Robo-Bush FEELS Like Invasion!
This is a potpourri version of the CTF. There are about five articles I have that aren't rapid fire, but are nonetheless all equally perplexing and hard to fathom as possible.
The first is an example of something that makes total business sense but no common sense. It's the company putting the bottom line before making our country a worse, stupider place to live. Yeah, that's the rule and it always has been, doesn't mean I like it.
There are now companies giving stipends to their employees for getting skinnier in a weight-loss program sponsored by the company. Why? Because it saves them on health costs. Fat fucks go to the doctor more than skinny, in-shape people.
So what happens? The company gives a hundred bucks or more to people who are fat who get on an exercise program. This makes it a positive reinforcement to yo-yo and be fat and then skinny and fat and then skinny.
How about instead giving incentives to the skinny people for being skinny, and tell the fat fucks to slim down or lose their fucking jobs? No, because in America, the fat rule. Why? Because we're all fucking fat, lazy hogs.

Another strange story: I don't know much about this story, but I found it astounding. Generally, it's considered impossible to convict a man on the basis of circumstantial evidence, but apparently, someone convicted a man based on heresay, without a body, without physical evidence. Shit, the girl could still be alive.
Why is this a big deal? Well, the general logic is that yeah, he probably did it, but probably is only good enough in HIV and anal warts.
In America, you're innocent until PROVEN guilty, not LIKELY guilty. And while I hope the fuck burns if he's proven guilty, there's nothing to stop a legal precedent of like over proof if we start convicting on circumstantial evidence. This may be the fault of a tard jury, but then, if a jury of peers starts being a tard (as opposed to one person on a jury) that's a general worry that more and more people are relying on the circumspect to make their decisions as opposed to the burden of proof. A Christian nation of faith, in other words, who believe things because it seems right as opposed to being logical.
I just FEEL that black people might steal my car, so let's put them in jail.
I just FEEL that a white businessman is dicking me, so let's burn his house and take his cars (Marxism).
I just FEEL that Iraq wants to kill us, so let's invade.
I just FEEL the Jews are out for our money and to destroy our society. So let's kill them all.
You see the danger of this logic on a continued and mass basis? This affects one man, which is small change. But it can motivate a nation to evil when common.

Thirty-six killer dolphins the US military was training to kill terrorists have escaped with poison-tipped darts in the wake of the hurricanes. They could kill divers, swimmers, or anyone their mammalian brain considers the target dummy they trained on.
My question: How many millions of dollars are we spending to make dolphins killers, and how much easier would it be to take those millions of dollars and devote it to human intelligence, which wouldn't be outlandishly stupid?
Or a better one: How about we turn back time and dump the 200 BILLION dollars a year we've thrown into Iraq into counter-terrorism FBI surveillance?
Well, nah, that wouldn't be sharks with frickin' laser beams, so fuck it.

Lynndie England has been convicted of prisoner abuse. REALLY? You mean, the pictures of her torturing prisoners led to a conviction? Now THAT is proof.
She says she acted on orders. Why are her superiors not on trial? Why only ten years for something that will be a blemish on American foreign relations for a hundred? Why is Donald Rumsfield not accountable for the classified but leaked memos he wrote authorizing torture for information? Who is being held accountable for the flights taking our prisoners to the Sudan to be tortured by another country so that we don't violate the Geneva rules?
Well, see, there's the other side of the coin...when you find proof, but the punishment doesn't fit the crime and the accomplices are allowed to walk free. It's like the mob, only it's the American government.

And finally, strangest of all, for the first time in his administration, George Bush has advocated the conservation of gas.

First he takes responsibility for something, then he actually advocates the conservation of gas for a few days...has our president been replaced by a robot?
