The What’s What, Volume 14

You are stupid.  Being immortal would be the most TERRIFYING and HORRIBLE thing EVER. Even after everything else is gone, you’d be there. Just sort of existing. Forever. By yourself. In the nothingness. -BubbleHero

Everyone has this warped view of what a human immortal could withstand.  To reject the given option of more life goes beyond stupidity.

A friend of mine recently broke up with her abusive boyfriend who had to have been completely insane. He’d stalk her and call her a dumb whore, etc etc. Then he’d write her a love letter and stick it on her door, only to call her a disgusting whore later and she’d end up with bruises and shit on her.  What the hell runs through these dirtbags minds? -Officerberus

It’s an unpopular opinion, but you have to add in the blame that comes with allowing it to happen more than once.  As far as I’m concerned, if he hits you, and you go back, you are validating future abuse.

My boss just asked me for some good porn sites, what should I tell him? -DSFanboy

“Just check the browsing history on my work computer.”

I just saw a hobo with a sign that read: “FAMILY KILLED BY DARK WIZARDS. NEED HOGWARTS MONEY” -Officerberus

There was a guy in Kenmore Square station (Boston) who’d sit wayyyyyyyyyyyy down the end of the platform and sing Cat Stevens’ “Peace Train”.  Only instead of “Peace Train” he sang the name of the train coming for the platform.

“C-Train sounding louder, Y’all gonna ride the C train! *clap clap*
Oooo Aaa Eee Aaa OOo AaAAA They ride the C train! *clap clap*”

I gave that dude a buck a day. He recognized me and would tip his hat to me.  I love hobos with wit.

When discussing politics, I prefer not to speak much. Not because I don’t like it, but rather… that I think I understand politics to some extent, but I’m always afraid that I’m touching the tip of the iceberg and if I were to speak about what I really feel is true, I’d be either owned majorly by someone who really knows politics, or just seem like an idiot to everyone and never taken seriously again. -SnoConz

I don’t do politics anymore.  Your reasons never stop anyone else from arguing what they think they know. Most conversations aren’t listened to, it’s just people waiting for a break to say what they’ve been planning to say while you were talking.  I sit silently just because I don’t respect anyone who gets so passionate over things they don’t exert any effort to change.

if you could trade your penis for a vagina for a weekend would you? -Holden-Cauliflower

A weekend? Sure. Two days of a new experience sounds fun.  It would have to be on a weekend I wasn’t menstruating.  Can I take Friday off to buy vegetables?

I don’t understand why people want a quick and painless death It’s the last experience you’ll have on this Earth. Your dying so why does the pain matter? Don’t you want to feel all that you can before life as you understand it is over? -KOGin

So why don’t you just spend your life slowly torturing yourself?  If you want the most “experience of feelings” or whatever garbage you called it, why wait until death to start the pain train?  Just punch yourself in the face every few minutes from now until you die if you really think thats such a great idea.

i hate people who think piercings are a form of self expression i’m pro-piercing than most, but like honestly, people should get over themselves. self-expression? lol. what does it express, other than that you like having metal in there.  THERE’S NO SELF EXPRESSION IN THIS CRAP. it’s a friggin needle through a body part.  -GingerSpectacles

I always assumed “self-expression” was the crutch-phrase for “shock value”.

I don’t like when the Colbert Report has serious guests that really expect to talk about their book. Then they get pissy when Colbert talks over them or cracks a joke. What do you expect? You’re not on a real news program. -InnocentAssassin

Worse yet are the people who think they are just as funny as him.

Truly though, Colbert is a tough host to find yourself with. Hes always coming out of nowhere with something, though funny, has completely gotten the interview off-track with its skewed logic.

His comedy forces the subject to change a lot. It’s a tough thing to go on his show. But when Sorry for the novel. I didn’t know I thought this way until now.a good interview happens, with Neils Degrasse-Tyson, or the Asian astrophysicist (I forget his name, sorry) with the long hair, everyone is able to learn something by pointing out curious misnomers in the topic itself.
