  • 4chan

    4chan is some kind of poster case for, "You can force people to be constructive at jobs - but they will find ways to undo all the good they do."

  • Small Violin

    I wonder what it's like to have that total lack of regret about one's relationships.

    I'll sing it one last time for you
    Then we really have to go
    You've been the only thing that's right
    In all I've done

    And I can barely look at you
    But every single time I do
    I know we'll make it anywhere
    Away from here

    Light up, light up
    As if you have a choice
    Even if you cannot hear my voice
    I'll be right beside you dear

  • Life

    IF someone's life is lost in a violent act of nature, that is NOT a gift. They didn't choose it. They didn't do it for us. Their lives were taken from them. That's theft. Any capricious spirit or God or force of nature who engineered a disaster of that scope for those ends is no force or power that *I* would ever want to worship. THAT God sounds like a thief and a murderer. - Nephyo

    Well, it's a question of where your baseline falls, isn't it?  If you own your life, if you own your destiny, and some foreign agent comes and conspires to take it from you, then certainly this hostility is warranted.  If, on the other hand, a deity gave you life, with the understanding that you wouldn't live forever and some day they'd call in their marker, why, that's just part of the deal that gave you life in the first place.

    That said, I don't really believe that any but the most hard-boiled of extremists would argue that disasters are deliberate.  Still, if that's what they want to believe, you may not want to enter into discussion assuming that they share your understanding.  It is unlikely to be productive.

  • Describe Marsellus Wallace

    Remember Two Gentlemen of Lebowski? Here's Pulp Bard, a retelling of Pulp Fiction:

    Julius: Your pardon; did I break thy concentration?
    Continue! Ah, but now thy tongue is still.
    Allow me, then, to offer a retort.
    Describe Marsellus Wallace to me, pray.
    Brett: What?
    Julius: What country dost thou hail from?
    Brett: What?
    Julius: Thou sayest thou dost hail from distant What!
    I know but naught of thy strange country What.
    What language speak they in the land of What?
    Brett: What?
    Julius: English, base knave, dost thou speak it?
    Brett: Aye!
    Julius: Then hearken to my words and answer them!
    Describe to me Marsellus Wallace!
    Brett: What?
    (JULIUS presses his knife to BRETT's throat)
    Julius: Speak 'What' again! Thou cur, cry 'What' again!
    I dare thee utter 'What' again but once!
    I dare thee twice and spit upon thy name!
    Now, paint for me a portraiture in words,
    If thou hast any in thy head but 'What',
    Of Marsellus Wallace!

  • Cultists

    - by MrCulexus

    The ironic thing is that this is supposed to be an example of spectacular unattractiveness, yet I know there are girls who would kill to be that thin.
