  • It’s one thing to demand justice for those who cannot obtain it themselves. That is noble, and just.

    It’s quite another to lament all day about the guy who absent mindedly stole your place in the self checkout lane. To lay in accusations of malice when ignorance would otherwise do.

    I’ll grant you that the way things should be is very often at odds with the way things are. But no person I’ve met who I would describe as an obsessively negative person could ever be labeled an optimist. Their view of the world is always one of conflict. No grace given for innocent mistakes, no breath taken when the weight of the world comes down upon their shoulders in a way that simply cannot be changed. These people are ever the victim of their own mentality.

    I wonder if they can experience joy because they seem hard wired to find the fault in every bit of happiness. To seek out sour grapes and bitter apples in every bowl of sweet fruit.

    ACKTSHUALLY THO the Irish potato famine was socialism actually. Because see the British were trying to save the Irish FROM socialism, so they HAD to take all the crops. Because, ummm, if they let the Irish keep the crops that they grew, WHICH WERE FOR THE BRITISH, then that was socialism.

    Also the Irish did it to themselves they were just too lazy to work. The British were starving too. Because see the famine. And it started in Kansas. JUST LIKE THE SPANISH FLU. So anyway now we have a free and capitalism Ireland like baby Irish Jesus intended.

    Glad to have cleared that up mate.





  • I have been telling my wife since we got married that we will not be buying Samsung appliances. I’ll pay twice as much for anything else.

    When we went to buy a new washer and dryer the sales guy really hyped up the wifi connectivity and all the extra features you get with a Samsung washer. The point that I will only ever be near my washer and dryer when I need to use it seemed to fly so far over his head her couldn’t see it with the naked eye.

    At no point in the last 5 years with these appliances have either I, or my wife, even thought about the washer while we weren’t literally standing in front of it. Let alone needed it to have an Internet connection.
