Absolutely no one is allowed to call the way I was raised wrong or obsolete.  No one is ever allowed to say that.

That's a shame.  Because you were clearly raised in the wrong way.  Hell, your parents owe you quite an apology, because you got screwed.

How was I raised improperly?  Treating others as more important than myself?

If you really believed in that, you wouldn't be leeching off your parents like you are.

[Lambsbread]

I find that the more left wing butthurt there is for a politician. The more I like them.

I think this may be one of them cases.

Yeah, good job man. Don't allow liberal facts to interfere with your preconceptions.

[minionofmidas]

What are you, twelve? Moronic opinions that are factually wrong to the point of absurdity do not deserve to be treated with anything other than abuse.

Stop insulting 12 year olds Al. 12 year olds are kinda cute.

[opebo]

12 year olds are kinda cute.

Holy crap!

[Хahar 🤔]

The heart wants what it wants, opebo.

The goal of life, for all organisms, is to ensure stability for yourself, reproduce, and (for certain organisms, such as humans) also to ensure stability for your children.

I, unlike some reptiles on the right, am more than an "organism."

You do have roughly the cognitive abilities of the average mineral, but nevertheless you, and I, and trillions of things in both of our immediate surroundings are all organisms.

Kudos to Vosem. A right excellent burn.

Kill me now.

Gladly.  Anyone dumb enough to still believe in the link between autism and vaccines after all the effort put into debunking that urban legend deserves to die, or at the very least, be vaccinated.

Even I had to laugh at that.

Savor this:

BRTD, you treat religion worse than even the most annoying atheist of Christian fundie does. Because you treat religion as an accessory. To you it’s about what people wear, what people listen to and what they do with their hands a church and how hot the sermon leader is. That’s a twisted sense of religion buddy because you’re a vapid self absorbed sh-t. There’s nothing outside of you. Nothing outside of what you do, what you wear, what you smoke, what you listen to, where you shop or where you live. Everything can only be viewed through a Minneapolis based BRTD shaped prism. You can’t even understand why other Christians believe different things or worship different things or why people who aren’t Christian think your ‘Jesus is cool’ mantra is nothing more than t-shirt slogan psychology with no substance. You don’t care what people believe (or even what you believe) or ever take the time to think things through. If someone talks about a mass, or prayer or way of worship that means something to them because it’s not what you like you dismiss it; ‘Oh he’s wearing a suit, oh he’s playing an organ, I don’t have the attention span to deal with that because life for me is one big f-cking party.’

You’re the one who takes a two storey high dump on people’s beliefs BRTD and you have the cheek to call us boring? You’ve been posting the same topics, polling the same issues and generally shoehorning in things you like into conversations even if it has nothing to do with the subject on here for ten years. Grow up and move on. You think Opebo is cool, because you’re too unoriginal to come up with anything like his posting style and demeanour, or anything original at all. You know what? I’m pretty sure Opebo thinks you’re a dick.

Glorious.

Ditto. This is one of the most masterful posts ever made.

Long after the fact, but salud!

Dumping on Shakespeare should not be protected by the First Amendment. I consider that akin to treason - worse because it disrespects the English language (which he more than anyone else in its modern form gave birth to), rather than a mere political entity.

He was also gratuitous and whiny (setting myself up for something, i get it) and is placed on a pedestal for being the inventor of the cliche as well as the master of unoriginality before it was original. Essentially, he was the world's first bullsh*tter and is treated like a God for it.

You need to read Shakespeare when you become an adult. That is one of the most ludicrous things I have ever read. Sure some of what Shakespeare wrote are cliches - cliches that he invented, and are still used because they are so good.  No rage hath a women scorned, and oh the tangled webs we weave intending to deceive; all the world's a stage, but neither a borrower or a lender be for he has a lean and hungry look. Off damn spot!

With a mature mind, start with King Lear. And try reading the plays out loud with friends. We do that in my clan.

No rage hath a woman scorned was actually not Shakespeare. Not that I told that to the jury for whom I started my opening statement with that line.

Badger, you'll enjoy this.  There was an attorney in Georgia who did a similar thing:

Love it! If I ever go back to the Dark Side I'll use that for sure.

[RogueBeaver]

Considering how much of a retrophile I am, and since today's Record Store Day, I can't help but ask: would any of you consider me to be a hipster?  I don't live in an urban area and my politics are (obviously) much too conservative, but what would you say?  Discuss.

Considering yourself a hipster won't make you white, Oldies. Only plastic surgery will.

[Antonio the Sixth]

However, I'm a bit of a stickler regarding baloney. I was the kid in 2nd grade jumping up and down insisting that Santa Claus was not real.

Good to know your smug self-satisfaction isn't a new thing for you, I guess.

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

It's pretty easy to understand why a morbidly obese unemployed man who lives in his parents house and passes the time watching television, consuming junk food, soda, and pornography, and posting the inane details of his his life on the internet would relish the thought of an apocalypse that renders all earthly accomplishment moot. It's a disgusting, jealous fantasy and it deserves every bit of the shame and ridicule with which it has been received here.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

again, falsifying a no-planes theory is but a small subsection of the predominant alternative 9/11 narratives.

You know what? I've had it.  you and  your "predominant narratives".  all of them. Every single ing one. 9/11 is not a "narrative" concocted by some government official or whoever for whatever bullsh**t reason some crackpot conspiracy theorist thinks they had. There is no "official narrative" to be disputed. There is the truth, and then there is everything else.

Now go back to ing YouTube and ing 4chan.

Alfred is seriously one of the best/most underrated posters on here. Excellent work.

[Grumpier Than Uncle Joe]

Thanks, guys!

Mom and I are about ready to leave to meet Dad at Target to pick up my mini-refrigerator for my birthday.

Options for filling it:

1) High caloried and high sugar garbage and high calorie dinner leftovers

or

2) Water, juice, fruit, veggies......

Which do you think?

It's going to hold a combination of the two.

As in seven tubs of ice cream and a single apple?

[minionofmidas]

Who'd put an apple in the fridge?

America.

Since it's Bushie, there's a good chance that the "apple" he'd get would be pre-cored and sliced for "convenience" at the store.

Better than no apples.

I'd still not put it in the fridge.

Though I'd eat it pretty fast. At least they're leaving the skins on.
