Wow, the US has some lovely DUI statistics, in the UK it's about 500 for a population about 1/5 the size, that's like 5 times more per capita in the US.

I honestly didn't know what to say any longer to this woman. I know it seems like I am giving up in the end because I did, but only to protect my sanity. How do you talk to someone who doesn't realize how nice and convenient they have it? They do have black friends though, so I guess I was wrong about everything. I looked at her wall, it isn't private, and there are a LOT of links from cns about Benghazi and how stupid democrats are so I'm not sure it was worth it even to start this poo poo.

I have a lot of relatives who post similar stuff, I usually just smirk to myself and take some joy in the fact that they feel every day like their values are dying a slow death in society.

But seriously, the world is full of people like that and you'll never convince them all that they're wrong. Don't waste your time.

Their values are dying a slow death because more and more people are realizing every day that you don't need to be a lovely person because a book said so.

(Tebow vs. Collins)

Consider pointing out that Tim Tebow is primarily ridiculed as a lousy football player first, and an attention-seeking evagelist a very distant second.

Post a picture of a pistol, put "35,000 deaths caused by these"(may as well count suicides since it doesn't appear to be counting just murders) and say "I agree, next time you need to go to the hospital, just shoot yourself instead"

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure most Tebow-ists just assume people mocking him as a lovely football player are doing it as a front for mocking his religion. Because everything comes back to oppressing Christianity.

This might help. That image is only counting rifle deaths. The number of total firearm homicides in 2011 was 8,583. That doesn't include accidents or suicides. http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2011/crime-in-the-u.s.-2011/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8

I saw that, and initially thought that was his "subtle" way of indicating "HEY GUYS LOOK HOW MUCH I'M GETTING LAID THE LADIES JUST CAN'T KEEP THEMSELVES OFF MY JUNK". Then I saw the picture of his cocaine.

I really need to stop assuming that people are brighter than they actually are.

Context: Black is a member of the Green Party who stood as a candidate in the last election. He claims to be a socialist and usually attacks the current British Government for attacking the poor, so attacking Sunderland for being full of "diseased tramps" is a little bizzare. I get the whole football banter thing and I think Pink is being a little too moralistic but still it's a little weird. Maybe I just don't get football :(

I don't know, just from that collection it seems like a joke. Like, he JUST KEEPS ACCIDENTALLY putting "haha yeah we sure hosed" as his status and then instead of deleting it just comments "oops didn't mean to do that, I was talking to a girl, who I hosed". I dunno. I feel like it has to just be a guy trying to be funny.

I mean, look at the first one on the top, the one about the blowjobs. Who would reply three times like that in earnest? And say "embarassing hope no one sees this" without a trace of irony? That wouldn't happen, right? Right?

I understand that the Bioshock games are good and that I should probably play them at some point, but I think the internet at large would have been much better off if they didn't exist. The amount of people that missed the point of the first one especially is just staggering. Like... again, I haven't played the game, but isn't the guy they're always quoting and praising a bad guy, whose entire scheme went to pretty unarguable amounts of poo poo? And these guys think this guy had good ideas.

Yeah, I figure I don't need to spoil the basic plot of Bioshock in 2013, so this is the guy whose city based on that principle basically turned into a drug fueled underwater Ultra-Somalia.
