They seem like a bunch of pussies to me, wanting to invent new technology to destroy only humans. I say we use off-the-shelf technology and get the job done.
Shhh! That’s just so we can sucker the Grenie weenes out of their money! Nuclear weapons don’t exactly grow on trees, you know.
It was the wrangling over who got possession of the tiaras that kept it on the front page for so long, I think.*
*Yes, now I know I am going to hell.
Americans are FAT.
Brits are FAT
Aussies are FAT
Canadians are FAT
OMFG EVERYBODY IS FAT!
No shit, sherlock.
Oh, there’s much simpler and cheaper ways to get it done. If you can get the president of France to insult the President’s dad, poof, there goes Europe. And after that, any country that raises a protest, because if they’re not with us, they’re agin’ us.
The only thing I haven’t figured out yet is how to get GB to nuke Texas – but sooner or later they’ll all execute each other, so no biggie.
I’m not fat - I’m big-boned.
Terrorism
[Gilligan] Yeah, and they’re covered with big meat. [/Gilligan]
Speaking of things I don’t give a rats ass about…
The science is ify and contested, there are just as many studies saying that it’s not a problem as it is, and there’s fuck all we can do about it in the first world anyway, yet it’s constantly paraded out at us by the liberals in an attempt to scare us to death, omigodwe’reallgonnadie! It’s a liberal version of “OMG there’s a war on Xmas!” or “They’re trying to outlaw Jeeeezus!”, designed to panic the ecotards into unthinking support for liberal politicians.
Without a doubt. What the worst one, in my opinion, was the hilariously out-of-place panic regarding the fact that there are more overweight people in the world than malnourished ones. Here’s a typical sample:
OMG! The vast swath of humanity is no longer starving!! Teh horror!!!
As somebody who grew up with the Club of Rome, the population explosion, and the ensuing “Die-Off Due To Lack of Food”, I find the attitude expressed above… puzzling, to say the least. Imho, only somebody who has never been truly hungry can call too much food a “pandemic”.
[sigh] Weirddave, why don’t you have a peek into this thread, or this one. Or even this one. In sum: For the most part, anthropogenic-climate-change skepticism nowadays is the work of, well, not to put too fine a point on it, liars. Not even cranks. Liars. Corporate whores. Astroturf groups, funded by the fossil-fuel companies, pretending to be scientific foundations.
Assuming you give a rat’s ass.
Except for the anorexic celebrities.
I’m tired of the cute couple names, Brangelina and TomKat, I’m tired of the cute couples. I’m tired of the “baby bump” speculation. OMG, Angelina had a baby two months ago and she has a bump, she must be pregnant again! I know the media must be spoiled by the celebrities who have babies and two months later are magically thin again and modeling for Victoria’s Secret but c’mon they are supposedly human and maybe once in a while one of them won’t bother to hire a nanny to care for their kid while they work out 12 hours a day with their personal trainer and only eat what their personal chefs prepare - sometimes the bump is just the leftover fat from the baby they just had! Oh yeah, and I am tired of the term “baby bump” it sounds like a disease.
I’m tired of all the celebrities, Paris, Britney, Lindsey, Angelina, Madonna, Tom, Anna Nicole … gee, the only one mentioned I’m not tired of (yet) is Reba McIntyre.
You heartless swine!
Here’s what what I don’t give a big ol’ hairy R’s A about?
“There have been unconfirmed reports that…” “We’ve heard speculation as to…” “CNN is reporting that…”
It was rampant on 9/11 The Indian Ocean Tsunami, Katrina, etc. Any time that a network decides it needs to have full time coverage of the current “big event” yet the actual news trickling in from the scene is only just sufficient to fill two minutes per hour.
Really, truly, honestly, I couldn’t give a flying fuck what rumor you might have been privy to.
If you don’t have facts to report, please don’t fucking report. That is all.
My local (DC) newscasts win the award from me, hands down!
Every freaking night I get something along these lines;
“A common household item can cause death, join us at 11!”
“Are you dying? Tips to find out at 11!”
“A murderous rampage in a suburban neighborhood, we’ll tell you were and what to do at 11!”
Fuck you all. The real world news is depressing and interesting enough without some local fuckwits trying to spice up viewership by touting senstionalistic crap that in the end, was actually nothing. Everytime I see the news spots, I cant help but feel sorry for the poor 65 year old grandma sitting at home scared to death until 11, then come to find out the murderous rampage was in a Chicago suburb not in DC…

You know what’s funny about that? That we could invent much, much better (and funnier) rumours here on The Dope without even breaking a sweat. Amateurs.
Using logic with Weirddave is like throwing M&Ms into the Grand Canyon.
Actually, logic works quite well with me. My problem is that I expect my logic to be based upon facts, while those of your ilk embrace “logic” based upon innuendo and speculation as long at it agrees with your preconceived notions and provides ample grass to feed your sacred cows.
I don’t give a rat’s ass about
Anything to do with PETA
Any conflicts about placements of the 10 commandments or manger scenes, etc. on public or semi-public grounds
Efforts to remove books from school libraries or reading lists The Academy Awards, the Emmy Awards, the Country Music Awards, the Tony Awards, etc.
