Random Politics & Religion #00

Except those *** are worthless, chasing anything that they can get angry over and give themselves financial or political relevance by pursuing.

If you are talking about women I agree !

You're kissing face with the Knight Templar trope Ramy. Idealism is prone to quickly becoming well-intentioned extremism.

I was once young and idealistic then I got old and bitter !

I'm well aware of that.

Which is why I'm not in the military. It's why I chose to not pursue a career in law or law enforcement. Both were very serious considerations. I actually had the grades and connections to get into one of the military academies.

But honestly, even then I knew that my ideals are too rigid for real-world application.

My wife put it best almost 15 years ago, paraphrasing a line from The Princess Bride:

"You've got an overdeveloped sense of justice; it's going to get you into trouble one day."

So here I am. A dual history/journalism degree later working in the public health field trying to do something good whilst still drawing a fairly substantial paycheck. ^^;

I'm like four years older than you! -.-;

My age varies depends on what day of the week it is.

SO DOES EVERYONE'S. THAT'S HOW TIME WORKS, YOU NINNIE.

It's all about how old you feel! I think I'm Benjamin Button born old.

Okay, seriously. The obsession with the word "feel" is reaching epic-level proportions.

We all have feelings. Even when you "make fun of" feels, you're expressing a feel!

/meta

Some of us have varying degrees of feels. It varies.

You mean it "very's".

Netanyahu tells Obama Iran deal 'threat to Israel's survival': spokesman

Now for something probably expected !

You are NOT old.

I am staring 71 in the eyeteeth.

I refuse to admit that I am old.

Older than you oh **** yes.

Old is a number or an attitude. I haven't the attitude. I'm still radical.

It seems everyone knows my age I don't remember telling my age...maybe I was drunk at the time.

I saw what you did, mr. applecrounch.

If you were drinking at like 10:00 a.m., maybe...it was definitely during the regular work day non-traditional-drinking-time part of the day though.

Colorado Furor Erupts Over Charges Filed, and Not Filed, in Grisly Attack on Pregnant Woman


I don't know what's worse; that such a heinous crime needs to carry a murder charge to have any weight or that pro-life opportunists are jumping at a chance to victimize this woman again, turning her ordeal into their own political soapbox.

Denver come for the skiing stay for the crazy *** !

Since she is a woman I expect 3 months probation and a promise not to do that again !

Oh and in case you are wondering that pizza shop raised 500k last I checked.

I wasn't. Also, wrong thread!

All threads are about gay pizza now though... new rule !

Ah.

You think the local pizza place will understand when I call in my order for a homo pie in a couple hours here or not?

Possibly:

The economy added 126,000 jobs in March, the Labor Department reported Friday, down substantially from February’s increase of 295,000 jobs. Unemployment was 5.5 percent, unchanged from February, and average hourly private-sector earnings were up 7 cents, up from February’s 3-cent increase.

Analysts had predicted the creation of about 247,000 jobs, an unemployment rate of 5.5 percent and an increase in hourly earnings of 0.2 percent, according to a Bloomberg survey of economists.

The number of jobs added in March is lowest since December 2013, when 109,000 jobs were created, and the Labor Department revised down the amount of jobs added in January and February by a combined 69,000.

The jobs report provides further evidence that economic growth has slowed since the end of 2014. March’s deceleration in job growth followed a slowdown in GDP growth during 2014’s fourth quarter to 2.2 percent, compared to an impressive 5 percent in the third quarter. The Atlanta Fed’s GDP Now forecast for GDP growth in the first quarter of 2015 is currently a weak 0.1 percent.

I don't support Disney/Pixar movies but okay !

Are you one of those sticks-in-the-mud who only likes non-computer animation?

No I just don't like kid movies.
