France cheats its way into World Cup
As soon as money is introduced, and it becomes entertainment, you should just expect the spirit of fair play and sportsmanship to go right out the window. The owners associations only care about putting more fans in the stands at the highest possible ticket price. The league controls the officiating, and the money controls the league. Every professional sport has their examples of how money ruins them: the NFL that welcomes felons with open arms, the NBA has referees betting on the outcomes of the games and then making calls to get those outcomes, baseball players juicing up on steroids so they can hit more homeruns, cyclists blood doping to get an edge, sporting leagues tweaking the seeding of playoffs to put particular teams in the finals, etc. ad nauseaum. These will all continue to become more and more prevalent until the fan outrage reaches critical mass and they stop buying tickets or watching matches on the telly. When the money goes away the ethics of the games will return. I'm not gonna hold my breath.
Shiny Suds are Naughty
The point is that product makers should label what's in their cleaners so you can chose to not to use ones with certain chemicals in them.
Yeah because we all know which chemicals (and chemical combinations) can have adverse effects on us. Yeah we could all use the internet to investigate which chemicals could be harmful, but really if we're going to do that isn't it just as easy to figure out which products could be harmful the same way? Plus I think it would be easier to remember that "Shiny Suds" might be harmful than to try and remember if "polyethylmethalenedimonochlorohydroxipentathyaletamine glycol" might be harmful.
Better suggestion would be for consumers to stop buying cleaning products all together. Salt, vinegar, and elbow grease will clean your bathroom far better and you won't have to worry about any harmful chemicals.
Couple Arrested for Not Paying Tip
i say all of this as a way to make some here understand that, imho, there was simply no way that an hourly wage or salary could have created the pride and dedication to excellence that the tips from our commensurate service often brought - it would boggle your minds to know the number of times our customers showed their generous appreciation of our attempts to make their evening (and entire vacation in the islands) as memorable as possible
I think you've missed the point. A gratuity should be a bonus for a job well done, not the compensation for doing your job. Think about it this way, which would you rather have, an hourly wage that was enough that you didn't need to collect tips to survive, or to be making 3$ an hour and hoping you get enough tips to pay your bills? I know what my answer would be.
Also as a service worker you should be performing at your best without the expectation of reward.
Boy Won't Say Pledge of Allegiance Until Gays Can Marry
Unless being a hateful bigot is a civil right and nobody told me?
COLBY, THE CHRISTIAN ROBOT!
16 Deaths Per Day
Jacob, Get Off The Xbox 360
Know Your Meme: AutoTune - With Professor Weird Al Yankovic
And people wonder why I don't listen to the radio.
This exactly describes reality TV - Mitchell and Webb
I still watch the show because I enjoy seeing the locales, but I have little interest who succeeds because I find all the contestants in dire need of fatal parasitic infections.
And I just really wanna slap every team of Evangelical Christians that think that if they pray enough they'll win. Amazingly, even though they never seem to stop praying, except to trash other teams, they never seem to win. Imagine that, I guess they just aren't praying enough. Or maybe God's only a fan of America's Next Top Model.

Clerks: The Mythical Alternate Ending!!!
Vote Up To Torment This Christian Woman (Carrie Prejean)
What I have yet to understand is why anyone gives a shit about this vapid ignorant bitch, and others of her ilk.
Zero Punctuation: Uncharted 2 Among Thieves
As for the gun fights, with as many as they make you endure (for a platformer) they really should give you a better aiming system, it can be really frustrating when you have to empty a clip to drop someone standing 20 feet from you.
My only other complaint is with the several sections where you have to run towards the camera trying to either dodge bullets or outrun the collapse of what you are running on, while having to hurdle obstacles that you can't see until you're already stuck on them.
All in all I really enjoy the Uncharted series. They could have more adventuring and puzzle solving and less gun play, but hey that's just me.
Digital forensics shows Oswald photo was not faked
Shouldn't that prove his innocence? After all according to Winstonfield_Pennypacker and Quantumushroom all good Democrats are Marxists.
"I Object!" - Featuring Robot: Tom Price
But when you get right down to it, generally speaking the vast majority of the Dems we have in office are pussies, for lack of a better word. They had a super majority, controlled both the House and the Senate with filibuster proof majorities, they could have ramrodded through ANY bill they wanted if they had just been willing to nut up say "damn the torpedoes!" and not worry about upsetting their corporate overlords. We could have had a fully funded, completely universal, national healthcare service the day after Al Franken was sworn in, if they only had the courage to do what is best for the citizens, not what's least damaging to mega-corporations.
Yeah they passed a healthcare reform bill, that has been picked apart left and right, in order to needlessly "compromise" with conservatives. Whether this bill will provide any real relief for the citizens of this country, will be for time to tell.
I personally have my doubts.
"I Object!" - Featuring Robot: Tom Price
If these assholes aren't going to grow the fuck and a behave themselves then they should lose their right to participate. It's not fair to their constituency but that's what they get for electing fuckwads to represent them.
Congressman Alan Grayson Lists Number Of Dead Per District
Also, anyone feel that watching congress is like watching a 10 year old boys' club, where they're just making shit up as they go along but pretending like it's legitimate?
Ah the grand system that is Parliamentary Procedure, the greatest way in the world to ensure that everyone who has something important to say can't and to make certain that nothing ever gets done.
>> ^quantumushroom:
Even if this lastest socialist abortion of a health care bill fails--and it better--long after this fat-faced histrionic clown is out of office we'll still already be paying for Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security, all of which are out of money and rife with fraud and abuse apparently no one in DC cares about.
Out of money because your "Conservative" heroes have been robbing them blind for decades to pay for everything that can't be paid for because of all those lovely tax cuts for billionaires and corporate America.
USMC Silent Drill Platoon
I guess I'm just in a tiny minority because when I see things like this I can't help thinking, "how much does it cost to maintain pointless things like this?" Couldn't that money be spent on more important things like body armor? Our military doesn't spend enough money to keep its men and women safe, but it funds a dance troupe?
Miri Ben-Ari Pepsi Commercial
There's something tremendously mind-boggling about the very concept of a hip-hop violinist.
Upvote for boggling!
As if the mind boggling wasn't enough, they had to assault our ears with a shitty hip hop cover/remix(really aren't they all) of a Charlie Daniels classic.
Cute girl though.
