“100 guys got together...

“100 guys got together and ordered a pizza cut into 100 slices. The first guy took 80 slices. When someone then suggested he only take 79 slices, the first guy yelled, ‘That’s socialism!’

"America Is Like....

“America is like a dog. I’m sorry, but it is. It cannot understand actual words. It understands inflection, it understands fear, but you can’t actually explain issues to a dog.”

- Bill Maher

i have recently watched his movie Religilous, and while in the very beginning i thought he was being very harsh and unfair in the end i came to the conclusion that 1. he has the right to be the way he is 2. he has the right to be aggressive and borderline insulting because being nice does not keep the crazies from being insulting and aggressive. i guess with time i realize you can not be nice. you can not just take the punches because the people that think it is alright to punch you in the first place will not recognize the nobility of pacifism. i enjoy listening to him even though sometimes his words make me cringe. and its hard to know why the make me cringe. is it because i do not agree with him? or is it because he says something i do not have the nerve to even think? or maybe he is completely wrong and we are all going to hell because of it =D

“I don’t understand this...

“I don’t understand this election and I don’t understand the electorate. I mean, this country is hurting in a way we haven’t since the Depression. People are struggling all over this country and they came out and voted for the party that says right out front that they will suspend your unemployment benefits and repeal healthcare. To go against your self-interest more, you’d have to literally go fuck yourself.”
