Even if there is an optimum, remember that there likely is a lot of divergence between people. What might be good for you might not be for your neighbor.

Of course. See also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circadian_rhythm

"I'm just suspicious they're sneaking in to contaminate our country."
Some quote in the newspaper about the planned mosque and how Muslims will destroy our purity protect the children oh nooooooooo

Oh god fucking damn it. I hate it when people hate on Muslims. It is SOOO FUCKING STUPID. Baader Meinhof gang, mafia, and the Crusaders were christian, but people don't go, "Watch out for those silly christians, they'll cut your throat open, stick a cut up soda can in there, and let you bleed to death!"
Just because someone is of a specific religion does not mean they conform to stereotypes about that religion.
Sigh. /rant

Sorry about that, pet peeve of mine.

I understand. It's high on my list as well, only topped by "The US beat Germany in WWII".

Have those people ever heard of "Operation Barbarossa"?

George Orwell is 'too Left-wing’ for a statue, BBC tells Joan Bakewell - pretty stupid enough in itself (why should his politics matter? He was a great journalist and writer), but some of the comments are priceless:

I am almost stunned speechless. Who in the world would call Orwell "left-wing"? Do they consider Vlad Putin "right-wing"?

Orwell was right-wing, and Putin left-wing? This comment brought to you from Reverse World.

How could he be too "left-wing" when his two greatest books -- among the greatest books ever -- Animal Farm and 1984 were take-downs of the  left-wing Soviet system? How could he be too left-wing when he fought against the National Socialists in Germany and their ideological brothers Franco and Mussolini? I doubt this lady's story at the outset, just as Orwell taught us to do!

Yes, because they called it "National Socialism" it had to be socialist! Just look at the name! Duh!

Man, looking like a whole organisation must be pretty great, banned from somewhere? Put on a different face!

A lot of people have probably heard about this, but that one guy in the US running for office in...Minnesota, I think? Anyway, he said something about a woman's body being able to stop a pregnancy in the case of "legitimate rape."







The fuck.

I believe he meant "legitimate rape" not as in "rape that is justified" but as in "rape that is actually rape".

His science is still bullshit, I'm not supporting him. It's just that the comment was said badly, and made him look extra-dumb.

[Loud Whispers]

Oh god fucking damn it. I hate it when people hate on Muslims.

I assume you're talking about the "MUSLEEMS IS TERRERRISTS" thing going on. Don't get it confused with hate for Islam, since there are a lot of atrocities and oppression done for Islam. But that's for a more serious thread... And possibly the sad thread too.

Missouri, not Minnesota.

Here's a better (bad, maybe outdated) vegan joke:  How many vegans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?  None, General Electric tests on animals

...I don't get it...

The vegans refuse to use the lightbulbs because the company uses animal testing. They're boycotting GE.

"watched an hour video today about bread. thought to myself... i'm asian... my people eat rice... i don't even LIKE bread...!"

The glaring stupidity of this comment really pisses me off. Most Asians don't even EAT rice naturally unless they're from the South. Wheat and barley are the most common grains in mid to Northeast China, not even including the arid inner reaches of China to Mongolia and Central Asia. But yeah, up here, we eat a LOT of bread. So don't go and say "My people eat rice." That's one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard.

Perpetuate baseless stereotypes, why don't you. In the name of "your people."

Oh yeah, you're right.
I don't like either state, of course. But there's a certain soft spot in my heart for Minnesota, if only because that's where my mom is from, and she's the main reason I exist. Of course, I have an even bigger soft spot for North Dakota, because that's where my parents met and went to school. But I still think both states, in total, are like a "buffer zone" between hick and civilized country. Come on, admit it, everyone in the US has this prejudice, unless you're from one of the "hick states" in question.

[bukitodinos]

as a canadian... what?


ON TOPIC: 'BRB EVERYONE IM GOING AFK!' this was said when they were getting up to get a beer.....

[Criptfeind]

As a Minnesotan I can tell you, the Dakotas are not a 'buffer' for hicksvill. If you know what I mean.

Nice though. Nice Hicks.

ON TOPIC: 'BRB EVERYONE IM GOING AFK!' this was said when they were getting up to get a beer.....

Was this said online, or in a meatspace situation?

[The Darkling Wolf]

Presumably meatspace. Excessive use of the shift key, whilst annoying, is not particularly amazingly stupid.

My people got invaded to death. There's probably less than a million of us left (including those of us who are more everything else than Cherokee. I'm mostly white, but I still count.)
