I was just reading your back and forth with Fade from 3 months ago. Hahahahahahaha, I laughed good.


My friend and his g/f are useless when it comes to cooking..fixing just general simple things, It is so pathetic how people buy grated cheese,

1- you pay more..LOTS MORE
2- it allows the cheese more surface area corrupting the taste
3- its stupid


Once I got my buddy onto buying a 8 dollar BLOCK of cheese and spending five dollars on a grater his life was changed. I had to actually bite me lip when the two of them where in the kitchen saying " its so much cheaper" etc etc... people are inherently lazy,stupid and ill equipped to deal with life.

I blame the parents.

Thank you very much!

What an impact. Much appreciated.

THANK YOU!!

Very nice sentiments but I'm glad you didn't waste the power points! I'm a non-entity around here, which is how I like it.

Right on dude. I knew from the first second I saw the boognish that you were a reasonable, sober and classy individual. I almost promoted this comment.

I came across this just now (making my monitor all sticky...ba-dum-ching) and having spent 99% of my time on the front page and unsifted, I have had little to say about very much of the goings-on here on sift talk. It's amazing what you miss when you sincerely do not give a rusty fuck what you egomaniacs have to say to one another.

Speaking as your elder, all of this is bullshit. It's completely meaningless and you have no idea how short life is. How possibly could you? Far too short to make so many mountains out of so few molehills.

There, I've fulfilled my annual sift talk post quota. Back to the playground with you, I'll be in the Teacher's Lounge finishing my cigarette.

My take on it is that it's horrible and misguided that the right keeps reigniting old debates I thought civilized society put to bed a looooong time ago (like torture, collecting evidence without warrants, imprisoning people without trial, separation of church and state, Title 2 and 7 of the Civil Rights Act, etc.). This is just another in a long line.

For me, I keep wanting to ask people "why do you care?" I mean, isn't it a good thing if people from Ireland or Mexico want to come here? Why not let anyone who wants to be a citizen just do the paperwork and background checks and become a citizen? If they come here, and make a life here even without legal status, and have kids here, what's the big deal?

If it's a matter of them not obeying our normal (as opposed to immigration) laws, or not paying their taxes, then we should deal with them in the same way as a citizen who breaks the law or doesn't pay their taxes.

The goal of this movement is to give government the power to deport whole immigrant families, including children born to illegal immigrants, without the complication of having to come up with a legal justification for "deporting" their natural-born US citizen children or forcibly splitting up the family by deporting the parents only.

Why is that so important to people that they want to alter an Amendment that was passed largely to overrule the Dred Scott decision?

I just don't get what people are thinking.

Hey dude, what's your take on this fourteenth amendment bullshit? My wife discussed it a little bit with her co-workers this morning and they brought up some new: people-come-here-from-Ireland-etc-for-better-birth-care-and-their-kids-incidentally-become-citizens thing. I don't think I can support removing the 14th amendment for any reason but my wife's co-workers all seems to think it's a good idea.

Now here's the disturbing part: it's not like my wife works for some right-wing think tank. She's a social worker for the state of Oregon DHS...

Happy anniversary BTW.

brilliant!

I held off watching, expecting a grammar-nazi style rant. Pleasantly surprised by the actual answer!



Your second sentence is actually a dependent clause because there is no subject. Which means the two statements below should be separated by a comma.

You f*&^ing ignorant slob.
