Don't worry, we realize not everyone there is a hick :)

For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Part of her confusion might be explained by her constant references to the "Muslim race" and the idea that Muslims wiped out the Islams. She started out as an anti-Asian campaigner. Australia being "Swamped By Asians" was her warning (never happened BTW).

"The Muslims were wiped out by the Muslims" xD
Being Asian is a crime! D:

Sorry Skyrunner, gonna have to take you in. I'll tell the cafeteria lady to pick the worms outta your gruel, though. :P

I don't get it. If Austrailia turned mostly asian that would be bad how? Natural demographic change happens. Flipping your shit because the Japanese ran out of room isn't going to magically create an atlantis for them all to move to.

Everyone knows that walls are what you want when you're hankering for some good old fashioned racism. Australia never built a big wall through the ocean, so they obviously don't really care.

Why does a big wall straight trough the ocean sound as an awesome idea...

Knowing Belgium, everyone will vote for themselves out of mistrust for anyone else, and some kind of weird direct democracy coalition will need to be formed from 11 million or so individuals.

You should stop wasting your time on useless stupid [show I watch], so you can watch the REALLY important and worthwhile things, such as [show he watches].

Or pretty much any variation of the "STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE!!!"

From what I understood rapture was sort of communist... although it had rampant consumerism.

Communism in Rapture would have caused Andrew Ryan to foam at the mouth and go on a ballistic rampage. The entire thing was conceived and built on the principals of Objectivism as told by Ann Ryan (hence Andrew's name). So it's pretty much as far from communism as possible (though if I remember correctly a hippie-type commune did form at some point in its history).

Wasn't it supposed to be a parody of Randian values?

Bioshock 1 or 2? 1 was a parody of hardcore Randian values, 2 was a parody of the exact opposite with hardcore collectivism.

To summarize my most recent rare conversation with one of my cousins with the highlights of stupid;

  • She had never heard of the American civil war.
  • Criticized me for using words she didn't understand. "Big words," that made me sound like a "snobbish middle class" person. Sour :<
  • Asked me what I was "insinuating" even when I said I could point out all the slang she's adopted for her language. Trying to be respectful here and talking to someone as an equal, when out comes the insults.
  • Did not see the irony in using a 5 syllable word to criticize the length of mine.
  • If wrong, shout mode activated.
  • Has a really horrific shout mode.
  • Completely disregards that there's an entire room of people present.
  • He he he. Shout mode for everyone activated.

Earlier today, we discussed the Supposed coming apocalypse.
Me:"They say It will happen on the 21, but the world isn't gonna happen. I mean, what's changed that could end the world?"
Another classmate, responding to the first sentence:"No, Its on December 10th."
Me, somewhat confused:"Who told you that?"
Him:"Assassin's Creed 3."
