Not first.
A wallaby is any of about thirty species of macropod (Family Macropodidae). It is an informal designation generally used for any macropod that is smaller than a kangaroo or wallaroo that has not been given some other name.Very small forest-dwelling wallabies are known as pademelons (genus Thylogale) and dorcopsises (genera Dorcopsis and Dorcopsulus). The name wallaby comes from the Eora Aboriginal tribe who were the original inhabitants of the Sydney area. Young wallabies are known as “joeys”, like many other marsupials.
BLIMEY! A DIDGERIDOO!
way to pick the local info eddie
Go with what you know..
lol
Holy crap! The liberals fears were right! GWB really has managed to stick around for a 3rd term!
Obama is going to be pissed
LOL
Wait, hold on a minute… how does he even know what a checking account is? All he did was spend spend spend, never save… :/
Umm, you are thinking of a savings account, perhaps? I use my checking account to pay people with either checks or with my debit card.
Did they trust W with a debit card? Sounds dangerous to me…
sounds like “Change” hasn’t changed much though, huh?
why are you people still complaining about Bush? he isnt even in office anymore idiots.
how is this complaining?
I’m not complaining about an ex president, I’m laughing at a world class fool.
Wait, Bush left office? Thanks for the reminder, I totally forgot. Now that he’s gone, those 8 years where he managed to f*ck up everything good are all erased. We honor and criticize presidents long ago, why can’t we mock recent ones.
(And while looking at this, all I could think was that Pres O was on the other line, repeating his name, and that W was just confuzed)
not my president
Bush was not many pps president either- but we did not go around acting like idiots (we THOUGHT, but did not ACT), perhaps that is the true difference bt liberals and conservatives? We know how to use our frontal lobes to not act out every thought we have?….hmmm may be on to something here….
Horse crap. If I had a nickel for every time I heard “Bush is not the president! He stole the election! He’s not MY president!” I’d be able to retire. There are idiots on both sides. Please don’t put one side on a pedestal to make the other side feel bad.
i agree about the idiots being on both sides, but if it’s any comfort, while i did believe there was fishy stuff about both elections and would voice that opinion once in a while – i, as a liberal, never did say he wasn’t MY president. i said he was many things, some not acceptable even here, but he was sworn in to office therefore he was OUR president as much as that gives me an eye tic even now, lol
You are not an idiot, Bad Fairie, so you don’t count in this example
I do my best not to disparage the current president as well, at least in public. There is certainly nothing wrong with vehemently disagreeing with someone, but being polite about it (or at least not unpleasant) seems to make the “meds” go down a little easier.
I also never said he was not my president. Thought it, but never voiced it. Just didn’t seem respectful to the office, and all that…
I will confess to singing very loud any time a recording of his voice came over my car radio. Eye tics aren’t safe when driving, after all!
I voted for him once, a mistake I didn’t make twice. However, all 8 years he was my president. As a citizen of the United States, whoever is President is my President, whether I like him or not. Bush was my President, Clinton was my President, Obama is my President, and I was a kid before that so it doesn’t really count. LOL Not liking the President doesn’t make him any less our President.
Agreed. And yet I tended to think of Bush as President of my country, rather than as MY President. The latter just felt too close/personal to me. Sort of like seeing an ex-boyfriend after the recovery is done, and saying to myself “I dated THAT?!?” Not saying it is right, just that it is how I felt.
Granted- it was a long time ago- there do seem to be much more extreme actions occurring in this case (buying loads of guns?)..but in reality the fair-er assessment will be made when the newness wears off- I just thought we all sort of freaked out in November of 2000….but by May weren’t we all sort of back to our own business? And Where was the equivalent of Hannity freaking out bc of mustard? Maybe I am just not recalling accurately, but I really do believe that yes we screamed and threw a few temper tantrums, but it does seem like those that voted for someone other than Obama seem to have taken reactionary-ism to a greater extreme. Again I could just have forgotten- time mutes all…
I overgeneralized- SOME of those that voted for someone other than Obama- not all- most pp just get on with there lives…I wonder how many screeching the loudest actually voted..just a weird thought…
Sounds like you hate America. Why don’t you apply to Cuba for citizenship? I’m sure they’d love another democracy-hater like you…
Of course another possibility is that *gasp* they actually aren’t American…
You mean people besides Americans use the Internet??? Is that LEGAL?????
I heard Cuba was a rather nice place, despite everything…
Aside from the daily beatings, the roach infestations, the eating of tasty children, and the constant demoralization and being poor, it’s really quite nice in the summertime.
Tell you what. We’ll give it a rest eight years after you fine fellows give the Clinton blowjob a rest. Deal?
Out here in the real world, we criticize Clinton for sitting on his hands while Islamic terrorism escalated against Americans and seeding the current financial crisis. But in your head, yeah, I’m sure that’s what the little straw man you keep up there is yelling about.
Ooooookay, nice soap box, and you sure strike a magnificent figure posing on it, but over here in the real world, we were discussing LOLs, not cogent criticism. If you want to make cogent criticisms of Clinton, hell, I’ll get you started with one word: NAFTA. For or against? Good idea, or terrible mistake? And for bonus points, show how your position derives from your conservative principles.
Oh, my mistake — it was all a *joke*! Ha ha, how did I possibly miss that? Well, in that case, feel free to completely ignore everything I said, because after all, it was just a *joke*!
So have we moved on to the “yelling unrelated statements past each other to ignore the point I originally brought up” portion of the competition? Because if we’re doing that, I might as well bring up the DMCA. But I see the point…you’re doing your best to wave your arms and hide it behind you, but it’s back there, peeking out…
Dude. Shut up. Seriously.
Intelligent.
Thanks. I thought so.
Back off.
I’m sorry. PLEASE back off. Let go of the antagonism and take a deep breath.
Seth, Dhoti isn’t here to engage in lucid discussion, he’s here to aggravate you. You ignore the trolls, you don’t feed them.
Dhoti is a troll who wants to be a person, I’m convinced of it. There are signs galore if you care to look for them. Dhoti keeps coming back, for one thing. All most of us want, really, is to be accepted. No matter how weird we may be.
Dhoti is acting out because s/he is hurt. As long as we all act like children, s/he will not trust us enough to be real. People who act out because of hurt want adults, not other children. So we disagree? Adults can deal with that, in fact, negotiating disagreements is a hallmark of adulthood. It’s called, “being the bigger person.”
Dhoti has been around here for a while, with the same handle. It is obvious that Dhoti values the community here. If all s/he wanted was an echo chamber for his/her thoughts, s/he would have scampered off to freep or powerline or some other right wing blog. I’m giving Dhoti the benefit of the doubt.
I bow before your wisdom. Carry on.
“I wanna be a real boy!”
Ooooh, DMCA? Okay, I’ll start (but I hope you answer my NAFTA question.)
DMCA SUCKS DONKEY BALLS. The copyright butt-smoocher Dems PISS ME OFF. Oh, how the Disney Dems piss me off. California liberals, they give us all a bad name.
But the DMCA is easy, anyone with half a brain agrees it sucks. NAFTA is a harder nut. Free market conservatives should love it. Should being the operative word here. But it was CLINTON’s baby, so there’s a fun-size helping of cognitive dissonance right there, and there are other breeds of conservatives who see things totally differently. Which is why I chose it.
So, NAFTA, what’s your take on that whole can of worms?
Agreed. DMCA sucks, almost as much as the DRM that it protects. If I buy media, I want the right to do as I please with it, with the possible exception of posting it on the internet for everyone to download. But I should certainly not be limited to the number of mix CD’s I can make with a song.
I think that most fair trade liberal have an equal amount of cognitive dissonance with NAFTA…im just saying…
I’ll explain it to you: This site is about making funny captions that match the actual or seeming characteristica as well as the body language of the pictured person. These captions don’t depict reality. They often don’t even transport a political message. They are just making fun of a single incident or trait a person happens to be tied to (Clinton: Blow Job, Bush: Stupidity, Blagojevich: Corruption…).
But since you don’t even know the difference between complaining and laughing (!), I guess you still don’t get it…
I agree with run4ever….it’s time to stop with the bad jokes directed towards Bush, and perhaps, take an HONEST look at what you have elected to replace him.
ur an idiot.
the reasons should be obvious.
*puts on boxing gloves*
c’mon, i’m ready! whuzzzzup
grow up, dude.
Obviously you have been drinking way too much of the liberal kool aid. Get a grip. The reasons to you should be obvious.
So…you’re still trying to pick a name, then?
“What you have elected to replace him,” Ah, seriously, dude, “What?” Is Obama an object and not a person because he’s black, because he’s a Democrat, or because you don’t agree with him?
We have replaced an ultra-right-wing-neo-con-loony-cowboy-on-a-bender, with a thoughtful moderate. How’s that? Ah, no, let me try again.
We have replaced a man who disappointed his father, ruined every business he touched, bungled his way through the worst presidency ever, squandered the balanced budget and international good will built up by his predecessor, and presided over the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression, with a man who is literally the embodiment of the American Dream, the poor son of an immigrant who became president of our great country through nothing more than determination and hard work.
How’s that? Do you like that? Is that kind of what you were aiming for with your little “what” comment? No? Okay then, let’s make it short and sweet: we replaced a feral animal with a human being.
Funniest thing I read all day. Just about wet my pants. Awesome!
“just about’……riiight
Almost doesn’t count.
I’m glad to see that you are still here. There was a real ‘anti’ vibe here for a while, weird accusations, paranoia, and whatnot. Not that you helped things by being a freak, but you’re an honest freak, and I admire that.
damn, seth, let it out!
nicely worded, quite eloquent, with a hint of sting.
*applaud*
Is this a joke? A “feral animal?”
Dude, I’m not sure whether to laugh or not.
Wow those commercials and speeches really got to you…
First: Obama is not black; he is half black. His mother was white. You are obviously racially motivated if that’s the first thing you say.
Second: Obama and his people are going to be the downfall of this “great nation”; when you label United States Military Veterans-like my dad, grandfathers, and all other brave souls who fought to keep us free- “Right-Wing Activists”- you spit on them and their families. Those people who oppose anti-gun laws are simply defending their RIGHTS AS GRANTED BY THE CONSTITUTION.
No president of mine shakes hands and cozies up with terrorists and dictators. No president of mine bows to kings.
Leadership is not a popularity contest.
I can go on…
“Obama and his people” – please to be clarifying, kthx.
And on and on, apparently. Obama got elected. Grow up and get over it. While you’re at it, read the words to what has become the presidential anthem, “Hail to the Chief” – and try and live by them!
really, then i suppose nixon wasn’t your president when he went to china (communist dictatorship) or when nixon and then ford met with brezhnev (dictator of ussr – communist) or reagan meeting with gorbachev (dictator of ussr – communist)?
did you know reagan awarded gorbachev the first ever ronaldreagan freedom award in 1992 and they had what could be described as a warm friendship?
Oh for the love of… bad fairie, let me translate what you just wrote into what Reality read:
blah blah blah Nixon blah blah blah Nixon blah blah Reagan blah blah Reagan blah Ronald Reagan blah freedom blah blah blah.
If it feels like beating your head against a wall, that’s because it is.
nomally i would write something snarky in reply, but i realize that you are trying to be nice and that is much appreciated, but part of me still wants to blow razzberries at you
take care of yourself during this phase and go to bed. ciao
First: Absolutely right. It is not even accurate to say Obama is ‘black’ at all, because he in no way lived the life of an average African-American.
Speaking of race, my wife and I had an interesting conversation tonight. Her new boss is African American. She is also a native of Albuquerque, where there is absolutely no black culture whatsoever. Yet she adopts a stereotypical ‘black mammy’ accent, and I’m really not being racist here, because I questioned my wife’s characterization of her accent as being racist, and my wife explained to me that this dark skinned woman had absolutely no connection to the black culture that might have engendered such an accent.
But that isn’t Obama, is it? He makes no such claims to a cultural heritage that isn’t his, so your assertions are totally irrelevant. So African Americans claim him as one of their own even though he isn’t. Do you honestly begrudge them that?
Second: I felt that way about Bush. Get used to it, our country is founded on dissent and disagreement. Grow the fu(k up and start being a patriot instead of a loudmouthed sissy. My grandfather was an officer in WWII. Stuck in the bulge in the ardennes in winter, cut off because he was in the cav, he gave me his cavalry sword when he died, so don’t even try me with your pretend soldiery. Did you ever serve? He was a base commander in Germany after the war, served his country all his life, and a staunch Democrat the whole time, so STFU.
You go on as far as you like, child.
Albuquerque? Seriously? I was born and grew up there as well. The thing about Albuquerque, and the Southwest as a whole, is that it is steeped in Hispanic Culture. And in my opinion, it’s to the betterment of the region. While there are are certainly bad elements associated with it, in general it is what defines places like Albuquerque.
-
Secondly, I completely agree with your 2nd point. I’ve served, my dad has served, my grandfather, and his father before him. Those in the military may not agree with decisions made on high, but it still comes down to respecting the office of President and Commander-In-Chief. “Our’s is not to question why. Our’s is only to do or die.” Thanks to my dad and my grandfather, patriotism was always present in our houses. I/we may not have liked who was in office, but at the end of the day, the man was still ‘Our President’.
-
Thirdly, I didn’t vote for Obama. I’m still skeptical about some of the things he is doing. But, as President, I truly hope he succeeds because failure would lead to chaos. I love America and have always been proud to be an American, even when other Americans chose to spit at me. So to say that ‘one’s president wouldn’t do this, that, or the other’ is trying to put the man in a box with the idea that he should only dance to your tune. Obama was voted in and as I said before, we need to pull together so we can succeed as Americans.
“Obama is not black; he is half black.”
It’s weird, you only hear this kind of dreck from a white guy. Oh, and Tiger Woods.
Seriously, if your skin color is dark enough to set off the hate detectors on your average racist redneck; if it’s dark enough to increase your chances of being killed in a traffic stop; if it’s dark enough to make a little old lady cross the street in fear, then you are a black person. I’m not arguing any racial purity baloney here. I’m suggesting that one is considered “black” in this country if one is likely to be judged black by bigots and thugs.
” when you label United States Military Veterans-like my dad, grandfathers, and all other brave souls who fought to keep us free- “Right-Wing Activists”- you spit on them and their families.”
Here, you are obviously upset by the report on home grown right wing terrorists that was released by the Department of Homeland Security. A report commissioned by the Bush administration, and researched and compiled by Bush appointees. How’s it feel to be on the receiving end of a little racial profiling? Do you feel betrayed by your country? Do you possess the empathy, integrity, and intuition to see how other victims of racial profiling in America might feel the same way you do?
Your last point is just gibberish. You obviously share Bush’s view that international diplomacy is no different than a barfight. We’re well shut of the “leadership” shown by McChimp and the rest of the neocon thugs that ruined our reputation overseas.
“ultra-right-wing-neo-con-loony-cowboy-on-a-bender”
Really? He was ultra-right-wing? REALLY? Yeah, you’re right, because he totally banned gay marriage and abortion, required religion to be taught in school, and used his power to exemplify his “ultra-right wing” beliefs.
“with a thoughtful moderate”
1) What makes you think he is thoughtful?
2) If bush is an “ultra-right-wing-neo-con” than obama isn’t a “moderate”
“bungled his way through the worst presidency ever”
Ever hear of James Buchanan? Jimmy Carter?
“We have replaced a man who disappointed his father”
Not relevant to anything.
“squandered the balanced budget built up by his predecessor”
It was the dot com bubble, not Clinton, who created the surplus. And it was the congress, not Bush, who squandered it. The spending got even worse after the dems took control in 2006.
“and presided over the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression”
Key Word: “presided”
He did nothing to cause or exacerbate it.
“the poor son of an immigrant who became president of our great country through nothing more than determination and hard work”
His father was an immigrant, but his mother was an american. He himself never immigrated to the U.S., and was raised by his american mother.
“we replaced a feral animal with a human being.”
We replaced a HUMAN BEING with ANOTHER human being. I think that’s what you meant…..
In summary and conclusion, you sir, are an idiot.
YHBT. YHL. HAND.
I fell strongly that there is fact evidence that Bush and his polocies DID exacerbate the crisis. Fact: there are memo(s) in evidence that instructed teh SEC to NO enforce the very regulations that were already in place that would have limited some (not all) of the biggest errors. For instance, Bernie Madoff was not investigated, even though the rules were there to do so, it is thoughtful and moderate to point out that the rules do not need to always be added to- sometime they need to be enforced. When the administration in charge tells their employees (they can and do fire pp from the top) then they are in fact CONTRIBUTING factors. Secondary causation from the republican party is also in evidence: did dems pass the laws making mortgages more accessable- yes. Did republicans (with their leader who signed the bill, thus holding some responsibility here) take that rule, and add things that allowed less and less regulation of the companies making those loans—yes. Thus YES, bush, his administration and the party he was the ostensible leader of (considering he never vetoed a single bill sent by the republican congress does that make him the leader, or the servant is another debate) said party has some direct responsibility. We replaced an idiot with an IQ of a mentally retarded person (according to DSM IV criteria) with a responsible, intelligent, thoughtful, rational and yes, trying to be as moderate as he can and still deal with the mess made by every administration since FDR, and made exponentially worse by the most recent, Adult.
Sorry for spelling errors in advance…
You, Seth, are a genius. Well put!
You have replaced our entire AMERICAN way of life with a SOCIALIST. And to all of us, that is a what, not a “thoughtful” anything. Of course, most of us are probably paying your mortgage…….
Haha, just kidding. I’m actually a raging homosexual.
I pay my own mortgage, and unless you are in the top 1% of earners in the country, you get all the same tax breaks that us “socialist liberals” get.
Why do many on the right act as if they are paying for every government program, and that liberals only benefit from those programs, but never pay in?
Do you somehow imagine that you pay extra taxes because you belong to the Republican party? No. Everyone pays the same. I keep looking in my mailbox for my “Free Socialist Moniez” but the check never seems to arrive! When exactly are you going to start paying my mortgage?
There are plenty of liberals who are gainfully employed productive members of society, and they too are contributing to Social Security, Unemployment, and welfare.
In short, cram it up your self-righteous @ss.
Obviously, this line is just TOO close to home for you, as you are so defensive…..
PS – READ the IRS Tax Code. We do not “all pay the same,” although many would advocate a fair tax system should any politician ever dare propose it.
We all pay the same in regards to political affiliation. Income dictates your tax rate, not your political party.
That’s the best you could do? How sad that you’ve not advanced past the preteen/teen years.
Actually we replaced one politician with another. Just trying to be objective……
*whispers* “We’ve replaced their regular politician with Folgers’ crystals….let’s see if they notice.”
Out of the thousands of people that get scammed exactly this way, I wonder what percentage are Bush-haters? *and no, I don’t mean people that love to wax, I heard that coming*
Given that ‘bush haters’ amount to a very large percentage of the population, I’d say, “A lot.” Except that Bush supporters are amongst the dumbest creatures on the planet, somewhere between an archaeobacteria and a sea slug. Also, Bush supporters notoriously believe you CAN get something for nothing, for instance by lowering taxes while raising expenditures. Therefore, even though Bush supporters make up less than 20% of the population, I would guess they make up over 50% of Nigerian scam victims.
Are you referring to current Bush supporters or former Bush supporters?
Current. Everyone makes mistakes.
Whew. Ok, I thought you were over-generalizing to try to pick a fight or something
Who, me? I don’t now, that sounds so unlike me.
No kidding! I was ready to “lace ‘em up!”
Damn, Seth, who pissed in your Cheerios today?
Bush did.
I did. Ever since that melamine scare, I’ve stopped using milk.
Lol! You just seem even more confrontational than normal, if that’s possible. Everything ok?
I’m hitting the down side of my cyclothemia. I was gone this last month because I was in my manic phase, and so totally engrossed in a project at work I barely remembered to eat. Now I’m bummed out because what was once exciting and fun has, once again, become boring and routine. Add to that the fact that I have recently been in some intense debates on other sites, and you’ve got a recipe for prickishness…
There there Seth *strokes Seth gently* It’s going to be ok. Woosah……. *hands Seth cookie* Here, try this.
Thanks, froo. I’ll try to calm down. I hate my mood swings, and so far I haven’t found a pill or a therapist that helps for long…
I can’t really empathize with that type of mood swing. My only frame of reference is hormonal, and I doubt they’re as bad as what you face.
-
But you do have my support, and I’ll try to fight with you if it will help
Yeah, what she said. *hugs*
No, honestly, cyclothemia is the mildest form of manic-depression. It’s not much more of a mood swing than PMS, from what I can intuit from having been around PMS quite a bit. It’s just that the different phases last longer. For me, I have a month or two of mild mania, then a week or two of normalcy, then a month or two of mild depression, and then another week or two of normalcy. In my manic phase, I can either be really cool or totally absent, depending, and I tend to over-focus. In my depressed phase, I have no patience whatsoever, everything irritates me, and I can’t focus.
Just ask me nicely to stop being mean and I’ll always apologize, promise.
PMS certainly has degrees. As do pregnancy hormones. I sat out in my truck the other night and cried for a solid 30 minutes after work because some dipstick took it upon himself to disrespect me in front of several hourly employees and another supervisor. Then I got mad
-
I’ve read a little about cyclothemia. Is it normal to have such long periods of either up or down?
*hugs Seth*
Just don’t get too nice. Some people deserve all the might of your superb intellect and biting wit.
I’d try Abilify (since you said you hadn’t found a pill).
I know this may sound trite- but have you tried strict dietary control, to see if it helps? Like an exclusion diet- get rid of all possible triggers (i.e. wheat, sugar, chocolate, alcohol, red meat), and basically go on this (the Ultra-metabolism book can be a cheap guide, but I think using a doc is better), until your system detoxes, and then slowly add foods back in until you find those that impact your swings? I say this bc there is strong evidence that depressive disorders may be mediated by your internal inflammatory processes- the pro-inflammatory molecules can swing you around- and diet is really the only way to moderate this- pills do not work. Eating a Mediterranean or high fish and low other meats diet might help- but if you have food sensitivities- those trigger inflammatory responses- so finding those foods that trigger your swings might help to balance you out- so that you have energy and are happy most of the time, instead of manic or depressed….given that you are int he mild end of the bipolar spectrum, it might be worth a try…and I am not an expert or anything in clinical psych- I just study stress and inflammation so read a lot of literature in this area- and think it might help.
While the majority (though not all) of my mood issues are hormonal in nature, I just have to say that while that certainly sounds like it would be worth a try, I’m pretty sure I’d make it about a day and a half before I was on the roof of Target with a sniper rifle.
“What are your demands?”
“I WANT CHOCOLATE!!!!” *shots are fired*
“Ma’am? We have your bacon double cheeseburger in the parking lot. Just…put down the gun and come quietly, ok?”
“I NEED BOOZE TO WASH IT DOWN!!! DO YOU WANT ME TO GET SOBER! ARE YOU CRAZY!!!?”
*More shots fired*
Had those, they suck. Much sympathy to be had from me to you.
The PTSD from a crappy childhood doesn’t help either, does it? I only just realized that I am scared, like ALL the time. Always looking out for the next blow, the next disappointment, the next loss, all the while pretending to be calm and serene, and believing my own lies.
It’s been kind of liberating, really. I’d rather be scared and know it than pretend-calm. And you know what they say, knowing is half the battle!
… Okay, now it is just getting creepy how close our thinking is getting.
The day terrors are the worst… Nothing like a small little feature behind your eyes of something awful happening everytime you leave the house. /overshare
i don’t know about that, i find the nights when my monkey mind replays garbage over and over and then picks up with the what ifs….personally i’d love to get a good solid 6-7 hrs of sleep that’s not medicated.
I can usually sleep fine, though it is hard for me to relax enough to sleep in the first place. My nightmares are far between lately, which I am thankful for.
The dayterrors, those never stop while I’m outside. Rather annoying, really, when I can look at it objectively.
Anyone else ever have a dream where you do something you would never even consider doing in real life and you wake up horrified at what your subconscious is capable of?
No, I have those while I am awake. The fun part is maintaining composure so people don’t think me mad.
Had one of those during a breakup–was the point at which I moved from sad to P.O.’ed. Which was a huge relief, but as you say, scary. My subconscious–she’s a B*tch!
I can see that making sense.
sorry to take so long to pick this thread up again – re-arranged my office space and then the newly rebuilt pc decided it couldn’t recognize the keyboard (or any number of other ones i tried). forgot the no 1 rule to stupid trouble-shooting – turn the blankety-blank thing off, then back on again and see if it works….. 6 hours and 2 temper tantrums from internet withdrawls and i’m finally back!
any hows, the daytime stuff i can usually keep my mind just occupied enough that i don’t think about things, like making my house payment next month if i don’t either get a job or pick up another client. but night time, i’ll read until i fall asleep, either with or without meds, with meds i can usually stay asleep, but without meds, i’m awake in about 4 hours and because i don’t live alone i can’t get up and do things to occupy myself. it’s when i used to clean house was on nights i couldn’t sleep.
PTSD? WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I suppose you have it too.
Ever been shelled and have your buddy’s brains and guts in your lap?
If not, STFU and quit crying.
“OHHHH life’s so TOUGH” and “I’m so SCARED.”
Chickensh!ts.
PTSD takes on different forms, and can be triggered by different events in a person’s life. A small child who has been raped repeatedly by a trusted relative will probably have flashbacks and emotional difficulties his entire life. Just because someone hasn’t been in combat doesn’t mean that he hasn’t been scarred by something traumatic.
Don’t raise yourself above those with medical conditions just because you feel they didn’t get those conditions in the correct way. Neither of the men above were whining, they were merely pointing out their difficulties. Both men are highly functioning individuals, and don’t use their difficulties as a crutch, as you are using yours as a pedestal. Ease up, dude. Everyone has issues.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A pedestal. Hilarious!
Got any more good ones? Like “knowing is half the battle?”
No pussies, “battle” is the whole “battle.”
The rest is you afraid of your shadow, and crying because the world is “oogy, icky, spooky, scaaaaaaaaaaaaarie.”
Battle. ROFL!
Clearly you are on something, so I bid you adieu.
Nice try. Clearly I’m riding the heights of righteousness, and your only defense is diversion.
When you see ACTUAL PTSD, and not poser bullsh!t, you’ll know. But in your insulated little universe, where you don’t work with and care for the worldwide millions coming home after the fact since the dawn of time, this little puke garners your sympathy because someone did a naughty to him as a wee lad.
Go ahead and keep being a coddling bloody enabler. I’d rather continue to function as the intermediary between the wallow of self-pity and the cold, hard reality. It’s the individual’s choice, I’m just cramming a boot in one’s ass to make sure one shapes up.
You’re making a lot of assumptions as to what I do or do not do. Calm down. Not everyone functions on the same plane you do. For what it’s worth, I have seen PTSD. I’ve cradled my nephew’s head in my lap as he cried over what he saw and experienced in Iraq. I’ve “talked him down” when he woke up screaming in the middle of the night. There are a lot of things that go into creating PTSD, and combat is only one of those.
“I’m black, and I’m DEEEESSctiminated against becuz I’ve gottta IQQQQQ of 270+ and my momma was an INJUN with a feather and NOTTA dot…”
Save it. Your type is ridiculous. You always have an empathetic story where you place yourself firmly aligned with the subjects of the discussion at hand.
Didn’t you say you were done talking to me? Try not to drown in your tears or bleed to death as your heart explodes.
Moron.
I’m just hoping that your head doesn’t explode with the anger you’ve obviously got contained within. Honestly, take it easy. No one has been nasty to you or done anything to bring your ire. Can you give me a site I can read to get a little more information on PTSD? I’m curious as to where you’re drawing your experiences from.
ROFL! You need a site, after your soul-baring nephew-cradling? Then you know nothing, and are a bigger poser than the aforementioned wee beasties.
Begone, poser.
I’m trying to get you to calm down and give me the source of your information, as our sources (mine from real life) are completely different. If you can’t get a grip on the fact that I’m doing nothing but trying to have a dialogue with you, then I feel sorry for you.
LOL! Google is your friend. Try “PTSD Poser.”
Here’s a study from a 2007 book Causality of Psychological Injury:
It has long been known that it is possible to feign mental or other disorders and not be detected. Barrows (1971) showed that a wide range of psychiatric, neurologic, pain, fatigue, or other problems, in which there are usually few physical findings, could be readily simulated in the context of teaching or examining medical students. Psychiatric symptoms or syndromes that were readily simulated included depression, agitation, psychosis, neurotic reactions, and thought disorder. Neurologic symptoms that could easily be feigned included paralysis, sensory loss, reflex changes, extensor plantar responses, gait abnormalities, cranial nerve palsy, altered levels of consciousness, coma, seizures, and hyperkinesias. Even after being warned that there were simulators among the examinees, experienced clinicians found it difficult to detect them. Rosenhan (1973) reported that 12 people posing as “pseudopatients” and presenting with some psychiatric symptoms were able to gain admission to psychiatric hospitals in five different states. All but one of the 12 were diagnosed with Schizophrenia and none of the pseudopatients were detected despite hospital stays of from 7 to 52 days.
Otherwise, clickie.
Surely yu troll is more like it…
I can use Google just fine, thank you. The reason I asked you for your cite is to make sure we’re both reading the same information. Thank you for the link.
-
And surely you know that there are degrees of PTSD?
Like how watching a husband almost die twice can cause a degree of PTSD…
Surely you know that using it as a crutch is ridiculous. Define where there is a clinical diagnosis of “degree.” Cite?
Hey, little cowboy, change your user name, you weak, inadequate, clumsy, unsophisticated and unsatisfactory puta.
ROFL! ALMOST WATCHING? That was a joke, right?
Teh “woe is meeee…feelz sorreee for meeee”ers are coming out of the woodwork tonight.
Revel in your self-appointed victimhood and expect society to care for your “issues”, or GTFU and embrace your strength and quit being pussies.
Reading FAIL.
I said like WATCHING a husband ALMOST die twice.
And to your “Show me clinical diagnosis of degree” there doesn’t have to be one. If you meet the criterion in the DSM-IV, it doesn’t matter what “degree” you or anyone else thinks you have, you have it. That’s why there are criterion for mental disorders, that’s why they have a manual.
There is even a disorder for the people who fake the symptoms, it’s called Munchausen’s.
This is a paper written for a psych journal on PTSD in POWs and solders. A few interesting quotes from the article: ” PTSD can occur in anyone following traumatic events.
“Varying degrees of PTSD can also occur among different types of soldiers.”
“It is evident that prisoners of war and others who experience traumatic events are greatly affected by PTSD and other disorders or symptoms if they last long enough.”
-
You were saying?
Yeah I linked that article too but forgot to mention it. My bads.
Your reading FAIL. Did I bring up degrees of PTSD? NOPE. When someone else did, I asked for cites.
Moron. Munchausen is actual physical manifestation, so the symptoms aren’t faked, the illness is.
Munchausen syndrome — named for Baron von Munchausen, an 18th century German officer who was known for embellishing the stories of his life and experiences — is the most severe type of factitious disorder. Most symptoms in people with Munchausen syndrome are related to physical illness — symptoms such as chest pain, stomach problems, or fever — rather than those of a mental disorder.
Oh, different article, but I think it’s the same study.
I was saying where is the clinical definition of degree? Hmmm? There is a sentence with the word degree in it, not a definition of what “degree” is.
Take note: You and the failed cowboy seem to be arguing with each other as to the “degree” issue.
You’re right, I should have put “fake” in quotation marks, as that is what (uneducated) people tend to believe. My apologies.
As for the cites, you wanted cites; I merely said there didn’t need to be any as when you meet the criterion, you meet the criterion. Froo and I both linked articles for you.
Wow. Somebody really enjoys taking their misdirected anger out on a bunch of anonymous people on a silly LOL sites comment board. Somebody needs a hug.
I need a hug Eric. My posts keep getting eaten.
Not in the least. I have no “anger,” per se, more a sense of moral outrage that people of the age to post on a this site haven’t figured out that eventually it’s up to each one of us to get each one’s sh!t together and quit blaming someone else for personal inadequacies and demons. We all gotta quit being pussies, GTFU and be role models for the group following us.
We all die eventually. Do you want to be the one that everyone says “about fu(king time that self-pitying mofo kicked it” or the one people say “I’m gonna miss getting pissed with my best mate?”
Or d’nya e’n care at all?
“eventually it’s up to each one of us to get each one’s sh!t together and quit blaming someone else for personal inadequacies and demons.”
Where did anyone “Blame” anything? I saw a discussion and an explanation. Do explanations have to automatically turn into “Blame”? Especially in a discussion. “Hey where have you been” “Well, I have depression and my meds weren’t working right so I’ve been kind of a hermit but I got my meds figured out and now I feel better and am getting back in the swing”, how is that blaming? It’s just a discussing. And neither one of them blamed anything, more like commiserated and understood each other.
You just came on board seemingly to throw around insults and call people names. Sounds like anger to me. Maybe you need to take your own advice and stay out of other people’s conversations.
*discussion
and the parts in quotes is just something I made up, not direct quotes from above.
Where did I tell you to stay out of my conversations? That’s a uniquely American (who faux embraces the first amendment of your constitution) statement.
And when you cry about your crappy childhood causing you to be a prick as an adult you are indeed laying blame at the feet of others. If you’d replace the blood loss in your circulatory system enough that it would reach your brain you’d ken it.
Keep reveling in your victimhood. It’s the American way, apparently. Or do ye no ken personal responsibility and the way of the individual in the great nation of pansies?
*hugs* thanks.
Take your own advice and GTFU.
And where did I complain about my crappy childhood? Where did I blame anything on anything else? Care to cite that? Where did I say I’m a victim?
I never said any of that. You just like calling people names.
And again. You’re insulting us from behind your computer screen. Real freaking tough, pal. I’ve got plenty of my own crap going on, and I keep getting up in the morning and sending the kids to school and going to work despite wanting to sleep all day. I guess I’m a pansy too because I’m not a hard ass like you clearly are. I take responsibility for what I need to take responsibility for. I didn’t get that promotion I wanted. I fu(ked that up. My baby died a few months ago. I didn’t do that one.
*passes brownies to Eric*
Let us feast on these and stop feeding the troll.
I’d love to stay up and see how this goes, but I have to get up in 6 hours and do my daily ritual all over again like the American pansy I am.
Why am I getting the feeling that someone left the dresser drawer open?
ROFL!
You jumped into my conversation with someone else, little failure cowboy, and now you are insulted because you’re vicariously involved?
You’re kidding, right?
Brownies? Yay! Wait, are these special brownies? Cos apparently I’m now on drugs. LMAO
Someone left something open, that’s for sure.
I have special and non special brownies, for those who do not want to be on drugs.
If I’m not mistaken, your foetus died, as you stated in an earlier post a few interesting months ago.
Aren’t you one of those who believes it’s okay to abort?
Now I’m confused. Is it a foetus, or a baby?
Yeah you must be on drugs. Lord knows insomnia is a made up condition.
Thanks, I’ll take them to go.
Good night, charro. Good night, froo. Good night, troll.
And it’s not a cowboy. It’s Lego Indiana Jones. Get it right.
Not sure why I bother, but another link to a site on PTSD that indicates that a bunch of different factors can cause it.
Goodnight Eric! Sleep well!
I’m not about to argue a topic as sensitive as my baby’s death with you, douche bag. Get back in the sock drawer where you belong. And for the record, she was born. She lived 2 hours and died. That’s a baby. I’m done now. Thanks for attempting to get me riled up. I won’t give you the pleasure.
*passes brownies to froo*
I’ll say the same to you. Let us feast on these and stop feeding the troll.
Ahhhnnnddd…. we’re right back where we started, with another “PTSD Poser” dragging out his life-destroying experience as an excuse to justify his behavior. Talk about Munchausen syndrome.
Sad, and pathetic, really. But it seems to be the liberal way.
So what life-altering experience have you had to justify you raging onto this board and calling people names from the get-go?
Uncountable, but now my life is perfect! I unapologetically say and do exactly as I wish, and my mates respect me regardless. Consider me Festerish.
Obviously your husband has gotten used to your mad obsession with getting in the last word. Personally, I’da kicked ya to the curb eons ago for your general bad attitude, or reminded ya who’s in charge.
I’ve been nothing but nice to you this entire thread, so your accusations of me having a poor attitude are baseless. And as far as me getting in the last word, you’re welcome to it, as it’s probably the only thing you’ve got to hold on to.
-
And the sex is far too good for hubby to kick me anywhere.
Nay, but that’s a right enough response to throw a bit of respect your way. Good on ya’!
Wow, I missed all this last night, and reading over it in the morning it reminds me of one of those situations where you’re sitting somewhere (bar, coffee shop) quietly talking over some problems with friends and somebody you don’t even know overhears and has to come over and get in the middle of everything and try to pick a fight.
Just…wow.
Another link that indicates that PTSD can have degrees ranging from mild to severe.
I know, Charro, but sometimes the idiocy is just overwhelming, and I feel the need to try to reason the idiocy out of the troll. I think it’s partly boredom at work
*noms brownie*
And goodnight, Eric. Rest well, and dream of many happy things
*hugs*
Oh, I see. It’s a baby if it’s wanted at 20 weeks in utero, and a foetus and thus killable if it’s not.
Now I see how you live with yourself and your ideology.
Hypocrite.
This is true, it is tempting to reason with. I am sorry you’re bored at work. Enjoy the brownies, I have to go to bed. I have an interview in the morning yay!!
Yay!! Good luck in the interview!!
Answers.com?
ROFL!
LOL, wow, did you ever miss the point. I’m not complaining. Even with my disabilities, I’m happier than you’ll ever be. Suck up the pain, bozo. Suck it up or share it, and if you are going to share it, don’t share it like a child unless you are one.
Don’t worry, he’s just trolling. We all go through these stages.
Awwww, damn. He never came back…
I miss him already. Funny enough, these days just seeing a baby is enough to ruin my day, but this guy’s deliberate attempts to upset me about my personal tragedy didn’t really bother me at all.
It is the male curse and boon, we can switch off a lot of our emotions simply to confront a foe, wannabe foe or not.
I also give you credit in that you know when there is something of real emotional value and when it is just a wanker trying to annoy you without any self worth.
Personally I am annoyed that I wasted a decently nifty insult that shall remain unanswered. Watch the little sh!t come back tonight when I am not online…
Maybe it only posts at night. It was pretty late when it and froo started arguing.
Does that qualify as an argument versus one thing acting like an idiot to a person trying to be nice?
-
How did it go today?
Well I haven’t seen anything special and work is being especially boring.
Oh… right. Well, it was late before he and froo had their altercation.
I suppose it went ok. It was 2 hours of “Tell me about a time when..” I hate interviews like that, it always feels like a test I’m failing. I guess they’re trying to test how you think on your feet and whatnot, but I still don’t like it. *waves fist*
Thanks for asking.
@ DWN I’m sure your nifty insult will not go unnoticed.
Thanks Vice President Messiah Charro!
It’s called a job. Where you don’t get to dally whilst working.
Does your employer know you’re screwing off all day? Should we apprise that employer of said situation? It’s pretty evident for whom your are employed, and your actual moniker, after all. Let me Google that for everyone.
Whiner. Your juvenile insults are just so agonizing… ouchie.
He’s said before he doesn’t screw off at work. His job allows for a certain amount of “down time” in between his work, and he has said before that as long as he’s not shirking his responsibilities, his employer has no problem with him being on an online forum and posting here and there.
-
Must you always act holier than thou just because your circumstances are different than others?
His line of work is generally minimum wage and has many ebbs and flows. He doesn’t post constantly, as you’d see if you looked closely. There are serious lag times here and there.
-
I think perhaps you should get back to studying, as you still seem to have no concept that other people’s lives are not always comparable to yours in either work experience, history, or ability to multi-task.
You manage to pay just enough attention to get all of the facts wrong. Cute.
-
But, honestly, you’re beyond reasoning with because you’re so far up on your high horse that we all look like ants to you, so ride along little pony. Have fun.
Sure enough I’m on a high horse. I don’t need your dole to finance my fantasy life on teh innertubez whilst my bondage woman stays home and gets paid though your ridiculous taxpayer financed positive rights programs to care for my ill-begotten issue.
And read again, frau froofrau. The pathetic lose cried many times about his !!!eleventy111! bad upbringing. You need to read a bit more.
You’re assuming that he’s on the government dole. He isn’t, nor are his wife and kids. Stop judging.
You’re kidding, I’m assuming, because outing your buddy would be detrimental to his welfare. And I meant that in the most literal sense of the word.
Ask again. Or stop. It’s up to you entirely.
Out of boredom and lack of anything better to do I answer you.
-
Why are you so hateful to people with different life circumstances than you?
Want to talk loser? At least I have a home computer and internet connection upon which to type my opinion, and don’t steal time from my employer in order to spread my ridiculous brand of bullsh!t. My brand is from my IP exclusively. What would your supervisor say if he/she knew you were flinging your ridiculousness from said company’s IP address? You DO know that those business-owned IP addresses are registered through the corporations from whom they are purchased, right?
ROFL! STFU, busted freak whiner.
Why are you hateful to people with different life circumstances than you?
*crickets*
I question why anyone would spend time at home on punditkitchen…shouldn’t your fantastic, exciting, fulfilling, action-packed life keep you busy?
Some of us have employers who like us, and know that we put in more hours than we get paid for, so they don’t mind us spending a few minutes a day surfing the web.
True, Steve — Some of us can accomplish more while occasionally reading/posting in another window than our co-workers can while only focusing on one thing….
At home, I have a DSL connection and a computer. I simply have other things to do at home and I don’t want to spend all damn day here. So I goof of on Gaia or actually live that life stuff.
I do find it funny that you are calling me a rape fantasy dominator. I can assure you that any rape play is very few and far between. You also seem to lack a grasp of what maturity means. You start off name calling and then when it is brought back at you, you whine.
As for minimum wage, no, I don’t work minimum wage and nor would I. I am waiting for your proof that I am on welfare and I will invite you to be a bit more realistic.
Lynn isn’t some bondage woman. She is a functional adult who is being a stay at home mother for my kids and keeping that front shored up while I attack the monetary front.
Do you always make up points to attack or should I feel special?
Also, what exactly do you think you have me busted on? I haven’t denied my situation or where I am posting from. Of course I am at work, you loon. You also say that you know my “actual moniker,” care to share? I am curious to see what your deluded mind has come up with.
Maybe he’s French-bashing, DuBois………
@AC: Which would just be a new level of sad. Least you bothered looking me up, I suppose.
Looking you up?
Searching The Big Scary Intarwebz???
Naw, you mentioned your name a while ago…
Ah, I do recall mentioning my name. I just recall anybody giving a big damn. I guess I was wrong.
“Big Damn”
Jings… That totally sounds stalker-ish… No, I just have a memory for wee facts like that…
Mean to say “Don’t recall anybody giving a big damn.”
Anyway, I know how it is to remember little details. Tis a good skill to have, actually.
You mean DeathWyrmNexus isn’t your real name?!
Dude. Totally floored by that one.
For the record, my name isn’t really “-in-STL” either. I’m sorry to have mislead anyone.
Well, I hope Surely yu jest works out whatever the hell is bothering him or her so much since quite obviously this is a person with a lot of problems despite many comments stating otherwise. Surely someone must be in a bit of a rut to anonymously go on a LOL site just to blatantly antagonize people. And I’m not saying that to antagonize SYJ, I’m serious.
Surely yu jest is definitely, definitely Anti Fester…
really AC? i couldn’t tell… what gave it away? was it the fact that he mentions fester a couple times even though fester hasn’t been active on the boards much lately? stupid sock puppets…
Ah, so that is who he thought I was…
Ahh…
*Plasters “Captain Obvious” sign on head*
Yeah, I wonder where Fester is….
Yes, I was looking for a snarky, pugnacious reply to my rhetorical, humor-laced question on a political satire site. ‘Silly Trolls’ for $400, Alex
You Americans – your problem is that you think you still live in a democracy, when in fact anyone less than a millionaire or unable to win the backing of the wealthy is locked out of the highest offices. Your country is really an oligarchy and pretty much always has been.
We Americans inveted the internet you’re using to make fun of us with. STFU
True but then again we are (I hope) trying to change. And where do you live that makes you better?
*yawn*
Completely unrealistic. As if George W. could ever memorize a checking account number.
Best comment in this whole thread that is related to the LOL in question- I loled- which is the point, right?
Could be worse, more than half of American voters fell for the Kenyan Lottery Scam. Vote for me, you’ll get $#!+ free!!!!!!!!
really, i seem to remember i don’t know how many houses i own mccain and cariboo barbie being the ones promising tax cuts and swearing up one side and down the other that obama was going to raise everyones taxes, especially plumber joe’s so that he couldn’t make a profit on that company he didn’t even own. so refresh my memory – when specifically (date & location) did obama promise us all “$#!+ free!”
I got my free #, didn’t you? I’m still waiting on the free + though.
Something about an income tax “cut” for 95% of Americans when many of that 95% don’t pay income taxes. Heard that maybe once or twice, Google it yourself if you missed it.
He didn’t promise “us all,” just those fool enough to vote for him.
As for 0 raising everyone’s taxes, let’s see, everyone uses energy, cap and tax will amount to a tax on all viable forms of energy, thereby raising “everyone’s” taxes.
Corporate and business taxes are ultimately paid by the consumer, so raising those taxes raises everyone’s taxes.
You wouldn’t be saying that if you got your free #.
Yay! Its a “Bush R stoopid” joke! I love these!
*yawn*
Me TOO! I really cannot get enough- I am so glad you agree!
bush jokes stopped being funny about 3 years ago
Stupidity never stopped being funny
Neither did incompetence and spitz.
You again. Still drunk?
Mind you. at least you debate politics. Most Australians long ago gave up on politics so as to get on with their lives.
And that’s why you have your government censoring your internet usage.
And our goverments monitor our internet usage. Both are quite scary I think.
Hell, monitor all you want as long as you leave me the hell alone. If you want to see the pron sites I visit then that’s your kink
…you have my attention.
My idea of heaven is, we get to hang out with the people we like, like all the time, and every barrier to understanding what they are really all about is just gone.
I have no idea why I just typed that.
You sound like one of my best friends.
Damn hippie.
…and now that you have my fake information, i’ll be right over with a missile to shove up your ass!
George Bush sure is stupid. I wonder if he would actually do that in real life… Funny if he did! =-D
What makes this even funnier is that it’s a “Chequing” account. Hahaha..ha.. fail.
there is no preferred usage in the United States, both “checking account” and “chequing account” are acceptable. Hahaha..ha.. trying to sound smart fail.
