The 'Average Joe' In This Country Can Eat More Of My Shit Every Day |
|
walked down to my local pub/restaurant for lunch (like most days)
bunch of regulars (we exchange pleasentries) show up like always.
anyhoo.....
the TV's are set to CNN & ESPN
on one set, the "McCarthy hearings" over baseball steroids are on ESPN :eyes:
and on the other, CNN's dribble. sooooooo they show the verdict yesterday of the Blake trial (who REALLY gives a flying fuck) and this group of otherwise (normal) people have the following exchange:
person #1: "so, what do y'all think of the Blake verdict?"
person #2: "well, they let the ni**er walk, why not the white guy?" (OJ reference)
person #3: "bout time the white guy caught a break too."
person #1: "you don't think he did it?"
person #2: "who cares? If the ni**er gets to walk, so does he."
yeah, all you lurkers, i just LOVE this country on a daily basis :eyes:
the "Average Joe" can suck it.

Is cheaper that institutionalization. Not safer. Just cheaper. :eyes:

3. They'll lick it instead. Don't worry and don't get angry. |
|
The average joe, between the IQs of 80 and 110, won't survive peak oil.
Also, the Blake jurors aren't the OJ ones - can't the fuckers figure that basic piece out? They can lick it for all I care, if they're THAT obtuse.
Question is, how do those of higher intelligence survive? It's intelligence that'll save us in the end, if anything.
Sorry, but peak oil is a reality and there are hard questions here.

8. and thats why we are toast |

Can the average joe plant wheat, grow it, harvest it, grind it and make bread? Do we even know what a wheat stalk looks like? Ha. We have to put little screw caps on the orange juice carton because opening it the old way was just too complicated. Pulp? Low Pulp? No pulp? With Calcium/without? How many kinds of oj is enough, I wonder.

4. so three ignorant racists |
|
are representative of the millions of so-called "average joes" in the US?
perhaps you should be asking yourself why you frequent a pub full of racists, instead of projecting the stupidity of a few on a nation of hardworking decent people.

"i dont' frequent a pub "full of racists" thank you"
a pissy little response to painting your favorite establishment as a palace of racism for someone willing to paint millions with the same brush.

Shoot every third one!
That might actually put the fear of God in these people.
And maybe that fear of God would humble them enough to learn a thing or two.

I have no problem telling the Joes and Josephines around here that I hope that they enjoy swimming in the shit they helped to create by using their bigotry and hate as a reason to vote Dimson** into the White House again.
Greed and bigotry used as an excuse to flush the country down the toilet. Dumbfucks.

Way back, during my church going days, I attended a seminar by Fr. Tang, a missionary. After his Sunday sermon, the halls were packed with those anxious to hear more of his message.
His first question was,
"If Jesus, were to return today, where do you think he would go?"
"To the bars, the whorehouses, the drug addicts, to ones who need him."
The next meeting was reduced to one row. We heard what he was saying and not focusing on judging his words.
He wasn't surprised, he alway did that.
Weeded out those who were there for show. Jesus was a tough guy to hangout with. He was surrounded by murders, whores & lepers. Language wasn't an issue.
Message received....
Don't be so heavenly bound, you are of no earthly good.
End of sermon.

15. They wouldn't focus on this manure if big media didn't shove our faces in |

Edited on Thu Mar-17-05 04:03 PM by w4rma
it every day, instead of focusing on important topics. And CNN wonders why their ratings are in the toilet. At least FOX talks about the important things going on in our country (even while they shill for the side that harms us all and distort the topics to favor their position against the rest of us).
