Politics, terrorism, + Evolution = a better world? (Satire)

DaddyOfTheRose @DaddyOfTheRose (2934) • United States 17 Jul 08

Terrorist groups need people to fight their battles for them. The leaders, of course, are far too cowardly to go off and fight themselves. They need young men, easily duped, that can be sent of on this meaningless missions....

owatagoosiam Guess people can't really digest satire anymore. It would be nice to think that the enemy might breed themselves into something more acceptable. Like a parasite evolving into a symbiont. It would be nice because it would mean we didn't have to kill them. I...

Mean but True

DaddyOfTheRose @DaddyOfTheRose (2934) • United States 31 Mar 08

Have you ever heard someone, being mean or petty, using a phrase as "It's not mean if it's true" as if it somehow laundered their spitefulness. As if anything can be said if it is 'true' without their being some subjectiveness in...

owatagoosiam If what is true cannot be mean, then a lie cannot be kind. People tell lies in order to spare another's feelings, which would be kindness. Another approach might be that mean is the opposite of kind and if the person were kind, they would have seen no...

owatagoosiam Well, I think she has ever right to press the issue. That is pretty crazy. Once they ID'd the culprit as the nipple ring, that should have been enough.

owatagoosiam I had sweet potato chips once. They were interesting, dusted with cinnamon sugar I think. I also had a similar chip from Pringles. I think I liked the real sweet potato chip better, but I can remember where I tasted 'real' sweet potato chips.

owatagoosiam My bedtime growing up was 8:00pm until sometime around age 10, I think. At some point it moved up to 9:00pm then 10:00pm but I don't know when I'm sure I was getting close to being a senior before I got to stay up until 10. Unfortunately, this set a pattern...

owatagoosiam Old newspaper works? Hrm, I would have thought the newsprint ink would have a tendancy to come off or something when it gets wet. When I was a newspaper boy, many years ago, I was always coming home with blackened hands full of newsprint ink.

owatagoosiam I really would have to stand up in favor of the Sorbet? Itallian Ice seems to work very well with an Itallian Pasta dinner to my mind. I forget what the brand is in the store that I used to buy.

Britney Spears little sister engaged

ersmommy1 @ersmommy1 (12587) • United States 29 Mar 08

Britney's sister engaged! Should Britney Spear's pregnant little sister be getting married? Or is she about to make a huge mistake! At 16? http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2008/03/28/britney.sister.engaged.cnn

4 responses

owatagoosiam Many people get married at an early age because of a pregnancy. In Little Spear's case, I'm guessing this helps salvage her reputation a bit so she can still have a career. "At least she married the man." --- or something like that.

owatagoosiam At this point, things are looking bleak for the Mrs. Clinton, which is really a shame. I'm democratic, but I have to see Mr. Obama as lacking the required experience for the job. I have said that for quite awhile now. McCain might actually be able to get my...

Former "Quincy, M.E." star Jack Klugman sued NBC Universal Friday, claiming the studio is lying about the show's profits and owes him money. Klugman, 85, played the crime-busting Dr. R. Quincy on the show from 1976 to 1983.I don't...

owatagoosiam I think the actor is worthy the royalties from the show, of course. I think it is rather slimey to try to cut the actor out of agreed upon earnings. I think there should be a big penalty for companies who do this to discourage accounting tricks.

Madonna wants the media to leave Britney Spears alone. "They need to step off," she told the "Yo on E!" satellite radio show. "For real ... Let's go save her." What do you think? Can Britney be "saved"?

owatagoosiam No. Interesting that Madonna's still speaking up for her. I think Britney needs too much psychological help and that she continues to gutshot her career with her antics.

owatagoosiam Well, I'm not so sure. It seems like an anti-latnio judge on first glance. Diggin into it a little more, I see that it had the approval of a leading member of the latino community. So, I guess, if that guy agrees with it, I'm find with it.
