Stef, you said you dont believe in 'rights'. Can you elaborate, or point me to a video explaining what you mean? I assume you mean 'rights' as those that are GIVEN to individuals by their govt/state. ?

If that is the case, the Rights expressed in the founding documents of the united States, are rights endowed to every individual by their creator. I know you dont believe in God, so you could say, Rights afforded to you by virtue of your very birth.

Love your work. Just wanting to learn more.

Stef, you have better things to do than argue with the stupidity of teh internets =(

[ChickenBossPirate]

@Equity213 Perfect analogy. It made me chuckle. The analogy can be extended in that the average person knows 0 pro gamers (unless they live in Korea) so to get your ideas out there, you've got to pwn nublets.

I love Stef, but real pro-gamers dont waste their time pwning noobs.

Stef, a hotboxed dorm room is when you close the windows and doors and smoke marijuanna in the room so the smoke stays trapped inside. Its a gross thing that young pot smokers get a kick out of.

Alternatively, you could do a jamaican shower. That is the same thing except in a bathroom with a hot shower running so the room fills with steam also.

How do I know this? Dont ask LOL

Good video, and I agree about all the 'noise'. I personally wouldnt respond to as much of it as you do.

Thank you for helping clean up our language stef. Cheers.

I got something stef, the criticisms are not relevant to what the criticizer(s) is/are trying to criticize. It is like watching small bottom feeders nipping at some sunken trash, really missing the forest for the trees by blurting out self-gratifying non-sequiteur statements that only a really loose attention whore of ill repute could so seduce and leave you with bewildering statements of intellectual agnosticism. Keep at it Stef!

I appreciate the "accountability" discussion around minute 26. For me, recognition of the lack of accountability was the final straw to end my life-long delusion about statism. I'm STILL shocked and dismayed that the public at large YAWNED at the reality of Bush torturing people--an act I would have thought was PROFOUNDLY contrary to everything America is supposed to stand for, and one that I could never previously have IMAGINED could evade accountability.

These people really do need to think further back to the root of the problem before they start treating it like the solution.

This could be a series called "stefbot pwns newbs."lol (I don't want to be a newb so I;ll define newb in this context. It is somone who isn't very good at philosophic argument from first principle.)

@TerrierBram Actually it is called the Bilderberg group, named after the hotel they had their first conference at. Please don't try to school me on these type of things. Or was that just a petty jab because I made a spelling mistake?
