The worst thing about Coast is it promotes these ideas as fact to those who cannot distinguish BS from reasoned truth. Judging by the callers a good chunk of the Coast audience have mental illness(es). They make no effort to be critical of anything a guest says

the civil thing to do is investigate why they are on a hunger strike. if they have a valid beef, resolve it. else ... let the problem solve itself

Snowden is a patriot. He saw the government doing something illegal and spoke out. That he did so to a British newspaper speaks to how poor American journalism is

give ol' pete davenport a call and report them.  it'd be a welcome change from all the prank phone calls

what makes you think snakes can't swim?

i know for a fact snakes can swim. i was making a joke.  that given the ridiculous nature of these giant critter movies on syfy someone would call bullshit on snakes swimming but perfectly fine with giant anaconda vs giant octopus.  or trying to make a joke

she is a "doctor" of chinese medicine.  i had a girlfriend who had studied chinese medicine.  i'd never for a minute even consider calling her a doctor. bullshit bullshit bullshit.  dr falkov my ass

wait ... is this one of them fancy rhetorical threads i've been hearing about? 

is it time to say goodby?  are we listening to the same C2C?

Tried watching an episode of Walking Dead. Despite the fact they were in the open with clear sight in all directions the walkers were able to "surprise" them. This show is about as original as a turd.

I believe conspiracy obsession is a form of mental illness.  It’s delusional thinking combined with OCD and Tourette Syndrome.

and an enormous amount of free time

it's a placeholder till the site is ready to launch

Whispers Paranormal Radio podcast and Jim Harold's Campfire podcast. both are good

Amiga and Xerox - the true innovators.

and yet somehow they were unable to bring their innovations to market.  how unfortunate for them

Paula Deen failed to understand that she had committed the Original Sin of being born a white Southerner.  No amount of time working as a loyal Democrat or no amount of donations to Obama would absolve her of her sin.  Besides, that upper crust coastal Georgia accent of hers is annoying as hell - and I was born in Georgia.

i believe Paula Deen was poor single mom when she started to cook for a living.  her accent is not "upper crust"

it would be hilarious if artbell.com were reopened as a porn site.

Asian porn site. Not sure that Artie Pooh would find this funny. Not sure I care either

It's not just 1984 - it's 19842: German trains will install technology that permits them to play ads directly in the heads of passengers, without headphones or other hardware...and without the consent of the passengers, of course. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/media/10158311/Sky-Deutschland-to-broadcast-adverts-directly-into-train-passengers-heads.html

"Brave, new world", my ass.

I'm hoping people revolt over this. Stuff like this is what frightens me about tech. Any number of sci fi movie scenarios are right around the corner. For instance meat grown in a petri dish

I thought "John Carter" was the doc 

they're all docs. I'm a cylon. you're a pod person. Nbiru is the Death Star. we're Alderaan. MV is Grand Moff Tarkin.

any questions?

A ten year old could have designed that site. It's just a placeholder

how about a microwave / gun hybrid device that heats pizza rolls to hellish temperatures before firing them at unbelievably shitty radio show hosts?  do we have an engineer?

Quote from: Eddie Coyle on July 04, 2013, 12:59:43 AMHow come the "eliminate government" crowd don't take up residence in say...Somalia, where that scenario exists?

THIS ^^^^^

What I find comical about the ruckus that's stirred up around this story is that in 2009 PBS Nova did a show called Spy Factory which detailed 9/11 and the security apparatus that sprang up afterwards. They described a program run by the NSA that listened in on all electronic communications. This story is only news for people who haven't been paying attention. I think Snowden is a political patsy and that his story serves a political power agenda though I'm not entirely sure who will benefit. If anyone

you'd think it would be extremely difficult to be that bad.  you'd be wrong.  if you asked George what he's REALLY been up to the last 12 years or so an honest answer would be ... converting oxygen to carbon dioxide.  and pissing people off

i am pooping my pants with anticipation.  not really.

i'm not a supporter of late term abortions. they should be BANNED in my opinion.  after the 1st trimester i think they should not be allowed as the fetus is already highly developed. 

the bottom line is that women will ALWAYS have a choice.  if they don't want to have a baby they will find a way out.  if no legal method is available then they will seek out other means.  all increasingly dangerous. 

in making abortion illegal, you restrict access to safe abortion to the wealthy and advantaged.  a woman born to a family of means will be able to find safe abortion methods.  as in "my dad went to college with a guy who's a doctor" and so the wealthy have resources. only the poor will be affected by an abortion ban.  unwanted children or dangerous procedures.  they either die horribly or are made even poorer by an added burden. and in country that doesn't seem capable of lifting a finger to help that's a bad situation to bring children into

i work as a web designer and developer.  i grew sick of social networking years ago when people were badgering me to start using friendster. i have no love for facebook and i'm tired of the young computer nerds who think their app is going to save humanity somehow. fucking millenial narcissists

if we do a reboot then what do i do with all my fiat currency that i've been amassing all these years?  and personal property?  um ... nope.  no thanks

if you want to nix the Fed, go ahead.  and while you're at it campaign financing reform.  and no more corporations are people too.  that's nonsense

how did this country unravel so completely so fast? I remember as a kid - just thirty some years ago - that dayton was a fine city with all manner of civic pride. now it's basically a smoldering hole in the ground. what the fuck happened? it's like a whole generation was just asleep at the wheel.

so I turn on the SciFi channel because I want to see a giant shark battle a giant salt water crocodile. instead there's a giant octopus battling a giant anaconda. ridiculous. snakes can't swim
