and pretentious minds use that quote
[QUOTE=Bathtub;49861702]and pretentious minds use that quote[/QUOTE] Damn dude that was uncalled for
i am sorry but every time i see someone use that quote they're always a tool theres nothing wrong with what you (blazedol) said, the quote that lurker posted was something completely different
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;49861559]"Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people." Very simplified quote but the GIST of it is solid[/QUOTE] I see (the worst) of the EU referendum "out" campaigners every day discussing ideas that are fucking moronic because they see a little and take a lot from it. The fact the end of the British empire coincides with the end of the UK joining the EU to within a few decades is all these people need to know to believe a half-baked theory like "the EU ruined this country!11 everything was going so great before that!1" Heres the only quote you'll ever need: [img]http://mrholmes.pbworks.com/w/page/23905811/f/buddhacaroline%3Aannie.jpg[/img] Done reading yet? Good. Buddha never said it. Quotes are bullshit and repeating them as a mantra is the lowest form of intelleuctalism next to having to announce you're an intellectual.
Unrelated but Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door is the best Mario game ever made and top 5 nintendo games ever made

When it comes to [quote]This is like filling up your house with trash because you're too lazy to tidy up and once it's full you move.[/quote], we're going to have a long, painful downfall if we never consider colonization anyways. We can't control trash, we're always going to need to use resources. Besides, if Earth is full of trash, moving it out of your way doesn't get rid of it, and burning it/relying on recycling is only going to create more pollution.

Beaches are overrated and boring. Wow, can't wait to wade into some smelly, murky water and get sand in my asscheeks. I lacerated my foot on a razor sharp piece of shell and it stings like hellfire. My urethra is burning in the water and I don't know why. The population of beach goers consists of 55% tanned, leathery-hided living fossils, 25% of out-of-state families and their shitty kids, mostly from 'South Dah-ko-da' or 'Whiss-con-sun'; 15% are either A. super steroidal men showing off their mishapen physique or B. Ladies in sexy bathing attire that I try not to ogle at for fear of getting group A. to kick my ass and 5% are the beached carcasses of man-o'-wars. The partitions in the walls of the stalls in the bathrooms are way too wide; someone is going to be able to see me take a shit just by idly passing me. I wash myself under an ice cold shower water but still track sand into my car and have it all up my thighs.
[QUOTE=Sector 7;49863614]Quoting famous figures is a blatant appeal to authority[/QUOTE] I see it more as a way to show that someone reputable holds the same opinion I have. It isn't like it's any difficult to find quotes from famous people which disagree with one another, and most quotes are pretty eloquent and clever.

Probably because I am seemingly allergic to wearing anything besides socks and shoes when I go outside, but sand isn't great to walk on and coarse rough gets everywhere etc. Also, sea water is gross. All salty and warm and sometimes crawling with sea lice.

The technology developed to create and sustain a 'colony' (research base) on Mars would greatly benefit the people living on Earth. We currently have the technology to sustain around 11 billion people on Earth last I read about it, advances in hydroponics and greenhouse farming for a Mars base would greatly increase the capacity for production on Earth. Leaving Earth should be an eventual goal, not because we're doomed to destroy it (we're going to fuck over many of the animals but if we keep up our reforms we should be okay) but because expanding beyond Earth eventually could allow us to live on as a species even if we get wiped out by something. Even a natural disaster like a meteor wiping the surface of life. Also there's nothing to stop us exploring space, exploring the oceans, and fixing Earth up to not be a smog filled shithole. There are 7+ billion of us, we can multitask.

What's more likely is that civilization will rot and break down and return to simpler conditions for a few centuries before rebuilding. This process could easily repeat itself indefinitely without us managing to maintain a permanent colony on a planet extremely unsuited to human life

Listening to some of Trump's speeches, he is actually a really good speaker (as in easy to follow and listen to) and is entertaining. Which is probably a major reason why he is so popular.
[QUOTE=The golden;49865233]Trump is a TV personality. It's what he's been doing for years. He makes for good TV, especially really dirty and controversial TV. The really sad, disturbing, and downright fucking scary part is the US people think that someone who makes for good TV drama should be president of one of the most powerful countries in the world. The rest of the world is so goddamn tired of sitting here shitting ourselves every US election when bumbling buffoons like Trump actually somehow manage to get substantial amounts of popularity.[/QUOTE] If Hillary gets elected things will be status quo but with some added corruption, if Trump wins expect the USA to declare war on Mozambique because the name sounds silly.
I actually enjoyed Hot Tub Time Machine 2, while it has a score of 29 on Metacritic.
Facepunch is bizarrely socially conservative in places.
Facepunch and the news is so desperate to insult Trump that people will take one word he said and make an article about it then complain when he's getting attention(Which they gave him). Never mind the fact that he doesn't want Muslims in the country or that he wants a foreign nation to pay for a wall to keep their citizens out. Nah let's make fifty billion articles about a candidate saying that Trump has a small penis
Hey are we still on Pizza because black olives are the shit. Is that unpopular? Doesn't matter because I'm here to represent those salty delicious bastards.

[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;49866843]The only good place for onions is in the bottom of a compost bin.[/QUOTE] I think you mistyped; I believe you mean to say "me" when you instead said "onions"
how do you people think onions are shit? they're in almost everything. do you not like soup? or marinara sauce? or worcestershire sauce? or ketchup? or gravy? or stuffing?
