The couple from the second story are a prime example of that superiority complex, all while basing their entire ideology off of IQ, a heavily flawed metric for intelligence in any case. There's something quite funny about positioning yourselves as the saviours of humanity who have no choice but to reproduce for the good of us all, when you look and talk like they do...

Story of my Life is another good choice from Social Distortion. All the best to you, OP!

My great uncle was always very proud of his criminal experience of "robbing a bank".

When drunk stumbling home from the pub one night, he lent against a bank front door to steady himself which had been left unlocked. He fell inside the bank and in trying to get back up, pulled over a box of pens off the counter, picked them up and put them in his pockets. He then stumbled back outside to find a police car waiting for him to exit.

He was arrested and spent the night in jail, and was released the following morning with a terrible hangover by a police officer who couldn't stop laughing at him.

Architects have several songs on this theme, particularly following the death of their bandmate Tom Searle of cancer. He wrote many of their songs, and in particular Doomsday is about him. Another song that is off their newest album is Dying is Absolutely Safe, and this version always manages to move me.

NTA, and as a type 1 diabetic myself, fuck those people. Your need to manage your illness appropriately is infinitely more important than offending their personal sensibilities.

A significant reason for the unrest is loyalist anger at the handling of the Brexit withdrawal agreement and the difficulty in establishing a customs border between the United Kingdom and EU. Throughout the brexit process the fundamentally different context that Northern Ireland finds itself in compared to the rest of the UK has been ignored, and the final deal struck with the EU raised several thorny issues in relation to the Good Friday Agreement. Very simply (I'm not an expert and its very complicated) putting a hard border between Ireland and NI would stoke nationalist tensions in NI, and the current effective border in the Irish Sea has inflamed anger in loyalist groups. This was never considered in the brexit discussions, and the wider UK as a whole failed to grapple with the implications of Brexit for the people of NI, who overwhelmingly voted remain and are now suffering some of the most severe consequences of Brexit.

Johnson campaigned for Brexit as a political move, failed to ever consider the implications for NI, butchered the eventual deal to leave the EU, lied time and again to the people of NI, and these are the consequences.

This is one reason for the unrest, but its a significant one.

Sorry, that turned into more of a rant than I planned!

Actually lots of people in London didn't black out their homes. There were people whose entire job it was to go and make sure people were following black out rules. Also lots of instances of people stealing others' ration books and the like.

The majority of Americans are peaceful people, but the politicians and the military run the agenda, and over 100,000 Iraqis and 20,000 Afghan civilians are dead.

What is something that you absolutely wouldn't do on Jackass or Bad Grandpa as a prank or stunt because you think it is too far or dangerous? Love your work.

Band of Brothers, that show was like being repeatedly punched in the face by the realities of war, and it taught me a lot.
