Fail Quotes

It's a she, and according to her logic, I should have died several times within the past 24 years of my life.

My grandmother has almost always cut my hair and she was never licensed.

yeah, I didn't pay attention XD

yeah, Mom does it these days: several unlicensed barbers in Kuwait did it--for about 5 dollars in today's money (~1 dinar): heck, the best one was some Bengali or Indian fellow (I forget exactly which): a chic cut in less than 20 minutes, using nothing but scissors and manual razors. And he wasn't AFAIK licensed, or even went to a special school.

EDIT: actually, maybe she'd be horrified to learn that every year, 1-2 million people get/got their hair shorn off by a regiment of unlicensed people for about 1-3 dollars a shave, over a period of a few days, in a barren Hijazi town they call Makkah....(which, in case you (plural) were living under a rock, is where Muslims perform Pilgrimage).

Well there aren't near enough living wage jobs to go around. Looks like the market has failed.

xESOTERIC in the comments of the youtube upload of today's podcast:

I abhor our current govt and military endeavors and agendas, but fully support conscription(conceptually, at any rate).

Be brief. Then you're not establishing the "govt" as a separate entity just an aggregation oriented toward communal agendas. This will have many benefits. Develop individual identity as integral unity of whole, which makes for better societal cooperation than externally established compulsion. Units will impart personal perspectives on whole. Provide structure, orientation, life skills to individuals, etc. Not accepting the bill you outlined specifically, of course. Character limits -.-

Long story short: Many could use the skills, structure and direction, and many others could use the reality check and made aware that those "beneath them" are people as well, many with comparable or superior aptitudes.

Slavery: It builds character.

he's obviously a subscriber to the Jeff Davis theory of society. If the slaves were the youth of the US....

"the draft is a civilizing force to these poor youths who can't think for themselves"

"Lysander Spooner was a socialist."

Hey, moron, being an anarchist does not make you a socialist, The guy wanted to privatize the mail industry.

There are, apparently, a substantial number of deaf people who make such claims.

Their argument is based on the fact that, as a linguistically distinct group, deaf people are a cultural minority and they claim cybernetic replacement of damaged or missing hearing organs to restore or create the ability to hear is an attack on their existence as a cultural group.

Yeah, that was awful. "But you're supposed to move up to 4th grade then!" Talk about missing the point! How can he be so intelligent and yet totally fail to understand the significance of the fact that, by 3rd grade, there is no way to discern academically which students went to Head Start and which ones didn't?

Like you were trying to lighten the skin of black people or something.

I've talked to many people from around the world (one of the perks of being an internet junky. Lots of friends from everywhere) what their thoughts are on the U.S. trying to ban assault rifles. Many of their answers went along the lines of, "Well I wouldn't/don't support a weapons ban here where I live. But if I lived in the U.S. ......yeah, you fuckers are too dumb to carry assault weapons."

Ya, cause we should care what the rest of the world thinks.

When it comes to the point of this conversation, the only people that matter as to how the country is shaped, and therefor what it is, would be the ones who can make a difference, and so far the vast majority of people who make a difference in this country are the dumbass, misguided fuckholes because they're the only ones babyish enough to scream and the top of their lungs and get heard, so when another country calls us a bunch of dumbass, misguided fuckholes, I'm inclined to say that they're point of view is pretty valid. Every 1st world country has dumbass, misguided fuckholes in them, but nowhere do they get the sort of sway that they have here. This country has been defined by childish foot stompers while the smarter adults sit back and politely say, "Um, excuse me, my point of view is that....hm? Oh sure, I can wait."

This kind of reasoning really pisses me off. Just comes off incredibly mean and spiteful.

Friend of mine has been playing some MMORPG and apparently the guild leader has to approve all trades so that they're "fair." This is what the guild leader said after he started saying why a free market approach would be better
