In the wake of the Boston bombing, my cousin's girlfriend posted something like "don't be scared, Boston, you're protected by magic". Seriously? I mean, she's a sweet gal and I like her well enough but holy poo poo, gently caress off.

Half of my newsfeed is nasty looking casserole and macaroni salad recipes shared from Pampered Chef and Avon consultant pages. And they always say "make sure you share this on your personal pages so you can find it later!!!" It's such a weird, oddly specific formula that they all follow. Are MLMs making a comeback? I hope not

SurreptitiousMuffin posted:"I'm not racist but PISS OFF WERE FULL" Argh, I hate this notion that anyone can just show up and get benefits with no hassle. ou can't just come into the UK and be all like "Free money please". Most benefits need you to have lived in the UK to three years. Also, I'm sure people in Romania who are so impoverished that they're seeking better lives abroad are really big on making international calls to 0845 numbers and waiting on hold for loving ages.

I'm sure I saw on the news that, in a survey of people in Bulgaria/Romania, most of the people aren't that bothered about coming to the UK. The again that was on the BBC and what do THEY know compared to The Daily Mail, newspaper of champions!  I haven't really got much on my Facebook at the moment. I did have a bit of an argument with an ARE GUNS nut though. She lives in America, I live in the UK. She said this: ARE GUNS posted:You are going to the land of leftist liberal talking points. The 2nd Amendment of the United States guarantees its citzens the right to keep and bear arms. GUARANTEES. What I find laughable is that you probably don't know 10 people who own a gun so you base your assumptions on what you hear, not what you see or know. I was raised with over 40 firearms in my home. My father was a collector, as was his father, as is my son....and literally hundreds of folks in my own personal life. They use them for hunting, for sport, but what they have never done is gone into ANYWHERE and hurt another human being. More people in this country are killed in stabbings. The majority of responsible gun owners should NOT be punished for the stupidity of a very few crazies with illegal guns. You, [me!], make my head hurt and I am so glad you live where you do. We The People have that second amendment right because we had to fight our way free of the tyranny of another country. YOURS. We are a REPUBLIC. WE THE PEOPLE think you the people are uninformed but highly opinionated. I didn't even bother to reply. I was just gobsmacked.

Well, the only quantitative point she argues, that more people are killed by stabbings than by guns in the US, is atrociously, tremendously, utterly wrong. If you don't want to click through to the link, over 10,000 homicides were committed using firearms in the US in 2011 as compared to a little over 1,800 homicides from stabbing instruments.

Wasn't GB super economically depressed in the 60s and stuff? I don't get why Englishmen would have the same lust for postwar life as Americans. We were busy repressing minorities and buliding cars, wasn't England caught up in rebuilding everything that got bombed and propping up struggling industry? Sounds lovely to me.

One of my friends is doing a daily countdown to her wedding on Facebook. Daily. I would post a picture but it's literally just "120 days until I become a [lastname]!". She also ends every single post with the hashtag #[finance's last name]. Jesus Christ. (She's also 20, which might explain it).

The initial post, from a Muslim woman on Twitter and posted by a friend of mine. A reaction.  The same person's reaction to being argued with.  The link posted leads to a blog about "The passing scene and what it's about viewed from the traditionalist politically incorrect Right", in case you were wondering. When people say that they're not being racist, but...

You're about 20-30 years off. This is the generation who had parents in post-war Britain. I grew up in the 80s in the US - it wasn't that great. Paranoia over the Soviets, Ronald Reagan (Thatcher in Britain), New Kids on the Block... come to think of it, it wasn't all that different than now, we just had slightly different bogeymen.

 First off: Obama has about 300 foreign policy advisors. This image makes it seem like Brzezinski has more of a role that he had in the Carter Administration, which was National Security Advisor to the president. Second: That person isn't Osama Bin Laden.

One of my friends just shared this picture: from some page called "Uncle Sam's Misguided Children" which warns you to "UNLIKE US IF YOU ARE EASILY OFFENDED!" so you know this is going to be just precious.    There are not enough  smilies to match the amount of  in this picture.   Very classy  "Government Hot on the Trail of Snake Terrorists!" They also posted this:  shortly before posting this:    Hate. Haaaaaaate. Ooh! They sell shirts too! So that everyone will know to avoid you before they enter your kill radius.

Oh lord. I guess I forgot to mention that part due to how hard my eyes rolled when I first read it.
