why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

I like the way they formatted that to make it look like some Benjamin Franklin shit. By the way, Benjamin Franklin actually DID write lots of life advice (see his autobiography) and it's generally pretty kick-ass. If people restricted their FB inspiration rectangles to B-Frank quotes we wouldn't be having this thread.

yeah it's kinda funny to think back that FB at one time wasn't a place where you merely splattered memes all over your Timeline every day.

For what it's worth, I never see anything like this stuff on my feed. I think FB looks very different depending on your age. 40-year-olds don't meme, as far as I can tell.

well, my page doesn't look like that so much anymore because you can set settings by individual, so most of the people who used to put those shitty eCards up every day, I either unfollowed or limited to just status updates showing in my feed.

such a great feature.

all my friends are dead

Neanderthal, you can't unfollow or limit the updates! We need them for this thread.

Life'S too ShoRt

the "sadness is a waste of time" advice reminded me of this.

Most of the stuff like this that I see is from my aunt, who is right around 80, and whom I couldn't bear to put on block. Presumably lots of people that I've long since switched to "only show important posts" are clicking share on shit like this all the time.

Life's too $hort and the earth is your impala and whatever you want is the fly way to make money

hey this seems like fun :(

not fun when the same 3 people do it 17 times and everybody picks the same boring actors.

one of my favorite old people shares the daily status updates from Joel Osteen and all the pro-Paula Deen macros
I wish I could block just the shared stuff, but that's not an option.

someone I was casual friends w/ used to share the Osteen shit, gave up and unfriended them and set fire to their house iirc

so apparently it was an attempt to start a meme. wow. great meme guys.

"apparently sarcasm doesn't translate well over the internet". sure it does - when you actually use it.

weird thing is that it was July 4, 0 A.D. when Marty McFly went back in time and nearly ruined his parents' courtship.

I heard it was 0 B.C.

Libyans fault iirc

If you're proud of who you are & don't give two shits, you're constipated.

that looks like a bad photocopy of an original document. hate to think someone spent the time to print this out

Was going to compliment them on getting the you're, it's, and they're right, but I see they did miss one ("you're mind"). Still, a pretty good job in that respect.

:D

I share Fear's view of Xmas

ok not really, but only when thinking of it in July

Is it just me, or is that a particularly bad drawing of Pluto?

Pluto's tail is just plain ridiculous.

'shop

maybe it's a ringworm

A 173 days.

Come on.

The "a" implies a "the excruciating wait will go faster if we think of it as a single massive block of time broken up neither by sleep nor showers!" approach

or it implies that whoever wrote it uses articles to differentiate between "hundred seventy three", "a hundred seventy three", and "the hundred seventy three"

the magnificent hundred seventy three

An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.

The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan".. All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).

After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little.

The second test average was a D! No one was happy.
When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F.

As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else.

To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. Could not be any simpler than that. (Please pass this on) These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:

1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!

5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Can you think of a reason for not sharing this?
Neither could I.

just chilling in class at my college for smart ppl, talking about obama's socialism

I would repost that but I have to leave to go pick up my free money that Obama gives me even though I never work because it is a thing that exists.

Though obviously it is a fake because all college professors are hyper-liberal radical socialist elitists amiright?

In North Korea, trespassers are shot on contact. In America, they give you house, job, food stamps, etc. And you wonder why we are in debt! Like if you agree!

2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.

lol you could make this exact same point while arguing FOR socialism

Good thing that never happens in capitalism
