Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What? Regulations? REGULATIONS ARE WHAT KILLED AYN RAND.

I seriously don't get the disconnect between the complete trust in government to provide a militia to protect citizens against catastrophic invasions, but no trust in government to provide scientists to protect citizens against catastrophic illness.

Seriously, isn't the entire military industrial complex just one big regulator against Red Dawn?

Let the market decide who gets to be dictator, I say!

The market did decide. The winner? The market!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Then what is your question??? Clearly guns are American and science is probably Communist or something.
