stfuconservatives:
Imagine that even one-third of the anger and vitriol currently being hurled at President Obama, by folks who are almost exclusively white, were being aimed, instead, at a white president, by people of color… How many [whites] would be calling for further crackdowns on thuggish behavior, and investigations into the radical agendas of those same people of color?

In Honor of LaVena Lynn Johnson
PFC LaVena Lynn Johnson died on July 19, 2005 while serving in Iraq. She had been severely beaten. Several of her teeth were knocked out. There were bite marks on her torso. And there was evidence of sexual assault including burns to her genitalia. She was shot in the head and the tent where her body was found had been set on fire. But the death certificate read that the manner of her death...

So there were WMDs in Iraq →
OK so there were are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Mostly toxins like mustard gas but not the massive nation destroying stockpile that we were lead to believe they had.
I don’t know how many people remember the night we declared war invaded Iraq but Saddam Hussein was made out to be an evil super villian with a dasterdly plan to destroy the world and we were sending in the GI Joes,...

I think I’ve managed to train most everyone to stop sending forwards. And I read my email in plain text to avoid the “decorations”. But the rest I haven’t been able to avoid yet.

I understand that you were brought up with no home training and that’s not your fault. But I would have hoped that by the time you got to be old enough to work in an office you would have figured out a few things. But since you clearly haven’t let me help you.
We all deal with our monthly visitors but when we use our hygine products we take care to dispose of the waste carefully so...

You know, I don’t feel so bad about members of congress getting those 6 figure salaries. But seriously, seeing as how I’m not going to get 100% of what I was promised I feel I should have the option to opt out of social security. I’m just saying. That’s a lot of money.

More on the Wealthy Poor and a "Fair" Society -... →
It’s interesting that even the highest income levels think they should have a smaller share of the wealth. But even with this study, the argument will still be how to reach that ideal.
I assume that the higher income levels will say that the lower income levels should work harder to earn more while the lower income levels will say that the higher income levels should give more.
I’m...

I'm Smrt.
I hate stupidity.
Not lack of intelligence, or lack of wisdom, or lack of knowledge.
I’m talking about willful ignorance. I’m talking about you really should know better. I’m talking just out and out why in the name of all that is good and decent did you do that stupidity.
Yea, I hate stupidity.
For example, the idiot in Virginia who thought it would be a good idea to buy a...

I’ve lost someone to suicide.
I’ve considered suicide.
A person dies by suicide about every 15 minutes in the United States.
You know that list of leading causes of death? Well for kids age 5-14 suicide is number 5 on that list and it’s number 3 for youth 15-24
Knowing all that made me hesitant to support a day about suicide for only one group of people when we need...
