What's it like in funny little brains? It must be so boring.
Honestly, I don't know if it's this thread making me notice more nonsense on my feed or what, but here's another one.




I'm not blocking out any names since this was taken from a public page. The rest of the comments are pretty much the same as those three. My boyfriend's mom commented on it too (which is how I came to find the picture) about how we're just brainwashed.

I'd be willing to bet the majority of the posters have not been to college, given they don't really seem to understand how college works...

College grads, we're terrorists. Did any of you guys know? Cause I think I missed "terrorist training day" during undergrad.

While having a missing child isn't a big laughing matter I did kinda do a double take inspecting this.

(not blocking names as she wants this shared)

It's a terrible situation and I hope she gets found and is very safe. But that last sentence, to me, says a lot about the mother and probably sheds some light on why her daughter ran away in the first place. :smith: it's a sucky situation all around.

My guess was that she might be trying to impress the gravity of the situation on anyone else who might see that, like her daughter's friends. Kids can be pretty callous so "this is illegal" could mean more to them than her being very worried about her child.



In more lighthearted news,

Yeah, maybe. It just came off as an appeal to punishment over an appeal to emotion and rubbed me wrong. I probably overthought it, though.

I used to work with a super right-wing guy who used every opportunity to tell us about how awful Obama was, how man-made climate change wasn't real, and how Andrew Breitbart was an American hero.

That said, a favorite topic of his was how the American college system was indoctrinating kids to be Marxists, and how since the 60's the U.S. has been harboring Soviet ex-pat college professors to warp the minds of college kids.

So, after doing some research, I have found out that the high five thing is referring to some anti-flu measure a youth soccer club had back in January, and the sushi thing is the policy of some weird sushi restaurant.

I don't have the heart to tell him that New York City doesn't actually base its legal system off of Calvinball.

What's weird is the missing daughter picture says she was last seen a day prior to the ecard meme being posted.

Restaurants in Japan don't do tips, at all. You'll get money thrown back at you if you try. Makes sense a sushi place wouldn't take tips.

I went to one of the colleges these types like to complain about, and every one of the Russian Studies and Politics profs was all "Stalin was the worst of the worst". Especially the ones who were Russian or Eastern European expats.

At least one of them was an advisor to the CIA during the Cold War.

I agree that the idea that undergrads are being trained as Marxist terrorists is crazy, but there is a bit if truth to this one in that a lot if people don't really know how awful Stalin or Mao were.

Also, here's the standard "those immigrants are taking our government subsidies" but Canadian:


This is especially stupid as the benefits they are taking about are on top of the Canadian pension plan, which is the plan you pay direct into with your taxes.

I don't remember if I saw any chance to tip sushi resturants when I was in NYC. But I still see a tip section on the receipt I sign whenever I'm ordering to go.

Hmm yes, senior citizens with a stipend AND a pension AND whatever savings they have from when they worked are a lot worse off than a refugee, who by definition is taking refuge from somewhere else and presumably has effectively nothing at all.

The "bit of truth" is that most people would answer "Hitler" without a second thought.

I doubt it's a threat or based on any actual information, it's more likely that that's just how he responds to everything now.

A relative of mine posted an image from "Uncle Sam's Misguided Children" that advocated killing Muslims. I had never heard of this page so I scrolled through it and oh my God...
There's a picture of a guy, who is black, who was caught on camera robbing and assaulting a woman in her home. One commenter suggests "a good ole fashioned lynching" and has 98 likes in 2 hours. Look, I don't condone violence and robbery, but holy poo poo really? And down the page there is a link to the video. A guy suggests shooting him because he is beyond rehabilitation. 7,193 likes in 8 hours.
For people who love the Constitution, they sure love throwing some of the amendments out. I feel really lovely about my family now too. Thanks Facebook.
