Glen Beck is so dense the quasars orbit him.

The concepts "WAR" and "PROGRESS" are now obsolete.

The Economic Argument:

-Josh

Numbers never lie. People, however, lie often, and use numbers to support their falsehoods. For every statistic, there is an equal and opposite statistic.

Any number not followed by a unit and a source is worth 0 seconds of attention (Me 2011).

Glenn Beck: "I haven't seen a half-monkey, half-person yet."

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child,
I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly.

Meslo......Corporations dont use everything availble because to prove something works they have to invest heavily and the risk of failure not actual failure prevents them using this, plus it would be bad PR cause people like you would mock them foreven trying. Now as far as the military and intelligence agencies they have used remote viewing, and other outside the bounds of science for their purposes quiete effectively actually.

Well, I'm perfectly willing to admit that the cartoon isn't necessarily completely accurate. Nevertheless, there has been scientific studies of various supernatural phenomena done and I don't believe any study conclusively came up with a result that there was any supernatural basis for them.

There is no reason why that kind of ability should be considered supernatural it is not s much different then a boxer anticipating his opponents strike, or an athlethe getting into the zone.

Well, perhaps supernatural isn't the right word for it. Nevertheless, I think that my point still holds.

Maybe you can help me out on this one, Quantum... When did Obama cut taxes or deport "record number of immigrants"?

1) Those "tax cuts" were one-time stimulus tax breaks, aka, "if you buy a new car...", "If you donate more to charity...", "If you spend money on home improvements..." There's a difference between a tax cut, which reduces the beginning rate, and a tax break, which is a condition cut based on expenditures in other areas.

2) The news article doesn't count as proof of "record deportation", especially considering it only makes an unsourced claim that the government intends to deport 10% more. It hardly counts as "record numbers".
