Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Voting is too hard man....

That's okay, Dem poll workers will gladly cast their vote for them if they're too busy to come out of the basement. It's the least they can do.

Nope. Not unless drinking, smoking, gambling, porn, enlistment and gun buying goes with it.

One age should be picked for legal adult and that should be the end of it. I think 20 would work. It's a nice, even number and let's you correctly refer to all underage people as teenager.

I am interested in your ideas, and would like to subscribe to your YouTube channel.

We do not even acknowledge existence of a movie....

Well, there is some gratuitous boobage in the movie.... So not a total waste.

Move it back to 21. You can't vote until you have at least a little real world mileage on the odometer 

This.

Voting should be a guarded privilege,  not a god damned free for all open to anyone willing to show up.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

How about we raise the min age to buy tide pods to 21?
