Look, I never consented to being taxed to pay for the Iraq war or raiding medicinal marijuana dispensaries. I didn't consent to being taxed to subsidize high fructose corn syrup or the oil industry. Paying for poor people's health care? Yeah, I think you can figure out a way to reconcile that one.

My stars, what inventive puns! One of you will get comet of the day, for sure.

Really? You have known some incredibly well-written twelve year olds. I hope you told them how special they were because damn, I've taught school, and let me assure you that twelve year olds do not write like this.

Sorry to post this off-topic but any idea why the links don't work? I just get an underline and a text cursor when I go over them, no way to click.

Any side effects to blood full of calcium carbonate?

Wait, guys, could someone explain how they're more than doubling 129? It just doesn't seem like anyone's covering this.

What's the travel site for paleontologists?

They want to be men, manly men who forded the river with their oxen without the whole fucking thing collapsing, men who cut down trees and can carry more than 100 pounds of buffalo meat back to their wagon trains and did not die of dysentery before they arrived at the end of the Oregon Trail. But they want to do it…

Agreed, but switch the ratios of vinegar and tabasco.

I know you are just being a dick, but that really is interesting. The odds of this happening once are tiny, the odds of it happening twice? Crazy.

You know, I'd bet money that he's Brazilian.

I'm sorry, but you don't know how taxes work. Brackets are cut off levels, applied progressively. For instance, if the first tax bracket is $100,000, taxed at 30%, and income under that is taxed at 10%, and you make $101,000, you don't pay $30,300 in taxes. You pay $10,300. Only the amount above a bracket is taxed at…

Haha, looks like they did. 'Grats.

As someone who has had and lost a couple of stars, let me tell you: begging for a star is not the correct way to go about it.

That was a terrible incident, no doubt, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, forced abortions are banned by the central government, and the three officials involved here were fired. Of course, China is run almost entirely on the local level, and there are a lot of corrupt or crazy local pols, so shit…

Yeah, Chinese woman had it tough for a couple centuries. But also, China was the first country in the world with specific legal rights for woman, including the right of divorce. While all across Europe and Dar Islam woman were owned as property, in china they could own property.

Dude, there are not state funded abortions. It's just a tax penalty if you have more than one kid.

Do they come in races other than white?

Dude, she has a vagina. Give it up.
