Today.... I'm going to send flowers to the family of those slain in Mexico recently.

Woman had a 7 moth old child in the backseat when she and her husband were shot to death.

Yes...I'm certain that we should end the war on drugs now.

Today I'm going to stop wearing clothes/shoes as they are nearly all made by weary people in sweat shops working 70 hour weeks to earn enough money to just about keep them alive in the putrid shanty town they trudge back to every night to collapse under a tarpaulin for the few hours of sleep they can pinch in between the dawn and dusk of their living nightmare.

I'm also not going to eat any imported food (even if free) as the majority is produced by land grab companies dominating African/South American high productivity areas to make unseasonal food for our endless appetite for the exotic, where people are forced to work for a dollar a day harvesting food they are not allowed to eat while half their society starves.

I'm also going to renounce my pension and close my bank account as the vast sums they invest in attack defense companies in pursuit of the the highly stable returns that only dropping bombs on peasants for something they have not even done can bring is obviously one of the best deeds I can do today.

Doing something nice today is as simple as getting naked, starving yourself and renouncing capitalism. Easy game.

Or you could just change where you shop.

im sure flowers are ideal for helping out indeed

You would not want to offend her by sending cash.

It is a cultural thing.

Not sure you quite understand how the globalised economy works.

I posted rebuttals in the thread that says gays are unnatural deviants in need of treatment. Does that count?

Was this an attempt at humor?



Rrrrrrriiiiiigght

Seeing as youre trying to do something nice everyday, i might as well book tomorro ill take a 500$ stake on stars JD
Pm for details

LOL

Tomorrow is no good for buying horses.... I'm taking the youngest one to Disney.

Do they have burritos and beer there?


However....On topic...we bought 2 extra passes and will give them out at the gate.

If anyone here wants to go.... be at the gate at 10am... FREE DISNEY ! ! !

I was in a gas station the other day and some lady needed help finding a street. I tried to explain but didn't seem like she was getting it so I took 20 min out of my day to have her follow me to where she needed to get to.

That's awesome !

I did something similar on a much lower scale.... at the Pacquiao/Clottey fight last weekend.... 2 ladies wanted to know where the closest restroom was so I walked them to the restroom.

I'm not sure it's capitalism to blame, just the demon-people fueling it. A capitalist society run by intelligent, moral, unwavering, hard-working, happy people on the other hand...

But yea, anyway my best idea to combat all of the world's ****tiness is to get all of "us" (you know the ones I'm talking about) to form a community somewhere, and setup a strong economy and advanced society, and use that momentum to make the world's idiocy irrelevant.

This thread is like an arms dealer selling one less bullet and then patting themselves on the back about it.

Uh-oh. I like it when someone realizes "they" are all morons. It troubles me when that person thinks that "we" aren't.

Well, I mean in relative terms. Einstein makes the back-porch physics conversations that my friends and I have seem pretty moronic, but I also hear that there are plenty of things wrong with what he wrote in his monumental theories.

Compared to a super computer that could run everything optimally, yea, we are all braindead. But when it comes to your everyday happenings like understanding how your actions affect others emotionally, or developing theories to explain diseases and medicines to suppress their symptons, or raising responsible children, or making efficient systems, or just problem solving and rational thinking in general, some are (what seems like) light years ahead of others.

I just made some donk moves..........

I agree that the right group of people getting together could make things work better than any current government does.

On the other hand, that right group of people hasn't actually managed to get together yet, and I'm not sure whether the "cat-herding" element really speaks to their (what the hell, our, I'm not humble) intelligence. A bunch of stupid people who are united in a stupid cause can get a lot more done than a bunch of smarter people who are too busy disagreeing with one another about nitty details to actually put it all together.

How I envision it, we'd have a community where everyone was linked up through computers, and we'd have involved debates on all topics (hmm wonder where I got that idea from). Any strong disagreement can result in groups of people going their seperate ways, though I think in most cases it would probably be best to make some sort of compromise rather than splitting up.

We'd come up with intelligent strategies for feeding people, organizing labor, keeping people healthy (nutritionally/medically/emotionally), educating people, and making life more enjoyable and comfortable in general.

It would be nice, I'm not sure it can be pulled off. Then, I'm a pessimist.

Bahahaa.... I'm sure the people at the table appreciated it...unless you river ratted them.


So this morning...we stop at a greasy truck stop to get some breakfast before going into the park... the service was unbelievably bad... the food was possibly the worst thing I've ever choked down in my life...and I've been to Vietnam... hash browns were burned... the diced potatoes in the omelet were so burned...they were crunchy and hard to chew. The waitress never came around to refill the coffee...I had to go to her and ask for some more coffee and her reply was "You'll get it when it's done.... I have to make some more... I can't give you something I aint got".
Everything was so bad, we were laughing.... it was as if we were on a hidden camera TV show or something.
Decided to tip her $20 anyways.... she stopped in her tracks...stared and said "You kidding me?"

"No ma'am....have a good day."

She goes in behind the counter and pulls out this plastic tupperware jug and takes the lid off it... holds that $20 bill up to show another waiter and smiles from ear to ear...displaying ONE tooth.

I got my moneys worth. That was priceless! I don't think she ever got a $20 tip in her life.

wow

That is a good one.

Better than many Bible verses.

Who is going to clean your Toilette's? Its going to get really smelly.

ohhh my good you are all so crazy :-)
