Animal Crossing was probably the first time I really understood the concept of not just debt, but being crushed by debt.

For the uninitiated, this is how Animal Crossing works: you, as a human, live in this little town that’s populated by anthropomorphic animals. It’s mostly randomly generated so each person’s town is slightly unique. When you first move in to your town, you’re given a house by the local merchant Tom Nook (the raccoon on the right). It isn’t until you’ve already moved in that he reveals to you that you’re indebted to him for 100,000 bells (the game’s currency) and he forces you to work in his store as an indentured servant. After a few days (literal. days.) worth of doing delivery work, you’re freed from your servitude but not from your debt. Thank goodness Tom Nook didn’t charge interest or your in-game circumstances would be that much more dire.

You do a bunch of random gathering to gain up money to pay back your loan and just when you think you’re finally free from the crushing weight of Tom Nook’s thumb… he adds a second story onto your house! And the cycle of debt begins again.

For most of your play-time with the game you’re not making money to do cool stuff like decorate your house or buy NES emulations; you’re just making money to pay off Tom “Fat Cat” Nook. Frankly it’s shocking how closely this goofy game populated by cartoon ducks and cats reflects the stark realities of modern living.

FUCK YOU MORGAN FREEMAN.

Every time I think of God he was in the image of Morgan Freeman. Not anymore. The same way that Billy Bob Thornton will always be Santa Claus to me. But now God, aka Morgan, has made a fucking racist comment. He says the Tea Party only wants to get “the black man” out of the White House. He called the Tea Party racist, well fuck you too. People want Obama out of a job because he sucks. He broke all his campaign promises and he sucks at being the president. Before any dumbasses chime in with, “but, but Bush”, shut the flying fuck up. Mr. Freeman keep making your shitty movies and keep your racist comments to yourself.

Even if you disagree with him calling the Tea Party racist, that is not a racist comment. That’s not how racism works.

-Joe

The awkward moment when somebody claims Tea Party is a race, and insulting them is racist…

…what.

1) When did calling someone out on being racist become racism

2) When did Tea Party become a race

3) Morgan Freeman has starred in some of the most universally praised films ever made

4) The Tea Party IS pretty racist

5) And sexist

6) And classist

7) And heterosexist

8) And cis-sexist

The slutwalk is fucking moronic and I’ll explain why.

Anti-rape advocates fall under the same category as the pro-life bitches, they’re people you wouldn’t wanna fuck in the first place.

• If you dress like a plumber, expect people to ask you to unclog shit.
• If you dress like a maid, expect to be asked to clean shit.
• If you dress like a WHORE expect to be TREATED like one.

I’m not condoning rape, by any means, no means no.  But if I am EVER witness to some woman dressing OVERLY promiscuous and bitching at someone for making off-color remarks towards her I will punch that bitch’s cunt until she cries.

And newsflash to all you dumb fucking bitches who ADVOCATE the slutwalk, please heed the following MYTHS/FACTS from The University of Minnesota:

Myth: Sexual assault is an impulsive, spontaneous act.

Fact: Most rapes are carefully planned by the rapist. A rapist will rape again and again, usually in the same area of town and in the same way.

Myth: Rape is a crime of passion.

Fact: Rape is an act of VIOLENCE, not passion. it is an attempt to hurt and humiliate, using sex as the weapon.

Myth: Rape is an impulsive, uncontrollable act of sexual gratification. Most rape are spontaneous acts of passion where the assailant cannot control him/herself.

FACT Rape is a premeditated act of violence, not a spontaneous act of passion. 71% of rapes are planned in advance. 60% of convicted rapists were married or had regular sexual partners at the time of the assault. Men can control their sexual impulses. The vast majority of rapists are motivated by power, anger, and control, not sexual gratification.

Source: The University of Minnesota

So sorry, I don’t know who is telling you that any man is capable of rape and will use your attire as an excuse, but they’re using a small percentage as an example.

Wowsers you are a misogynist shitstain and you completely missed the entire point, the whole goddamn entire fucking point, of slutwalks. They weren’t started because women were being raped because of what they were wearing, they were started because women were being accused of being partly to wholly at fault for being raped because of what they were wearing. They exist to protest the entire notion that women under any circumstances are “asking for it” because of their clothing. Oddly enough the statistics you’re throwing around reinforce the fact that women are not being assaulted because of their clothing (and by the way saying Source: The University of Minnesota is not a citation).

The shit that you’re spewing is at the heart of why slutwalks happen, because you place so much blame of the violence against women at their feet. Don’t explain to women how they should dress, explain to men that they shouldn’t be raping people, that they should receive consent in any and all situations.

So in conclusion, slutwalks are necessary because of fuckers like you.

-Joe

Also: Is this saying that every woman has to conform to the rapists’ social norms? Because you’re saying that anyone that can, in someone’s very subjective opinion, be construed as dressing “promiscuously” deserves to be raped? Because that’s like saying that because women in some culture don’t wear tops someone coming into that culture from elsewhere is not at fault for raping all of them.

Obvious fucking bullshit. You’re (OP) giving a subjective opinion on what is and isn’t promiscuous precedence over human decency. Way to fucking go.

How exactly does one dress promiscuously? They dress like they have numerous sexual partners? How can you even tell something like that from clothing? Teach me your magical fabric reading powers.

Paul Ryan, Herman Cain Push For Tax Increases On Middle Class

WASHINGTON — Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) said on Sunday that House Republicans would oppose President Barack Obama’s payroll tax cuts for both employers and employees, arguing that the policy had already failed to provide a sufficient boost to the economy. “It hasn’t worked,” Ryan said, suggesting the current temporary tax cut should be allowed to expire, which will amount to a 50 percent tax hike on workers making less than $106,000 per year.

He also said he opposes the president’s proposal to require millionaires to pay the same tax rate as the middle class, known as the Buffett plan. “Class warfare might make for good politics, but it makes for rotten economics,” Ryan said. (Read More.)

Because tax hikes are only okay when they are on the middle class. Right. NOW I understand.

A 50% tax hike on ME!? Are you fucking kidding me? I actually put money into this goddamn economy, you take 50% more of my money and that’s games, electronics, and food I can’t buy! I’m not hiding my money in offshore accounts, I’m putting it into my local retailer! That’s a reduction in everything I waste my money on that keeps this economic system limping along.

They call the rich these illustrious job creators, but you know how most of them got rich? From shmucks like me buying their products and services. You raise my taxes by 50% and they will get 50% less of my business, and not from lack of enthusiasm for their products and services. When their businesses receive 50% less of my money then they cut back production, which in turn cuts jobs. You want to get this economy back on track? Give people like me more money to piss away, that’s how stimulus works! Shit, that’s how economics works!

And he has the fucking gall to say it’s class warfare?

FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU! FUCK YOU!

Signed, people who don’t have money to hide in off shore accounts.

AUGH GLORIOUS response. Joe’s my hero.

Why did the American people elect politicians that don’t even understand basic economics?
