Facebook is very gay. If that wasn't the easiest way to connect with some of my friends across the country I wouldn't use it.

my friends are all SO ticked off I don't have a facebook page. I HATE social networking sites. There is nothing it has to offer me accept that so many people I know are there.

I will probably cave and make one soon.

Subject: The Ant and Grasshopper - Two Different Morals (Updated)

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

This one is a little different... . Two Different Versions.... .......... .... Two Different Morals

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OLD VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away..

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter,

so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MODERN VERSION

The ant works hard in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving.

CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show

up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the

ant in his comfortable home

with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast.

How can this be, that in a country of

such wealth, this poor grasshopper

is allowed to suffer so?

Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah

with the grasshopper and every-

body cries when they sing,

'It's Not Easy Being Green.'

ACORN stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations

film the group singing, "We shall overcome." Then Rev. Jeremiah

Wright has the group kneel

down to pray to God for

the grasshopper's sake.

President Obama condemns the ant and blames President Bush, President

Reagan, Christopher Columbus,

and the Pope for the

grasshopper's plight.

Nancy Pelosi & Harry Reid exclaim in an interview with Larry King that the ant

has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call for an

immediate tax hike on the ant to

make him pay his fair share.

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs and, having nothing left

to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government

Green Czar and given to

the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house

he is in, which, as you recall, just

happens to be the ant's old

house, crumbles around

them because the

grasshopper

doesn't maintain it.

The ant has disappeared in the snow,

never to be seen again.

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is

taken over by a gang of spiders who

terrorize the ramshackle, once

prosperous and once peaceful,

neighborhood.

The entire Nation collapses bringing

the rest of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Be careful how you vote in 2010.

People from my past are finding me through my sisters, funny. I will NOT have one.

FUCK facebook TOP

That is the best top ever!!

[dem beats 1,223]

You may have Sean I could have missed it.

You put the one about the little girls BDay party. The "welcome to the republican party" one. I told that on new years as a joke to the mother in law.

She works for the school district.

the most horrible part about face book is it can come back to haunt you. Say you apply for a job and someone ELSE other than you posts something that you didn't know about. Boom instant Black List from being hired. It's BS.

Under the rader for me. I would only use face book if my goal was to be in marketing so I could have a bajillion people know me instantly and a market to show things too. It's only for buisness and not for making/being friends.

#1 reason I don't use Facebook

My mom loves it though, since she grew up about 600 miles away from here she can chat with her friends and family up there, its quite nice

what yall think about the republican winning the senate seat in Massachusetts?

[dem beats 1,223]

When you think neoconservitism do you think that it's an oppressive push to force other countries/peoples to be conservitive?

Force beign the key word.

[dem beats 1,223]

Finally the yankees made a move in the right (get it right hehehehehhehe) direction?

[dem beats 1,223]

my bad joke killed the HOP....

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

It seems like some is going through Jay-cee's posts and putting negative on the rep stuff.

Seeing the negative 1 annoys me lol

I just made a topic about this, I can turn off the negative votes.

[topgun 262]

what yall think about the republican winning the senate seat in Massachusetts?

Here is my opinion.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

your ghey..

Far from it, and it's you're.

Grammar ownage

Wonderbread is the grammar ninja.

[Tmax98 3]

what yall think about the republican winning the senate seat in Massachusetts?

Here is my opinion.

same here

hopefully they can shoot down the health care reform program. I feel if that passes this country is fucked! excuse my french

Pretty much the biggest fuck you obama could get. Losing ted k's seat really hurts. Personally I love it, the balance was jacked in a way that already cost me personally 10k a year.

[///M5 2,833]

If we keep the rep system put the usage guide in the t and c's and if it isn't followed warn/ban

Or renove it. I do like to be able to mark posts as shit and to x2 without saying it but the running totals can be misleading especially with assholes on the site

Never understood why we can't focus just on the issue which are the uninsured. Helping the lazybe more so is idiotic

Force beign the key word.

When I think neoconservativism I think jingoism, imperialism, and social conservatism
