uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuggghhhhhh

i'm imagining the movie brazil, on water.

yeah, i know there is precedence. the spirit of it feels different though. those feel like the target is in on the joke, not the actual joke.

furthermore, i feel more respect should be paid to this man in yellow coat for the energy he put into his art, even if i don't also love jesus with him. i dont like making fun of sweet old people doing sweet old people stuff that doesn't hurt anyone else.

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm..................... i think this video is aaawesome. and i think this man is adorable and i appreciate that he shares his art.

but, unless this is actually shinyblurry, i don't like trolling/making fun of the odd man out in this fashion. i mean, sure, we've all told him we don't like what he's spouting, i've even called him a douchebag and told him to go fuck a bible.... but this feels more like a group point and laugh. it feels wrong to me.

i want to cuddle the shit out of your face.

@thinker247 made an epic one about the life of rush limbaugh, i think screen shots are still up on my fb

btw, they've apparently recently determined that law enforcement lied about his having a gun. he was supposedly unarmed now, and they lied to make it look better.

russel brand wrote a pretty good editorial on the whole rioting situation. noone would destroy their own community unless they felt soooo very very alienated and disconnected from it, and their neighbors.
so what's making feel such a disconnect with the places they're from? capitalism.

Texas has open primaries. I've decided if I might actually get off my ass and vote for Paul this year, even though I think voting is completely pointless and stupid. But... I might feel like a vote for Paul is a way for me to register my dissatisfaction with the corporately owned toads on the rest of the ballot. I haven't decided.

i'm also making up a ton of campaign signs that say "nobody for president 2012". everyone should do the same. i want to see these fuckers everywhere.

btw, don't let the hype about perry fool you, everyone in texas FUCKING HATES HIM. he's the worst governor in history, and he's only in power because he is entirely funded bt big oil and gas and the evangelicals who've silently taken over all of our local elections in the last decade or so. seriously, i have no idea how he actually pulled off winning the R gubernatorial primary, other than voting is totally rigged. i do not know one single person who approves of him. luckily, the governor of texas doesn't actually have a whole lot of power. id say the primary is totally between him and romney. and id also say romney actually stands a chance against obama (because EVERYONE HATES rick perry). but then again, id also say it doesnt really matter who wins because theyre just 2 public faces of the same corporately owned and minted coin. theyre going to talk about how wonderful the economy in texas is! its kind of bullshit. we might have more jobs readily available than most states, but they're minimum wage jobs and rent (not property values, rental values) is skyrocketing because everyone is moving here rapidly. soooo you can't afford to rent an apartment with your fancy new low wage job so you have to come live on my couch for a while. we also have a regressive taxation system and a subsequent $27 billion budget gap, which we're making old people and poor people and young people pay for. oh and we have worse air quality than all the other 49 states AND puerto rico... AND we have the most uninsured people... and possibly one of the fastest growing drop out and teenage pregnancy rates... oooh and we teach our kids a batshit evangelical version of history, math and science. we also refuse to teach our kids about sex. so when they go off to college they have no idea how condoms work and think if you have unprotected sex you need to drink bleach afterwards.

also, all of the above horrible things i've said about texas..... all happened under consecutive bush-perry leadership.

everyone in texas mourns the death of ann richards on a daily basis. we're thinking of digging her corpse up and making it run for office next election.

too bad blanky, he's not singing a tune your corporate masters can get behind. so. he. will. not. win. the. primary.

no, honestly it is too bad.
if we're going to be a nation of jesus kissing, climate change denialists, environment raping, broke ass, impoverished, unhealthy, uneducated fucktards.... at least we can be all of those things without the perpetual fucking wars.

1. the us does not have paid maternity leave, some companies do, most don't. it's at their discretion.

2. what many corporate operations will have is short term disability insurance, which is paid by employee and employer.

3. many corporate operations will also offer paid time off, the day i found out i was pregnant, i did not spend any of my pto, saving it all up for my 6 weeks maternity leave.

4. the first few months of life are EXTREMELY VITAL to proper human development. even if you think people should have less babies (and most of them seem to be agreeing with you, btw) we still need a significant amount of new people born each year. unless you want ignorant malnourished sociopaths changing your pants in your nursing home, it's in your best interest to be supportive of strong prenatal and post partum policies.

5. capitalism is built on the backs of women. 1000's upon 1000's of unpaid hours creating future workers for the machine. if you want the best workers possible, even if you want less of them, it's in societies best interest to be supportive of motherhood. it's doing a piss poor job right now. and you pricks wonder why kids are so stupid and bratty and burning their cities to the ground? i bet not a little of that is due to the increasing difficulty of balancing being a mother, with paying all the bills. and in the end, motherhood is the single greatest risk factor for poverty in old age.

6. fuck your patriarchal bullshittery "live within your means, if i want bicycle around europe blah blah" arguments.

7. thinking that good maternity policies "incentivise" people to have more kids is silly. people who are actually fortunate enough to have planned pregnancies realize they're going to be raising the kid longer than a few months. and birth rates are on the decline in the developed world.

It's so... white. Are we sure this is London?


also, who in the FUCK upvoted this comment?!?!?! jesus christ.

there's even something deeper to the looting. like how all the worlds politicians and public official have been looting the public coffers and living off of bribes from corporations while gutting entitlements and vital social services. i don't doubt the looters are probably douchebags, but you can reap what you sew, governments.

@Yogi: see the video below, it's the same street the night before. The people who wrecked this street were simply profiting from the situation to steal stuff, nothing more.

yes, yes, bat shit insanity and conjecture will end any argument on the internet. you win, oh righteous one. i'm the miserable, terrified twat. i'll shake in fear with all my womanly sin until the all might god smites me proper on judgement day. amen. >> ^shinyblurry:

This thread is just full of discretion and common sense. <rolls eyes> Listen, it's clear that you're filled with anger at God and bitterness about your life. It is fairly emenating from you. Since you're spoiling for a fight with me I'll just lay it out for you. The reason bad things happen is because this is a fallen world. We're all sinners and we all deserve hell and nothing more. You seem to think you're owed something because bad things happened to you, but God isn't your debtor. He is your judge. He is merciful towards you because He desires your repentance, but if you refuse to repent of your sins and submit to His authority then you're going to end up in hell. Your self-righteousness doesn't justify you before a Holy God, it condemns you.

oh, i didn't imply that the goal of the video wasn't to garner the creator attention. i implied that the goal of the video wasn't for SEXUAL attention.
once again, you storm into a topic as a moral crusader and come out the other end as an ignorant, judgmental twat.
maybe you can't look at a boob without getting an inappropriate boner, but don't assume the rest of us can't use discretion and common sense like adults.
oh and @ForgedReality you're being such a raging douchebag, it just inspired me to text my boyfriend and thank him for not being a fucking douchebag. i'm sorry for the woman who has to have sex with your judgmental, immature, passive aggressive, socially stunted ass. in my head i just decided you were 16 so that we can at least all have hope that one day you will grow out of it. >> ^shinyblurry:
Yes, showing off your breasts in public isn't a cheap ploy for attention. That makes sense.
>> ^peggedbea:
i'm pretty sure that wasn't the goal. it was a funny, silly, stupid thing she can do with her enormous boob. i, for one, am impressed. my stupid average size boobs cant do tricks like that.
just because there are boobs in a video, doesn't mean they're there to impress men. that isn't our main function, desire, aspiration. once again, get over your self. >> ^shinyblurry:
So you approve of this? Do you feel that women should degrade themselves to get the approval of men?
>> ^peggedbea:
and as for you, give it a rest. go stand out the strip club and save souls there. or foam at the mouth screaming at whores at the abortion clinic if your so concerned with womankind and our dainty little souls. >> ^shinyblurry:
@UsesProzac Do you have even a modicum of dignity or self respect? You have promoted yourself as a harlot and you draw mens attention with lasciviousness. You are prostituting yourself and it is revolting.
