You should be banned, but I won't rat you out.

I like Levin. I also like Ben Shapiro, who handed Piers Morgan's ass back to him so thoroughly in this CNN clip

Tim, I had a dozen or more things typed, deleted, retyped, redeleted.

There's no use in getting upset anymore, nothing we can do about it.

Did you see there's a big push to get the 22nd Amendment repealed before the end of 'this' term? It comes up regularly, but with this guy, and the way he control's the masses with technology (Twitter etc etc), and the 'base' he's catering to, it could very well happen this time around.

For the record, I wouldn't go for that even if The Gipper himself asked for it.

Here's an interesting video on guns and crime stats

It was especially interesting to me as a Brit because to be honest I had no idea that the rate of violent crime in Britain is something like 3 times that of the US!

IBTL!!!

People are stupid.  If there is a trip to Mars, or Deep Space in my lifetime.  I will be on it.  I'm so incredibly saddened...

All government is evil. ...


Mostly edited for reasons of TOS.  Whatever words I left...  I tried hard to delete...

A dramatic increased in worldwide poverty, hunger and disease will hit extremely hard by 2020 and it won't matter who's sitting in the chief's chair, nothing will prevent it. Why?...

History has shown over and over that when the mightiest civilizations reaches it's peak from thereon they all eventually crumble. If the mightiest falls? so shall the rest of the world. 

The cause?.... human nature; extreme greed and corruption along with disrespect for land and life. Along with misleading beliefs, faiths and such; all a creation by humans (human nature). 

There's an old saying; you make your bed, you lay in it,  now times that by 2000 years and times that by 7.billion people and the complexity of the problem is revealed.  Resistance is futile, our voices are a mere drop in the ocean. Nothing we say or do 'here' will change the course. 

1) There is no evidence to assume that western civilization has reached its "peak." 
2) Yes, civilizations have come and gone. But that doesn't mean that western civilization is on it's way out. The number of civilizations we're talking about in history is way too small to be any kind of reliable data set. 
3) Human nature is also quite wonderful. In 200 years after the industrial revolution, we managed to more than double our average life expectancy, simply by the application of our minds to the problem of human survival. That's why I cannot take these doom and gloom prophecies seriously. They all seem to be of the kind "look at this graph which shows some kind of decline, extrapolate it 50 years hence at the same rate of decline and OMG WE'LL ALL BE DEAD BY 2050!" A lot can happen in the way of scientific advancement in just a few years. I am very confident about mankind solving all problems of hunger, poverty etc. What the world needs is the further spread of democracy and capitalism. Nothing has improved living conditions more than these two things. 

Piers Morgan has nowhere near the intelligence or insight needed to conduct a meaningful debate about anything.
