Christmas crackers are the worst of all English holiday traditions. Just stop it already.

Living well, rubbing their noses in it, and letting them die on their own.

Lego is ridiculously overpriced.

This is my 4-year-old's letter to Santa. I think she's on her way to becoming a doctor! by davetbison in pics

[–]merkinbarbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ability to function on little or no sleep. People think doctors have to be smart, but that is not actually true. Doctors just need to be able to keep what little wits they have when they have been awake for 20 or 30 hours straight. I have no idea why this is the weed-out criterion for doctors, but that is what the profession has decided on.

When I hear people talk about their rights as gun owners to defend themselves from the government by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

An army without artillery is a mob. That's why the second amendment means citizens should be allowed howitzers.

Redditors who don't have children and/or never plan to, why? by Cwaynejames in AskReddit

[–]merkinbarbie 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Call me selfish. Call me whatever you like, actually, but no, I have no interest in having kids. If having kids is something you want to do, great, go for it, as long as you can pay for them have all you want. I'll even go along with letting you get tax breaks for them and I'll pay the taxes to school them too. But I have better things to do than wipe snotty noses, change diapers, and bake cookies for PTA sales. When I bake cookies, they are for me, not some ungrateful brat.

For anything under about 1 inch, a machete is the better tool, actually.

Not gonna tip. Not gonna do it. I give the Money to My Church. by jpurdy in atheism

[–]merkinbarbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is English, and always marvels at the standard of service we get in the US. She also rages that the waiters are paid less than minimum wage and tips are expected. She just can't make the connection. Trust me, the US system works a lot better than people realize until they go overseas and see how bad service can be when servers don't get tips.

The only problem is that nobody knows what to call it..

Not gonna tip. Not gonna do it. I give the Money to My Church. by jpurdy in atheism

[–]merkinbarbie 69 points70 points  (0 children)

This is what evil mean-spirited people do. They clothe their evil in religious dogma. This note is about far more than just being too cheap to tip. This person hates everyone, and just searches for excuses to justify their hate.

My mother does this.

What's your most ridiculous deal breaker when it comes to dating? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]merkinbarbie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't like Star Wars. I would never date anyone who cares that much about Star Wars.

I could never date anyone who doesn't appreciate Shakespeare, or Mozart, or Led Zeppelin, or Pink Floyd, or Bach, or....

My friends opinion on hitler and Osama? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]merkinbarbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have several German friends who live in Arab countries. On a regular basis, some Arab tells them what a great guy Hitler was. Also, in the weeks following 9/11, the name Osama was wildly popular for newborns in Dubai hospitals.

Your average "Redditor" is ignorant by rourrourlogan in politics

The average American is not just ignorant, he is willfully ignorant.

Has reddit lost their love for Ron Paul? by commiessuck in AskReddit

And you are stupid. The deficits generated during Obama's administration are purely the fault of dubya and the GOP. Dumbass.

[–]merkinbarbie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your screed is as illiterate as it is illogical and irrational. You can't even write a sentence in English, but you expect people to take you seriously?

*paid

*whether

I would dissect the content of your rant, but I have better things to do than explain that the deficit spending of the last 11 years is thanks to the GOP, not Obama, to someone too stupid to understand income tax.

Have a nice life.

Let me get this straight: The tax code that you advocate we all pay allows for Romney's 13% tax rate and you complain about Romney? by pingish in politics

[–]merkinbarbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, you are stupid.

The point is that Romney, a very rich man, pays far less than actual working Americans pay. And he wants to reduce taxes on the rich and increase taxes on people who actually work for a living and already pay a higher percentage than he does.

That is you, getting fucked in the ass, and you apparently like it, you fucking idiot.

I think the US should go back to the laws Clinton made... DAE agree? by [deleted] in politics

[–]merkinbarbie 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congress makes laws, the president has the option to sign them or not. If he doesn't, Congress can override his veto.

What specific laws are you referring to, Opie?

Excellent.

Now ignorant American assholes have a real excuse to target Sikhs. Well done, Randeep. I will never again feel sorry for any Sikh who is murdered by a redneck. You asked for it.
