    Orange is the New Black Cancellation Hoax Outrages Bazillions (of Lesbians) Sometimes a joke can go too far. That may be the case after a parody site's claims that Netflix had cancelled its hit show "Orange Is the New Black" led to a massive Twitter storm of shock and outrage. Many of those...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    That's simply not true. You are ill-informed. Talk to people who have been there, and lived there, especially Americans. View some news reports from international news organizations with no dog in the hunt. The places and situations these people are coming from make downtown Detroit on a...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Here's a pretty good overview of that, and how far back it goes.

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    "We've got to do something to help those poor people!" That's precisely what most of the stories about the refugees from violence in Central America and the Death Train are supposed to engender. Have you noticed that most of the stories these last few weeks aren't about the problems at the...

    Gov. Rick Perry discusses crisis at US-Mexico border.

    Good stuff. Like Perry says, even if Congress doesn't act, the President can pick up the phone, call the DoD, and secure the borders today, right now. It's something I've been whining about for 20 years. It's infuriating. If the President doesn't, then Congress can fund and order the Border...

    Re: Forget I bothered So, hard work = physical labor. Got it. The notion that hard work only involves physically demanding manual labor, and jobs which do not require manual labor are not hard work, is a very Socialist-Marxists position, incidentally.

    What Country best fits your personality?

    I think that one's more like a Magic 8 Ball - ask it some meaningless questions and it pops up an answer for you. I went from mai tais on a tropic beach to Iceland.

    Re: Forget I bothered You'd be surprised. It helps you thrive under pressure. Being a server is like boot camp for staying calm under stress. You have to contend with several tables demanding everything from a new fork to a bendy straw for their kid, irate sous chefs, and a manager asking you...

    Re: Forget I bothered Sorry Paul, but a cashier and a restaurant server aren't even remotely similar in terms of skill sets. I have hired both positions and the requirements, and job descriptions, are vastly different. Even the hostess in a restaurant requires a very different set of skills and...

    Unfortunately, it is. In response to the deluge of confused comments, Branscomb replied with another photo of the same triceratops killer. This time the comment read: “Folks, we need your help identifying the vicious shark-killer shown posing with his illegal prey. Sharks are essential to...

    A lot of people do. Sure, some of them are stupid, but many of them are not. People actually believe the above photo is of a real hunted and killed triceratops, with the hunter proudly posing with his kill. There are less obviously ridiculous things on the Internet that people believe at face...

    Re: Forget I bothered Exactly. Again, when you go to a restaurant you are buying two things: food that is prepared for you, and service. If you aren't going to pay for one, you shouldn't be paying for the other. Or you shouldn't be going to restaurants that have service.
