I'm just happy that there were some people in the South who just wanted to enslave poor people

Mudsill socialism has an old pedigree.

Pursuit didn't mean chasing after. It meant pursuit in the sense that we say someone has "a pursuit." A hobby, a career. A thing you work towards, continuously. Constant effort and struggle, like gardening a field, to become that person you were meant to be. The Pursuit of Happiness.

You mean to say it's not coomimg, consooming, and vidya?

lol this autistic family-abusing degenerate junkie is gonna wind up back in prison soon. And it'll be everyone's fault but his, of course. He should meet up w/Rekieta. They'd be fast friends, especially if Austin was willing to share his dealer contacts.

LOL, I was on his thread early 100 pages or so, and kinda said he needed his Civic and stood up for him a little. He really went from the hapless loser tramp to a total POS degen, but he really always was and I just gave up on him. I followed Boogie awhile too but got sick of that shit even worse, but you can say Boogie is just an actor that plays his part. Bossman is just a really awful irredeemable loser in the end I guess. I can't really follow any cows anymore, they're all old now and sad. I'll shit on Marzgurl still, but she deserves it the most.

Nick also needs to go to hell, no regrets or caring about anything at all. Fuck these idiots in the end. At least have some damn humility.

lolno, he's not an actor. Or, if you'd prefer, he's an actor who can only portray himself. He really is as stupid as he appears.

Ah, but that's the chief feature of a quality lolcow -- absolutely no shame or humility whatsoever, which leads them to endless fuckups they never learn from and no progress or growth of any kind.

True, but I like some kind of redemption arc I think long term. Eventually you get sick of them hitting bottom endlessly. At least I do. I followed Spoony a long time and he kind of redeemed and got boring too, so there's really not a great long term lolcow outcome. Most are flash in the pans so you move on to the next I guess.

C'mon, lads, Boogie's "Francis" character of 10-15 years ago was moderately amusing, be fair.

Have you had your glass of pure, clean rainwater today? It is the only way to get going on the right foot.

Can you fucking spergs stop talking about orgasms in my political autism thread

 

[Bland Crumbs]

Honestly? Good. Only way to get rid of these fucks is for black people to realize what web duBois and booker t Washington figured out in 1900 with the talented tenth: if your ancestors were selected for farm equipment you arent gonna have a lot to work with.

You could build up to it but it needs a total cultural shift

It would require change in government policy as well. The biggest cause of the black situation is gibs and it is by design. When the DNC realized blacks were starting to become upwardly mobile in the 60's going into the 70's they had to do something to make sure that they stayed down and voting Dem. So the single parent state was created.

Where you had a population gaining literacy and general education and a comparable single parenthood rate it was replaced with a shit show.

In my opinion the democratic party is the party of racism. Its not just against whites too. In the past couple of years we've seen them turn on blacks, asians and even mexicans. They look for a group that's easily controlled and right now that's illegals, troons and faggy college kids.

7. Make sure the White House library has lots of books with big print and pictures.

3. Will not get sick on Japanese leaders like other President Bushes I know.
2. Give Oval Office one heck of a scrubbing.
1. Tax relief for all Americans – except smart aleck talk show hosts.

No it wasn't. It was projection.

 

[he who has thus come/gone]

It's called glass, and it's borderline infinitely recyclable. You melt glass? You get glass. You melt plastic? You get toxic fumes and other byproducts and separation and some plastic back and it's a pain in the ass to recycle by comparison.

The problem is lawyers. If companies made glass containers for storing items, lawyers would be champing at the bit to sue the companies when a retard's kid smashed the glass at school and a shard took out their eye. The theory would be that the company knows glass is dangerous, that it markets items in glass containers for use by children, and that it's foreseeable that kids would smash (or drop) the glass containers and injure themselves.

Many of the problems in this country are the result of overzealous lawyers who are willing to sue anyone for the smallest thing. I honestly think part of the reason for this is the over-saturation of the market. When there are too many lawyers and not enough legal jobs to support them, lawyers start having to create new jobs (i.e. creating new reasons to sue people, turning lawyers into activists rather than professionals, etc.). If there were only 60 law schools in the US—as there probably should be—a lot of things would be a lot better.

Honestly I liked W a lot.. In his first term. After the 2004 election he just went to sleep it seemed. All the fire in the job was lost pretty bad. I mean compared to Rick Perry he was a great politician from Texas back then.

Most people probably don't remember anymore but the left had him in nazi regalia marching up and down as bad or worse than Trump. Any Republican is going to be called a Nazi and Hitler.

 

[DumbDude43]

You gotta at least have the decency to @ me if you're going to call me out here.

This reminds me of a classic autism that always got stuck in my brain like a splinter, a classic old type granola and health liberal "Huh?" That always go to me was their constant bitching about the plastics and containers and linings in cans and not a peep about trying to re-popularize the perfect material to safely store food that doesn't stain or leech.

It's called glass, and it's borderline infinitely recyclable. You melt glass? You get glass. You melt plastic? You get toxic fumes and other byproducts and separation and some plastic back and it's a pain in the ass to recycle by comparison.

It really gets in my craw that there isn't more glass advocacy for food packaging and storage. But I guess it's also logically fallen to the wayside due to the fragility, weight and the fact everyone can't be fucked to even place glass in a pick up basket or return program to benefit. It's just a hippie dippie sustainability and food and body concious thing you'd think they'd resonate with that never seems to come up.

glass is easily recycled yes
but glass containers are thick and heavy which makes transporting them around in bulk expensive and inconvenient

the real winner is metal. both aluminium and steel are very easily recycled as well, and you can make a container of equivalent size with much lower mass / lighter weight (compare for example the weight of a glass bottle to that of an aluminium can)
and as an added bonus metal isn't brittle like glass so it doesn't shatter into a million razor-sharp shards when you drop it

Seeing as every tv show and movie of the era bashed him extremely hard and made him seem like an incompetent retard, I think it’s safe to say that most people remember how much he was hated.
I remember I had a neighbor who had a giant photo of him in his garage but it was a mosaic of a bunch of dead soldiers from the Iraq war

 

[autistic dog]

There was even a television show called that's my bush making fun of him. At least until 9/11 happened.

The South Park guys. BDS was the origin of the 'Derangement syndrome' acronym. 9/11 got the left to settle down for 6 months or so, but code pink and the rest were back out marching around just as much now. The main difference is those same people were in their 30/40s then and are 60/70s now.

And all those fake assholes stfu when obama did the same war stuff in his term, and went back to being nuts with Trump over basically nothing. Then they went all pro-Ukraine war. The left is nothing but psychotic hypocrites. If their side is power any war is cool.
