There's an hour-long video in there as well that I didn't watch, but the short video is a documentary of a woman talking to people at a single protest. The marchers are chanting "UK go to hell, British police go to hell" and she confronts a few of them who tell her she's wrong for not being Muslim, and that Islam requires they convert the land to their way of life. And then she's a little sad at the end. Also that she's naked and trying to seduce someone.

There are plenty of places in the United States where religious extremists will tell you you need to convert or go to hell, they're called Georgia.

That you even need to be piss tested for a job that isn't involving heavy machinery or highly super duper top secret stuff is bullshit in the first place. But I'm trying to argue with a 3 year old macro, so whatever.

The average american has about $36 of their yearly taxes going towards welfare. Cutting it in half would save them a staggering 18 dollars a year. Sure, the 100 million people on welfare might not be able to afford food anymore, but just imagine the boost the economy would receive after he spends that $18! I, for one, cannot wait to spent my $18 dollars on something useful like a new T-shirt or McDonalds.

As if cutting welfare would even give people the money back, it'd just go to something else people won't appreciate.

The Daily Show's bit on that a little while back was great. Asif Mandvi handed the governor a cup at a press conference and asked if he'd pee in it, because his salary also comes from taxpayers.

Usually I don't get a whole bunch of bullshit on my feed, but that CNN iReport concerning 'Fraud at the CDC' has brought some sleeper anti-vax friends out of the woodwork. The report if anyone is interested. CNN's note at the top of the article: quote:CNN PRODUCER NOTE CNN iReport is the network’s user-generated news community. This story, which is about a study from Dr. Brian Hooker about the alleged link between vaccines and autism, was initially pulled for further review after it was flagged by the community. CNN has reached out to the CDC for comment and is working to confirm the claims in this iReport. Anyway, as a response to that article my apparently anti-vax friend posted, another friend (who's a pharmacist) posted this picture which I found hysterical:

It was yesterday and I did exactly that, as well as linking to the one from Tennessee. All he did was talk about how the tests aren't reliable because "everyone can pass a scheduled drug test when money is involved," and those who passed the tests just weren't showing up positive because of that. He also claimed he knew a guy who took a drug test within 24 hours of doing a bunch of drugs and he came up clean while citing that 90% of the people he knew on welfare were also on drugs.  I just gave up on him.

The other usual counter argument I've seen is that it doesn't matter if it's a waste of money it's the principle that matters, the principle being people who claim welfare should be punished and humiliated I guess.

My favorite argument for "the principle" I've heard is "If I can't get hosed up when I bust my rear end, why do they deserve to get hosed up while they don't even have a job?" Not coincidentally, I've heard this most from ex-stoners.

People literally feel happiness based on their status compared to those around them.

canyoneer posted:It's fitting that some of the oil is named "thieves" The best part is that thieves oil is basically a snake oil. Back when people though diseases were caused by bad smells or "miasma" Thieves Oil was the name given to blends of essential oils and herbs that grave robbers would smear on their noses to protected them while they looted the bodies of people who had died/were almost dead from the plague. Because of this people ascribe all kinds of antiseptic properties to it, even though 99% of them involve the fact that it's made with grain alcohol and clove oil and not any magical special powers unheard of to science.

Unless these are baby boomers who used cannabis in the '60s and aren't adjusting for inflation, and saying the modern stuff's much stronger and they'd never touch it of course

Wasn't there some survey/study/whatever done and it showed that a rather insignificant amount of people on welfare are actually using drugs? I recall hearing it was one in 850 or something along those lines but I could be off there. A lot of times people bitching about welfare, etc is just thinly veiled racism and people just wishing they could make it illegal to be anything other than white in 'merica.

There was a study which put the percentage at around 20% recipients of welfare reported some drug use within a year. What you are probably thinking about is when Tennessee(I think) started testing welfare recipients for drugs, only like 2% of recipients tested positive.

Yeah, the latter of the two sounds like what I was thinking of. I just recall so many people thinking that 90% of all the poors did drugs and it turned out so obscenely wrong all they could do was shut up.

Some local businessperson shared a person of a drunk first nations person on Facebook and now it's spreading like wildfire with a lot of racist comments, FN is a big part of my heritage and even if I try to engage in thoughtful discussions surrounding social issues and why that photo isn't funny, I know I'll get dogpiled on Like, even if people say "it would be funny if it was a white person too!", it's still a pretty sad picture at someone at a very low point.

An axe-wielding maniac attacks a random citizen, hacking away at their legs. The citizen panics, screaming and flailing until a good Samaritan shows up to try and help. Whereby the victim then pulls a weapon of their own out and attacks the good Samaritan. Completely ignoring the cause of the problem and instead bringing someone else down. Alternatively, and less stupidly written, all of these people are Stinkmeaner and would prefer everybody else's live to also be poo poo.
