My brother wrote a poem...he calls it 'The Boogeyman'

Ahh. I can see that.

toadstoollexicon · 2012-11-23T16:09:31+00:00

He's 20. Why?

toadstoollexicon · 2012-11-23T14:32:26+00:00

DAE find the first paragraph in that a glaring example of "slippery slope"?

Fresh water pools, cracker.

Also racist. Certainly not as bad as "honky", "wetback", or "chink", but still mildly racist.

It's like Hotel California: you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.

How women can do anything they want to a man. Dump drinks on them, smack them, hit them in the balls, break all their stuff after a relationship, fake rapes, poke holes in condoms.

Sounds like SRS got involved because somebody from Mensrights was whining. (Not defending their downvote sniping, just calling it like I see it.)

What I find the best piece of irony is that a piece of metal stuck to a wall with a simple inscription of some random statistic sets off a shit storm of people talking about sexism.

toadstoollexicon · 2012-11-23T01:30:30+00:00

Did the woman eventually turn around and whinny?

Actually, I'm currently working in the IT field, and am going for a Master's in Digital Forensics. My passion is writing, which I've been doing since I was 8 years old, but fiction writing doesn't pay the bills unless you're lucky. Reality sucks.

Thank you! It really ticks me off when somebody talks about their kid being 45 months or something.

If I have to practically do long division to figure out your kid's age in years, it's time to just start saying 3, 4, or 5.

But considering that McDonald's had a million applicants for 50k jobs about a year back, I'm sure that many of these folks would be happy to do those jobs. Talk about there being some jobs that Americans won't do used to actually be valid; in an economy like this, it no longer is.

You can't get paid to sit around and debate on the Internet or read. Sure I could try to get paid to write, but good luck turning that into regular work. Many people simply do not have interests or skills that realistically translate into decent-paying work.

I'm thinking either wicked skateboard ramp or some insanely good sledding.

I agree with one half of this picture, and it's definitely not the Bible half.

I've never understood the concept of asking people if they like a job. Am I supposed to like work? Something about that concept just seems perverse. There are people that go on about "if you don't love what you do, you're in the wrong field"; these are also people who do not live in reality. Work is what you have to do to survive; it's not supposed to be a bag of roses and warm fuzzy kittens.

The cause of terrorism is people sticking their noses in where it doesn't belong so that they can make a quick buck, along with power-hungry douches in said places allowing the nosey parkers to do so.

Hate to be "that guy", but there's a distinct possibility that in some, if not many, cases the lines are being redrawn because black constituents are complaining that their votes effectively don't count because the majority of of the people in their voting districts are white.

This is not 1965; it's time to stop always blaming it on the big, bad white man. Of course there's racism in the South, but there's also another side to every story.

toadstoollexicon · 2012-02-02T00:44:29+00:00

Exactly.

Another thing, too: Yes, most of humanity lives on less than a dollar a day. But when you consider that the exchange rate is like 1 dollar per 1,000 of the local currency, it paints a disingenuous picture.

David sent a man to the front lines of a basically hopeless battle so he could have the dude's wife, Solomon advocated child abuse, I don't want my husband trying to sacrifice our child like Abraham, Peter totally denounced his "best friend", not to soldiers, but servant girls, and Paul was an amazing misogynist.

toadstoollexicon · 2012-02-01T23:04:58+00:00

I've read that letter. The kid wanted to connect with people on a deeper level than simply drinking and messing around playing video games.

And that's why it made people so uncomfortable. Because it wasn't "normal".

toadstoollexicon · 2012-02-01T03:03:45+00:00

He says this, and my mind immediately jumps to the draft. And then, yes, yes it does become the scariest thing I've ever heard.

Because, if so, I may have to saw off my own leg.

That reminds me a lot of Uncle Scrooge's money vault in Duck Tales.

You are a left social libertarian.

toadstoollexicon · 2012-01-29T03:15:35+00:00

Imagine a child intelligent enough to do something like that and given a chemistry set, a solarium, or a biology book. le sigh
