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

if you do not have a job, we will give you a job. then, you must get a job.

Job job JOB, job. Job? Job job.

if you have a job we will give you all the smokes and whisky

"Gov't subsistence"

sounds about right.

Addicted to the shindig? Stopping implants and a job.

Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their "self esteem," consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.

CONSIDER THIS, BATMAN! *throws a smoke bomb, concealing economic & social realities*

military barracks and cleaning trash up by the roadside kinda sounds like something else than welfare...
Don't like prison? Get a job!

Amazing facts #3: between October 2008 and October 2009, approximately 8 million lazy, shiftless, good-for-nothing Americans suddenly decided they didn't want to work for a living any more and decided to live off govenment handouts instead, bcz... free Ho-Hos!!

Presumably the government handouts thing excludes politicians, CEO's & board members of corporations that get mad subsidies, etc.

Though having Lloyd Blankfein live in a barracks and have to keep a list of all his possessions and clean up trash on the roadside does sound good.

One thing I agree with is that we shouldn't be paying for other people's mistakes. By all means, hand a bill for mass unemployment, loan defaults, and economic recession directly to the financial institutions that torpedoed the economy in the first place.

"We racists have learned to not expect much from 21 year olds, especially GIRLS, but I think this one actually gets what being racist is all about"

Subject to inspections at any time? Mandatory sterilisation?

Small government?

asking questions? get a job

I feel like this has shown up from 20 people on FB - mostly Jesus freaks from high school but some people who should know better.

I appreciate the thoughts in this post (and do agree!) but I find it a bit funny & thought-provoking that you decided to illustrate this post with pictures of your boys (?) in their swim suits. They are good-looking young guys and of course that is perfectly normal and acceptable for them to be in their swim trunks, but couldn’t a young teenage girl looking at that with friends be led to talk about them looking “hot” or whatever if they were popping up in their instagram account? (My oldest is an almost 10 year old girl who has no interest in boys, so not too sure yet how teen girls think!) I really want to know if this could be an issue for some girls (or guys) or not really.

If you are friends with a Hall boy on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter, then you are friends with the whole Hall family.

And now – big bummer – we have to block your posts. Because, the reason we have these (sometimes awkward) family conversations around the table is that we care about our sons, just as we know your parents care about you.

The slut shaming and sexual politics were off the charts, but these were the sentences that stood out as creepiest.
I know things have changed since I was in high school but if my parents had insisted on this level of intrusion into my private life I would have gone insane.

it funny cause compared to the porn yr sons are watching online these facebook pics dont really sound like bannable offenses

lol i guess that there are vast swaths of people - basically all the commenters in that article - who don't see this post as egregiously sexist

they're called "Christians"

and/or 'morons'

Devil's advocate, if I had teenage kids, would I not end up worrying about 'those types of girls/boys' or 'that type of behaviour', even though, as we all know, that type of behaviour is normal + we've all done it or a version of it?

What I mean is, the pressure and stress of running a family and keeping it together might lead one to several dodgy conclusions and if you then happened to be the one dodgy-conclusion-haver who blogged these conclusions you might look more mad than you actually are.

For normal read 'harmless'. People putting slightly sexy facebook pictures up is no big deal, is it?

i don't think i would pathologize teenage flirtiness like this woman does, no

also, the main premise of her post is something like "if boys see you as sexy they won't see you as a human being as well because these things are incompatible. worry about what boys think of you." that has to do with sexism not with over-protectiveness, i think

ur not ready 4 this jelly

I'm sorry ma'am, but I am a teenage girl and my parents do not care about me. Your son has been a positive influence in my life and I am starting to learn self-confidence through conversations with him, but no you've cut me off. You seem like you could have been a role model, but now I will never meet you.

Signed,
Teenage girl who had the nerve to wear a bikini

on the whole i think a searchable list of people who need to be exterminated on the way to a better world is a useful thing

yikes

seriously dude i'm opening my mental killfile from now but i'm baffled as to why somebody who appears to have absorbed ILX history so much doesn't understand what a fucking awful poster they are

education vs intelligence

great stuff. bye.

hello Treeship, i don't think you're an awful poster, in fact i enjoy your contributions to ilx very much. i hope the video i posted didn't seem insensitive.

i appreciate that, bends.

Dunno why people are calling treeship an awful poster, don't think they shd be

So tempting to post 'SIKE! You Suck!' here, but i mean it, you're one of the best.xp

I was going to contribute to your Melancholia vs. Another Earth thread but i've never seen Another Earth and i can't remember what it was i was going to say about Melancholia. I might post something tomorrow if it comes back to me.

thanks. yeah, i'd love to hear your thoughts on melancholia, but if you liked that film i recommend you try to see another earth asap. both of these films deal with apocalyptic anticipation in a much more human way than anything else i've seen; i think it's natural to discuss them alongside one another.

pretty cool pro-bacon anti-islam crossover here:

meanwhile i'd forgotten how funky that song is. and the incredible bongo break.

have you noticed the ratio of ppl saying the word bacon vs ppl shutting the fuck up & just eating it more or less equals their level of stupidity

things that make you go mmmmmm.....

Was NV actually talking about Treeship, I am confused
