Then there's this, from Miami Herald journalist AJ Delgado:

The solution. A capitalist based system but a tax on the extremely wealthy and all for-profit corporations that is sufficient that when this portion of taxes is divided among the populace it guarantees that nobody is below the poverty line. So if poverty = x then the lowest possible amount anyone c...

Anyone else remember when the Avenged Sevenfold member posted on the Pit back before they had their big break? I think he was one of the guitarists. That guy was a complete douche. That might have been before my time. But every picture of those guys just screams "douchebags" and "pos...

My experience: People who mock people for listening to certain types of music usually don't know much about music. So the mockers are entitled to their opinion, but I don't have to take it seriously. That's exactly the kind of thing someone who listens to shit music would say. And this is the kind ...

As shitty as Taylor Swift's music is, you've got to admire the way she's gone from being a target of ridicule for women everywhere to a feminist icon. And she did it by taking on Tina Fey and Amy Poehler of all people. Ballsy. I mean...ovarian?

I took one of those 'who should you vote for' tests and he was the one that came out on top, followed by Hillary, then Martin O'Malley with Jeb Bush leading the Republicans. So let's hope he gets elected now that we know he's objectively the best candidate.

You might have a point about the scapegoating issue, but the fact is individuals like him are helping to prop up these structural problems you're talking about. "Blame the system, not the people"? The people are the system. You're talking like the system is somehow separate from people li...

She looks like a woman with an overdone tan (she actually looks orange, not black) with a perm. If I wasn't told she was supposed to look black, I would have thought she was a white woman with a tan and a perm. Because that's what she is. How did she fool people? Wtf? Because orange is the new black.

I managed to quote my own post instead of editing it.

6) Like, what does pretending to be black actually achieve for black activism? If she could have done her work equally as effectively as a white woman, then performing blackness seems to be solely about gratifying something in herself The world is full of people who identify so strongly with less p...

Would it be wise to build my own, or should I just buy a pre-made rig? Build your own. There is no activity that will drive up the price of a PC more than gaming, so the savings wil be worth it.

My favourite anti-gay marriage argument is the one that platonic friends of the same sex will start getting married to take advantage of tax breaks etc. As if platonic friends of the opposite sex could not do exactly that already.
