I took the single dumbest quiz ever.
Let's see why:
I don't find Dane Cook funny
I'm horrible with words and describing things
I can't take notes well (mainly because I'd rather just listen)
I don't want to be disturbed while painting models (I mean, I don't want to waste any paint or anything)
I happen to be fashionably challenged and have a bunch of shirts that are similar
I get ticked off if someone interrupts me while I'm doing something I like
I like things
I don't like it when people are late
I don't like meeting new people
I like daydreaming
I don't start or finish stuff
I bounced off the walls a bit when I was a kid
I hate hate hate hate working in groups and work better alone
I don't like when people hug me without warning (usually a real ass if they do it without even putting their arms out or something)
I don't like shaking hands
I'd rather figure something out then let someone tell me how (well, regarding most things anyway)
I hate it when people just decide to stop by without any announcement (hey, maybe the damn house is a wreck!)
I don't like reading aloud (I also hate my voice)
Sometimes smile at those wacky clip shows on Spike...I mean, besides the hurt people, it's pretty awesome
I twittle my fingers
Sometimes I stutter
I'm generally slower and more chilled out in a regular conversation so I take a bit to answer. Try keeping up with your basic New Yorker while not being on the edge of your seat.
Sometimes I express hapiness with prases like "a bat out of AWESOME!"
I occasionally answer rhetorical questions (either because there are real answers or I'm too dumb)
Sometimes I enjoy spinning and blinking objects
I like to watch slowly flowing rivers
Sometimes I feel like jumping over things
Sometimes I like to walk on my toes
I can't stand uncomfortable clothes
I can take a punch
I'm sensitive to lights
I don't like when people stamp their feet
I'd rather think of a dinosaur than the word dinosaur. Partially because Dinosaurs are cool
I'm a klutz
I suck at judging measurement
I got made fun of before
Sometimes I'm impatient and impulsive
Sometimes, I don't care if your dog died
I never care about who you know
I think a bit before I speak
I like cartoons :D
So then, aren't I just your basic lazy introvert that has green eyes and is a bit (or more than a bit in my case) nerdy?
Seriously...who likes when people are late? Or most of the things I mentioned...I know I'm weirder than most people, but I certainly don't have OCD (check my desk), ADD (I don't bounce off the walls), social phobia (I'd ather be by myself, but I'll talk to folks without a problem if I have to), or aspergers.

DEA
So, I was up kind of late last night and decided to watch some TV before I went to sleep. Should I watch Rock of Love II? Some news show? Whatever was on Nick at Night? The Universe on the History Channel? Nah, I decided to watch DEA, a show about the drug war!
Hoo boy, was I in for a surprise! Star Wars Ep. III was going a bit too long, and the ending symboized a lot for me. Those of you that can't remember, the last scene shows how Luke and Obi Wan got to Tattooine. There was also a beautiful sunset. What made this scene so awesome? Well, it symbolized a beautiful transition from those horrid new movies to the rockin' original three.
It also symbolized how I felt about the upcoming show. The Sun setting was beautiful, but you don't want to be out in the wilderness at night. Yep, DEA was like the night.
The opening minutes mentioned how heroic they were and how they could get killed. Well, people could get killed on that logger show on History, right?
I imagine the idea of the show is to muster up support for that endless war (as well as entertainment). Hopefully it'll do the opposite. I highly doubt it though.
I did realize three things though.
First, if the drug war ended, they would be out of a job. One guy said they wanted to end the sale of drugs (or something), but that's like saying you want to stop murder. Nice, but nothing you could do about it.
Second, I'm incredibly afraid of needles. I mean, the very thought of them unnerve me.
Third, I would get killed if my house was raided. I'm too snarky and sarcastic I suppose.
The show itself was alright. Just a lot of whining followed by innapropriate jokes and some door shmashing.
Dear Lord there was a lot of whining...

Racism is more rampant than you think
Before the Civil Rights movement you had Klansmen openly enjoy carnivals, people calling other folks niggers, wetbacks, and countless other names.
Martin Luther King Jr. wanted to create a colorblind society. We have integrated schools, stores where anyone is allowed to shop, and a half black man running for president since his death. Of course, there are far more things I could list, but I won't.
King failed in his dream. The color blind society is not here yet.
Children are bussed to schools far from their homes in the name of integration. Businesses are forced to hire minorities just because they are minorities. Everyone on the news is ga-ga over Barack being black.
Sure, it's historic, but an obsession with this is inherently racist.

McCain: our lovable oaf
When I finished somewhere in the middle of my class (thanks to homework protesting/laziness), I got weird looks. When John McCain finishes near the bottom of his class, he gets a hardy laugh and a smack on the back.
When I screw up incredibly, I get yelled at. McCain crashes a few planes? Ho ho, have a medal!
If I ran for something and made vague religious references, I would be accused of using religion to further my ambition. McCain makes a few campaign videos using his POW footage and everyone loves it.
Yet if John Kerry was captured, I'm sure the neocons would have been up in arms about this sort of exploitation.
...maybe not. Kerry was pretty neoconservative himself.

Election 1920's and 30's?
What's more frightening than demons and cultists destroying whole solar systems? Nationalism and Socialism!
Keeping up the tradition of a previous post, I present Election: WWII edition!
McCain is Hitler (Godwin!), the soldier bent on fighting the enemy and making America greater.
Hillary is Stalin (Godwinish?), the one to bring even more socialistic reforms.
Obama is FDR, New Dealist, Wilsonite, and oh so beloved.
Romney was Moussolini (Corporatism in Michigan).
Ron Paul is (fittingly) Ludwig von Mises, the man who tried to fix Austria's ravaged economy (in a capitalistic way).
Now, which ones were involved in the war? Exactly.

Protectionism? Didn't we take care of this when we were little?
Remember when your mom/dad/teacher/passerby/whatever would tell you "The world doesn't revolve around you"? Remember how you shrugged it off and said "but it's not fair!" Remember when you realized that there are indeed other people you should take into consideration? Remember when you realize you deserve things because of what you've done, not because you're you?
If you're a free trader, yes you do.
If you're a protectionist, you don't. And if you do, you're disregarding something.
Does the average American boob deserve a job by birthright? No, they would deserve it because they have a skill.
"Well, Americans tend to be more skilled than poor people in South America/China."
Yes, they tend to. Doesn't this destroy my argument? No, if you continue reading.
People deserve jobs because they have a skill relating to it and are paid accordingly.
Ah, now we see clearly, yes? I did just state the obvious-jobs are going overseas because they don't have to pay them as much.
People will continue to curse the companies and corporations. They will ask the government to regulate wages even more. Ultimately, they're doing a disservice to Americans. Americans can't compete with foreign workers because their skills aren't worth minimum wage. What was intended to protect the average person now hurts them. This is nothing new; the government regulated the market to provide a higher standard of living to Americans but the opposite happened, and always will happen.
Asking the government to help and protect you is like an injured antelope asking a lion to do the same.
