Things That are Scary

I heard MoveOn.org was hiring.

She can always write a book and sell it to Kardashian fans. I'm sure they would much rather buy her thoughts than Kim's latest whatever the **** she sells. Or maybe she can try a line of male repellent perfume. Population control is always a big seller. Look how rich the Nazis got. People were lining up for some of that.

March Madness when one of your brackets could win ESPN's Tournament Challenge and the team you need to win for that to happen is currently in 2OT after throwing away the win.....

Just win Northern Iowa.

Edit: Damn.

my gender studies degree is NOT useless!!!!

Has it got ya laid?

 

[Lejuan]

The kind of laid a gender studies degree might get me I'm pretty sure I won't want.

I heard the same thing was becoming a problem in Europe. Free college is turning out a lot of useless degrees.

Liberal Arts degrees are practically a waste of time and money now days. Besides, you know more Philosophy than a lot of the undergrads I knew at my college (I minored in Philosophy).

Crazy that the jobs would go where the degrees are.

I went to a large State university. The freshman Mechanical Engineering classes usually started out with around 150 students, but progressively trickle down over the years as people continue to drop out of the major. When I finally graduated, there were only 38 kids (including myself) who were getting Mech degrees .

By contrast, I had about 700 scientists staying at the hotel last weekend for a conference. Ecologists.

About 20 of them crammed into an elevator and got stuck. Fire department had to get them out. Some drunken ******** comes to the desk afterwards telling me he should get his night free for that. I told him he'd be fortunate if we didn't charge him for the emergency call. He said it wasn't his fault because they didn't go over the 3000lb capacity. Uh huh. That's why the elevator **** the bed. Go science me some federal grants, you knuckle dragging grievance hustler.

Those who can't, teach. Those who can't teach, ecology.

Everyone loses brain cells with a good drunk.

He probably didn't even have to pay for the room to begin with.

 

[devilof76]

It wasn't the stupidity that bothered me so much as the dishonesty and irresponsibility.

And they were paying for it. People who look for excuses to not pay their bills disgust me.

(And obviously, it has nothing to do with being a professional in marine biology or related fields.)

 

[Mr. Green]

People who get their photo photoshoped/edited to have their dead friend/relative/other on their photo:

Mother who wanted haunting photos of her dead daughter is now charged with murder

 

[The Ween]

Well, there's nothing wrong with that if that's what you want, but those parents are pigs and the photographer didn't know at the time they had killed their kid.

I'm betting it's something at the school they picked up. Could be something new.

I can't disagree with anything he's saying from that vid. If even the experts weren't able to debunk what was going on, I won't try to do it, either. It's pretty interesting that all of the girls who had hallucinations and seizures saw a dark man chasing them. Malaysia's known for having freaky things going on there, too.

Everyone should absolutely stay away from Ouija boards and having public buildings next to (or on top) of cemeteries is just asking for trouble. My old history teacher from high school once said, that many of the worst schools (in terms of crime) in New York are located next graveyards.

 

[Lejuan]

The most horrifying part of that video is the guy saying he "definitely believes that evil spirits exist".

 

[fosing]

i lost it when he mentioned "she felt like a dark figure enter her body".

one can imagine...

 

[Lejuan]

if god exists couldnt that mean spirits exist too?

Depends on what you mean by 'god'.

If you accept that there is an interventionist god, then you'll accept the possibility of spirits.

Notice how spirits don't seem to bother with atheists. You think it's "weird and creepy" that this happens so much in Latin countries? I think it makes perfect sense.

 

[Solidus]

Many people around the globe have experiences with the paranormal - religious people and atheists alike. For the things that can't be disproved, you'd have to reply on your own interpretation of said events.

 

[Solidus]

Having a belief in something is independent of its existence. Anything that exists, will continue exist, regardless of your belief (or disbelief) in its existence. Conversely, anything that does not exist, will continue in its state of non-existence, regardless of your belief (or disbelief) in its non-existence.

On another note, I've known people who don't believe in God (but come from a religious background), and have had paranormal experiences in their lives that couldn't explain.

 

[YoNoSe]

I find people who think they have all the answers scary.
