People like the OP’s cousin are a financial opportunity. Make a wager with them on what they believe are likely scenerios. If that does not work, create a contract for future services. For instance, if a person believes the rapture is nigh, offer to take care of their pets for a small (several hundred dollar) fee paid in advance. Obama gonna size guns before November? Offer to store a few for 50 bucks a month per gun. There are many more examples easily thought of. If the cousin truly has the courage of his covictions, he will put his money where his mouth is.
He doesn’t meet U.S. standards either. If only we could get rid of that “if you were born here, you’re one of us” thing…make everyone pass the same citizenship test that foreigners do. Instead of a high school diploma, you get citizenship papers or deportation papers…
Hmmm, I may be onto something. 
Is your shift key broken?
Also, what is a “socially one aware one”? :dubious:
Yeah, but where do we ship the stupid ones?
Maybe we could tell everybody they were “going away to live on a farm upstate.” Then recycle them into dog food.
It’s a typo, you stupid dumbfuck.
Even a senile old man like me could figure it out.
Or are you trying to prove some non-existent point?
sorry i couldn’t edit my last post because when those auto loaded ads comes on it freezes up the site for me
Yes, please. OP: Write it on his forehead so he doesn’t forget. I doubt that he’s allowed to have a passport but gently take it away from him if he does. We only accept Muslims now, anyway.
That’s another thing. OP: Tell your cousin that Trudeau already suspended elections in Canada and has taken the title “Grand Ayatollah”, and whatever the rest of that babble in the OP was, we already do it all. Tell him how great Mexico is.
I’ve been listening to Ron Chernow’s Alexander Hamilton, and I was surprised at how far back that sort of thing went. I’d known that John Adams had been accused of wanting to bring back monarchy, but I hadn’t realized that George Washington had as well.
Apparently, the done thing at the time was to accuse anyone who called you a Monarchist of being a Jacobin. And both the Federalists (the executive should run the country, let the legislature stick to lawmaking) and the Republicans (the legislature should run the country, let the executive stick to bookkeeping) accused the other of conspiring to destroy the constitution.
Seems like accusing anyone you don’t agree with of working to destroy America is as American as a good dose of nutmeg in your hasty pudding.
How much traction do you think you’d get from calling your cousin a Jacobin?
What’s his or her excuse for the lack of capitalization? They can’t all be typos.
so true
What’s your excuse for your general weenieness?
Worked for ee cummings.
You’re such a stupid fucking twatknuckle. Do you ever do anything besides troll the Pit, looking for some little typographical error or grammar faux pas to bitch about, all the while playing innocent? MUST you be contrarian about everything, all the time?
I wonder if he has a newsletter that I could subscribe to.
God, you are a fucking tool. You must really get off on the abuse you get every time you post.
It’s the only sex life he has.
At this point, it wouldn’t surprise me if his dog walked out of the room backwards.
Shave the dog’s ass and put a pair of glasses on top of it, and he’d look exactly like D’Anconia.
How did you know he wears glasses?
D’Anconia, you probably don’t realize it, but you are outing yourself as nightshadea’s cousin.
Well sure but people are impressed now because pamphleteering sort of got shoved off to a corner of insignificance during the age of the big newspaper empires and Fairness Doctrine broadcasting. For a while there in the mid 20th Century they would just stand in a park corner passing out mimeographed sheets and everybody would assume it was just the town crank. 'Twas the interwebs tubes and Talk Radio that revealed that there were still millions of cranks in every block in every town.
Even then, the old time libelous pamphleteers did have a way to come across more erudite than all but our best bloggers and AM talking heads, didn’t they? I blame the loss of education in the Classics. Hamilton, Burr, Clay, Calhoun, etc. could insult each other’s policies and mothers quoting Plato and Cicero and Procopius. We, we’ve got Glenn Fucking Beck and Alex Goddamn Jones. Sad.
(and looking at the article on Jacobins… ok so were they or New Hampshire that had the slogan first? At the least the Jacobins were aggressively active about the “or die” part…)
