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
"De Tocqueville, who's a French guy, came in 1832 and recognized and wrote back -- wrote a treatise about what it means to go to a country where people have -- associate voluntarily to serve their communities."
I love this SO MUCH.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I love this SO MUCH.
If he weren't so damn powerful, if he were just the smiley guy who stands on the corner in his bathrobe waving at the buses, it'd be endearing. If only.

That one was very nice. This one's scarier:
You know, for example, you'll be confronted with a very difficult debate between science, on the one hand, and the hopes of science, and life.
Damn that anti-life science!

Hm. Maybe that's why all the funding to my group of Doomsday Physicists got cut. We were really hoping to get that 450-A-258 Space Modulator up and running to blow up the Earth within the next couple of years.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Anglican leader opposes creationism in school
LONDON - The spiritual leader of the world’s Anglicans does not believe that creationism — the Bible-based account of the world’s origins — should be taught in schools.
...
Williams, head of a church that has no problem with the Darwinian theory of evolution, told The Guardian newspaper: “I think creationism is, in a sense, a kind of category mistake, as if the Bible were a theory, like other theories.”
...
“Religion has become politicized in America. That is not the case here. This is not a major issue,” religious commentator and broadcaster Clifford Longley told Reuters. “There is no intellectual credibility given to creationism in this country. There is no parallel between English evangelicals and American evangelicals.
"When I wrote an article saying there were no creationists in Britain, they both wrote to me.”
Heh.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"When I wrote an article saying there were no creationists in Britain, they both wrote to me.”
Oh, fuck that's funny.

Well, the government shouldn't be funding such things. I really think that the development of doomsday technology should be left to the marketplace. Let the various evil masterminds compete to come up with the most efficient way to destroy the world.
