I will never smoke weed. I live with two potsmokers, and having met all of their potsmoker friends, I am here to tell you that pot makes you stupid (and I realize their may be a few exceptions, I just haven't met them yet).

I am going to start "thesecondmetafilter.com". All posts and comments will be from conservative viewpoints, and all liberal commentors will be bashed and labeled as "secondtrolls".

This is precisely the reason for the US economic problem. Great post. And it's not alternate history (no matter how much you want it to be).

I'm GLAD it takes all this to become a citizen. If you don't have any job skills, education, and aren't even RELATED to someone here, you SHOULD be OUT OF LUCK getting a green card. God, if you people are so antsy to give your money away, just send the checks to me.

Global polls always show pretty much what I expect: that most of the world is populated by idiots.

Unhealthy food is generally cheaper than the healthy stuff. You can plop a "Whole Foods Market" right in the middle of a ghetto, and people will ride the friggin bus to get to a Mickey D's with a dollar menu.
And comparing a burger joint in a poor neighborhood to a strip clup next to an elementary school is a RIDICULOUS comparison.

It'll be interesting to see what happens in November when Obama gets 90 million votes and wins the popular vote in a landslide...
...and McCain only gets 30 million votes but wins the EC by 1 or 2.
That's why the electoral college is so important.
And don't forget: the U.S. is NOT a democracy (thank goodness).

I laughed at Martin Kove's assertion that "Rocky" doesn't have the staying power of "The Karate Kid".
And then I wondered if he was serious or just making a joke. It WAS Martin Kove, after all...

And then get a gun......
Are you seriously asking how to get a gun after you get out of jail? This is one of the easiest things in the world to do (which is why gun laws are ridiculous).

Laser it off. It costs more but it is cheaper than anything else, long term.

the corruption of all humanity into ant-like "work units" of no worth, no real use, and no dignity, is their explicit intention.
This is not what right-wingers want, let me assure you.
This is much more along the lines of what lefties want...

I used to bartend in college, in a pretty high-energy, albeit small, place in Birmingham. One of the most fun jobs I've ever had.
It was like being the host of my own party every night of the week, all the girls love you, all the guys love you, because you control the booze. You have the power to kick out people that are causing trouble, and it's a great way to meet LOTS of dating prospects.
The worst part is that you are on your feet all night,... [more]
