Question of the day.

gadfly said...: Not sure what happened - there were were comments just a few minutes ago on this thread that is no more. So i guess it is time to quote Geoge Carlin in his backward way.

“The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last nine months floating...

...and you finish off as an orgasm.”; 4/24/12, 10:44 AM

ndspinelli said...: More liberals..more women! Women are the ones w/ orgasm problems. Men can orgasm in their sleep!; 4/24/12, 10:45 AM
SteveR said...: Sure worked for Obama in 2008; 4/24/12, 10:50 AM
Scott M said...: If it could, you'd find a lot more liberals on this blog.

Liberals don't much care for orgasms. They're either so unhappy they can't achieve one, or they've had so many they consider them cliche at best, self-centered jingoism at worst.

Besides, you can't look after the little guy when he's impaling some obvious rape victim.; 4/24/12, 10:53 AM
bagoh20 said...: There is a beauty to conservatism. An understanding and appreciation of symbiosis and close personal support combined with the raw power and excitement of individuality.

Yes! Yes! Yes!!! I gotta go.; 4/24/12, 10:57 AM
Pastafarian said...: leslyn, most liberals prefer to reach their internet orgasms arranged in a circle with other liberals.

It's a shame, really. I wish we had more liberals here in the comments, and I do appreciate the few we do have.; 4/24/12, 10:58 AM
Ron said...: If you've more than 4 years of idealistic electile dysfunction, please select a new candidate...; 4/24/12, 11:00 AM
Robert said...: Hell with the question. Let's hear the answer.; 4/24/12, 11:02 AM
Pastafarian said...: By the way, leslyn -- you never really responded to my hypothetical. You just called it unserious.

I'd like to amend my previous statement: I appreciate the few liberals that we have here, when they actually make arguments and participate...what's the phrase? In good faith, I think that's how it goes.

Just dismissing a hypothetical out of hand really doesn't advance the conversation.; 4/24/12, 11:04 AM
X said...: sounds like what a lefty asks his mirror; 4/24/12, 11:08 AM
Dose of Sanity said...: Haha, the comments on this thread make me laugh. I didn't even read the linked article

Conservatives - claiming God, moral high ground, and sex and not blinking an eye while doing it.; 4/24/12, 11:20 AM
Lyle said...: Hope and change did not make me cum. It's going to be kicked out of bed come November.; 4/24/12, 11:24 AM
Wince said...: MadisonMan said...
It seems to me that if you do your job well, a Company won't care about your transition, or your race, or your whatever...

Is my idealism giving you an orgasm?

That sounds like pragmatism to me.

Idealism is expecting actual justice to come from the EEOC's highly political, ever-expanding definition of "sex discrimination".; 4/24/12, 11:28 AM
Dust Bunny Queen said...: "Hey--is that a pistol in your pocket, or are you just jacking off?"

Nope....reloading.; 4/24/12, 11:40 AM
ndspinelli said...: Lyle, How about Palin?; 4/24/12, 11:41 AM
damikesc said...: Conservatives - claiming God, moral high ground, and sex and not blinking an eye while doing it.

How adorable. A Progressive thinks God hates sex.

...making it pleasurable -- baffling choice by Him, huh? The whole "necessary to continue the species" thing? I guess He messed up, huh?; 4/24/12, 12:07 PM
Patrick said...: Conservatives - claiming God, moral high ground, and sex and not blinking an eye while doing it.

Uh, Dose, I'm not sure why that would confuse you. Plus, I don't think that particular commenter would even call himself a conservative. Maybe you were laughing too hard.; 4/24/12, 12:35 PM
edutcher said...: Somebody tell Dose of Salts all the pollsters say Conservatives and Republicans have more sex, better sex, and happier sex than the Lefties.

Probably because they have God and the moral high ground.; 4/24/12, 1:08 PM
Lyle said...: ndspinelli,

hmm... hope and change was that President Palin's message to America in 2008?; 4/24/12, 1:11 PM

Unwitting thread winner.; 4/24/12, 1:53 PM
ndspinelli said...: No Lyle..but did she make you cum?? That was my point. Geez!; 4/24/12, 2:03 PM
Lyle said...: ndspinelli,

You need to think a little bit more before you post here. How can Sarah Palin have made me cum if I'm only in bed with Barack Obama and his hope and change? He's the President I voted for and the guy who won the election.

Sarah Palin is entirely irrelevant, and so is whatever your point is.; 4/24/12, 2:25 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: I thought this was a Secret Service kiss and tell thread..

(I'm being facetious.. I read the back and forth this morning.. Usually I would just use an emoticon ;) but I'm cutting back.. I think I was an emoticon abuser); 4/24/12, 2:26 PM
ndspinelli said...: Sorry Lyle, I didn't know you were gay. How insensitive of me.; 4/24/12, 3:23 PM
ndspinelli said...: And, based on your comment Lyle how the fuck would I KNOW for whom you voted? It's vague @ best. Maybe you were being sarcastic, I don't know. The post is about orgasm and the ONLY person who has ever been on a ticket who could give me an orgasm is Palin, she's pretty and sexy. Get out of your little world.; 4/24/12, 3:26 PM
Lyle said...: ndspinelli,

Is there something wrong with being gay?

Homophobic you are. ;)

Still don't know you asked me about Palin. Did I ever mention Palin in my first comment? No I didn't, so I still don't why you're going on about Palin.; 4/24/12, 4:05 PM
Lyle said...: leslyn,

You wouldn't like to crawl on top of Rubio or Scott Brown.

Grade A beefcake if you ask me.; 4/24/12, 4:23 PM
ndspinelli said...: Never mind Lyle, "It's like trying to tell a stranger about rock n' roll." Apparently, if you've never had an orgasm this is an obscure post. And, if you're humorless then you're worthless in my eyes. But, you're right, I'm absolutely wrong, and I apologize for wasting your precious time and intellect.; 4/24/12, 5:56 PM
Lyle said...: ndspinelli,

Aww... someone should have never made a totally irrelevant comment about Palin. Aww.

Smooch, smooch, smooch.; 4/24/12, 6:29 PM
chickelit said...: Wow, the PDS-afflicted Lyle makes a first appearance on my radar and automatically goes on my shitlist.

Are you guys cloned somewhere?

Please decyst.; 4/24/12, 7:50 PM
Lyle said...: chickenlittle,

Ha... you make lists of people.; 4/24/12, 8:21 PM
Penny said...: "Did I ever mention Palin in my first comment? No I didn't, so I still don't why you're going on about Palin."

Lyle, spinelli's just "pallin'"...in a lonely, Althousian kinda way.; 4/24/12, 8:21 PM
Penny said...: "Palling", as in trying to make a new online friend who'll give him back just a little bit of what he just gave you.

ATTENTION

If that feels passive-aggressive, it's because it is! lol; 4/24/12, 8:27 PM
Penny said...: Let me interpret for you, Lyle.

Spinelli wants you to "stick around".

And not because he wants to beat you up verbally, which he can, but more likely that he knows you can beat him down verbally, TOO.; 4/24/12, 8:35 PM
Penny said...: Lyle, it was meant as a compliment, spinelli-style.; 4/24/12, 8:37 PM
Penny said...: NO yolk.

Enter with eyes wide open.; 4/24/12, 8:39 PM
ndspinelli said...: Penny, You get me!! I love to take it as much as give it out. Too many just can do the latter. I know chickenlittle gets me, and leslyn may also. Lyle, probably never.; 4/25/12, 9:56 AM
bbkingfish said...: "...all the pollsters say Conservatives and Republicans have more sex, better sex, and happier sex than the Lefties."

Yes. That's because Republicans and Conservatives are bigger, more flamboyant liars.

Sex and politics are two fields where they use their skill as prevaricators to enhance their own reputations.; 4/25/12, 10:05 AM
