TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - By the way, the intro was done by MontaraMike. I had nothing to do with its creation, other than issuing demands and stomping my feet like a rotten, demanding child when it didn't go my way.I continue to be amazed that he didn't punch me in the throat and tell me to piss off. Hahahahahaha

Oct 11, 2008 - Economy Collapse? didn't you know Iceland is being sold at eBay? haha.Would love to hear your thoughts on it tho :-)

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 11, 2008 - A few years back, I was reading something on Iceland whereby they had a bizarre socialist tariff scheme going on, that resulted in practically all Icelanders having to work several jobs just to make ends meet....And then, just a few days ago, I read about their financial collapse, but how they had formerly been some rock-solid, prosperous nation. When I heard this, I was flabbergasted......How is a nation prosperous when its citizens are having to work so many jobs?

Oct 11, 2008 - logicjunkie looks like paton oswalt and sean astin

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - I'm not sure what to make of that... Patton Oswalt is brilliant, but definitely a face for radio, and Sean Astin has an admirable personality, but is also nothing to write home about.Are these backhanded compliments?

Oct 12, 2008 - Are you familiar with the arcane practice of Alchemy..... it can yield UNFATHOMABLE WEALTH ! ! ! mUhuhawuahwhhuwahwahWAWHawhau, BLAME IT ON THE JEWS ITS YOUTUBE BABY

Donkeyhawk Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - on a serious note though, corruption and greed prevail in humans. would you rather have socialism? or capitalism? or blow it all back ot caveman tribalism?

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - I would say that we have to first admit that since money itself is minted, originated, and circulated by the government, then any talk of a "separation of business and government" -- true "laissez-faire" -- is unrealistic under those circumstances.We'd be better off paying employees directly from the government tills, rather than giving it all to CEO's, and just naively expecting them to be fair and honest in how they pass it on down to their employees.

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - I mean, let's be honest: many of these ultra-huge corporations derive and maintain their ultra-huge status by means of sweetheart government subsidies that are lovingly spoon-fed into the mouths of corporate buddies, from their government buddies. ...So, since that's the case, let's just admit that the government is really what's investing in select people. So, why not just invest in everybody, in the same exact sense?

Donkeyhawk Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - There is no more dectors prison anymore and people want to string up these CEO's or send them to prison, they just happen to be playing with a lot more money than the average man(they are just as irresponsible though, they come up with stupid schemes that dont work too. What about the average person who cant pay back rent a center for the borrowed big screen and the couch and they give it back in an unusable condition?

Donkeyhawk Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - We don't go and lock them up. We are very forgiving, and this whole money system is based on an illusion since the begining of time anyway.

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - Actually, it turns out that Andrew Jackson may have been our very best president, as his one holy obsession was driving the puppet master banks out of America.Because of this, the period under his presidency was the most prosperous we've ever had, precisely because he did this for us... it's the major reason for the United States' enormous prosperity during the mid- to late 1800's.I strongly, strongly recommend that you do a Google search for "Zeitgeist: Addendum". It's mind-blowing.

Donkeyhawk Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - I watched all that Zeitgeist shit too, basically blame the jews and blame the Rothschilds on everything yadda yadda , I have leanred not to let too much of what anyone anywhere says stick between my ears for too long. the people hwo make this conspiracy shit and this atheist shit all have their own agendas .... everyone has their interpretation of history and also have their own agendas. You cant trust a soul.

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - It's always easy to blame the Jews. But God forbid you ever blame the Vatican or Vatican influence. And God forbid you ever blame Protestantism or even just plain raw Narcissism, which is what the international banking, media, and corporate mafia embrace. ...Because when it comes right down to it, Judiasm -- true Judaism -- is a silly, superstitious, and, thus, impotent little clubhouse mentality, the adherence to which must absolutely be shed in order for real power gains to occur.

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 13, 2008 - There is no way in the world that you're ever going to convince me that the sincere and passionate belief in wearing ANY silly little hats and upholding any silly non-sequitur rituals can ever jibe with the kind of laser-beam-powerful, logical thinking it takes to make critical judgments and improvements in this world.It's ridiculous.

Donkeyhawk Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - I tried looking up the words "non sequitur" and the definition is far too long for it to be something one woudl use in everyday youtube debate. Sure I was high but even if I were sober It would have struck a wrong cord with me. That was so insulting I couldnt tell if you were being tongue in cheek with that last post.

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - No, no... I wasn't talking about you, personally; when I said "God forbid you..." etc., I meant the collective sort of "you", as in "people in general". Haven't you ever used that sort of language before, to mean "people in general"?Anyhow, as far as my being tongue-in-cheek, please understand that, yes, although I suppose I sometimes have resorted to that with some people, I'm not of the opinion that you're one of those kinds of people.

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - Finally, "non sequitur" basically means "something that comes seemingly out of nowhere" and doesn't logically follow from what was just presented....It's like if I were to say "Well, you see, you're wearing a green hat, so now I have to kill you", or something like that. There's no logically valid sequence of causation to my statements or behavior. And, so, "non sequitur" means "not logically sequential".

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - The truth is, if I thought very little of you or anyone else, I wouldn't even bother using words like "non sequitur" when talking to you... In truth, I try not to think very little of anybody and, if I end up doing that, I'd probably just try to avoid talking to them at all.I'm sorry if it distressed you, but it wasn't meant as any kind of snotty thing.

Donkeyhawk Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - the "silly little hat" is called a yarmeluke, a yamekah, a kippah, or a kappel. The reasoning they use to wear it is explained. You may find it "illogical" but nonetheless they dont harm anyone with their hats. and even though you are somewhat annoying, you seem like you are not being malicious in the things you say, therefore there's not much you could say to piss me off enough to not like your videos. hehe goodnight.

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Oct 14, 2008 - Well, I guess that's not so bad.Anyhow, I do agree that the hats don't harm anyone, which is why I think they shouldn't be demonized like they are.

TheLogicJunkie Says:

Nov 28, 2008 - Yes, but the problem is that, with "e-money" (electronic money), it's possible for those with legalized authorization to just type fortunes into existence for themselves and their buddies, and distribute virtually none of it to others. And, what's more, you're not allowed to do the same easy thing yourselves, because ultra-complicated mathematical encryption formulas tag what is "authorized" e-money, and what is not.The system is the absolute perfection of evil.
