From the Absurd & Ignorant thread:

Let's not put Atlasia posts here. There's plenty of absurd and ignorant regular posts to go around.

Voting isn't marriage, it's public transport.  You're not waiting for "the one" who's absolutely perfect; you're getting the bus.  And if there isn't a bus to your destination, you don't just not travel--you take the bus going closest.

I'm just trying to wrap my head around the world where 30,000 dollars a year is vastly overpaid but $250,000 dollars a year will be left in ruin with a marginal increase on capital gains taxes.

Leave it to Florida to flatten the curve on the wrong axis.

I don’t know how you can pivot away from demonic possession, but I’m sure Lake will do everything in her power to deflect and change the topic.

It's rather ironic how Dr. Oz decries socialism considering how often he's publicly owned.

Can we rename this thread after someone less personally sh!tty?

Whom shall the thread be named after exactly?

Santander.

The Santander Salon of Simple Truths etc.  Or maybe Saloon would be better.

Australia

Sometimes it seems the country is a Republican wet-dream...well except that they have good healthcare and benefits and drive on the left side of the road.

This is of course unnatural and very dangerous.

Many years ago, a colleague of mine moved to Australia under a program that subsidized immigration by people with high-tech skills.  One day he was driving down a road that ran along a beach.  It happened to be a topless beach, and he got distracted.  He drifted into the right lane out of habit and looked up just in time to see an oncoming truck.  He drove off the road, had a bad wreck, and spent two months in the hospital.  After being released, he concluded that Australia was not a healthy environment for him and moved back to the U.S.

Not all stupid people are nazis, but all nazis are stupid people.

I would disagree with this on the grounds that some Nazis are highly intelligent (and therefore more dangerous).  Substitute "evil" for "stupid" and I'd agree.

Calm down. There are worse things in the world than defending a democracy from a murderous dictator.
