Good thing we didn't privatize Social Security huh?

Root commented on Tornado Truthers.
You have to be pretty crazy to believe that the government is behind the Boston bombings and 9/11 but it takes a truly special kind of insane to believe that the government is creating and steering tornadoes to destroy small towns in Ohio.

Root commented on There Are No Atheists In Foxholes.
For just a moment, I thought his final comment "well, you made the right decision" was referring to her deciding to be an atheist. Then I realized it was whatever decision she'd made that kept her alive that they were discussing. I like my initial interpretation. I can just picture that conversation.
WB: Well, you have to thank God right.
Atheist Mom: Actually, I'm an atheist
WB: Well, you made the right decision. What sort of idiot believes in Bronze Age myths these days right?
AM: I lot of my neighbors oddly enough.

Damn! Why can't American Christian extremists show that kind of moral conviction? I think American Christian extremists should all go to church this Sunday and blow their own brains out on the altar. Now there's a way to rapidly improve our country.

I'm with 1. I hope that this trend of horrible people posting their horrible acts online continues so said horrible people can be quickly caught, tried, thrown in jail and hopefully castrated with a rusty hammer.

Root commented on Walter Cronkite and the Future of the Kitchen in 1967.
When restaurants can make food that's as delicious, healthy and cheap as I can I'll consider your suggestions. Until then, take your communal kitchen idea and shove it up your ass. Look out for the sharp knives and hot stovetop.
Actually, Even if they can make it as healthy and cheaply as I can I say fuckit. Without a kitchen what would I do with all the fresh veggies I pull out of my garden? Bring them to a restaurant and ask them to cook it? How would I prepare a quick meal for my friends for a spontaneous get together?
All around Charles, like most of your ideas, go fuck yourself with your idiotic collectivist fantasies.

@69,
I must not have that defect as I've had sex with a number of people more than twice that I never fell in love with. In fact, the vast majority of people I've had sex with more than twice I never fell in love with. Most of them never fell in love with me either. I think your "defect" is less prevalent than you think.
BTW, your description of our relationship sounds terrible. I'm glad you've found a rhythm for dealing with your partner's dickishness but maybe you should consider finding someone who's less of a dick.

Absolute 100% textbook example of abusive behavior.
Step 1: Do terrible things to your partner
Step 2: Convince your partner that the terrible things you're doing are her fault
Step 3: When she does what you want be nice for a bit
Step 4: Do terrible things to your partner
Step 5: Convince your partner that the terrible things are due to another thing you want her to change and that she just needs to think about step 3 and how much better it is when she does things that let him do step 3.
Step 6: Profit
I don't think Dan went far enough. DTMFA and immediately block his phone number and email address. Unfriend him on Facebook and avoid all contact. I've seem far too many friends go back to these sorts of shitheads when they get back in touch and convince them that it's all going to be step 3 forever and ever.
Vag, someone with social anxiety disorder should not be spending her time with an emotionally abusive alcoholic. That will only compound your problems.

Root commented on What a Wonderful World It Would Be.
Sadly none of those people would be taken away. Likely if the Rapture happened today nobody would even notice it. We'd probably only lose about 100 people and it wouldn't be any of the people you want gone.
