NOAM CHOMSKY doesn`t think much of RON PAUL or his Supporters. :)

Then money is king?

Nobody is king. 

But the economy is the most important issue because without a good economy, people like Chomsky dont have a job. 

People, and their ability and freedom to make a living, pay their bills, and have dignitiy doing so comes first for me.

I agree with this.

[Soul Crusher]

I agree with this.

What people like Chomsky refuse to understand is that when you have a horrible economy, that is when most abuses occur. 

That is what makes me laugh at "left wing" people who claim to be in favor of civil liberties and against capitilism.

The worst abuses of civil liberties always seem to happen in those places with the worst economies.

If you're going to criticise one of the most read and quoted people on this planet, past and present, you should start with your own orthography.

You people have no shame whatsoever.

If you're going to criticise one of the most read and quoted people on this planet, past and present, you may as well start with your orthography.

He is quoted by people who agree with his world view.  That's news??

Do you want me to review all of your posts and point out your "orthography" ?"

No, he is one of the most quoted human beings in history. P-E-R-I-O-D.

As far as my orthography goes... it may very well be worst that yours, I'm not touching that, but I'm not the one walking around criticising someone who is obviously a "few" notches beyond your reach, brain power-wise.

The Little Engine that Could is a nice book and all... but it's good to know thy limits.

Cheers mate.

So by your logic, because he is a linguist and often quoted, then we should all just listen to him and not question anything he says because of his "brain power"? Let me explain something to you, I worked at Fermi Lab for several years, and had to work/deal with physicst. These guys had the "brain power" that could solve an equation that would fill 3 black boards. The other side of the coin, they all lived on site, one guys wife had to make sure he got dressed in the morning or he would wander into work with what ever he had on when he went to bed. They all wore sandals, wanna guess why? They couldn't even tie their own fucking shoe's. Being an expert in one field doesn not make one an expert in all.

To my knowledge Slapper is none of those things. Why are you writing libel?

Quick, call Onlyme and see what legal action should be taken.

I'm speaking from Chomsky's intellectual perspective here. Whether Noam is able to fry an egg or wipe his ass while tying his shoes is irrelevant because none of them get people killed. Like I said on previous occasions, while at graduate school, one of the requisites I had to take was this political science class in which, on the first day, the professor handed out a text by Chomsky and told us that if we found any lies in his writings he would give us a straight A and need not take any exams. I spent months looking for the lie and found none. This guy's got a tight case. He's got a brilliant mind and has many people working with him analyzing many things. By contrast, everything that is said on TV is, in most cases, easily proved to be incorrect, at worst, or misinformed, at best, with a simple google search. Again, and as usual, you do not have to trust my word and I do commend you investigate it yourself.

I wish I could say "CNN is right, Kim Jong-Il is threatening unwarranted action against mainland USA"... but that just isn't the case. 

That is what separates facts from opinion: Opinions can be right or wrong. Facts are ALWAYS right.

So, if we're going to war based on something, and that something is unwarranted threats from another nation with nuclear capacity then let's make sure that 1) The nation does own nukes, which NK does; and 2) that the representatives of that nation have made repeated unwarranted threats to The People of the USA. That way we'll be able to spare ourselves from the "we didn't know" bullshit campaign that we get bombarded with after the usual MIC money-driven escapade. Unless # 1 AND # 2 are true then maybe we should stay home watching them lame-ass TV shows that we now have here in the Land-o-Plenty.

Physicists are impressive people.

Anyone who looks for another dimension, another, better, way of doing what we humans do best, which is to live, gets a thumbs up from me dude. Let's face it, without brilliant minds (and a little "acid") our ancestors probably would've never climbed down the branch and would've never started walking upright and on two limbs. 

Sometimes those things that we seem to believe define us as humans are not really positive, from an evolutionary point of view, but hurdles that we, in due time, learn to leap over. Like walking upright. We need more people that think about that stuff (physicists, doctors, psychologists, etc) and not people who constantly tell us that we need to cling to the past and not leave the proverbial branch (pastors, imams, rabbis, etc).

Nah, physicists are still most impressive to me.
