So, if you get stung by a bee and your throat slams shut, don't use an epipen. That's just god's way of telling you to take better care of yourself, man.

Darkhold posted:I know you are joking but it's amusing to tell these people that we've been diagnosing cancer since about 1600 B.C. It's not something caused by our modern lifestyle. Considering these are the same people who insist that alternative medicine's the true medicine since modern medicine's only been around for a hundred years, they're only going to listen to what fits their romanticized pre-industrial ideal. As my Mom was big on saying about the hippy/holistic types she knew who'd flock to the communes to live pure off the land, once they realized what it was like living without modern plumbing, they gave up the lifestyle.

An aspiring comedian I went to college with posted an eyeroller of a joke about Germany following their World Cup drubbing of Brazil. Stupidity ensued. I don't have social fixer so I apologize for the crappy format.  90 people like this. Some key exchanges: OP: "I'll be honest: I don't care. If you have nothing better to do but troll statuses and post how offended you are, I can't find it in me to care. You think I'm some idiot trying to get a laugh from a joke, then yes you're right. That's all I am, a joker. By the way what was that thing, "Back to Back World War Champs...If you honestly think that I think that all Germans are nazis, then you could not be more wrong. Sorry I put off this air of being a raging ignorant racist." Angry person: "Dude... You can't say you want things politically correct and then write things like that. No one is "trolling your statuses" I'm sure that the people who commented are like myself, saw your pun and found it offensive." OP: "Actually of course I can because of the first amendment. I acn be incredibly insightful and be intelligent because that's who I am, but I am also a comedian. I separate the two. You'll know when I'm serious I promise." --- OP: "First things first, this is a riveting discussion I actually am beginning to enjoy this. Second, I am not apologising for this post. This is a joke. I promise if a better comedian made this joke, it would be great but for some reason I made it and it became a whole thing. I'm sorry if you're offended but it is a dumb play on words. The dumbest play on words. There are worse things to be mad about." --- A series of morons arrive. Moron 1: "Say what you want man if people are offended who cares they have every right to be doesn't mean you can't say what you want and honestly it was just a joke if you can't handle those what are you doing using the internet" Moron 2: "There is no true reason why any of you above should be offended. Were any of you directly affected by the nazis? Are any of you German? It's a stupid little joke. One of those ha ha moments. I guarantee you all have heard and/or said something way worse than this but you weren't complaining because you thought it was funny.. Dumb trolls." Moron 3: "this is funny as hell hahaha perfect wordplay... anyone who cant take a little racial humor must really hate life racist jokes are the best jokes.. but real racism is not funny in anyway and no im not racist lol" Obligatory SJW post that means well but is really just weird here: "hey guys! I super understand why some of you are offended, but I just wanted to drop by and say something to those of you suggesting that one can compare a joke about Nazi Germany to racist, ableist, islamophobic, etc. jokes. The Nazi comment may be hurtful, but those who are affected by it are not in the same unique positions as many other minorities are. Anyone who thinks that is comparing apples to oranges. Just a thought!" Moron 2: "The way I see it is like this, if you are not directly impacted by something than you shouldn't really say much. ie: even if you are of German nationality you shouldn't get offended for the simple fact that you didn't go through the nazi times. Just like how black people today can't complain about slavery when they themselves were actually never slaves or were around were slavery still existed. Take it how you wish. Just my opinion." Moron 4: "The fact that people find this offensive is just sad. We are well past World War II and none of you commenting on this were even alive at the time. If you can't appreciate the fact that this is a funny pun on words then don't bother commenting. Seriously people stop hating on [original poster] and find something more productive to do" --- Then a German friend of his posted on his wall about how offended they were, and his apology was this (it should be noted that he is a black Muslim). "I know we are both third culture kids, and I know that things aren't easy, but I cannot step off from this. It is a terrible joke, like terrible and I'm sorry it offended you. Everything is down to interpretation. You took it as a hateful attack, I wrote it as a play on the words "not see." The status isn't meant to be me thinking all Germans are Nazis, or that Germany made a Nazi attack against Brazil, it is supposed to be a lame joke, which is what it is. I promise I've heard bad things about Germans and Africans and even being a Muslim, but I take everything and look past the words. I'm sorry it cut you so deep." Personally I was offended because I hate lovely jokes more than their implications.

I would say that it appears to have started around the time of Ron Paul's 2008 campaign. Back then a lot of people on forums and image boards elevated him to a sort of meme, but some people started taking it seriously and probably got into Ayn Rand and then got worse from there.

That, and he backs internet privacy and weed legalization. I think there's always been a significant nerd-libertarian contingent but I bet a lot of people saw that kind of Ron Paul stuff on Facebook and 4chan then decided to learn more about the guy and fell for the economic side of it.

Well, lovely. A guy I considered a good friend back in high school liked this lovely bit from "the Mens Rights Initiative".  I tried posting this rebuttal to someone else in the comment thread, but I've got the sneaking suspicion I've been blocked. quote:To be blunt about it, I agree in the sense that we should be treating all forms of rape as the horrible act that it is. I agree that society has stigmatized male victims of it in particular. However, my issue with MRAs is that they mis-blame the underlying root cause for that stigma. Instead of looking at the patriarchal society we've constructed that affects BOTH genders negatively (I.E. the expectation that a man must be stoic at all times, must be as virile and promiscuous with women, etc.), they go after feminism under the mislead belief that mainstream feminism wants to "get revenge" for the history of oppression of women by disenfranchising men. The reality is that mainstream feminism today is focused on combating those negative societal expectations to bring a semblance of equality between both genders.

That's because every single radio station (in the USA, at least) subscribes to one or two of a handful of services that fax (lol) or email them each morning a combination of stale jokes you expect to hear from old men in checkered golf pants, and moderately topical (but still stale) jokes about semi-current events.

After moving to a different country, I started hanging out with some of my girlfriend's coworkers. After a couple of times, one of them shows me a web page about this weird inscribed stone in the middle of nowhere, Alabama and how Freemasons control everything. I chuckle and say something like "yeah, the Illuminati suck"; then some other guy shows up and the "esoteric stone" topic is immediately dropped. Since this person looks like a regular, balanced human being I archive the conversation under "this guys is funny", thinking that he just showed me a random snippet of insanity he has found on the internet to share a laugh with me. A couple of days later, I get a facebook friend request from said guy and I, of course, accept it; then I take a look at his front page and it's choke full of shares from Chemtrails Global Skywatch https://www.facebook.com/groups/globalskywatch/ and comments about big pharma wanting you dead. EDIT: best part is, I've just clicked on the chemtrail fb group link and the second topmost comment is from a member, stating: quote:my head might explode. I need to get away from all the 9-11 conspiracy, the RFID chips, fluoride, gmo's, the pope, the queen, and all the rest of it quote:I read all these comments. Glad to kno I'm not alone. I've been Ken on what's Goin on for 8 years now. I think taking a break is good sometimes, but what really frustrates me is that with all we kno not much is being done. I mean I want to do something but we are so few and spread out I feel lost in this mess at times. It does go way beyond chemtrails, and is hard to enjoy technology when u see it all for what it is. drat symbols and numbers everywhere. Using the methods they use we are quite powerless. We should also find methods to disrupt this viscous cycle  That Italian Guy has a new favorite as of 13:26 on Jul 9, 2014 |

Man, I'm lucky the radio station I listen to mainly posts news stories about music on Facebook. It's a pretty atypical station though in that it still produces all of its own shows, some of which have been running for 30 years with the same DJ.

Do billboards count as social media? Because I get to pass two of these on my daily commute: Please, won't someone think of the multi-billion dollar military contractor who makes planes that can't fly in the rain. Barr is a special kind of idiot. He's sued Clinton for emotional distress, ran for President as a Libertarian, and once accidentally discharged a firearm at a NRA event.
