Revoltingest, and other know-nothing engineers, should take a moment to seriously consider the HAVOK they wreak upon humankind. I just wanted to use this forum as a...um...well..."forum"...so as to point this out. Here's where engineering gets you:

Engineers don't know anything

What really funny is that it seems the individual who posted this on youtube may have thought it to be serious, as opposed to some of best work by Clark & Dawe:
I've been a fan for years. Some relations (my father, for instance) stopped being fans as soon as they found out these guys are liberal and more apt to criticize conservatives. Still, to my brother and father's credit, they still have found some of these clips funny, and it was my father who first sent me "the front fell off" (how sad is it that my father, born long before personal computers, is more internet savvy than I? In my defense, the guy was actually using punch cards to program computers before monitors existed). And yes, for some of their work you have to be a little aware of Australian politics (which I am not), but they are pretty good.
Plus, they have definitely shown that engineers (who actually build crap and do practical stuff) have nothing on us more theory-oriented scientists, who often rely upon making the crap up rather than an ability to demonstrate anything of utility.
So far as I know, the assumption that the sides are equally inane is usually unwarranted. But I think it does change over time which side has the most lunatics. When I was growing up 40 or so years ago, it seemed easier to find instances of Left Wing lunacy than to find instances of Right Wing lunacy. I suspect that any fair minded observer today would find that situation has reversed. I'm all but certain the pendulum will swing to the other side again over the coming decades.

Based on political correctness alone (much less the in-your-face media control by the left), that's hardly the case--except for non-religious issues. The swing from McCarthyism to The Great Society occurred with such neck-breaking speed, necessitated by the installation of an immensely more corrupt level of government under the fear driven LBJ coup, made the media's being asleep at the wheel easy (nay necessary) to ignore. Can you give an example of such current Right Wing (non-religious) "lunacy"? The mind boggles with all the examples to the contrary.
LOL! Looks like you've got your mind firmly fixed.
This isn't supposed to be a political thread. I just wanted everybody to know that Revoltingest is wrong. That's all. And I feel confident I've proved it.
I'd like to say that I agree with the above, as youtube does. Thus endeth the lesson.
I hate it when the front falls off.....except when I was a couturier.
Ah, I remember upgrading from punched paper tape to IBM cards.....so much more convenient for programming & making changes.
Those guys remind me of Bob & Ray.
I'm not wrong.
I'm just not right.
The pendulum is actually stationary....with a little dithering giving the illusion of change.
Only the perspective of the watcher changes.
We've an ample & eternal supply of lunacy on all fronts.
I'm left-handed too

That's beginning to look like a stock answer. What are you supposed to do when the evidence is all piled up on the wacko Libertarian side, and the rest only care about control?
I wasn't the one who brought up left and right wing lunacy. And it's funny you say what this isn't supposed to be, and then be it. You have strange ideas about proof.
The Pendulum is indeed stationary what with it being stuck between the far right Democrats and the socialist lite establishment Republicans--both selling out to the big money interests and the PC Media.

My engineering prowess and knowledge is the stuff of legend and song throughout the quadrant. I demand you remove this libelous thread.

By what authority, besides your own?
I would, but I don't understand "libelous", "quadrant", or "knowledge." Please dumb it down a little so that I can ridicule your knowledge which I lack.
