TTBM #4? 5? I don't even-

I get that some people may make fun of it, but holy shit if my name was "Batman" I would totally make it work.


If I get a daughter, Im going to name her Batman.

Oh, I agree with you two. It's the reason I fucking hate Bill Maher. I don't even think that's how you spell his name, but I don't care, because he's a prick.

TTBM: I drove into Las Vegas moments ago. It was my first time driving in heavy traffic, so the pressure was immense for me. I was afraid I would hit something.

You mean, like in a sex way?

*looks at age and small intestine leaps into throat and strangles me*

TTBM: Did you guys really just baned Semi? Seriously? Over a signature?
Is a stupid signiture that important? Really? Wasn't Semi a good forum memeber? If you put up with some of the stuff that I tend to thow at you guys sometimes, I don't see why a signature would be cause for a perminate ban.
I've been waiting a while to be able to get back on with you guys, but now I'm not entirely sure if I want to.
EDIT: And this is the kind of thing that almost distroyed the Daisy Owl community. The Author(I can't even remember his name now, it's been so long since we've mentioned him) tore down one forum, then the comments, and did mass banning because we annoyed him. If we just pointlessly ban someone for a minor problem, then I do not see how this communtiy can stand.

Gorgro banned him for a few days because, despite everyone telling him to stop that signature, he kept doing it just to annoy.

Also he defied Gorgro and dared him to ban him, which is not something you do to a raptor without proper planning

Its not a permanent ban and he was well aware that what he was doing would end with a ban.

Look, the thing about a forum is that as a rule, it's not a democracy. It's a space where you agree to the terms of the forum admins, and if you don't then you go. I don't agree with the way Driscoll handled things: he acted like an immature little bitch. But the whole "no-signature" thing is something I can understand and Semi was inflammatory and baiting before the incident. Also, I'm pretty sure he asked for a ban as well.

I also feel I should point out that the ban is a temporary one, and that Gorgro is consulting us on the nature of the ban to avoid another Driscollgate.

TTBM: EVERYONE QUIET THE FUCK DOWN AND LOOK AT THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE.

If there was ever a God, then that God is dead now.

That ain't God, that's the Devil's work.

No God could ever hate Twinkies.

YOU FOOL, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

THE ONLY WAY THIS COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN WITH A DIVINE CREATOR IS OVER THAT CREATOR'S COLD DEAD BODY.

THERE IS NO HOPE.

IF THE MOUNTAINS BEGAN TO COLLAPSE, IF THE FLORA HALTED THEIR GROWTH AND SHRIVILED, IF THE ANIMALS CURLED UP AND DECAYED BEFORE OUR VERY EYES, IF ALL TRACES OF MAN WERE WIPED FROM THIS EARTH, IF THE STARS BEGAN TO BURN OUT AND DIE, AND IF ALL OF THE UNIVERSE'S ATOMS SPREAD APART FOREVER, THEN IT WOULD NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME AT THIS MOMENT.

Twinkies are dead.

All is dead.

...Unless I somehow find out how to make sponge cake.

You just stuff some cake into a sponge, right? At least, that's how I thought it would work out...

That's what they all thought....and then Bikini Bottom exploded. []

Sponge cakes must now be given out in Heaven

All the more reasons to stay holy in these dark times

TTBM: I never ate a Twinky

I'm not even entirely sure WHAT Twinkies are.
I assume they are some sort of baked confection.

They appeared in WALL-E!



TTBM: Nintendo are taking Donkey Kong Country off our Virtual Console for no discernable reason. I'm not a superfan of the games but I'm annoyed a chance for me to play them in the future is denied to me. This is what I really don't like about an online-only future.

TTBM: Some people in my school have made a page on Facebook that is supposedly a "meme" page about others in the school, but is basically just a place for people to anonymously upload pictures of other people with captions that are far more insulting than they are funny.

TTBM: All of my friends and I have serious problems right now.

Even the guy who has an honours degree and a full time job and is buying a house.

All of us, bar aforementioned guy, are dropping/have dropped education - although most of us have plans to go back.
I don't know how I'm going to manage, most of my friends also will have trouble what with the lack of government aid and/or jobs to afford this shit.

I'mma apply for a free programming course that allows me full pay on my social welfare. (You don't ordinarily qualify for full welfare until 25, intended to keep people from going directly to social welfare after school. A good idea, although it doesn't seem to work in practice. It'd be nice if they checked out what education someone has or is trying to have, but I'm getting off topic.)

None of us are doing anything anymore. Half of the friends don't get the other half's problems. Everyone is caught in the middle between each other's problems and tensions are rising.

Hopefully Thanksgiving dinner at my American friend's house this week will cheer us all up.

TTBM: Goddamn fucking ten items or less, you fucks. TEN ITEMS OR LESS AND NO, NO THE MACHINE WILL NOT TAKE €100 NOTES YOU IDIOT, ESPECIALLY NOT FOR LESS THAN €30 OF GROCERIES, GO CHANGE YOUR MONEY AT A BANK YOU FOOL!

So, my dad thinks vaccinations are bad.

He thinks that silver nitrate cures everything, and we're only not using it because the big companies are evil.

I was sitting here with multiple pages open (Like, the CDC home page, etc.) and telling him how they didn't have deadly amounts of Mercury in them, and he was just like "Well, you know, it's not really something I care about that much. I'd research it more if you and I were constantly getting vaccinations."


IF YOU DON'T FUCKING CARE ENOUGH TO RESEARCH IT, DON'T HAVE A GODSDAMNED OPINION ON THE MATTER. YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION UNLESS IT'S ONE THAT YOU HAVE COME TO WITH LOGIC AND KNOWLEDGE.

TTBM: So, some idiot went to Arlington National Cemetary and was being disrespectful. (Link: http://todaynews.today.com/_news/2012/11/21/15334703-arlington-cemetery-pic-sparks-outrage-calls-for-womans-firing?lite)

And, yeah, I agree, it's stupid, and disrespectful. But there are 12,000 people that think she should lose her job over this, and that just does not sit right with me. What happened to "Freedom of Expression"? It's not against the law to do what she did, and it has nothing to do with her job.

Let's put it in a different context: If she held a sign up that said "Obama is a dirty muslim" would you think she should be fired? That's disrespecful, rude, and an opinion, but apparently, it's a perfectly valid one, and completely ok.

That's just hypocritical. We can't pick and choose what's acceptable to say. Yeah, I think it's incredibly rude to call black people "Niggers" and think them less than white people. But it's not my right to fire you for saying those things, nor is it right to arrest someone for saying those things. Freedom of Expression is just that, Freedom. And that means that, sometimes..... Well, often, we have to put up with idiots who want to express their idiot thoughts. And we have no right to deny them that.

I agree. It's a douche move on her part, and she should be reprimanded and made to realize that being that kind of disrespectful is no small matter, but a Facebook smear campaign is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Given that she was on a work trip, being paid by her company to be there, though, I wouldn't argue if her company decides to fire her. Freedom of speech (please use proper terminology) doesn't mean freedom from consequences, just freedom from punishment by law. []

(Article 11 of the Declaration states "The free communication of ideas and opinions is one of the most precious of the rights of man. Every citizen may, accordingly, speak, write, and print with freedom, but shall be responsible for such abuses of this freedom as shall be defined by law."

And, furthermore, Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights says "Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers."

So, yeah, Freedom of Expression is proper terminology, even more so than freedom of speech, since the word "Expression" covers many things, such as text, and song, and the internet, etc.)

I agree. Im not questioning their right to do it, I mean, they are a private company, they could fire her if she wore her hair the wrong way.

Im simply saying that firing someone for something they did that had absolutely nothing to do with their job, and was not illegal, is stupid.

....uh...(1) the Declaration of Independence isn't a law and (2) neither is the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Just saying. []
