banker tips 1% just to be a douche bag
says his whistleblower, Mention the “99%” in my boss’ presence and feel his wrath. So proudly does he wear his 1% badge of honor that he tips exactly 1% every time he feels the server doesn’t sufficiently bow down to his Holiness. Oh, and he always makes sure to include a “tip” of his own.
the tip? GET A REAL JOB.
i wonder who would serve this guy if everyone he gave a shitty tip to got a...

i agree with the other points, but you dont think christians are safe people to look after children? or teach children? theres this thing that happens when you follow someone and theyre pretty cool but then they say youre a danger to children.

Help make up Planned Parenthood's lost funds →
boehnerforpp:
Since news of the Susan G Komen Foundation for the Cure’s decision to stop funding breast cancer screenings through Planned Parenthood, individual donors have contributed over $400,000 to PP to make up for lost funds. Last year SGK gave Planned Parenthood a $580,000 grant. How wonderful would it be if Planned Parenthood received more in donations to fund their vital programs in...

Mittens' greatest hits: →
kileyrae:
With his remark Wednesday that he’s “not concerned about the very poor,” Mitt Romney is getting quite the reputation for gaffes (despite mentioning in the same breath that the poor have a safety net). POLITICO looks back at 5 other much-criticized off-the-cuff comments Romney’s made this cycle that would have been better off had he put them differently:
1. “Corporations are people,...

… all the Nicolas Cage meme stuff just does not strike me as humorous in any way whatsoever. He’s a goofy actor with a drawl-ish voice, sure, I get it. But when every Facebook kid and his brother starts making photo albums titled “Random” and posting picture after picture of rage comics and Nicolas Cage-in-agony, I really have to question things. Like life in general. Because I...

More annoying than a teenager who’s discovered weed for the first time is… well, I sure can’t think of anything.
i can think of something!
a 24 year old ‘writer’ who doesn’t know anything about the world but keeps a really embarrassing blog full of obnoxiously unfounded opinions about the world.

Y’ever look at the person who got the job ahead of you and think to yourself, “My God, this guy is a talentless waste of space”? I’m sure my own bitterness plays a sizable factor, but there’s this one dude who does literally nothing at the paper for which I used to intern, and his talent level is bordering on naught. But, hey, the office needed a black dude, so they created a...

It’s nice to live in a country where rich equals bad. If you’re a rich person, or in any way wealthier than lower class, you automatically are spoiled, greedy, uncaring about class struggle. Honestly, what I think it boils down to is jealousy. People emphasizing the value of money far too damn much for their own good, so they have to not only inquire into how much their neighbor...

just a thought.
so THIS might sound weird [but it's not]
the other day i got my teeth x-rayed and i got to keep a copy of the x-rays. and my husband got a disc with his x-rays on them after he broke his leg and got pins in them.
do any of you have anything like that you could send me? i need x-rays, but i want them to be from actual people, not just like…google searches.
again, it’s for a project, not for like…a collection of x-rays...

anticapitalist:
Any normal person found guilty of stealing $40,000 from, say, a bank or an employer, would likely be sentenced to at least five years of prison. But when you work for the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA), you can expect to be given special legal treatment and sent on your way. The Associated Press reports that two former TSA screeners, 44-year-old Coumar Persad and...

I think people are confusing her confidence for sexuality. This woman is clearly posed to give an air of competence and mastery, which is good for her, since she’s a politician. Confidence is sexy, but that doesn’t mean she’s trying to bed you.
YES. perfect response.
midwestfuckyeah asked: It's troubling that Peter Punkin' Eater's main argument is that a female politician cannot possibly be photographed without men seeing her as a sexual object with questionable motives and using her "feminine whiles" to trick men into voting for her, regardless of the fact that she is fully clothed. It's even more troubling that he claims to be a feminist.
rabblevolunteer asked you:
It’s like that guy is saying that men are incapable of making rational decisions simply because someone may be perceived as “sexy”. Just because I think a politician may be hot or sexy doesn’t mean I’m going to automatically vote for that politician. Wanting to fuck someone is not the same as wanting them to be your political representative...
peterhiggsinabathingsuit asked: I just showed that video to someone who had no idea who she was, I asked her what she thought her job was, she said "some kind of glamour model or something?" The woman undermines the feminist movement by exploiting her sexuality rather than trying to get support the right way, i.e. communicating policies that the public favour.
noumenology asked: The problem with these men/women political images you're referring to has two sides: first, there is the reality of sexualization of the subject (whatever it is) by media outlets, and how news organizations try to sensationalize through those methods. Secondly, there's the internalization of that reality, so that the fair and long standing criticism of sexualization is present, even when...
raven-red asked: your other questioner is an idiot. Your points actually make sense. And on that note, if she wants to pose for photos dressed in nothing but the skin she was born in, then that's her business, and has nothing to do with her ability as a politician

peterhiggsinabathingsuit asked: Just do a google search, this was debated in the British media. The question wasn't whether she was presenting promoting herself in a sexualised, it's whether there is cause for criticism or not. I say there is because it is a cheap vote she is trying to win. She is not trying to win votes based on her principles.
peterhiggsinabathingsuit asked: I can't... I never said half the things. You're not even listening or thinking about what I've said. You're just a little simian fool. MY POINT IS THEY ARE TRYING TO WIN FAVOUR WITH VOTERS BY EXPLOITING THEIR SEXUALITY. THEIR ABILITY TO DO THEIR JOB SHOULD BE THE ONLY DECIDING FACTOR AT THE POLLING BOOTHS. Compare Mensch's and Cameron's shoot with Clinton's and...

The fact that you can’t spot the subtlety is the whole reason I’m concerned in the first place. It’s all happening subliminally with you guys. Herp derp, I can’t see her pussy tho’ lol.
