I don't mean to sound racist, but imagine what the moon buggy would have been like if Cheech and Chong were driving it.

That's the thing with you. Sometimes you're brilliant!

I swear I came here to post something but I read this and a minute later realised I was just staring blankly at the screen with a completely empty mind.

Anthony Cumia:

At least he has found a new audience, right? Anything else I could possible say would be self-indulgent and preaching to the choir.


Big Bang Theory:

Much like Marcia I hated The Big Bang Theory for a long time. I thought it was just me, I'm often a hater and never gave the show a real chance. Now I love the big bang theory. So much so that for a month anytime I was at home I had the entire 7 seasons worth of episodes playing on a loop. It's just a silly sitcom. I think complaining that it doesn't portray how real Physicist live their lives or is an accurate depiction of their personalities is akin to someone disliking Family Matters because it didn't reflect their own family life. I mean I grew up in a black household and I didn't have a nerdy neighbor that built a robot copy of himself. I never had a little sister that mysteriously disappeared after four years while the rest of my family made no mention of her existence or sudden disappearance. My father wasn't a cop who provided Bruce Willis moral/comedic support while he foiled the plot of a group of terrorist.

I'm not sure if it's disturbing that I have stronger opinions on The Big Bang Theory than I do of Israel and Palestine.

Well poke my holes and call me Switzerland! I can definitely see valid points on both sides of this week's discussion, but regardless, I just don't like that people/countries/groups who disagree on certain things feel killing each other is going to either magically make it all better or that war is the only option because absolutely everything else has been tried, but in reality, maybe only a few suggestions were tried and ended up failing. (I can agree there are times war could be/is necessary, but I sure as hell am not the best one to make that decision). Shit. Sorry for that patchouli smell, man.

Onto something I feel more comfortable giving an opinion about; animal abuse. Fuck Michael Vick. Thank you.

But no, pets are reliant on their humans. If you beat the shit out of a dog, they're going to live the rest of their lives in fear that they're going to be beaten again. Same with the pits Vick was putting up against each other. They see that their human wants them to fuck this other dog up, so they do. And they more than likely get praised for it, so they'll keep doing what their master says as long as that praise keeps coming. Animal minds are malleable. Maybe not to the fullest extent, but shit. Its pretty close!

Here's my animal story for the week ... My friend who works at a vet clinic had a breeder bring in a 6 week old Catahoula Leopard puppy, saying that her eyes should be opened by now but they aren't. The vet examined her and found that her eyes were not fully developed in the womb, so she'll be blind her entire life. The breeder said that she can't take care of a blind dog and doesn't think anyone would want her because she's blind, so she wanted to go ahead and euthanize her. She's a completely healthy and happy puppy besides the fact that she can't see. She has no idea that sight is even an option with life. My friend posted a pic and some info about her on Facebook, trying to see if anyone would be interested in adopting her and I was like, fuck yeah I want her. I couldn't give two shits less if she was blind with three legs. To kill a healthy pup simply for an underdevelopment is just a very odd choice in my opinion. Especially without trying to find a home for her before jumping to the most extreme option.

Sure, I can admit it's going to be a different approach to training and everyday life and that I'll have to work with her a bit differently than how people would normally work with sighted dogs, but I don't think anyone's uncomfortableness with her condition justifies killing her before she has really even lived.

She's the whiter puppy of the two.(Thankfully, amirite guys??) hahaha.

Reverse racism, heterophobia, Christian prosecution and all those things DON'T EXIST. Bigotry requires a system of power, a complex and gargantuan social machine of separation and lack of privilege.

You're an idiot.

I suppose you think the knockout game that was entirely played by black youths and against whites wasn't racist in the least?
Heterophobia? I implore you to look into some LGBTBBQ communities where heteros are seen as the source of the world's problems and actively hated upon.
Christian prosecution? Have a look at Africa and the Middle-East,it won't be covered in the regular news cycle but their is genocide currently going on against christians. Churches sacked and burned, followers massacred in their homes.

Bigotry is hate, hate doesn't require anything. Just look at sports team fans.

Maybe whites are just getting tired of being blamed for all the world's ills when they've done so much to make it better.

Maybe you're obviously a racist, so your opinion on institutional racism is that it's awesome.
