    It's like a shoplifter saying he paid for everything he bought or a groper claiming that his hand never left his arm.

    Maybe he's on a slow connection and waiting for all the 97 stories on the front page to load.

    I don't know which is more annoying, that or when they spread one article over a dozen pages.

  4. Re:Stop eating bush meat. on New Ebola Case Emerges In Sierra Leone (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    As for "bush meat" - in other countries, deer, pheasant and grouse are considered "fair game.

    Those animals aren't closely related to us. And while they can still transmit diseases, it's not even close to the risk level of cannibalism.

    The reason for doing it in general is self explanatory. The specifics frequently aren't.

    Clearly the blue-eyed bitches were insulting the prophet (PBUH) by dressing as decadent western whores.

    So, we probably agree that sexism, racism, and sexual harassment are still big problems in 2016.

    Where, specifically?

    So, how does this whole SJW thing work ... the world is divided into raging fanatics who want a nicer world, and assholes who want to preserve their right to act like assholes?

    Excluded middle aside, most SJWs want the right to act as much like assholes - or more so - than the people they perceive as assholes and whom they're attacking.

    Making a nicer world is largely a cover story.

    If you entice someone to do something with cash that they need or want, they are not volunteering

    Wrong. In an army, volunteers generally means those who are not conscripts. But both get paid.

    If people aren't doing it for the money, then why do they get paid?

    You may want to google for terms like "false dichotomy".

    Has anyone else been having problems with pootube recently? Not showing the time correctly (so you can't jump to a specific time) - that's if it doesn't spin for a minute and then show "an error occurred[1]".

    And this is with things I've bookmarked previously, so I'm pretty sure they used to work.
