Could somebody please duct-tape my neighbor's mouth?

The woman below me has been talking loudly for over an hour and every 3rd or 4th word seems to be "mother-f***er.

The talking doesn't bother me, I live in an apartment, I'm used to it, but the constant swearing is driving me crazy,

I've lost 20 pounds in the past 2 months.

My pants size has went from 56 to 52! The only thing I have changed is that I have become the supervisor of the afternoon shift at work, and so I have been moving around and on my feet a lot more.

Physical activity works!

The only purpose of "assault" weapons is to kill people.

hunting rifles have a legitimate purpose, hunting (ducks from PETA nuts), there is no reason for a civilian to have these "military-style" fire arms with magazines with 30 or 50 rounds of ammo. Hell, I believe in many states it's ILLEGAL to hunt using such huge cartridges.

I don't think anyone should have such weapons.

And please don't give me the "BUT IT'S MY FREEDUMB!!!" nonsense.

What did everyone get for the holidays?

I got clothes, including a hilarious shirt that says "this is my lazy shirt", and a $100 gift card to Barnes and Noble.

I am sick of the MSM speculation about Adam Lanza's mental problems and motives.

They are too fucking obsessed with being the first to get the scoop that they don't give a damn about verifying any information. It's pissing me off. THERE HAS BEEN NO VERIFICATION AT ALL that the shooter has Asperger's or a personality disorder or congenital analgesia, it's just rumor and anecdote.

Here comes the "video games cause school shootings" nonsense.

That didn't take long.

All the bashing of Rebecca Watson (Skepchick) is making me sick

She makes fun of Evo-Psych BS and she gets called a "Radical Feminist" with an anti-science Leftist agenda.

I can hardly visit that site anymore without drowning in Global Warming Denialist BS, and now this?

The 2nd Amendment is an anachronism.

The Founders were opposed to permanent standing armies because at the time they were associated with monarchical absolutism and instead expected state militias to do the job of defense, that is the context of the 2nd Amendment. It says people have a right to own weapons so they can serve in the militia need be. it has nothing to do with an absolute right to own guns.
