    mechanical spring type vending machines

    ...need to die in a horrible fire. They are antiquated pieces of shit that continue to linger on like to those damned dial indicator gas pumps with the blackjack style pull handle on the side. Neither will accept credit and so have to inconvenience the users by searching for someone to make change (which most will only do if you buy something) or by forcing you to prepay inside. The whole point of using a vending machine of any sort is so you don't have to deal with real people. Keeping both of these old ass relics just holds everyone back. They should go away with much speed, preferable into the Sun.

    Okinawa, Japan, Kadena AFB, Gate 2 street. Go see the banana show. I dunno why they call it the banana show though, that may have been the most tame part! That mama-san could squat on an unknown amount of coinage and then count it out to you like one of those change-makers the Sonic girls carry around. She'd say something along the lines of "how much", you'd stick your hand under there, and she would pop them out one at a time into your hand. One time to be a smart ass, we told her some high amount we didn't think would be in that particular stack, like $7.25, and she started counting that shit out, click, click, click, click, but then she swayed away from my hand, shot one out off to the side, said "That was a yen", and then continued counting up to precisely $7.25. I have never been that amazed at anything in my whole life. I don't think I'll ever be that amazed at anything until I die. Ya, I'm easily amused!

    Oh and since we want to complain about the government running roughshod over you by forcing you to pay for contraceptives against your will, why does your side already force myself and others to pay for fertility treatments for people on welfare? Tenncare does in fact pay for those who recieve it to get fertility treatments and pop out new welfare babies on the taxpayer's dime. In what world does that make fiscal sense? I have a hard time even finding the moral positive to it. In some screwed up way, it is right in the eyes of the Lord for that 16 year old girl that already has a meth habit to pop that child out and cause multiple lives to suffer instead of allowing her to have an abortion or even a free fucking rubber. And you already force me to pay for that! America is quid pro quo. We've been giving you the quo's so we want our fucking quids! Suck it up!

    Don't act like your side doesn't get equally onerous interpretations of law crammed down everyone's throat as well. This country is 100% quid pro quo, tit for tat, and all the rest. While we make people pay for things they aren't gonna use, you make us pay for you to tap all of our phones and buy the drones you'll use to make sure we're complying with whatever thing it is we said we wanted you to pay for. For whatever greedy fucking reason, one side can't just contribute to people who want contraceptives because somehow that gets bent into the weird idea that since they're paying for it, then everyone HAS to take them and they're gonna put a camera on your xbox to make sure you take them. The other side is just as ludicrous as the other! I see through your victim playing.

    Oh hogwash! There have been millions of families who have went thier entire lives avoiding pregnancy by using commonly available contraception methods. The entire point of a contraceptive is to "manage" the risk of getting pregnant. I am nitpicking here: you advocate prevention. If you prevent something from ocurring you avoided it entirely but if you manage something, you couldn't avoid it all so had to deal with it but hopefully managed to sway the outcome in a favorable manner. No contraceptive claims 100% effectiveness and most folks know that. It works fine for the overhwelming majority. The only 100% preventative cure for pregnancy is abstinance as you claim but there are many here on /. that will claim that even abstaining can't prevent all pregnancies.

    Capitalism accepts no excuses.

    You know I never thought of it like that but you are absolutely right. That's insightful there, thanks. It made me realize something that is insightful as well. You know who will accept an excuse, hardship, extenuating circumstances, and is just generally a more compassionate system? Socialism. Whenever capitalists dig their grave too deep to get back out of and capitalism stops accepting their excuses, they all come running to socialism to bail them out. And every single time, we invite the greedy fucks back into our homes and vaults, they take whatever they think they can get away with, and then turn around and try to kill the system that just saved them via legislation and all other types of general douchebag moves. In this context, people that tend towards liberal/socialist beliefs are battered women who keep on believing that the handsome and strong conservative capitalists aren't gonna keep beating them, even when historically they always have.

    Well since there is no such thing as a true Scotsman, I say there's no such thing as a "real" man. I also have the statistics to back me up (as in our high rate of gunshots, "accidents while cleaning", etc). For every one of your types who profess to be a responsible gun owner, there will be 5 who are literally running around with that thing sticking out from between their legs like a cock, smokin and jokin, showing all their boys how big of a man they are. You guys I don't worry about, it's those assholes.

    Oh and if I recall some of your past posts, didn't you fly helo's in the Army? You cannot possibly tell me that tearin shit up with the chain gun didn't get your rocks off! I had the opportunity to fire a real AT-4 anti-tank rocket one time (in boot camp you get the fake one), and when it blew that Bradley apart (empty of course) I had a hard on for a week! Just hanging on to an M60 is a rush unlike no other that I could go on for days about! Real men, do indeed, love to blow shit up. The smart men only do it when it is absolutely necessary.

    Hey that may have been a snide jab but it is, in fact, terribly annoying when the porn sites decide that they're gonna hijack the browser by appending their advert URL in front of the URL of the content you want but inevitably breaks the whole page, still somehow managing to do popup windows even though there is a blocker that is on, and doing whatever that refresh bullshit is that web pages do that stops you from going "back" but just reloading the page you're watching. The porn sites didn't learn this shit on their own either. Google started that crap and it now infects all of our websites.
