How much of the negative campaigning in America can be attributed to the nasty political atmosphere, and how much can be attributed to the WASP cultures distaste for boasting? After all, if it's less frowned upon to talk bad about your opponent than it is to glorify yourself, why not?

That may be someone else's thought, honestly.

Do the "Job Creators" and other oligarchs in this country see us as children? Is that why they get so upset with us when we seem to be "ungrateful" for the pitiful allowance they give us?

You need conservatives to keep progressives from going faster than society can handle. American conservatives, though, seem to be focused on the wrong thing.

I would like someone to tell me just where it is in the world that a LACK of government makes things better, because I can't think of any place.

Why did Jobs name his company "Apple"? Did he see the technology as forbidden? As leading to a host of sins? I suppose I could read about this somewhere.

I think it's hilarious that I've been seeing "blah" substituted for "black" on the Internet. Fuck you, Paul Ryan.

"Duckface" photos will be the 2030s equivalent of bell-bottom photos.

Guess who's in charge of fixing management problems? Management. Can you see the problem?

Bad workers are not a problem, they are a symptom. The problem is bad management.

Pie is better than cake.

If you have a personal device, do everyone a favor and get some headphones. It's called "personal" for a reason.

Patriotism should not be mistaken for civic pride.

Saying: "So-and-so wouldn't admit to flames if his dick was on fire."
