Imagine, for a moment, you had to do this for any other product you buy to get a price.

See also, “It’s not personal.” Until I become an inanimate object, if it affects me it IS personal.

First, no one has ever said this to me. How arrogant can you get? But if they did, “Go fuck yourself’ works for me. 

I’m thinking this guy did a couple of operations, got paid and saw no one was checking up on him. Bingo! New income stream for him and the hospital. And hey...they’re detainees. No one cares what happens to them. No one is going to listen to them. The racism and greed are tightly intertwined.

Here’s a rarely seen bit of 24 karat Goldie that should put a smile on anyone’s face.

It’s strictly a coincidence that the Polio vaccine innoculations and Ray Kroc’s aquisition of McDonald’s happened around the same period in time. Note that the number of reported cases of Polio dropped year by year as the number of McDonald’s outlets multiplied almost exponentially. So-called “scientists” and

I don’t agree with the letter at all, I’m Mexican and Puerto Rican. I could care less if they want to put a pattern on a dress. Saying certain patterns or styles only belong to the mexican people is ridiculous, what are you going to do copyright it? I find it flattering that people want to wear our styles. Let it live

Okay, Bill. Bet. We’ll just lock you in a room with Kevin Spacey and see how that goes.

British passenger: “Hey Frenchy, what’s that dot at 12 o’clock high?”

This. I ignore almost every one star review. On Amazon, if you find a one star review and look at the other reviews by the same person, they are all complaints. 

The only bit I would poke holes in is this:

1990: SAVE THE TREES, USE PLASTIC BAGS
2019: HOLY FUCK WAIT

I somewhat understand the cynicism, but isn’t journalism supposed to be a bit more subjective? Where is the cynicism when GM, Tesla, & others similarly lobby the government to extend the electric vehicle tax credit? I guess if this was written more along the lines of “O&G is, again, lobbying the government at the

Why is this Splinter site so anti-Israel? What is the correct ratio of Israelis that their government should allow to be murdered by Palestinians before Israel is allowed to shoot back?

Regardless of where embassies are located Jerusalem is functionally Israel’s capital. As a result, Israelis tend to think of it as part of Israel.
