1. they won't be on the ballot in johnson county, tx... and if they were, they'd get lynched.

2. it's all a scam. i'd rather masturbate at home. >> ^blankfist:

I WON'T!!!

But why not vote your conscience? Something like Freedom Socialist Party?

I wouldn't call religion a scam. Sure, there are individuals that use religion to scam people, but on the whole, I think most of the people who promote and participate in religion actually believe in it. It's not a scam, it's mythology. >> ^campionidelmondo:

Calling all religions scams is kinda harsh and very negative.

Calling all religions scams is kinda harsh and very negative. These atheist groups are the worst and they act just as silly as the religious groups they oppose.

I don't forgive GM for their commercials last year where they gallantly announced that they had paid back their bailout money. Not bothering to tell us that they used the money from the second bailout to pay the first and that nothing had changed. It's all a scam.

What he said in the beginning:

"There's only medicine or not medicine"

Alternative medicine is all a scam. If it works, it's medicine, if it doesn't it's crap. Some things are considered "alternative" medicine, such as massage therapy and acupuncture, which are indeed medicinal, but other stuff like homeopathy and putting crystals on your body is completely bogus. And chiropractic can only work on your joints, muscles and bones - if you postulate that cracking a back can cure your infected ear - or whatever it is the bullshitters are suing Simon Singh for disputing - you're just full of crap. You're either deliberately lying to get money out of desperate people or you're blatantly ignorant. Neither is very good for your case.

(I have a serious hair up my ass about "alternative medicine", like I do organized religion.)

If by "evidence" you mean the testimonial of a money grubbing bitch, her coached kids, and a scumbag lawyer, and psychiatrist. I don't believe a word of it. Never did. I think it was all a scam to get some of his money. Nothing more. Sure he was a little fucked up in the head. I just don't buy the whole child molestation thing.

Thank you. I think most people have chosen to believe that Jackson was guilty just because the media has told them to / it's easier / MJ was quite eccentric (putting it mildly). But if you actually take the time to look into the case, you start to find out things like the whole family of the accuser has a history of committing crimes and launching phony lawsuits. When you actually read about the trial, it's suddenly much less clear-cut than what most people seem to think.

Ever read some of the evidence against him in the pedophile case? Pretty damning stuff. The only thing that people should mourn about him are that he was messed up as a kid and turned into a monster and that he was never caught and kept away from kids.

its all a scam to makes us feel goooooood

Hate to burst people's bubble, but the vast majority of what these "improv" guys do is anything but improv. I know a bunch of them, have seen many of their shows, and it's all a scam.

Most of what they do they've done 100x before. They have ready-made sketches for almost anything, and learn to quickly morph already existing sketches to fit the subject matter.

Lucky was right - Of course Colin had this one chambered. This is how these guys operate, and if you take any classes in "improv" you'll learn to do the same thing.

Abort! Abort! Mission Abort!

Attention everyone watching this video! Beware of mister edges and other hucksters like him. The belt sander that he is using to sharpen that knife should NEVER, I repeat- NEVER touch your steel. Any process of sharpening that produces SPARKS is far FAR too harsh for your precious metal.

For the sake of our knives please please PLEASE spend some time reading this article: Knife Maintenance and Sharpening. Chris Ward gives the best treatment of knife sharpening that I've ever read. He really knows his stuff.

I wish I could downvote this video. While I agree with much of the info in it, the process that he is using shows that he has no respect for the knives. He is only interested in doing as many knives as possible to maximise his profit. We have several grinders like this around town and I campaign to local chefs to avoid them. If you can sharpen a knife in 15 seconds, you are definitely doing severe damage to that knife.

This idiot has just detempered the steel, he may cause microfractures in the blade, and he has taken off way WAY more of the edge than he needs to, all of which leads to a shorter lifespan of the knife.

If he's like the con artists in this city, it's likely that he's put too acute a bevel on the knife as well. Why? Because knives that are too acute SEEM sharp when you first get them back, but the steel isn't hard enough to hold that edge. The result is that the knife becomes dull again very quickly, and the knife "sharpening" service gets called back sooner, which means more profit for them.

This sort of thing really makes my blood boil. It's just close enough to being correct that it is very convincing, but it's all a scam.

I use a whetstone and Arkansas stone to sharpen my knives, but I have had several knives severely fucked up by idiots just like the one in this video.
