I know a guy who sincerely believes that if an illegal Mexican goes to the government (idk if it's a building or a person or what because he's never more specific than just the government) they are immediately given full health coverage and keys to some place to live and some money.

IIRC, Maddox posted here before starting his website and got banned because his schtick isn't a gimmick, he's really that much of a narcissistic rear end. That honestly kind of makes it funnier.

That's mostly good but his last example doesn't really work. The testability of a hypothesis in principle is a vital part of the scientific process, but the ability or inability of someone to test it in practice has no bearing on anything.

I don't care if you are homosexual, lesbian, transgender, transsexual, transalien, or transfat. I really don't. I'll feel sorry for you. I'll say a prayer for you. I'll wish you well and move on down the road. What does frost me is the companies that pander to you and threaten to pull their businesses from Georgia and North Carolina for trying to uphold Christian values in their legislation. The tail is wagging the dog. Not only wagging it, but trying to shake the hair completely off of it. 3% or less of the population trying to dictate how things should be for the 97% of us regular folks. Yeah I said it, regular folks. Just like we've been for a couple thousand years or more. How about take some personal responsibility. Take the $6 you spent on your venom spewing protest sign and start a Go Fund me page, and use the money to build your own damned bathrooms. Label them "No herterosexuals allowed". I sincerely doubt you'll see anyone protesting, holding signs, begging to use it or demonstrating that we are being discriminated against. We even promise not to use it, and not compromise your dignity, unless we have to pee really really bad, then all bets are off. If you find this offensive, let me know. I'll say a prayer for you too.

Companies only care about profits. That's it. They don't make a profit, they are no longer a company. They could care less about inclusiveness except how it may affect their bottom line. Whatever the cause celeb is, if they think it will make them a buck, they run with it. Today it's transgender. Tomorrow it may be equal rights for dolphins and chimpanzees.

A lot of parents seem to feel like their kids owe them for giving them a positive existence, so they can use the "I've given you a roof over your head and food on the table!" as an excuse for not really treating them any nicer than that.

Like, congratulations on doing the bare minimum necessary to avoid having your kids taken away by CPS? If anything, you owe your kids. They didn't ask to be put into this world. You brought them into it.

I work in a clinical lab and part of my job is checking people in for blood work etc. A woman brought her 5 year old in for some tests and the little girl was very apprehensive about the process of having a needle stuck in her arm, etc. What were the mother's words of comfort for her child?

"You know, there are children who don't have any access to health care and they just get sick and die. You should be grateful. Now stop whining. We need to get this done. I have a lot of errands to run today." And yes, her tone of voice is exactly how you'd imagine it.

Then she looks at me and just shakes her head like "Kids, amirite?" :(

Also ask them to google the right statistics because those numbers aren't even close to being right. In fact, mass shootings started their spike after 2000, which is when Obama took office if I remember correctly.

They started the infographic with a president who had been shot. It makes it look like people switched from shooting at presidents to shooting at children. And there were 11 shot during Reagan's time. Why not start further back where the count is 0?

I've had people ask me - in front of their kids - if I have kids, and when I say no, they say "Well don't have any! They're a pain in the rear end!" or similar sentiments. This has happened several times.

Luckily our phlebotomists are good with kids. But it would be nice if the parents would actually work with us goddammit to make the experience less traumatic. <:mad:>

Also, guilting kids who don't understand that poo poo is a great way to give them self-esteem issues when they get older. That's okay though, they're just the little poo poo you have to drag around that interferes with your real life. <3
