That's just because you never got a blow job in a cheap motel.

Story creeps my ass out.

So let me get this right. People cutting other peoples heads off is so boring to you you get actively pissed at Amy for mentioning it

But you are perturbed by the fact this guy wrote a book?

The poster, on Tamworth Road, in Sawley, Derbyshire, shows aliens beaming up a person into their spaceship with the text, "they'll take the fat ones first".

Could they/Would they also host a "What Does Whiteness Mean?" event?

Best not to assume!

Sixclaws, perfect example of using outrage to generate media attention for that gym.

African American gentleman delivers a much-needed smackdown to the cultural appropriation fascists in an intelligent, concise and articulate manner.

ObamaCare: is there nothing it can't do?

An alarming report from the Association of Medical Colleges says America will be short a million doctors by 2025 and that the shortage of primary care physicians makes up a third of that number.

This won't end well.

Patrick, the CAF (cultural appropriation fascists) are too busy sucking the cock of oppression to care.

In case you think Bernie Sanders is a lovey person:

For the kickoff of the 40th annual Chittenden County United Way fund-raising drive in Burlington, Vt., the sponsors considered themselves fortunate to have as guests Mayor Bernard Sanders of Burlington and Gov. Richard Snelling of Vermont.

...

''I don't believe in charities,'' said Mayor Sanders, bringing a shocked silence to a packed hotel banquet room. The Mayor, who is a Socialist, went on to question the ''fundamental concepts on which charities are based'' and contended that government, rather than charity organizations, should take over responsibility for social programs.

Hmmm...

A mob of SJWs, spearheaded by a no-shit self-described Communist named Jon Sterling, descended on LambdaConf demanding that they cancel Yarvin’s talk, pretending that he (rather than, say, the Communist) posed a safety threat to other conference-goers. The conference’s principal organizers, headed up one John de Goes, quite properly refused to cancel the talk, observing that Yarvin was there to talk about his code and not his politics.

I think they conceded to much to the SJWs, actually, by asking Yarvin to issue a statement about his views on violence. Nobody asked Jon Sterling whether he was down with that whole liquidation of the kulaks thing, after all, and if a Communist who likes to tweet about sending capitalists to “hard labor in the North” gets a pass it is not easy to see why any apologia was required from a man with no history of advocating violence at all.

One of my more entertaining pastimes on Twitter is to follow the Darwin Awards. Normally, it's good for a few laughs, but this one offends me.

You see, usually when I look at these things, I can see what the person was intending, and how, in his stupidity, it went wrong.

But I watch this, and I find myself wondering, "What the hell were you trying to do? What was the expected outcome? How dare you think this end any other way than the way it did?"

(Sorry, forgot to use the quotation marks)

What the hell were you trying to do? What was the expected outcome? How dare you think this end any other way than the way it did?"

The expected outcome was to have a cool special effect that doesn't actually cause any real damage.

The problem is that one should leave such FX to actual FX professionals or to try them out on dressing dummies...outside and with a fire extinguisher handy.

Also: stop, drop and roll. Don't they teach that to kids any more?

Remember, government is what we inflict on people we don't like:

IRA, I'm surprised that Indiegogo allowed that funding, considering that a similar venue like GoFundMe bans Cops, and Christians from it.

White Liberal Protester to Black Cop: You Don’t Understand Racism

Liberal UCLA Student: “I’m talking about your race, the color of your skin…” the student said. “You’re a black man! You will never reach the same pinnacle as a white man in this system because you are black!”

Officer who grew up under segregation pestered by female student - A black police officer was confronted by a white UCLA student during a Ferguson-inspired protest last week and lectured on racism. The officer, who grew up in the South during segregation, was repeatedly told that he did not understand the complexities of racism by an irate female protester. “I grew up in Jackson, Mississippi, OK? Where the restrooms had ‘colored only’ and ‘whites only,’” the officer explained. “I couldn’t ride in the front of the bus. My mom had to sit in the back with all of us. So, I grew up in the Deep South when I was 16-years-old, so I know racism, OK? I can spot it.”

Despite the officer’s personal and historical experience with real hatred, the female protester continued to refute his understanding, arguing that the officer was wrong for claiming that all races could be racist.

No, that would be victim blaming, suggesting they could steps to mitigate the damage

The Atheist Pig finally draws a cartoon about Islam. Check the lack of self awareness from the commenters.

“Long term vegetarian diet changes human DNA raising risk of cancer and heart disease,” the Telegram warned. “Being a long term vegetarian changes your DNA and increases your risk of cancer” according to Cosmo UK. “Being a vegetarian could kill you, science warns,” the New York Post proclaimed.

Except here’s the problem: that’s not what the actual study said. At all.

This is less a problem with science (tho I'm sure there are issues there as well - can you reproduce your results with another study?) and more with the media being under educated and having too much pride in their education to not know what they don't know.

Surprised he signed this:

Some great news in asset forfeiture reform is coming out of Florida. S.B. 1044, approved by the legislature earlier in the month, was signed into law today by Gov. Rick Scott.

The big deal with this particular reform is that, in most cases, Florida police will actually have to arrest and charge a person with a crime before attempting to seize and keep their money and property under the state's asset forfeiture laws. One of the major ways asset forfeiture gets abused is that it is frequently a "civil", not criminal, process where police and prosecutors are able to take property without even charging somebody with a crime, let alone convicting them. This is how police are, for example, able to snatch cash from cars they've pulled over and claim they suspect the money was going to be used for drug trafficking without actually finding any drugs.

As a civil procedure could not a private citizen bring such an action?

IRA,

A few years back my father read about some truly advanced research in his company reported by the Wall Street Journal. He was amazed at what those guys had figured out. They were doing things he couldn't dream about accomplishing. So when he got into work he asked his boss who these amazing researchers were. And his boss looked him in the eye and said "You are John. You are."

The reporting was so poor he couldn't even recognize his own work.
