Apropos of something, the NYTimes has an article today about start-ups using "big data" to determine if loans should be approved. It's...weird.

You have to admit it will open up the possibility of a mashup remake of “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Tron.”

You have the strangest moments of clarity.

Not at all. They're slow to the subject.

I could eat alphabet soup and shit a better argument than that.

I am far from pro military but guys like Chris Kyle are the reason your next films won't be filmed by Isis with you starring in an orange jumpsuit.

I am misappropriating this line.

When you say "guys like Chris Kyle," do you mean soldiers, sharpshooters, or racist, murdering assholes?

"In his memoir, Kyle reportedly described killing as “fun”, something he “loved”; he was unwavering in his belief that everyone he shot was a “bad guy”. “I hate the damn savages,” he wrote. “I couldn’t give a flying fuck about the Iraqis.” He bragged about murdering looters during Hurricane Katrina, though that was never substantiated." link

There are a lot of people defending Seth Rogen and Michael Moore's freedoms who don't deserve to be lumped with Christ Kyle.

But I don't know, Ty, I'm really worried about the imminent takeover of the US by ISIS if we don't have a few murdering racists on our side.

I mean people with a sense of duty motivated by unflinching loyalty to their fellow soldiers and country.

I don't root for the people who cheered when the towers went down.

Can you clarify: the people who are the same race as the ones who cheered, the same religion, or only those who are both?

I'm with you up until that "unflinching" part. Duty motivated by loyalty to fellow soldiers and country -- excellent. Like baseball, hot dogs and apple pie, that's something I'm all for. But when you throw "unflinching" in there, you've got a trite cliche instead. I know plenty of people who have served. Most of them flinch at some point. If Chris Kyle never once flinched on his way to killing hundreds of people one at a time with a rifle, do you really think that's a good thing?

Who does? It never would have crossed my mind to suggest that you root for the people who cheered when the towers went down.
