I suspected it involved having a wank while fishing, but the reality was a much, much, nastier image: http://www.urbandictionary.com/products.php?term=casturbate&defid=4507347[^]
 
Having had the "pleasure" of the aroma of unwashed leg from when my ankle cast was taken off, I can only image that left for a few weeks in a nice warm place... Dead | X|
If you get an email telling you that you can catch Swine Flu from tinned pork then just delete it. It's Spam.

That's sick since the cast would be filthy. It's official, that site is wacko.

GeneralRe: Can't decide whether to laugh or cry. PinmvpOriginalGriff11 Jan '13 - 0:55 
It's not the site that's wacko, it's the sick buggers that had the idea in the first place.
 
Still, as long as I don't have to shake hands with them...

The particularly horrible things get taken down rather quickly. If you want a real problem with them I suggest the bible re-translation they're working on, as apparently the current versions are too liberal and interesting.
 
Or as they put it, pealing away the political bias. Of the bible. They're working from the KJV at that.
 
Right now the site owner appears to be on bit of a Tim Tebow bender rather than making horrible statements on his own site. Personally, I watched him play recently, and give up two defensive touchdowns within just about a minute. Tebow's problem isn't liberal bias.

I don't do religion.
 
Good cover, a clear line of sight, a smooth trigger, and a good supply of ammo. Those are my religion.

No religion involved there. Just hard facts and common sense.

oxymoronic phrase? aren't touchdowns by definition and by nature offensive?

Anyway, this site is pretty fun IMO. They're serious enough that they try to find evidence to support their position, but in doing so they often end up disproving (or at least damaging) their own position.

Stumbled upon it while googling, never seen it before.
 
At first I thought it was satire, but I'm not sure it's meant to be..

But it's not satire afaik. Fun fact: you can get banned from editing if you're so conservative that they start thinking you're trying to make fun of them.

One thing that gets on my mind a lot is the american way of hijacking political definitions.
Those people aren't conservative, conservative means that they want to keep things like they are.
They are radical per definition.
And most of the right wing people in the US are actually liberal.
And a lot of those calling themselves liberal aren't.

I am with you on this!
 
It drives me nuts when people talk about being conservative and wanting to ban abortion or add some regulation. First off, that is a change so it is not conservative. Secondly it even goes against the idea of small government (which is another hijacked definition of conservative).
 
Seems to me this is why politics are so messed up in the States. One side bootstraps an ideology they could never get pushed with one they believe will not fail.
Democrats tend to take social equality issues and bootstrap the idea of everyone getting taxed to death.
Republicans take the idea of limiting government growth and taxes and bootstrap social inequality.
 
If it wasn't for their strangle hold on each branch other parties would have destroyed them with the removal of this bootstrapping.
Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

Amazing! I have never seen anything so amazingly correct! Wow! It's just amazing how they hit the nail on the head again and again!
 
But wait! Read it again in within the next ten minutes and it will be twice as amazing for the same price! (Shipping & handling extra).

Did you see the dinosaur page?

Quote:
many of the fossilized dinosaur bones originated during the mass killing of the Flood, and that possibly some descendants of those dinosaurs taken aboard the Ark are still around today.

 
Damn true! Roll eyes | :rolleyes:
