Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried... -Winston Churchill.

Yeah. Those people in China are so much better off in the US.

hmmmmmmmm

But is there evidence the world is actually getting dumber? People say that shit all the time, but I’m pretty certain there were a lot more dumb shits in the 1800's and 1st half of the 1900's at least.

Update (9:53 a.m.): Diniz has just collapsed on the course.

I don’t know what happened! I did what I do every morning: head over to the local Bob Evans and have a server force feed me a vat of sausage gravy through a tube while the hostess loosens my anus with a series of vicious kicks from her tiny, slip-resistant-shoe-covered feet.

I have the same gait when I have to poop.

I had a delivery to Indianapolis one time. My GPS tried to route me under a train bridge that had 11'4" of clearance. The trailer on my semi is 13'6".

It has a lot of convention rooms, so on one particular day, I saw a railroad mechanics group, a 20-something tech startup company, and a group of Dairy Queen owners. That, right there, is Indiana. Except the…

Also, with her antics at the Olympics, Leslie Jones is just fucking annoying.

I’d probably just watch something like John Wick or Kingsman again instead!

Don't tell my KKK buddies that I'm not white!

Yep, pretty much. I do enjoy Kate McKinnon, but the rest just are boring or bad to me. I didn’t laugh at Bridesmaids at all. Found Spy watchable, but far from anything I’d watch again. Just like I avoid Wes Anderson movies because his style just doesn’t work for me, but hating his stuff doesn’t get you branded a…

Same as me. Yes it’s allowed. If people called you sexist then you should have authority to punch them in the skull.

I mean, I wanted Ghostbusters to be fun, but it was not fun. Sad is a word I more closely associate with it.

Nope that makes you a sexist manbaby who lives in his moms basement who is also a KKK member and also kicks puppies aparently

I don't like the cast and director, is that allowed?

Won’t see Ghostbusters.
