Right.

Clearly she should be more like you--surfing the Internet and making judgmental pronouncements about people's lives based on what you've seen of them in a three-minute news clip. That'll be immensely "useful to humankind."

"Not every pursuit needs to have some great utility."

We're really just talking about Disney's The Grasshopper and the Ants, based on Aesop's ancient parable.
She doesn't realize that in merely 10 years at her highschool reunion, as their youthful charm will have started to fade, the people who strove to build awesome, challenging careers will be the ones who have grown the most personally and intellectually.
Encouraging people to do "whatever they want" lays waste to what could have been great lives. Encourage them instead to build lives that are useful to humankind, in which they grow more and more every year.

highschool male going to dramatic lengths to assert hes not gay...sounds pretty normal to me.

Whats its application?


My highschool chemistry tells me that nitrating stuff is often done to make it explosive so from that weapons.

In reality though I'd guess they probably don't really know. I think most of the time when new compounds are made they are only guessing at the properties and don't really know what they have until they already have made it and tested to see how it acts.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

If memory serves, in the original they also had the help of professional potter and dancer, Mr. Patrick Swayze.>> ^BagOTricks:

Making him a Marine undercuts the whole goddamn movie. The whole point was that it was a group of highschool students whose only experience had been some hunting and trapping in the surrounding area. Way to miss the point Hollywood. Fuck this movie.

Masterplan from the cameraman. He waited 15 years to do this.

It all started one bright morning in Highschool...

This is brilliant from start to finish. Why weren't there any teachers like this at my highschool?

How is R-money unelectable?
We elected a man with a muslim name, a socialist background, from an anti-semitic racist church who spent his last two years of highschool in a drug-induced haze, then hung out with unrepentant terrorists and visited 57 states, then selected a brainiac Joe Biden to be his running mate?


trololololol

Also, I'm a huge fan of Biden.

Unfortunately Romney is absolutely electable...because we have an the ignorant masses who think that the bible is more important that the middle class, than small businesses, and secular education.
Name is isignificant to election, socialism is superior to a total free market system, all churches should be politically ignored, who hasn't smoked pot?, the comment on hanging out with a terrorist is a GROPer, I mean GOPer lie. Lets dwelll in the world of truths here.


This argument is about electability, not song-writing 'prowess'.

Also, the argument is not about whether socialism is superior to free market capitalism (which it has never been shown to be).

The very reason we find ourselves in such a state is that too many people have no interest in facts. They have swallowed the "thinking is hard" brainwashing hook, line, and sinker, and can't be bothered to do anything but parrot the lines of the party their parents worshiped.

You know, it's times like this when mere words won't do. What's needed here.... is a southern gospel choir.

Wait a minute! What's this? Can I get an "oh yeah"!?

OOOOOHHHHHHH..... YEEEAAAAAAH

Thank you. Let us begin.

<southern gospel voice>
Ladies and gentlemen! We have before us such a man, nay, a child calling himself a man, that gives the word "retard" new meaning.

congregation: Tell it, preacher!

This so-called man has the audacity, the temerity, the something-else-ending-in-ity to speak such utter bullshit, that Glen Beck himself looks upon him and weeps for his idiocy.

congregation: Hallelujah!

Brothers and sisters! There is but one response that his inanity is worthy of.
There is but one riposte that is befitting such a childish, uneducated, dumb-ass train of what simple folk might mistake for thought.

I leave it now for the choir to preach the good words.

GOOOOOOOOO..... FUUUUUUUUUUCK.... YOOOOOOO'SEEEEELF!!
Let me hear it now...

Go fuck yourself! (yeah!)
Go fuck yourself! (Sing it loud!)
Go fuck yourself! (you moron!)
Yeaahhhh ,go fuck yourself!!! (one more time)

GOOOOOOOOO..... FUUUUUUUUUUCK.... YOOOOOOO'SEEEEELF!!



i love you
