I always liked "White Riot" by The Clash, but somehow, I think it was a bad idea. After seeing all of the riotous townhall meetings, I have seen what a white riot looks like, and I just want to smack all of them in the face.

| These might be the dumbest signs ever... |

Besides the obvious "LOL - YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT SOCIALISM IS", (which isn't even in this picture, but in another one-off picture from the article this came from) the signs in this picture are all a degree of "WTF?"
"Trade freedom for security..... You will have neither." I think that's something the left's been using since about eight years ago. Actually, pretty-much exactly eight years-ago... As soon as 9/11 was over. Now the right is apparently using it... And I fail to see any relevance at all to the healthcare debate (which is what this protest is about, apparently).
"Just say no to Chicago-style politics." Sure, an easy-enough idea, but again, I'm failing to see the relevance - other than "OMG OBAMA WAS BORN IN CHICAGO, THAT MEANS HE IS LIKE OTHER POLITICIANS FROM CHICAGO" - which isn't relevance at all other than gross generalization.
"Jesus is the Messiah not Obama." Well, personally, I think he could be the Messiah. It's up to people to choose who they want as their savior, and if somebody chooses Obama, then that makes him the Messiah, too. It's just a meaningful as people choosing Jesus as their Messiah, anyway.
I'm not really getting the "NAZIS/ASTROTURF!" thing, but that might be because I am simply ignorant of something (might be the first time I admitted to being ignorant - though, I imagine, based on the sign, whatever it is, I'm better off not knowing about).
Also, from the article:
Others are waving U.S. flags and holding signs reading "Go Green Recycle Congress" and "I'm Not Your ATM."
I'm pretty sure we recycle congress constantly, as the same people often get elected and re-elected for 20 year periods...

| Boy am I glad for voicemail! |

If it weren't for voicemail, I would've missed the important call earlier, informing me that my tux for my wedding was ready at the Mens Wearhouse in Freehold, NJ! I also would've missed another message from the same people a few weeks ago, letting me know that my entire groom's party had yet to get fitted for their tuxedos!

| FINISH HIM! |
[18 Jul 2009|12:00pm] |
I just saw the most ridiculous car ever.
It was a white Cadillac somethingorother. It was trimmed in a bright, icy blue (a little duller than Empyrean country-color blue).
I took it to be a cab at first... Then I read the front bumper. On the left (my left) it said "Finish him!" and on the right "Sub-Zero".
Yes, folks, I saw a car used to advertise its owners favorite Mortal Kombat character. And if you think the silliness ends there...
I wanted to get a closer look, and I really wish I hadn't. On the hood was more icy-blue stuff: An icy blue Mortal Kombat logo... And words on the top and bottom of it. The words in question? "Sub-Zero" and "wins!"
I wish the guy wasn't standing there waxing it at the time, or I would've taken a fuckload of pics of it to amuse the world with.

I know I said I'd only post here once a day, but the article which I just finished reading, I cannot resist posting here a second time today. It'll probably more-than-make-up for the fact that I will likely not post sometime this weekend, as I will be quite busy.
And now, without further ado, on to the bitch-fest...
Joshua Fry, a 20 year-old Marine, is, right now, in a military lock-up facility. He, at current time, faces charges for "possessing child pornography" and having "unexplained absences".
Joshua Fry, it would seem, at first glance, is a criminal. However, don't get too riled up just yet over this, as all of the facts are not in. Joshua Fry is, as it turns out, a young man with a history of being abuse and neglect. Oh, and did I mention that he's autistic?
Yes, folks, the military has not only recruited, but sent to boot camp - AND ALLOWED TO BE ON ACTIVE DUTY - an autistic person.
Oh, and before we go any further with this, let me add this little tidbit: THEY RECRUITED HIM FROM A GROUP HOME FOR DEVELOPMENTALLY DISABLED PEOPLE!
Fry's backstory (from an abc.com article):[1]
Fry was born in 1988 to a crack addicted father and a mother on heroin according to his lawyer's 35-page court motion to dismiss the charges, which was later rejected. The document details a downtrodden life that included physical and possible sexual abuse all while Fry slipped further behind in his developmental progress.
By the age of 3, according to the motion, he tested as having an IQ of 70 and was found to be anti-social and self-abusive. He was diagnosed with autism when he was 3 and then again as a teenager.
While in high school Fry was arrested for suspected larceny of iPods and found to have a knife. The charges were eventually dismissed and Fry was sent to what the motion describes as a "lockdown facility for youths" in Colorado to finish high school and receive treatment and counseling.
It was during this time that his legal guardian, grandmother Mary Beth Fry applied for and was granted temporary conservatorship over her grandson, the court noting that Fry, then 18, lacked the capacity to fully care for himself or enter into contracts on his own behalf.
After leaving the Colorado facility, Fry took up residence at a group home in Irvine, Calif., where he was living until his enlistment.
An assessment in 2006 by a licensed psychiatrist who treated Fry for two years noted that while the young man was high-functioning for a person with autism "he appears quite limited in his ability to think ahead of possible consequences."
That foreshadowing seemed to come true once Fry got to boot camp on Jan. 14, 2008.
"Immediately it was clear to Fry that he could not keep up with the day-to-day pace of boot camp," the motion argued. "Several times Fry informed his staff that he did not want to be a Marine. Each time he was told that was not an option."
First off, WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE? How many people had to FUCK UP to miss this? Secondly, how can they reject his lawyers motion to dismiss charges? This guy is clearly disabled and should be supervised, as he cannot function as a normal part of society on his own. So, to recap: The United States Marines recruited someone who should most definitely not be trusted with a weapon of any sort. They then ignored his pleas to leave boot camp. Finally, they neglected to give him the extra supervision someone like him needed, and now, to top it all off, they're charging him with crimes. Here's what I think: If a recruiter hadn't taken him from the group home... If the folks at boot camp would've listened to him... If ANYBODY WITH AN IQ HIGHER THAN HIS WOULD'VE NOTICED THAT HE DIDN'T BELONG IN THE MARINES AND, IN FACT, NEEDED TO BE SUPERVISED, he wouldn't've likely been in possession of child pornography to begin with. The Marines: Failing hard at recruiting... Both in numbers and quality.

People that say "Han shot first".
Han didn't shoot first.
Han is the only mother fucker that shot. He shot Greedo fucking dead-to-rights, and that green bastard didn't even see it coming. He had no chance to shoot at all.

Just now, a 16 year-old kid visited a website I sometimes go to when I'm bored, and he didn't know what the phrase "homicidal tendancies" meant. He didn't lack an understanding of it because the phrase was confusing, though. His complete lack of understanding it was due to the fact that he thought both words were "big words", and he didn't know what they meant.
When prompted about it, he said "I'm only 16, it's not like I've been to college or anything yet. Give me a break."

But I was bored just now, so you get one.
However, it's not very interesting.
Firstly, I would like to apologize to anybody that posted in the scavenger hunt thing, because I kind-of forgot about it completely and never participated in the one on DA at all. But I'm now slowly catching up with the requests.
Secondly, I would like to say that if you get enough mosquito bites and some of them bruise, you could end up looking like a heroin addict.

On this group I'm part of on DeviantArt, they're having a scavenger hunt for photography. It's pretty lame, if only because the categories are vague and what-have-you.
You fine people: It is up to you to provide me with something more interesting. Be specific, but not absurd (don't name something that is nearly impossible).
Examples of something absurd, but possible: Something with the number 17 on it.
Examples of something absurd, but not possible: A monkey riding a zebra.
Now, name some shit people... Because I'm going to make a better photo scavenger hunt than those fuckers did.

Anyone else tired of swine flu? I certainly am.
Let's talk about something more important and deadly: Seasonal flu.
Now THAT's a pandemic.

Have you ever had one of those days or weeks or months where everything just "makes sense"?
Because the last two days have been that for me. Maybe even the last month... I've felt sick some of the time (stupid weather keeps messing with my sinuses), but when I'm not feeling sick, I'm feeling like a million dollars AIG's bailout money.
And the last two days, everything has just made sense in my life.

I think I'm gonna get a mail-order bride.
Yeah, yeah, that's a crazy idea. But... Think about it. I get money, a house slave, and sex!
And, I can cheat on her because she can't divorce me until she's a citizen!
It's pretty brilliant. I'm also pretty serious about this. I'm looking into the details right now. Probably the strangest idea I've ever had, but one of the most profitable!

Because they're out there, and they pose a danger to your health:
The 20 MOST Ridiculous Complaints Made by Holidaymakers
One complains that there are fish in the sea and nobody told them. Those stupid fish scared the children.
Another complains that, on their trip to India, they had a hard time finding a restaurant that didn't serve curry. They fucking hate curry!
One person complained that everybody spoke Spanish and that there were too many foreigners. One can only assume they went to Spain or some other Spanish-speaking country.
To one person, the beach was too sandy.
And yet another felt inadequate on his honeymoon once he saw an Elephant's erect penis.
Read the rest... They're all gems in their own little way.
But, if you know any of these people... STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM THEM.

I was reading some statistics on religion and the make-up of many religions.
Why is it that 65% of Wiccans have bachelors degrees, and 25% have masters degrees? These numbers are ridiculously higher than any other religion in the world. If they are so fucking educated, shouldn't they know that wicca is a fucking modern bullshit joke of a religion and not some ancient religion?
This is like like if 100% of scientologists were to have doctorates!
