I literaly can't watch this

The small thumb isn't very comprehensible but it's enough to set my imagination unwillingly on fire.

/me starts feeling paranoid and itchy

Just ask any of the Iraqi citizens that cheered, waved, said thank you to me and my brothers-in-arms. Ask the dozens more that I had the opportunity to have conversations with that tell me that they don't want us leaving, because when we do "bad men come."


We have asked the Iraqi citizens these questions, and every poll shows that %85 want us the fuck out of their country, and %75 think it's OK to fire at US soldiers.

When you have armored humvees filled with rednecks with big guns and itchy trigger fingers trapsing through your village, of course you're going to appear nice to them. When you have events like fallujah and Abu Ghraib, these people know better than to fuck with anyone wearing a US flag on their shoulder. It's common sense, not some misguided feeling that they're happy to have had USA destroy their country, torture and kill their citizens, and send over a million children into the underground sex industry.

My question has to be... why would anyone start smoking these days? In the 'good old days' it was common perception that it didn't hurt you, and even worse, that it was actually good for you... but today, today you know it's got a ridiculously high chance of killing you in a long and protracted way... and for what? I just don't get it at all.

But again, how is what I said a bad thing? If the way things are now, in that it's horrendously inconvenient to smoke these days, means that more people give it up, how is that in any way bad? It means that those people quit... it means that those people will now be healthier and richer (cigs cost a lot) and live longer and be around for their kids longer (if they have them)... I see no issue in wanting for people to quit.

I think you both have very itchy trigger fingers for anyone who comes out against smoking. And to try the usual... 'well what bout everything else that may harm you' line... come on, that's old, tired, and pathetic.

Cigarettes kill you in a horrible way, they are designed to make you addicted to them, by companies, so they can make vast sums of money from you while you die, they have zero positive benefits... therefore they should be discouraged at all costs.

Alcohol? Not designed to be addictive (some people are to it, but that's true of almost anything... you can find someone addicted to most anything these days), has positive benefits, and when drunk in moderation has little to no negative effect.

Music in clubs being so loud as to damage your ears... indeed... I would actually prefer them to be a few notches down, don't understand the need for louder, louder, louder myself, especially to the point that you hear a 'tearing' in your ears because they're overloaded... but hey... that's what earplugs are for.

Cars? Sure they can be dangerous... but they HAVE A POSITIVE PURPOSE... I hate this argument of 'well ban cars then' or anything else that could possibly harm you... they have a purpose. What positive purpose to cigarettes have? None... there is no positive to outweigh the negative... and the negative side of cars is constantly trying to be mitigated... not so for cigarettes.

Spewing hate at someone for wanting to smokers to stop smoking is like being hateful towards someone for wanting you to stop stabbing yourself repeatedly. We'd actually rather like for you to live longer, not die an agonizing death... how is that bad?

^ Considering the collection of stores in close proximity and the accents of the ladies on the street, I'd wager it was NY.

Still, WHO DOESN'T KNOW to wash their underwear before they wear it the first time? I wash every article of clothing I buy before use, otherwise they make my skin itchy.

I thought he was going to run the laptop cooled by the nitrogen... Wouldn't that make it faster or something? For the whole video I was thinking "Cool, he's actually gonna try it... but it says destroy in the title... the screen must crack or something... but I don't hear cracking... this is never gonna work... it would be so awesome if it did though... my head is itchy... something's gotta go wrong... how fast would it actually be?.. he didn't even immerse it evenly?.. yeah, cooling half and not cooling the rest probably broke it... ... ... ... oh. Okay then."

I'd imagine that I just don't have proper technique, but I get a lot of irritation any time I shave with a disposable single or multi-bladed razor. I've never tried using a safety razor like this myself. Here in Thailand, there are lots of barber shops and I can get a shave with a straight razor, but I tend to get irritation with that also.

In general, I'm far too lazy to take the time to even attempt to get better at razor shaving. I'm nearly too lazy to shave in general, so I prefer to let my beard grow. I trim my neck down to short stubble with an electric beard trimmer, and I do shave my mustache area with an electric foil-type razor.

I find it very odd that many guys complain about beards being itchy. I leave my sideburns and jawline at about 1/4 to 1/3 inch, with goatee about 1/2 to 1 inch long. I get some itchiness if I deviate from that and actually shave, but once it is any longer than short stubble that goes away completely. As for looks, my beard isn't very impressively full, and a bit sparse in some areas (I don't really grow enough hair to connect my mustache to goatee for a Van Dyke, for example), but I still greatly prefer the way I look with beard than clean shaved.

Still, interesting to see how an old fashioned safety razor shave would be done.

This dog has him beat.

To me, this immediately strikes me as being mange (which is a skin mite infestation). The symptoms of it sound just like this, and I also know of it because just over a year ago our own young little Frankie (DFT's avatar) was stricken with it as just a wee kitten, since he was born feral. He had to have shots every two weeks over the course of a month to be rid of it, poor baby. Fur was gone in patches, including his face, and the exposed skin was very flaky and itchy. You wouldn't ever know that he had it now. He looks like a handsome black panther now, with a stubby little tail.

I tend to believe in the inherent evil of man, so ideas like this fit right in to my view of reality. It seems like this would be a natural progression of 'society'.
What gets me itchy is, if this is happening - what the heck are we going to do about it?


I think I believe even more strongly in the inherent evil of man, and it's why the ideas in this video DON'T fit right into my view of reality. An overarching NWO and coordinated effort by some secret cabal of the most powerful people in all the world just doesn't make sense. The biggest reason being the inherent evil leads the members to destroy each other. Watch the rise of every historical tyrant in history. The two final steps to securing their power is killing all rival parties/powers, and then killing off all challengers within their own party ranks.
America's '2 party' system, while failing completely as an actual two party option, does at the least succeed in keeping the corruption of the greedy and the powerful pitted against one another and makes the better interest of the general public into a valuable asset/tool to the corrupt and powerful. A bad system without a doubt, but better than the alternatives that have been tried from time to time.

And it makes really awesome, itchy necklaces that look cool if you were still in the 90's!

Those were never cool...neither were step cuts or a sweater tied around your waste

What the hell?! It isn't still the '90s. But... I'm still getting high and playing DotA.

BTW, I have one of those itchy necklaces. Itch on, baby, itch on.

Yea I can see why you get sentimental about it. Once it becomes a part of you, you can't help but love the little guy. I think that's one of my problems with going for broke and growing it out to make it a longer fuller beard. I've grown so attached to the one I've got, and it looks good on me, so I don't want to go through the ugly part of beard growing again just to see how it looks.

Oh well, maybe during the winter I'll have a good excuse to do so...you know how cold these San Diego winters get...

There seem to be periods where the beard reaches a nice stage and is very full and illustrious, and others when it is scraggly and puffy and gross. At least in my own experience! I try to wait through the scragglier times until I get the right length. Sometimes though it just gets so itchy and hot I shave it all off and start over. I've yet to really dedicate myself to a full, long beard. I can understand why you'd keep it short, as it usually looks better like that.. and I assume you also have a job! But yeah, I think the trick is to wait out the shitty inbetween stages and get that nice full, long, magnificent manly beard which has more character and means more to you as you've watched it grow over time. Lmao, getting real sentimental about beards here... Anyways, I'll check out that other site - cheers.

I definitely support the growth of beards. I feel like a phony now though. These days I keep my beard clean and tight to my face. I don't quite like the density or the way the hair grows when I let it grow out. beardboard.com is another awesome beard site.
