Transcript:
Melvin: Leesten, Larry... Me no happy you make me volunteer blow self up, and me want you know me is do something geet even. Larry: Whuh you do? Melvin: Me unfriend you on Facebook. Larry: Dat low blow, Melvin.
Sorry Stephan: Considering the methods of pathetic & psychotic extremists, I’m not sure if this ongoing motif is myopic or just insensitive. It’s really NOT ironic at this point.
The scary thing is that these crocs are the end result of what scientists say are millions of years of evolution. AND through the process of natural selection , these are the best and brightest of thebunch or they wouldn’t have made it this far!
I never understood suicide bombers. Aside from I don’t like blowing things and up and killing people why do you have be there when the bomb blows up anyway?
In increasing order of the true reasons: A. it is more horrifying to the living B. It provides Instant Martyrs C.It removes “dead wood” from your terror organisationbut most significantly: D. It removes potential leadership rivals
The idea that evolution is “supposed” to result in progress is absurd. Organisms just adapt to their environment — if the times reward stupidity, then stupidity will thrive. How else to explain the emergence of the Tea Party?
@Fadeela Al DeayeaThe Tea Party is a dying movement. It was just a flash in the pan. It never was a grass roots organization to begin with. If it wasn’t for Fox News promoting it along with all of the Corporate sponsors, it never would have amounted to anything. Look at New Hampshire. The only State with a GOP State Party Chair that was a Tea Partier and 2 state house Republican seats have been flipped to Democrats. Now they are calling for him to step down. Also with such ‘quality’ candidates like Sharron Angle, Christine O’Donnell, and Carl Palidino, the country is seeing that the Tea Party is a joke. The only people scared of the Tea Party now is Republicans hoping to get candidates that have a chance of winning.
I suggest you read the book American Grace. In america any time Atheists are more popular than your group you have a problem. Course your post is a perfect example of why this is the case.
Do you even know the difference between a communist and a socialist?
Also, the original Tea Party in Boston was ignorant masses spurred on my some smugglers who were threatened by the East India Company’s massive dumping of overstocked tea at insanely cheap price to avoid bankruptcy.
The event DID finally turn the entire British Parliament against the American colonies and was one of the final push into the American Revolutionary War.
I am not making some of the revolutionary heroes look bad. It’s real history for those of you who bother to look deeper beyond pre-college textbooks.
You said that you were gonna ‘start firing back’. Well, I think you missed one. ‘JoPhan said, about 5 hours ago KABOOM!!!!!! CANT WAIT’ Sounds like a terrorist, political statement to me.
I had another comment to make about an article I read in the paper. I thought it was comical, it made me laugh. It is about a politician that is filing a $350 Million suite against the Feds because they didn’t keep the persons out of Texas. Now if we can just find a way to keep him out of the White House and stay down on the border convencing those folks they really want to stay home. Then I’d beleive in miracles.

Ti krima! Melvin has delivered the ultimate 2011 retort, and has probably hurt Larry’s feelings! How insensitive! It’s just not right.

Please express your political opinions on one of the political cartoons. I read the comics to escape momentarily from reality.
