs. . . But he did, he used them on the fucking Kurds. Are people just conflating WMDs with nukes?

Irrelevant.
We live in a thoroughly irrational society, in some respects. so i should hide from an irrational and intolerant authority and remain in lockstep instead of saying, "no, fuck you, i like this, and i'm going to bolster my right to like this"
i'd get locked up or murdered
but i'd be a martyr.
That's exactly my point. The ideas of freedom of expression and, on the flip-side, freedom to privacy are essentially safe-guards against such magnitudes of irrationality so that you never have to martyr yourself.

I fucking hate when teachers at my college say this. "There are no stupid questions", fuck you, yes there are.
Most people try their hand at philosophy in very ugly and stupid ways. Hell, it's probably the same with most other subjects.
Give me a fucking break.

Saddam was a piece of shit. I would've supported the Iraq war had people not been lied to and a better job was done after killing him. However, we all know in what state Iraq has been since his death.
The only problem I have with that idea is that, following his death at whatever point in time, Iraq would've ended up exactly the same, if not worse.

You won't be so facetious when the government outlaws your favourite kind of porn. i wouldn't actually care though if they did that
i get what you're saying, but
i can't sympathize with it
i just think people's notion of "privacy" is, frankly, an irrational delusion
A "freedom to privacy", to me, seems like a necessary corollary of a freedom to expression. Which I think we all value, here.

Only if you can trust the authority in question. oh no, big brother found out that i like to watch interracial midget porn
what am i ever to doooooo
You say that now. You won't be so facetious when the government outlaws your favourite kind of porn. That's what our freedoms are about.

But only the guilty are nervous in the face of authority!
If you're doing nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide.
people always make fun of this logic, but
...it makes so much sense
Only if you can trust the authority in question.

They did have a referendum just last year in which 99pc of the population voted in favour of remaining with the United Kingdom. Whether what you claim is true or not, it really is immaterial.

About four police officers walk into where you work and you begin to feel nervous, and formulate an escape plan.
