America, Who Will Survive In America?

Eat it You Nasty Pig.

Also, the market's going to "come back," but there's no guarantee that it'll reach the growth it did in the last 20 or so years (especially since a lot of that "growth" apparently was built on a lot of fairly dubious credit.)

liberalism/progressivism finds faults with capitalism like the left does, but they believe capitalism can be reformed & made nicer/more fair, given a 'human face' if you will (this is especially silly, trying to cure the sickness private property causes w/ private property)

the left finds it a rotten system from the core given its inherent contradictions & advocates its abolition

not too hard to delineate here.

I mean, kanye cut the best part of the sample, which is too bad because it kills pretty much precisely his audience

Young, very young, teeny bopping revolt on weekend young, dig by proxy what a mental ass kicking they receive through institutionalized everything, and vomit up slogans to stay out of Vietnam. They seek to hide their relationship with the world's prostitute alienating themselves from everything except dirt and money with long hair, grime, and dope to camo-hide the things that cannot be hidden. They become runaway children to walk the streets downtown with everyday Black people sitting on the curb crying, because we know that they will go back home with a clear conscience and a college degree.

The irony of it all, of course, is when a pale-faced SDS motherfucker dares look hurt when I tell him to go find his own revolution. He wonders why I tell him that America's revolution will not be the melting pot. but the toilet bowl. He is fighting for legalized smoke, or lower voting age, less lip from his generation gap and fucking in the street. Where is my parallel to that? All I want is a good home and a wife and a children and some food to feed them every night. Back goes pale face to basics. Does Little Orphan Annie have a natural? Do Sluggos kings make him a refugee from Mandingo? What does Webster say about soul? I say you silly chipe motherfucker, your great grandfather tied a ball and chain to my balls, and bounced me through a cotton field while I lived in an unflushable toilet bowl and now you want me to help you overthrow what?

The only Truth that can be delivered to a four year revolutionary with a hole card, i.e. skin is this: fuck up what you can in the name of Piggy Wallace, Dickless Nixon, and Spiro Agnew. Leave brother Cleaver and Brother Malcolm alone please. After all is said and done, build a new route to China if they'll have you.

I apparently missed the political smug train

I did hear some random republican congressman go on about how to fix the economy

a quick reminder that either side of any debate in American politics has a completely different set of facts

Koshian

'facts'

Dubh

oh, they are facts

except when the correlation is made

As for the stripper, Mecklenborg’s excuse was, “I understand the interest in the DUI part, I guess, but the rest is a personal matter.”

That quote kills me.

I'm genuinely surprised that this hasn't happened yet. Though, I'm anxious to see who's involved in the next (and there will be a "next"), and what it will take to end it. Last time, it was two nuclear bombs. Shit's only going to get heavier.

Personally, I'm buying some guns at soonest convenience.

the way international economic ties work makes a world war immensely unlikely (everyone is codependent on each other, or at least the countries capable of having world wars) and it's the ozone hole above antarctica which is shrinking, which has basically nothing to do with global warming

that's not global warming

I'd love for a global warming explanation that isn't accompanied by a map of the world splashed in threatening shades of red

you know whats double funny: employers are staring to do credit checks for elegbility to work now. can you even begin to imagine what the world will be like when that's the norm? ahahhsadhdsas

this... has been fairly common for years, even in low-wage positions

or at least it is fairly common practice for employers to secure a license to perform a credit check in something signed by the applicant

I've been consenting to credit checks since before I had a credit score

Dubh

my credit score really shouldn't matter to a potential employers

they already have my state-issued id and social security card to prove I'm me

Drug checks and credit checks are a rarer concept over here in Blighty

I have never undergone either, although I hear MI5 etc. do it

MrMonroe

My current employer is a branch of an English company and they didn't have any drug or credit checks for me

my boss also leaves for like two hours at a time in the middle of the day to go to the gym maybe four days out of the week

"micromanaging" is not a word in these people's vocabulary

so mark that down on the "Lobsterbacks: Pros" column
