I don't really know what to say, except, that I'm speechless.

Please...tell me that it's April first and this is all a joke. I'm expecting the judge will drop his robes and will be revealed to have been wearing giant floppy clown shoes.

I can't wait till we have to DRM our brains till we can't think unless we pay for it. I really can't see this is true, but I do know that the medical everything is shit. They want your money. I had to go in to the doctor the other day to get prescribed drugs. I knew what I wanted and what I needed. But because the government wants to make sure drugs don't fall into wrong hands, I have to get a professional to tell me that I can buy it. The drugs themselves are not that much (if you don't buy name brand they are always cheep), but the visit for him to tell me okay and write it on a small paper is $120. Didn't do a damn thing other then listen to me say what I needed, saw that I was right and gave me the shit.

My dad's 62, while I can't say he knows what he's doing, he sure can find a ton of porn.

He knows what he's doing. If you find what you're looking for, most of the times anyways, you know what you're doing.
