— Are you serious Arizona? Who are the people supporting the bill that allows police officers to question people simply because they suspect they might be illegal aliens? Oh I know, the same people who ALSO say we need to keep the government small and that the government is taking over everything. Apparently they don’t mind if the government steps in and gets between you and your life as long as it isn’t affecting them!
— I’ve heard a lot of older people say that they wish things would “go back to the way they used to be” in the USA. The people saying this are inevitably white and they act as if this country was so great back in the 40s and 50s and today it is some kind of heathenistic pile of crap. Ask gay people if they want to go back to the “way things used to be.” How about black people? Asians? Women? Mexicans? In fact I will stop right there. Is there a non white human being who wants things to go back to the way they used to be here in the USA? Back 50 – 60 years ago here in the USA, I have no doubt it was a great place to be if you were white and didn’t give a shit about anyone, but you can’t tell me it used to be a batter place if you are anyone else.
— How can it be lost in this entire health care debate/poo fling that our food supply is one of the main things killing people every day? Our government has allowed a small number of companies to completely take over the food supply, and these companies will do everything in their power to make more and more money. So that means things like genetically modified foods, steroids and a whole host of other dangerous things human beings were never intended to consume. I believe this will some day be officially linked to the proliferation of cancer upon our society that is taking way too many people’s lives way too soon.
— Speaking of which, how are these companies even allowed to label 90% of the shit they sell “food“? Just because it is barely edible in small quantities, DOES NOT mean it is “food.” I’m sorry, a triple cheese, bacon, jumbo fried chili dog is not food. Think I am wrong? Try eating one every meal for the next 6 months and I bet you aren’t alive to tell me about it. These items are not food. In order to be labeled a food product it should have to be something that can sustain life.
— Why do we spend so much money enforcing drunk driving when it can be virtually eliminated for about as much money as it costs to enforce it?. It is a very simple problem to solve. All the government has to do is pay for cabs/drivers to give you rides when you are drunk. The cost of enforcing drunk driving is massive and not having to enforce it as heavily would be a huge savings when you consider the cost of police, jails, courts and loss of economic productivity from those who lose their licensees. If I am wrong and not having to enforce it as strictly won’t save enough to pay for the taxis, then impose a 25 cent a bottle tax on every beer purchase. Imagine what the roads would look like if everyone could call a cab/driver going to and from a bar for free?
— That reminds me, why are crimes that have equal or greater harm punished much less severely simply because one is much less taboo in people’s minds? I will prop bet anyone on earth that I can drive much better on a .10 blood alcohol level than they can drive constantly texting on a traditional cell phone. Yet if I get pulled over I will get thrown in jail and lose my license and the texter will get a slap on the wrist at most. What sense does this make? Can someone please explain this? I know it is much easier to pick on the drunk guy, but why should that affect the severity of the punishment? The goal is to keep the road safe. Period. Enforce laws in a way that makes sense kthanx.
— Is there a worse way on earth to spend money than flying first class on an international flight? I looked into upgrading at the last minute because I was so dead tired and was told that my first class upgrade would cost $6,000! I did not mistype. That is SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS. First class offers a slightly higher grade of dog food, a slightly bigger version of their pile of shit seats and more frequent visits from flight attendants to get you liquored up so hopefully you forget that you spent $6,000 the worst way possible. For $6,000 you can get health insurance for a year to hopefully keep you from dying from the poison you eat all day. Seriously people, what are you thinking?
— As I’m typing this in the airport waiting for my connecting flight, a pigeon just walked right on by me wtf?
— I am sitting across from the food court in the airport here. The choices are Mcdonalds, Ben and Jerry’s, Dunkin Donuts and a place where you can get reasonably healthy smoothies and sandwiches. Anyone care to take a guess on which store has no line?
— How on earth is pot not legal? If alcohol is legal, is it even possible a coherent argument can be made that pot should be illegal? I mean, if you want to outlaw it all, I think that is stupid, but I can at least see where people are coming from. But how on earth does someone decide that legalizing alcohol is a good idea, but legalizing pot is not? Especially since you can vaporize pot now. It is not even a question that pot is much safer than alcohol given it can now be vaporized. I saw a study that showed that young people overwhelmingly support legalizing pot while old people overwhelmingly supported criminalizing pot. I’m sure the old people will like to point to how we are just a bunch of crazy kids who have no morals when in fact we just know how to use a search button on the computer and as a result are actually educated on the issue. This is something the older generation can not say when it comes to this issue. They have no coherent arguments for their beliefs and I think it sucks that intelligent people have to pay the price for their stupidity with respect to this particular issue.
— All right, I feel much better now
