    About a quarter of Iraqis live at or below the poverty line, according to Iraq’s Planning Ministry.

    Dubya fucked up really, really badly.

    BUT....that this happened is a shot across the bow of America....everything is rapidly changing and is aligning against us......but Americans are very ignorantly now and our leaders are both stunningly corrupt and incompetent....and as Jordan Peterson calls it willfully blind.

    Do you need a hug, Hawkeye? We agree on a lot of topics. I've been telling you that for years.

    I need you to stop being a DICK for no apparent reason. You need to choose 1.....either stop demonstrating anger towards me or 2 tell me what your problem is.

    Evidence That College Graduates Are Job-Thieves


    In Obi Juan Kenyobi's acceptance speech for the Nobel Prize, he proved once again that Postmodern college "education" is a fraud by the ridiculous grammar of "Dr. Kings's life and work." That stupidity is the flip side of dysfunctionally using the apostrophe without S for the possessive of names that end in S, such as "Bill Gates' charitable foundation."
