News From the House of Stupid

How is this news? Fish houses get robbed, that's why sane people don't leave valuable there. A cooler, a chair or two, and a couple of rods or rattle reels are the most that should be left out on the lake. A freaking big screen T.V.?

You're too stupid for nice things.

Quote of the Day

The Israelis have been warning you that this was coming if you continue your cross border rocket attacks. Egypt has been imploring you to stop firing rockets into Israel, but you ignored our words. We have been urging you to renew the cease-fire with Israel, but you refused. You have brought this upon yourselves. You are responsible for what is happening to the people of Gaza.

-Egyptian Foreign Minister, Ahmed Aboul Gheit

Stupidity Reigns Supreme

What would the world do with no idiots?

ST. PAUL (AP) ― A scorned 21-year-old told her ex-boyfriend that he couldn't prove she was the one who vandalized his apartment on three occasions -- but then, police say, she posted a picture of the damage on MySpace.

Mmmmm, people......

TSU, Japan — The ability to discern good wine from bad, name the specific brand from a tiny sip and recommend a complementary cheese would seem to be about as human a skill as there is.
>In Japan, robots are doing it.



When a reporter's hand was placed against the robot's taste sensor, it was identified as prosciutto. A cameraman was mistaken for bacon.

Yea! My TEOTWAWKI food needs are met. I make a killer barbecue sauce I can't wait to try on the neighbor. Yum.

Karma

Is it karma to die a year after getting an illegal sales tax pushed through to fund your private enterprise?

Just asking.

Stupid Ebay

Important changes to Feedback

Buyers, you can no longer receive negative or neutral Feedback from sellers.

You should leave honest and accurate Feedback without the fear of receiving negative or neutral ratings.

What's the motivation to sell on Ebay? Items get yanked for no reason, you can't leave negative feedback for scam buyers, and the fees are high. Why is this better than Craigslist?

When you kick a hornet's nest....

...you won't like the result.

Of course, the media bias is going to blame the hornet, instead of the petulant terrorist doing the kicking.

ATTENTION GAZA! You got what you asked for, quit picking a fight.

Update: Stupid commenter:

Destruction of the mosques reminds me of the Bolsheviks in Russia...

...who also flattened as many churches as they could-- when they weren't busy torturing Orthodox priests and monks to death. Listen, good people of Minnesota, the rulers of Israel today are from the same group of atheistic monsters who took control of Russia in 1917. They turned the Soviet Union into a prison camp, just as they have done to Gaza today. If we don't stand up to them, tomorrow it will be our turn!

My response:

Moral relativism

Akorn, the Israel is RESPONDING to attacks. The Palestinians broke the truce that granted them what they have been demanding for decades. "Give us Gaza, and we'll behave." They are honorless and cowardly. They shoot rockets from schools, so they can get a PR win when Israel defends itself. They store rockets in mosques to make Israel look bad for not rolling over and dying.

Israel is warning the inhabitants of the target areas before destroying their targets. Israel is offering asylum to any Gaza resident who is sick of Hamas turning their new country into a crater.

Take your anti-semitism, moral relativism, and historic revisionism elsehwere.
