rapits and/or married/commited relationship men who started off normal then started questioning their lives, spending time on reddit, saw some of the less egregious MRA stuff, got comfortable with it, gradually seeking out more of the MRA/redpill stuff until they felt it represented their opinions wholeheartedly, the hypothetical frog in boiling water, a divorce happened somewhere along the way, and it was the woman's fault

Ben Carson knows more than all the historians and archaeologists of the world. Joseph built the pyramids, not the Egyptians, and he did it to store grain, not to entomb pharaohs.
Why are Pyramids full of complex masonry and not large hollow chambers? Uh, because it has to be hermetically sealed, duh.

lol he didn't even bother to read the bible properly

Genesis 41, 48-49 posted:

Joseph collected all the food produced in those seven years of abundance in Egypt and stored it in the cities. In each city he put the food grown in the fields surrounding it. Joseph stored up huge quantities of grain, like the sand of the sea; it was so much that he stopped keeping records because it was beyond measure.

Get ready for teh wacky laughz0r!

quote:

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. Could not be any simpler than that. (Please pass this on) These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Not the fact that Sisi's government has a nasty habit of accidentally bombing tourists? Or that your tourist dollars would prop up an authoritarian regime? But the fact that there's a pizza hut nearish to the pyramids.

For the first fews years this troper spent in America, women consistently fell for him because they -thought- his unusually large kippah was worn just to break rules, that his stoic demeanor came from angst, rather than poor english, and that, since he trained in Krav Maga, he would beat up anyone for no reason. Two years ago, when they learned that he was reluctant to fight, kept a garden and spent more time in Synagogues than in his own home, he suddenly became gay and unattractive - coincidence?

Yeah pretty much



Instead of just being a coaster on your head it actually has sides, but pretty much a thin beanie yeah.

I can't imagine wearing one of those and thinking you look like a bad boy rebel. I'm guessing he goes to a school with a "no hats" policy but he can wear the kippah because of religious reasons, so he's "breaking the law" like a rebel, but come the gently caress on guy.

I had to go to a meeting today where a guy told everyone his son was very well-disciplined When the boy did something very bad, he took his own laptop(which he paid for by mowing lawns and doing chores) and threw it in the garbage. I'm not sure what the point was, I guess he was proud of his son for punishing himself? It was really dumb and the guy was really proud of himself for being such a good father.
