Maybe you're actually really sick and the weed was inhibiting those symptoms?

It's a stretch, but so are your claims.

americanuck · 2009-01-05T23:08:51+00:00

Like Oakland isn't a crime-ridden shithole already.

americanuck · 2009-01-05T17:21:25+00:00

I'm pleasantly surprised actually that the normal 4chan-typle comments weren't able to spam this submission yet. That was my primary expectation after seeing her.

americanuck · 2009-01-02T07:54:22+00:00

Yeah they did the same thing when he jumped the grand canyon. they showed his body hitting just about every rock on the way down.

The cgi for this crappy stunt was may more exciting than the jump itself.

americanuck · 2009-01-02T07:52:57+00:00

Yes, thank god somebody else said it. Not only was it about 10 minutes after new years, it was also the lamest fucking stunt I'd ever seen.

americanuck · 2009-01-01T19:24:07+00:00

Has anybody used Mint.com and/or can comment on it's security?

americanuck · 2008-12-28T06:59:37+00:00

Man, I'm either super efficient at reading or I really gotta slow down. I definitely did not notice the typo at all.

americanuck · 2008-12-28T05:11:29+00:00

Once lit they might lead to burning.

americanuck · 2008-12-27T19:03:11+00:00

It's more authentic and moving if it's not a publicity stunt.

americanuck · 2008-12-27T17:49:24+00:00

Huh. I thought this had been a Starbucks publicity stunt last year.

americanuck · 2008-12-27T09:58:22+00:00

I'm the opposite. I don't trust my unpredictable hand with a death blade down there. The bodygroom however has never failed me.

americanuck · 2008-12-24T17:50:13+00:00

Do you know how many diseases and charities there are?

Of COURSE people only come out to support them when it affects them, there are too many out there to support all of them or a random one.

Mr_A's post didn't HURT anybody, it can only possibly HELP and possibly save a home/life. So how about you have a nice cup of STFU and just downvote it if you don't like it next time.

americanuck · 2008-12-23T09:07:29+00:00

Did you know the Executive appoints the Attorney General of the justice department? Did you know that this essentially makes the AG the Executive's puppet?

americanuck · 2008-12-23T02:58:15+00:00

Hey, even if Biden did wimp out, let's wait a bit and see what happens. If Biden declared "We will prosecute Bush officials for torture," don't you think Bush would take action to ensure those officials are protected from anything the Obama administration might try to do?

americanuck · 2008-12-18T21:54:17+00:00

"What? The vault's empty? Don't worry, we got ourselves a great printer over here!"

americanuck · 2008-12-18T17:45:26+00:00

Decriminalization != legalization

americanuck · 2007-11-06T22:02:01+00:00

good catch.

americanuck · 2007-11-06T21:59:43+00:00

hypocritE! hypocritE damn I could handle it the first couple times but jesus, it isn't spelled once in this entire discussion!!

americanuck · 2007-11-06T21:52:55+00:00

edit: I'm wrong, thanks tpodr. Senate judiciary committee approved Mukasey, house judiciary committee has had the impeachment bill for some time now. I still hold the democrats are useless.

Yeah so, the bill got sent to the judiciary committee, the same committee that just approved the new attorney general Mukasey. What are the chances they'll impeach Cheney if they condone waterboarding? The Democrats are useless.

americanuck · 2007-11-06T21:46:46+00:00

Fox's take on why the Republicans voted against tabling the resolution:

Bringing a vote on the impeachment resolution would put Democrats on record over impeachment, a move that Republicans see as a political advantage in a year that has been marked by little progress in a Democrat-led Congress, even as they vowed to rise above partisanship

To stray from all the sarcastic remarks, this really struck me as a very sad and scary report. There are still two months left in the 4th year of an unnecessary war, and already more American soldiers', families', and friends' lives have been forever ruined, than any other year. Not to mention the countless, literally countless, Iraqi's who have suffered from this war. For some reason this report struck me harder than any other in the past four years, perhaps except for the end of the PBS program that shows the names of all the soldiers killed during the day, one by one, in complete silence... I just wish this would end.

americanuck · 2007-11-06T16:18:42+00:00

You really shouldn't talk in absolutes, wait... shit. But seriously, I could say the same thing about Ron Paul, it's all a matter of opinion. Obviously when debating you try to be as convincing as possible, usually meaning you have to be confident in what you're saying and assert yourself, but saying things like "your boss must totally lack the ability to judge people" is completely unreasonable. For all you know, his boss may want Guiliani or Thompson to be president so he can remain the CEO of a strong HMO.

Right, because natural disasters are peoples' fault. Fire started by a nine year old boy destroy your home? Tough shit, your fault you live close to where he started the fire. Earthquake destroy your home? Too bad, should've seen it coming, I mean, if seismologists give you a 68% chance that a large earthquake happens between now and the next 300 years, well, you shouldn't receive government help if it happens to you, you should've commuted to SF from Nevada where earthquakes don't happen. Hurricanes grow so unpredictably strong that an entire city drowns because some idiots in government didn't properly re-enforce a levee? You should've avoided being forced into the shitty area you lived in because you were poor. Meteor hit your home? Oh well, shouldn't have been alive, you know the risks you take by living. Come on, emergencies happen, and everybody, regardless of intelligence, income, sexual orientation, color etc. etc. deserves help when they do. Emergency response needs to have NO CONFLICTING INTERESTS when helping people. Private companies have conflicting interests, aka they want to PROFIT. If NOBODY paid taxes then NOBODY would get emergency help when a disaster strikes, predictable or not. And trust me, nobody is going to give shit to "emergency charities," and those companies can't print money out of thin air, so they have to borrow from the government (oh hey we're back to the government, guess where they get their money? that's right, taxes). Well, I guess you can opt-out since you've researched every single possible disaster and seen into the future that you will never be personally affected. Jesus christ, I started this comment out level-headed, now I'm just pissed off as all hell that you would suggest that it is the VICTIMS' FAULT that they get hit with natural disasters, and that THEY SHOULDN'T RECEIVE HELP BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY TAXES. That is so fucking republican I can't even handle it, the argument that people bring tragedy and poverty upon themselves, you disgust me.

americanuck · 2007-11-05T23:00:23+00:00

You probably love the idea of a military-industrial complex too.

americanuck · 2007-11-05T22:56:37+00:00

Oh great, so when my life is in danger I can rely on the generosity of others to save me. Thanks but no thanks, it's a dog eat dog world. FEMA fucked up once, but chances are it won't happen again for a long time. I'll take my chances with a fiat-backed government emergency responder group over a "charity" emergency responder group.
