  • in a just world, not one centered around corporate interests, you would lose your license for this. instead, the automotive industry has to ensure that there’s plenty of drivers to buy their cars, so we can’t be too harsh on our licensing laws.

    I guess it doesn’t matter. 50,000 deaths per year due to traffic accidents is a fair price to pay for the freedom to sit in traffic.






  • it’s just some colloquial bullshit created by the common misunderstanding of the phrase “exception that proves the rule”.

    that phrase actually is supposed to refer to a rule that isn’t written explicitly but rather must be inferred by some statement in the negative. for example, a sign that says “no skateboarding on weekdays” means you can skateboard here on the weekends, a rule which we can understand even though we only are given the exception to it

    I didn’t steer shit, first of all. I’m not the one who posted the original comment. I’m just telling you to shut the fuck up. Let us enjoy our thing.

    Second, do you really believe that if you just ignore things they go away? As if people are not out there bible thumping every single day? and we come in here and try to enjoy a moment of reflecting on the ridiculousness of those beliefs and you have to come in here and bitch about it. hence, I’m here to tell you to shut the fuck up.

    I’m sorry if this comes across as rude, maybe cussing will send me to hell or whatever, but i really feel like your input has been the truly rude part of this conversation.


  • sounds like you haven’t had much experience of having to sit through religious people spout bullshit at you every single day. it’s not the least bit surprising to me that it’s on someone’s mind. or maybe you just don’t understand why religion would matter to someone? even to challenge/deny it is to engage with its importance no?
