• ‘There Is the Law, and There Is Reality’: Blaze Readers Weigh in on Decorated Vet Arrested After ‘Rudely Displaying’ His Rifle

  April 22, 2013 at 1:37am

  So, let me get this straight. The Blaze made an entire article by reposting the comments from a previous article. There was no new information or attempt to create a story here. They could have just put up a link and said “Read the original article and the comments”.

  This is lazier than new orginizations taking a poll and writing what the poll says.

• SNL: Melissa McCarthy Lampoons Fired Rutgers Basketball Coach

  Who are you to be the arbiter of what others are to watch?

  And from what I’ve seen as christian on these comments, SNL is mild and innoffensive.

• Radio Hosts Back on Air After Suspension for ‘Dihydrogen Monoxide’ April Fools Joke (That’s H20)

  April 4, 2013 at 12:19pm

  In reply to Benjamin Abruzzo.

  Still the posting of an old prank:

  Despite the danger, dihydrogen monoxide is often used:

  · as an industrial solvent and coolant.
  · in nuclear power plants.
  · in the production of styrofoam.
  · as a fire retardant.
  · in many forms of cruel animal research.
  · in the distribution of pesticides.
  · as an additive in certain “junk-foods” and other food products.

  Even after washing, produce remains contaminated by this chemical.

  Companies dump waste DHMO into rivers and the ocean, and nothing can be done to stop them because this practice is still legal. The impact on wildlife is extreme, and we cannot afford to ignore it any longer!

  The American government has refused to ban the production, distribution, or use of this damaging chemical due to its “importance to the economic health of this nation.” In fact, the navy and other military organizations are conducting experiments with DHMO, and designing multi-billion dollar devices to control and utilize it during warfare situations. Hundreds of military research facilities receive tons of it through a highly sophisticated underground distribution network. Many store large quantities for later use.

  (sounds professional and scary, huh?)

• Radio Hosts Back on Air After Suspension for ‘Dihydrogen Monoxide’ April Fools Joke (That’s H20)

  April 4, 2013 at 12:17pm

  This is part of an old post I put up on Facebook about this prank, which I did in high school:

  Dihydrogen monoxide is colorless, odorless, tasteless, and kills uncounted thousands of people every year. Most of these deaths are caused by accidental inhalation of DHMO, but the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide do not end there.

  Prolonged exposure to its solid form causes severe tissue damage. Symptoms of DHMO ingestion can include excessive sweating and urination, and possibly a bloated feeling, nausea, vomiting and body electrolyte imbalance. For those who have become dependent, DHMO withdrawal means certain death.

  Dihydrogen monoxide:

  · is also known as hydroxl acid, and is the major component of acid rain.
  · contributes to the “greenhouse effect.”
  · may cause severe burns.
  · contributes to the erosion of our natural landscape.
  · accelerates corrosion and rusting of many metals.
  · may cause electrical failures and decreased effectiveness of automobile brakes.
  · has been found in excised tumors of terminal cancer patients.

  Contamination is reaching epidemic proportions!

  Quantities of dihydrogen monoxide have been found in almost every stream, lake, and reservoir in America today. But the pollution is global, and the contaminant has even been found in Antarctic ice. DHMO has caused millions of dollars of property damage in the midwest, and recently California.

• ‘Go Godless’ Billboard Misquotes Sarah Palin on the Bible and Gov’t (and Atheists Apologize)

  March 5, 2013 at 12:18pm

  Yeah, we all complain, but there is Photoshop and pleanty of photos and quotations out there. Let’s see somebody take these ads and put an atheist saying something horrible on there, or a marxist/socialist/progressive. You can put the tag as: “AMERICAN ATHEISTS have no clue” or something like that.

  The best way to fight these things is to show them in the same light as they so others. Flood the Internet and social media, so the people who are easily swayed by this and not the truth will end up seeing the responce with the truth.

• ‘Unacceptable’: Teacher Suspended After Allegedly Pouring Pencil Shavings Into Student’s Mouth

  February 11, 2013 at 1:40am

  In reply to nzkiwi.

  @NZKIWI said: “He was asleep. This seems to be a fairly light-hearted way of pointing out the error of his ways. He was uninjured, except for his pride.”

  Okay, let’s look at the science. The child’s hea was back, so his windpipe was wide open. The teacher put small pieces of wood into his mouth, whic could easily be inhaled into his lungs and caused him to need major surgery.

  Yup, light hearted. And a rock to his head would have been a live tap.

  Are you that open to violence tha riskig a person’s lungs scared for life and needing medical care for years is funny to you?

• Restaurant Employee on ‘Undercover Boss’ Show Admits He Hates Customers, Gets Immediately Fired

  February 6, 2013 at 10:14am

  I hate to break this to you, but most service workers think like this… they just learn not to express it.

  In otherwords, you are basicly teaching people to lie to you to please you, the customer. So what happened about that Bible thing: telling the truth, being honest?

  I go to a BK or McD’s and place my order they way I wanted the customers who I served in High School and College… Straight and to the point. You should see the confusion in their eyes. They ask the questions on the script, even though I answered them.

  That happens all the time. Neither side of the counter or phone have a clue what they are looking for. And there’s no point in being smart in these transactions. You can’ just tell the guy on the phone “try plugging it in” or “turn it on”. Don’t tell the guy “I want that to go” before they ask.

  Deer in the headlights.

• Exposed: 5 Ways That Hotel Staff Get Back at Bad Tippers & Nasty Customers

  There’s doing a good job and expecting nothing but your paycheck and then there’s doing a good job and not wishing to be dumped upon by the traveler who is angry at the president, so he complains to the TSA, who gives him an “extra exam”, so he complains to the taxi driver, who takes the long way< so he complains to the desk clerk, who gives him the "basic treatment", so he complains to the housekeeper that the toilet paper is over rather than under… etc.

  We try to keep out cool and give you good service. Sometimes we try to give you great service. But we ain't yo head-shrink so don't explain why you are cheating on your wife with the paperboy. We don't care. Just give us you credit card and take the key…

  Because the regular guest behind you is friendly and nice and we will have a long conversation with him and get him directions and extra shampoo. His wake-up call is already set and the TV is working perfectly.

  Oh, another rude guy with a "story to tell" is next? He'll wait, the phone is ringing again and it might be important.

  Yeap, don’t tip those people who are giving you good service. As a Guest Service employee, I’ll be certain you get room 120 or 130 (this is DC after all).

  Oh, and I’m sorry, we are overbooked. All I have left are rooms where the TV only gets telemundo and the weather channel. But we can move you tomorrow, if a room becomes availible.

  Really and honestly, I’ll give you the best service possible if you stay here at XXXXXXXXX. We don’t treat anybody better than anybody else. We learned from the Communist-in-Cheif that everybody is equal, so don’t worry about the tip.
