I am a top official at a major American software manufacturer who is interested in exportation of our goods into your fine country. We need to move several shiploads of our product into your nation, and are willing to cut you a generous percentage of the profits. Please respond as soon as possible.
I don't have any problem with sex. In fact, I have more since realizing love was for shit than before.
People use the concept of having love as a weapon to hurt others. Didn't say the weapon had any validity, just that people use it that way. See one of the other responses for a prime example of it. The poster defended love by thinking to lord it over me that he had it and I didn't. Typical. Mind numbingly, wearingly typical.
Nope. I'm 6' 3", 200 pounds and in very good shape. I have a successful career and make way too much money.
Leave the profiling to the FBI, Sparky.
And you prove my point that love is something people use to try and make others feel like shit. You couldn't just defend love, you had to use it to attack me personally. See what I mean?
It's something we make up to excuse our lust, or as a reason to hang around with someone rather than be lonely. It's infatuation masquerading as something greater. It's obsession pretending to be something beautiful. It's so companies can peddle cards and flowers and diamonds and whatnot. It's so people can sit around and feel better than others. It's a weapon of mass destruction, and used every day to try and make those immune to it's fetid embrace feel like shit. It's a thin layer of brittle spackle of the gaping voids in all your lives.
Yeah, yeah... flamebait. You mod me down because you know I speak the hard truth.
Depends on where you work. I do satcom work for a major aerospace outfit, and they regularly put out a call for "pie in the sky" (but reasonable) ideas, and the top ides get $50K in seed money. They even encourage going outside the company to involve universities and small startups as long as we don't reveal any critical IP.
But seriously, I support any Draconian law that makes countries (other than the USA) even more fascist because it's, like, really funny.:D Sorry, but I *am* a misanthrope.
Or were you talking about the guy from Akira? No, that was Kaneda. Never mind.
I was walking to the mailbox two weeks ago to drop in some Netflix envelopes, and a random guy on the street saw them and said, "Isn't that the best thing in the world?" That's the third time it happened this year. I think everyone on my street is on Netflix.
I'm always puzzled by this. There's probably a wider variety of music available today than at any time in history. Just last week I ran across some really great new progressive stuff out of Holland. You just need to look beyond the top 40 lists. Most of the new stuff I listen to will probably never be played by any radio station anywhere. You just have to look for it. Gosh, if only there were some sort of tool for that. Like some sort of international network or something.;-)
Spending hundreds of hours being a face to investors
Well, crap, I could do that, although my face might scare them away. Maybe I could hire myself out as a poison pill for companies fighting hostile takeovers.
Why would you trust such an important part of the internet infrastructure to a country that is constantly waging wars of aggression, commiting war-crimes and betraying it's allies? Right, you wouldn't
So you're saying that Europe, with its multi-THOUSAND year history of such things, should not be trusted?:)

I dunno. I get a "danger will robinson" reaction to that thought, and my tail gets all bushy.
We're already so divided and conquered and fractured. Specialized dating sites may cause all the politico/ideologico groups to start exclusively inbreeding until we're just a disconnected sea of tribes that don't even speak the same language.
Besides, isn't "black female conservative christian libertarian daughter of a sharecropper" your own version of a pigeon hole?
You're the second person to say that, and it shows a general lack of understand by people of the use of the term.
All I listed was either physical parameters or broad outlines of her *self* *professed* ideological leanings.
Pigeon holing would be when some media whore or policy wonk takes just one of those parameters and tries to project her views from that one thing. A pigeon hole is a tiny little box with a single label. You savvy?

And so on...
Not sure when my citizenship switched to Nigera.
Probably the same night I got that tattoo.
On my ass.

EOM
I don't think so. Irony usually involves the use of opposites. It would be irony if I used the handle "HappyHappyJoyJoy" or something.
Been there, done that, yada yada. I'll stick with whores. Cheaper, and more fun to be with.
Too much work? How about I adopt a stray outdoor cat?
Yeah, yeah... flamebait. You mod me down because you know I speak the hard truth.
And the global mean from 1950 to 1990? Why those years? Did they happen to give the result the author wanted?
They are playing a numbers racket with you, people. As geeks you should see right through this stufff. For shame.

"Mein Gott! That is hot!"
"Space Guy!" for the men and "Space Babe!" for the women.
There. You happy now?
I know I am.
Is that they country that officially sanctioned a talking dog puppet? Because the talking dog puppet said something that hurt their feelings?

They can just snip those off in an outpatient procedure now.

Almost identical setup here, but a 15" Powerbook I'm using wirelessly via Airport.
In bed.
And I'm not wearing pants.
Seriously. Just about to turn the lights off and sleep.

I'm being silly, but only a little.
Is that a Gameboy Micro in your pants, or are you just-
Wait a second...
This was easy... a little... *too* easy...
(looks around and backs away slowly)
Gah! It's a trap!
