idiotic / narcissistic / annoying facebook statuses - Page 186 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

When the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
Is this man truly a genius? Checked out and this is true...it DID happen!

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama...'s socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.

When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed.
It could not be any simpler than that. (Please pass this on)

Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

This gem is spreading on fb.

The goggles do nothing. I don't even know where to begin with this.

If you ask yourself why hairstylists "charge so much" for doing your hair ... They don't get paid vacation, they don't get paid sick days, they don't get bonuses for outstanding performances nor for Christmas. They don't have insurance plans nor do we qualify for unemployment. They sacrifice their family on special days so that they can bring happiness to others. Illness or personal affairs are not excuses for a bad haircut/color. Next time you ask, remember that hairdressers are hairdressers because of the love of doing hair, but that love doesn't pay debts. Happy hairstylist's Day!! Re-post if you're a hairstylist or have good friends that are hairstylists. RESPECT THE stylist!

So it's my 29th Bithday tomorrow. I'm spending it grooming dogs and eating fish and chips for supper. It's just another day to me. What bothers me is that about 40 of my facebook friends will see my name pop up saying it's my birthday and write me. These are people I used to have close connections with that now contact me one day a year to wish me well on my "special day". So please, do me a favour "friends" don't bother posting lame crap on my wall tomorrow. You don't care to contact me any other time of year, don't bother now. Happy ****ing Birthday to me.

One of 14 status updates (literally) this girl put on her wall today:

Quote:

Madilyn just crawled through the 18 inch tunnel and farted 4 times! "Stanky butt"

Really? The entire world needs to know that your daughter farted?

That will be the last one I post from her, just blocked her from my feed. It was fun for a moment in a "lol at you" way, but seriously gfy with your 10+ updates every day.

You should have asked her to describe the fart smell in detail before blocking her.

There are 4 likes and 22 comments. The majority of them are people being nice to her. There are 2 or 3 that say 'why do you even have fb' or something of that ilk.

Most narcissists are the way they are because of the wealth of enablers that cater to their feelings.

moo buckets, i like how you didn't indicate anything about the gender of the poster, yet the conversation just naturally rolls around to using "she" and "her".

I have been neglected, disrespected, and rejected. I have been unappreciated, used and abused. I have been stressed, tired over worked, and under paid. I have been unhappy,lost, lonely and alone. But through it all I STAND WITH A SMILE ON MY FACE, DRIED MY TEARS AND THANK GOD FOR BETTER DAYS, I STRIVE FOR JOY AND APPRECIATE ME NOW.TIME FOR A CHANGE AND I'M STARTING WITH ME. YOU DON'T LIKE IT, DELETE YOURSELF NOT JUST OFF FB BUT FROM MY LIFE CAUSE SOME OF YOU WONT MAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL IN MY LIFE.... IT'S ALL BOUT ME!!!!!

Lol for sure. Any guy who didn't want a wall full of birthday wishes knows well enough to just hide or delete birthday info.

Yeah, if this thread has shown anything it's that there aren't any male drama queens.

Right I have the thread ender right here. This is worse than anything thats been posted in this thread. Some girl I went to school with just posted this video. Be prepared to drop down stakes after watching it because your IQ will lose about 10 points.

she commented "I hope everyone has a great Christmas and remembers how it started"
