Hell no - there's only maybe three ex-gfs that really fall in that category of "psycho".
The first psycho I started seeing after the smokin'-bodied woman I had been seeing had irritated me with clingy stupidity. In hindsight, it was a mistake to leave her -- she was fun and manageable, I was young and stupid. Anyways, the psycho was "cute" moreso than "hot", and a total dicktease, wanting to get married before having sex and pushing for us to get married 2-3 months after dating. NOOOO!!!! When I broke up with her, she acted like it just didn't happen, leaving psycho baked goods on my folks doorstep (like THAT was gonna make me get together with her), scrawling psycho "though you have raped me (never got past second base), I will never love another and save myself for you" notes on toilet paper, popped my car's tires (likely), all sorts of batshit crazy antics. The Howie's pizza girl was her friend.
The second one didn't start out psycho. Her folks told her the only reason they were staying together was so she could get through college and then they were getting a divorce. They also confirmed what I'd deduced (and I made the mistake of telling her) about her dad having an affair. (If I were married to my ex's nigthmare of a mom, I'd have an affair too.) She lost it, melted down, and broke up with me. Last I heard, which was a long time ago, she was still screwed up.
The third psycho was about to get married and wanted a final fling, but found herself hung up on me. She wasn't really psycho so much as bizarre -- kind of a cool chick, someone you might expect to find on a male-centric bulletin board. I'd probably have been ok with it had she bothered to TELL me that she was getting married. Oh well...
And then there was the ex-gf who was a little psycho, because she had a psycho ex-bf stalking her. But he was stalking me too and I was a little psycho over the matter until the cops and sedation finally put a stop to him.
I find stalker psycho ex girlfriends to be hot.
As for pizza rolls...good, but hot pockets are delicious.
I'll never miss an opportunity to post this.Quote:

Not hardly, but my kids could use a new bathtub.
A buddy of mine almost got his ass kicked during the final season at Tiger Stadium. We were at a game during the final week and he went in to use the trough in the men's room, something that we always used to joke about.
For some reason he pulled out his camera and took a picture of the thing and some dude that was apparently not kosher with that got up in his grill.
I never saw it, but a friend of a friend who was a big sports nut redid his basement. Apparently it was sweet, complete with pool table, ping pong table, foosball table, and a great bar.
He put urinals in his bathroom down there.
Well, my unit took up half his camera shot, I think I was entitled to get mad.Quote:

If you put that lens close enough to your unit, then it just might be possible for it to fill half his camera shot . . . .
The thing that pissed me off the most was he hit me in the ankle with his tripod (not that tripod either Giffman).

If cherry flavored Pepsi is "Wild Cherry Pepsi", does that mean that Cherry Coke uses only cherries that have been bred in captivity? Or, do they not like to brag about their cherry catching skills as much as the Pepsi folks do?

Racism.
What? "Wild rice" is different from brown rice.Quote:

Why should a person with a higher income, be taxed more than a person with a lower income?
To the government, both people are the same (as far as basic citizen rights). So why penalize somebody for making more money? Money that he/she earned, no less.
I'm not trying to be political, I'm just looking for a good reason. I'm not going to object, just somebody tell me why that is...
Here's a list of answers:Quote:

3) Because they should show some goddamn gratitude for the country that gave them the freedom to be successful.
4) Because why do they want all that money anyway? I mean, what do you really want with all that when there's so much good it can do for other people?
5) Because any really rich person has interests that require more attention from the government than poor people do. I mean: if you are an investor in Walmart, you want the government to widen roads and install sewage for the new stores so the new stores can be successful and your stock can go up 1/4 point. Governments work overtime to serve the interests of rich people, so the least rich people can do is pay their fair share.
I got a lot more, if you want to hear them. I could go on all day.

Income inequality is good for America, it gives people like me a reason to go to college and a motive to get a degree, even if it means having to take out loans to do so. Tax inequality isn't good for America, it penalizes those who may have put forth the hard work to be financially blessed, why should Uncle Sam benefit from my work?
Obviously this is hypothetical, I've always lived in a middle class home anyway.
6) Rich people spend a considerably smaller percentage of their income than poor people do. Poor people have to spend just about every penny that comes in the door to make sure the rent is on time and there's food to eat, whereas a rich person - even one whose expenses are substantial - may only spend half of what they make, choosing to put the rest into investments (which may then in turn generate income through dividends). These investments do involve a small amount of risk, but they are more or less retained as property as their values tend to increase. The value of a mattress, on the other hand, tends to decrease, and must eventually be discarded altogether.Quote:

Denmark's scale of taxation on rich people is INCREDIBLE compared to what it is in the US. Literally, the richest keep a very small portion of their gross income. Also, the country has a tiny military and almost no strategic military interests. Everyone gets a free university education, and the schools are fantastic. Denmark is home to a few really large international shipping and drug companies. It's kind of a national joke there about how many business executives come out of Denmark. It is against the communications laws of Denmark to compare the product of one company directly with the product of another in advertising.
And the people there are, according to a recent study, the happiest people in the world. If a few rich people are discontented with the tax code, everyone just rolls their eyes because they understand that the interests of a grumpy rich guy are not the same interests they have. The interests of the vast majority are well-served. The government is run very frugally, and the slightest hint of waste or corruption is a very big deal there. Danish people are very skeptical of politicians in general and hold them to a very high standard.
Sure, they have some immigration issues. Most of their issues are how to integrate a large Muslim minority into their country. The problem that they are having is that the Muslim immigrants have very conservative values and those values are not welcome in Denmark. Denmark supports extensive sex education in schools, religious pluralism, absolute legal equality of gays and straights, and in general a pretty chill attitude about most things, and the new Muslim immigrants have a hard time getting with the program. God knows why a Muslim would want to live in Denmark, but I guess it just goes to show that they're much happier living in liberal democracies (and complaining about how non-Islamic they are) than they are living in Islamic countries.
The Danish people are happy presumably because their government meets their needs, and probably also because of the nice pastries named after them. Our people are miserable because the government not only meets the needs of the very rich, but it practically waits on them hand and foot, while providing fuck all for the rest of us. The average individual in the US can only do one thing to alleviate their financial worries forever, and that is: become rich. Every day we're not rich, we're unhappy. We worship rich people and idolize them, and we internalize their lives and obsessively meditate on every single thing they say as if it came out of the mouth of Jesus Christ himself.
The Danish do not have financial worries, because they demand that their government provides critical services for them. Yeah, it sucks to be poor in Denmark, but at least you can count on healthcare, education, unemployment, clean streets, and healthy kids. And guess what? They're happy, smart, and they churn out business grads by the boatload. The only reason I can see for this is that they probably have some weird leftover hangups that come from the old Protestant work ethic. I forgive them.
You seem to be under the impression that being worried about money is a magic formula for personal achievement, and I think both common sense and the existence of Denmark tell me otherwise. I'm willing to admit that it might just be a matter of perspective, though.
I wish I had more kids. 1 isn't/wasn't enough.
Tahoe's gettin laid tonight! lol
