    War.

    Pretty basic.

    It is good for absolutely nothin'

    except for freing ppl from opression.


    Fighting for peace is like screwing for virginity - George Carlin.

    Im sure the jews and ppl of Europe would disagree with you.

    Now you're just making stuff up. Those people don't really exist, they are a fairy tale. A myth like Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, or Eskimos.

    Have you ever seen an Eskimo and a Jew in the same place at the same time?

    Using the bathroom stall right next to me when there's a buffer available!! COME ON MAN!!!!

    Too funny, I was telling my co-worker this yesterday. Why wont people at least move to the stall over one, if open. But noooooo they want to sit right next to you.
  • I'm glad that works for you! Not all chicks can afford to stay home and juice a fat paycheck. I am a take charge kind of chick; I've never had anyone to take care of me and I don't need anyone to take care of me. I love it that way. It builds character, strength, and compassion. I suppose we would not get along very well...

    You can juice my fat paycheck anytime.
    With love,
    Burt.

    aahhhh, screw what I said earlier.... How are you, Burt? :wink:

    My biggest peeve at the moment are so-called pro-lifers who want to stop abortions, but yet do not support proper sex ed, access to birth control, nor programs that would help impoverished families. It just tells me that it's not about "saving babies" to them. It's about controlling the sex lives and live in general, of women. They stop giving a damn once the umbilical cord is severed. These are the same people who think women who got raped deserved it because they DARE to enjoy non-procreative sex, and the same people who want women to be forced to carry fatally ill fetuses to term, only to watch them die or have them die during birth, and the same people who push adoption, while ignoring the fact that the adoption system is overwhelmed as is, and ignoring the fact that some women may be hurt far more by adoption than abortion. In other words, people who think women are too stupid to make their own choices regarding their fertility......

    teens getting pregnant and expecting their family/ the state to pay for everything.
    also the people that think ^ is okay.

    :huh: I don't think anyone thinks teen pregnancies are okay. Studies show that many teens - and only slightly fewer adults - know about fertility and proper birth control methods. I saw someone the other day recommend "pulling out" over birth control pills or an IUD to a person with a latex allergy. Many young people: don't know about birth control; think they're too young to get it; are afraid that their parents will find out if they try to get birth control; or are told by sex ed teachers that their chances of getting STD's or pregnant are the same with a condom as without, and therefore consider it useless. With all of this misinformation, I don't think kids know or realize the effects of teen pregnancy (except "everyone will know I had sex" and "I'll be responsible for a small, fragile human being"). I certainly don't think they look at having sex and think, "the consequences of my actions are going to have an effect on the state that I live in."

    They use the term "pro-lifers", I prefer to use "deluded and dangerous psychopaths".

    Most of the time I use the term "anti-choice". They're not giving the woman any choice in the matter, except to carry to term.

    I am saddened each and every time I am out and about with my children at just how rude, intolerant, impatient and sometimes just plain mean many people are towards my kids.

    My brother works as the "Target Cop" and was called outside because some guy was wailing on his wife in the parking lot. Bet her to a bloody pulp. He said he ran out to stop it and there were probably 30 customers standing around watching, not ONE of them tried to stop it.

    That makes me lose faith in humanity.

    that's disgusting and has happened to me before. Not a bloody pulp, but he was beating me and his friends just stood there and watched. Some people are repulsive.

    I've been there also. Beat me until my head split open and my neighbors 10 feet away, and an another neighbor on the other side didn't even call for help despite my yelling for them to call 911. I had to walk 3 blocks to a family member's house since he smashed my phone. For an abused young girl, that added a whole other level of embarrassment to the situation.

    I suppose that is why it disgusts me!

    I would also like to add: parents who think that allowing their children access to contraception and sex education is somehow going to turn them into serial sluts, who think that if they bury their head in the sand and talk to their children like sex is evil and doesn't exist then somehow they're just going to completely ignore all those irrepressible biological urges surging through them throughout their adolescence. They won't, they'll just do it anyway, because it's what they're programmed to do, and nothing you say or do is going to stop them, all it means is you're putting them at risk of catching something or getting pregnant.

    Cops who see you with children in the pouring rain on a dark country road trying to change a flat tire and don't bother to stop or even ask if everything is ok.

    ANYONE seeing you with children in the pouring rain ANYWHERE trying to change a flat tire and don't bother to stop or even ask if everything is ok.

    After having this happen to me, if the person doesn't have help, I stop and offer to assist or make a call for them. I was terrified we were all gonna die because I was in a place where the shoulder was very narrow and there was no other place to pull off.

    Oh, and I have to add that people who dump their pets in the countryside so "they can fend for themselves" can all go to h*** right now.

    What annoys me about other people is when people are so consumed with other people rather than owning their own. It doesn't really bother me because seriously, I'm too busy beating myself up over what I've done wrong or could have done better. Haters are haters. Bullies are bullies. Bullying the bully and hating the hater doesn't make any of it right. Tolerance and acceptance that we are all who we were programmed to be really would make the world a better place. I don't see this thread conducive. Be the change you want and accept that not everyone else was built to comply with your guidelines for life. :wink:

    People who take a poo and don't flush until they are done. So anyone who walks in gets a whiff of their horrible stench. Its called a courtesy flush. You are to do it at least once depending on your length of time.. You'd be surprised how many folks don't realize that a courtesy flush will eliminate the stench to a huge degree..

    I'm a huge fan of cruelty to things less helpless than we are. That's why I want to go bear hunting with a spear.

    I don't know if I am capable in restoring your respect for humanity, but I can tell you for sure that everyone in my family would call, and I would definitely get involved. I CAN'T stay out of it when things like that happen. Sad thing is, I'm short and chunky, who is not very strong or fit. I'd probably get my butt whupped if I got involved, and I'd still run straight in and try to break it up. I'm so sorry for what you've gone through...
  • Human haters. Really, they're so hypocritical and narrow minded.
  • Turning your blinker on because you need in the opposite lane, and the *kitten* who is going 10 under the limit next to you decides they want to speed up so you can't get over. C*cksuckers.

    women who think we are the same as men and should be treated as such, no I don't think they should be disrespectful to us but in my home my husband is the leader I love staying at home with my children and taking care of our home, I wouldn't have it any other way there are many things that I wouldn't want to have to do that women try to fight the men for

    The fact that it's so commonplace for people to think of men as "leaders" and women as "followers" (or submissive domestic servants). UGH. Women fighting for total autonomy and political/social rights and responsibilities =/= women wanting to be "the same as men".
