On bearing arms.

Do you think America’s obsession with guns is more of a mental health issue (ie little dick syndrome or some other syndrome you deem fitting), than a question of freedom? Or is it just about the money?
(apologies, but this retarded article - http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,595602,00.html - in the ‘mental health’ section of Fox News, has caused me to want to flee this country...

We posted our 103rd episode, “Pussitivity.” It’s all about hammocks.
Dear 16-year-old me,
Everything your parents have taught you is wrong. Also, there’s no shame in seeing a therapist. Good luck.

I waited just outside the patient’s makeshift hospital room. There was hardly any noise at first, just a low rumbling, like muffled talking. Soon, it was followed by what sounded like a table being tipped over and either fabric ripping, or vomit hitting a concrete floor - I’m not sure which, and what sounded like shouting. Another few...

He smiled a knowing smile, which I knew he did not. “Alright, son, I’ll help you. For science. Just let me finish my breakfast.”
“You already finished it,” I lied.
“Thank god, I’m stuffed. Where’s your car at, young man?”

We spent about 10 minutes of the drive going over the mechanical workings of my car, he explained in...

The patio of the bistro was surrounded by a small, iron fence, and probably had 20 tables. Six of them were on one side, with a walkway separating them from the larger group of tables. It was covered by some sort of trellis with what appeared to be fake ivy wrapped around it. I made my way through the larger group of tables, then...

It was surprisingly difficult to track him down. One thing I learned was that even the most famous of celebrities are hard to get a location on, even in Hollywood. My contact said Tuesday mornings, around nine, were my best shot at finding him. My first attempt ended in a no-show, which I was not surprised by at all,...

So good. My favorite, about Einstein:
When he wasn’t sciencing the shit out of everything, Einstein spent his time postulating his wiener into as many women as possible.

things i discovered about black bloc
inthefade:
Its difficult to even define what the Black Bloc is, let alone to decide what part it could play in the summit protests. It may have started out as a purely anarchist grouping (though one which many anarchists avoid) but it’s not a permanent grouping, it’s just something that comes together at protests. Being in the Black Bloc just means being willing to break the law, destroy...

Thanks to several people who have convinced me the Mexican fans are inhuman and disgusting, I’ve decided to put my Maradona hatred aside and cheer for Argentina.
Besides, it will be fun to have Mr. Hand of God around for a little while longer so I can make fun of him even more!

You stay classy, Mexico.
Having a minor panic attack about turning 23 on...
erinmargrethe:
I’ll be 35 in two months and I can’t wait. If I had to be 23 again I’d shoot myself in the face. (Mostly because now I know all the cheat codes to this body)
Well said.
