Arguably he's already a progressive, just one in the style of an enlightened Kaiser.
I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Life's journey is full of ravines. Build a bridge or stop travelling.

When I read that I thought it was Ravens. Oh well, let's try one for myself.

I live in an age where the way science fights ignorance is by ignorance.

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.

Quote from: Tack
"It is the truest lamentation of man when we are torn betwixt two paths. The first, the path of honor is the path of the self-righteous and the path of the elitist, whereupon we must post in an offending thread to inform the world in general of it's crippled longevity; and the self-righteousness and elitism of such that post within; the path of Irony whereupon we airily inform our ephemeral acquaintances that they have unwittingly participated in the orchestrator's 'circlejerk' whilst clumsily jerking ourselves with our indignance.
The second, the path of cowardice is the path of the lurker, the intelligent and the inoffensive, is for those who have reasoned that once they post upon this thread, they shall forever be tortuted by its offensive presence on their "new replies" slate. These who unerringly realize that their little rants will undoubtedly have zero effect on the longevity of the thread itself and will only force themselves to be subjected to it's subjectively repulsive existence.
Woe most of all to those who know of the second path and choose to follow the first, for this is the path of the martyr.

Not mine, but a set I came across once:

"Find Harry Potter and bring him to Narnia.  The Death Star is ready for our war against the Time Lords." - Saruman
"I am Groot" - Hulk

"If you can't get someone else to quote you, it's probably not a good quote."

I concur.

You're probably our best narcissist here. How many people decided to blog their life an actually accrued a following?

Also Jesus Hell, McClellan, you can't just punch someone in a religious argument and then do the "YOU CAN'T PUNCH BACK THIS ISN'T A RELIGIOUS ARGUMENT NUR NUR" biz.
It is all levels of uncool.
Let the kid have his quote and his  of burgeoning god complex- who are you to stop him from quoting in the quote thread.
Because A) I thought he was being stupid for real, when actually I was and well... A pretty much covers it as my B point was a subset of A and I have no C point to satisfy my urge for odd prime numbers, so you get this instead.

Hard science is like a sword, and soft science is like fear. You can use both to equally powerful results, but even if your opponent disbelieve your stabs, they will still die.
