I don’t know if it’s due to our supposed superior intelligence, cleverness, intellect or some other factor but I often find myself wondering if the species homo-sapien has de-evolved over the last century. Overall, we are not as hardy as our ancestors. We are weaker, fatter and more susceptible to disease despite our spectacular improvements in [...] Why is it that when you try to help people out, show them a little kindness and compassion, they repay you by trying to screw you over? Far too many people view kindness and compassion as weaknesses to be exploited.

I’m opposed to them, not because some TSA employee will see a naked image of me but because I feel it’s another government intrusion of [...] Lately I’ve been hearing an ad on the radio promoting a beauty product that alledgedly makes women look years younger. The ad features “testamonials” that have men saying the product made their wife or girlfriend look 10 or 20 years younger, implying that these men actually made these statements to their significant others. Are they nuts? [...] Some days, I really find it difficult, in the face of absurdity, to remain calm and ask myself, “What would Buddha do?” Let’s face it, I’m not as Zen-like as I want to be and when faced with unbounded absurdity and absolute stupidity, my gut reaction is to shout out, “What the fuck are you [...] |
