Forgot one.
Both old people and young people tend to drive poorly, but young people will improve with time.
I love this thread! I’m printing it out to give to my kids when they turn 18. Love Anthracite’s thoughts on weight loss!
It’s about quality of life, not quantity.
That people live long enough to get cancer is a testament to modern medicine.
There were never any ‘good old days.’
No matter what stage in life, you’ll always notice the problems.
You can change people. It’s called Marriage.
Eating meat makes you stronger and smarter, especially if you catch it.
Even Monestaries have Politics.
Hear, frikkin’ hear!
ARG! The magical post eating fairy strikes again.

Most uppity/stuck up people calm down after a good fuck.
Friends is really not very funny
Britain’s gun laws havn’t worked
All the dickheads have girlfriends, why don’t i? Do i have to behave like a dickhead to get a girlfriend?
WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE!!!
“People who drive SUVs are-” THWACK!
HEY! Who threw that!?
While the quality of life has improved dramatically over the years, society has seen an intelectual decline.
The Catholic Church has known for a long time celebacy for priest is a bad idea – they just don’t know how to change policy while “saving face” at the same time.
Unless you are going to be an engineer, accountant, or some other math intense profession, most math taught to pre-college students is a waste of time.
The alcohol industry are the luckiest people in the world – they cause the same, if not more harm than the tobacco industry – but get far less grief.
Steven Speilberg isn’t that great of a director, neither is Ron Howard – they just were fortunate enough to be hyped as such.
Madonna now uses a fake British accent – why doesn’t anyone tell her she sounds foolish?
Politicans are hot to stop people from talking on cell phones while driving – why not every other thing people do while driving like eating, drinking, applying makeup, playing with the radio dial, etc?
The Rush Limbaugh show is some boring radio – regardless of his political persuassion. I think his ratings are so high because he is the only show on the AM dial in the afternoon.
There is a big push to stop telemarkers from “targeting the elderly” Isn’t this really a backhanded way of saying that elderly people are losing thier mental facilities and are easily conned?
If you are so handicapped that you need a special parking space because the extra walking would be a tremendous burden – why are you driving in the first place?
“Money CAN buy happiness.”
“Doctors working long hours are making mistakes and killing people.”
“Microsoft and Bill Gates have increased office productivity inspite of the whining and law suits.”
“Good looking people are more fun to work with.”
“Women will always get a raw deal in life/work/whatever from men.”
“Baseball players deserve to be greedy for what they do for a living.”
“Trent Green of the Chiefs wasn’t worth a 1st round draft choice in a trade.”
-Criminals are NOT misunderstood people-they are very, very bad people!
-“Rev.” Jesse Jackson is an extortionist

Life isn’t fair, it never has been, and never will be.
-
“It” will never be enough-- whatever “It” you are wanting. I think greed is evolutionary in nature. The greediest of the tribe mated the most, or got the most opportunities. Whatever the reason, greed, envy and desire seem to be inevitable regardless of socio-economic status.

Survival of the Fittest is no longer the case for Homo Sapiens as a species. It remains unclear what this means for that species over a thousand year period.

Nobody thinks they are stupid, annoying or at fault deep in their heart. Even if they admit it, they don’t really believe it, and resent the accusuation no matter how accurate.

“We all got it comin’ kid.”
Jon Stewart is an annoying unfunny, untalented twit, though Craig Kilborn isn’t much better.
Debating abortion is utterly pointless, and just leaves everyone upset. Same goes for religion, gun control, and the death penalty.
The only easy solution to overpopulation is mass death.
Because of America’s nervousness about terrorism, we will likely not have another attack for decades.
Believe it or not, not every human trait can be traced to our evolutionary roots. Nor can said traits be neatly categorized as the product of “nature” or “nurture”. We humans are perfectly capable of coming up with the concept of “right bastard” all on our own, just as we can come up with concepts like “true love”. We are more than our genes.
There are times, in moments of weakness, when I think Herbert Spencer was right.
America shouldn’t be so damn cocky to feel like we are the best at everything, and therefore should be able to get away with whatever the hell we feel like. We’re not. All empires fall, and we are on numbered days.
Baseball is the stupidest sport ever.
The idea that our country is still a democracy is a sham. Our opinions haven’t made a difference in the past 15 years, nor will they make a difference in the future 15 years.
The reason we were attacked is not because they are jealous, it is because we are snide assholes who deserved it.
Convenient patriotism is illogical. If you weren’t proud enough of your country to plaster flags on every untained surface in sight before somebody flew a plane into a building, you have no reason to now.
90% of the people you encounter on a daily basis deserve to be euthanized for their absolute stupidity.
In some cases, murder should not be a crime. If somebody rapes your little girl, it is ethically and morally okay in my opinion for you to unload your pistol into his head.
israel and palestine wil always be fighting each other as long as they are both around!!! and thats a fact!!!
people will be fighting each other as long as there is religion
young britons dont care about religion
there is an existance after physical death
There’s true evil, yes, but it’s as rare as true virtue. What is so much more common is a subtle, insidious blackening of the soul, as people pursue either noble, un-thought-out goals, or simply seek to better themselves. People are called upon to make sacrifice after sacrifice. They permit little crimes, and bigger ones occur. The reason that the world is not a utopia is because people are selfish, lazy bastards.
Oh yes, one more, since a_gherkin reminded me:
There will never be peace in the Middle East. When the human race has gone extinct, and all that’s left in the Middle East are bacteria, the bacteria will be fighting each other.
And -
“Throwing away Gannon while keeping Bono shows once and for all that Schottenheimer was a raving lunatic, and all the fans that blindly kowtowed to him should be horse-whipped. Oh yeah - there was that whole Nick Lowry thing too…yup, let’s kick (or not kick) ourselves out of the playoffs so we can prove a point…”
“Joe Montana sucked ass - the only question outstanding is whose.”
“Marcus Allen rules (and I met him too, he’s quite polite)”
“Not only is Major League Baseball contraction a good thing, the Royals should have been the among the first to go. And if they continue to operate like it’s the 1940’s, MLB will be gone in about 20 years.”

Things are not going to keep “ticking along pretty as you please”. One day, maybe not all that far off, unless some major changes occur that I don’t currently see on the books, we’re going to fuck ourselves over hardcore, and there won’t be any takebacks, there won’t be any fixing it. We’ll be well and truly fucked, as the saying goes. End of the line, thanks for playing. Next species, please!
>People would be smarter if they read more books.
>People who smoke cigarettes are not evil, tainted, despicable cretins who deserve your ire. Heroin addicts get more sympathy than smokers in this country, thanks to some totalitarian nutfucks with control issues.
>Marajuana is no worse than alcohol. Sure, it’s not great to be addicted to anything, really, but potheads are much cooler and a lot more fun than alcoholics, no matter which way you slice it.
>That there is such widespread loathing toward cigarette and pot smokers is proof of how easily most people are brainwashed.
>36 million people in the world have AIDS, and 25 million of those people live in Africa. No one cares because they are, for the most part, poor and black. The problem has been ignored and insufficiently bandaged for so long that I doubt it will be resolved, ever.
>Procreation is not a right. If you can’t get pregnant without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on fertility treatments, maybe you just shouldn’t have children, or maybe you should adopt a few.
>Some women enjoy being catcalled and hollered at while walking down the street. Those women have low self-esteem. Personally, I don’t care what you’d like to do to me, just as you probably don’t care that I’d like to rip your penis off with my bare hands and make you eat it for dinner after deep-frying in your prescence.
>The world is so fucked up because most people are self-centered and narrow-minded.
