Yay! Just let that fester a bit before anyone notices… The information of the Secret Service and the CDC making rounds in the media… I don’t know what to think… Is this country really run by Morons? Is internet porn on the job that significant? DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING ANYMORE? :mad: ---

Well the last time I paid much attention to politics in person, they seemed to shake a lot of hands. Do they still do that? And as everyone knows ebola is transmitted by physical contact. ---

The answer the OP is looking for is, yes. Yes the internet porn on the job is that significant. Whatever the fuck that means. ESL + weed + booze is my vote for the reason behind this man’s nuttery. ---

Woah! In over 90% of fatal car crashes, at least every drivers had watched internet porn in the previous days and also worked. Significant? When our country is run by Mormons with Ebola?!?! Does anyone NOT have the Obama virus??? KANYE IS IN AFRICA pEOPLE!!! ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > The people making internet porn know what they’re doing. They’re churning out gigatons of the stuff, anyway, so they’ve at least figured out how to produce enough to meet demand maybe? Actually, from what I hear, they really don’t know what they are doing. The porn industry is in huge trouble because of all the free stuff out on the internet, which was supposed to induce us to sign up to pay for more of it, but we don’t need to, because so many competing sites are putting out different free samples (not to mention piracy). Porn profits are (or have been) falling precipitously, just like in the newspaper and music industries. Given the **OP** , however, I feel I maybe being a bit too coherent for this thread. How about electing some mormon porn stars with ebola to congress? They can’t be any worse! ---

congress does not have ebola (essential business of legislative action) because they are too busy accomplishing nothing. ---
