Almost forgot - How about Tony telling Dr. Melfi, "I've killed friends before..." before you know it's a dream. That part was wild.

They're doing a great job of making it impossible to predict what comes next...Christopher being killed at the beginning of an episode was totally outta left field. And Tony's hallucinogenic self-therapy cracked me up (very realistic indeed) and not one person on Earth could have guessed he would trip balls on peyote sometime during this series. The show is getting so much darker and tense with these last episodes; it looks to me like everyone's life is spinning out of control and their numbers are coming up one by one. If the fourth (was Sunday night's the fourth one this season?) episode is that shocking, I can't wait to see how crazy the finale will be.....I'm lovin it.

That's a lovely theoretical, on-paper definition of affirmative action. But that statement is totally inaccurate in the real world. It's no secret or mystery what A.A. actually accomplishes. Bottom line: Affirmative action does not achieve anything remotely close to equality. In fact, completely the opposite: It means that a minority will be hired according to their minority status instead of their qualification and ability. Racial quotas are the driving force behind such hiring/acceptance practices. An employer who hires according to A.A. principles will hire a minority even if they are less able and qualified for the task than a white man applying in the name of "diversity." In the world of affirmative racism, "diversity" is to be achieved at the expense of everything else. It doesn't take much of a brain to realize the facts: The absolute main goal of any workplace or team is to be PRODUCTIVE, EFFICIENT, and SKILLED at what they do. All that is thrown out the window when an employer hires someone based on their skin color rather than their ability to meet the common goal of the team. Last time I checked, there were signs up everywhere stating that "we do not discriminate on the grounds of race, sex, national origin, etc."---They should add, "unless you are a white man." Does anyone else recognize this as the textbook definition of racism?? Diversity is a lovely ideal, but it comes after accomplishing goals and doing a GOOD JOB. It may be groovy to have people from several different countries or cultures in your department at work. I totally agree that you can learn more about the world when you are exposed to people from all walks of life. But cultural sensitivity and singing Kumbaya while holding hands across America are NOT the reason we become productive members of society (workers). Promoting diversity as the #1 ideal and object becomes very dangerous when you look at jobs where people's lives are at stake, such as law enforcement, fire fighting, paramedic rescue, etc. Anybody remember the scene in American History X (I know it's a racially charged movie, bad example in this conversation, but the specific point is dead on) where the dad, who is a firefighter, talks about how in his line of work their lives are all in each other's hands and they must have dependable men next to them. He mentions losing some men in a fire because the department hired someone who was UNQUALIFIED over some guys who WERE qualified, because the unqualified man had the advantage of being a minority. People died as a result of someone being less fit for duty when being fit for duty was all that mattered. I apologize if this became long-winded, but it's a such a pressing issue that I see every day and it's so despicable. In the real world it's results that matter, not keeping people's feelings from being hurt or satisfying some idealists' twisted view of the world. To those who argue that minorites should be placed in jobs ahead of someone who is better qualified for that job in the name of an ideal - Maybe someday you will find yourself in a situation where the ability of the man next to you (and not his skin color) will determine whether you live or die. Many people need to pull their heads out of their assholes and realize that there are great things at stake.

I had to split in the middle of what I was saying earlier (I'm at work). RusselJones- I hear you, I know Africa is made up of 100's of different tribes/culture/languages and that they werent necessarily selling their own people into slavery. It was all a big business (easily one of the most lucrative at the time) and the Arabs knew how to capitalize on it, thus they were like the salesmen to the colonists/Europeans. The fact that many people ignore in the whole picture is that slavery was not viewed as evil in the least bit; it was a totally accepted, unquestioned institution that had always been there. I recall being given the impression as a youngster that these bad white men were raping and enslaving at will while the whole rest of the world watched in innocent horror. Thats totally untrue. Did you know that more people were enslaved in India and the Middle East than the entire western hemisphere during slavery's heyday here in America?? That included white men. Did everyone forget where the word "slave" comes from?? From the Slavic peoples (European white people, my ancestors) who were enslaved en masse. America was the first country to lead a massive crusade (and fight a terrible civil war over) AGAINST slavery. And the idealists who began to turn against the institution of slavery on moral grounds were in fact religious, wealthy people in England and the U.S. who had the luxury of being able to sit back and think about things that most took without question. These people would be known as the "Religious Right" today. Chances are most people will never hear this side of the story because it doesnt fit the liberal agenda of making white men out to be the most vile creatures in the history of man. Oh yea also because it makes America seem great again. By the way, I didnt pull this stuff out of my ass, Ive read extensively on the topic. Check out "Black Rednecks, White Liberals" by Thomas Sowell, its one of my favorite books that deals with REAL history of race relations. peace

Paying reparations is a ridiculous idea for some other reasons, too. Most people who argue in favor of paying reparations are operating on a false account of the history of slavery (the one we are taught in public school). Most people don't know that the white men bought African slaves from Arab slave traders (the most ruthless in the world during colonial times) and from African tribal leaders who believe it or not sold their own people for a piece of the devil's pie. Contrary to what we're taught, no white man was stupid enough to attempt to trek deep into Africa to march out with an army of slaves. Those who did died from diseases and exposure from trying to survive in an inhospitable part of the world that they knew nothing about.

YO I got a very similar situation on my hands with Comcast. My digital plus cable package has so many channels get scrambled and fucked up that Im not gettin what I pay for

There's a disgusting amount of focus on race in our society, but cuttin up on each other in good fun is a great american pastime. Definitely helps work lighten up. The kind of racism in the workplace that is fucking despicable is affirmative action. (Thats actually what I thought this thread might be about). Affirmative action policies are examples of textbook racism- giving preferential treatment to someone based solely on their racial background. I work for a gigantic institution that "proudly" practices this bullshit, and it makes for a dangerous mix of incompetent people in a field with no room for incompetency. Me and my boy (both white) also lost our old jobs with no explanation, and we found out the next week from our manager that they needed to hire a couple of minorities to present a show of diversity. Needless to say thats ridiculous, and those two dudes both ended up being totally stupid fuckups in exchange for us hard workers. What a world

I was nervous for a split second there, but the boys showed that they still got it (and then some). Everybody stepped up, we're gona be somethin to watch again this year for sure. The D should have some people shook already.

The funniest thing about havin a movie shot in your city is knowing how fucked up the geography of the plot is...Like how a car will teleport from the north side to a bridge on the southside a mile away in 2 seconds, unbeknownst to the unsuspecting out of town viewer.

I hear you brother I'm in a similar boat, it's been nothing but explosions of frustration and and all sorts of stress. Ive been with her for 2 years this october, and to top it off she has a son who's gona be 2 soon after, me and him are super close but I know thats not a valid reason to keep it together, especially cuz im young, its not like we're keeping a marriage together for the sake of the kids. I m dyin cuz there's all these girls around and I want to be single but Im attached to them, like people said its just a long drawn out process, severely complicated by the family aspect. God help me

I had my live-in stripper experience when i was 18, my first apartment, my roommate was slangin yay and this girl lived down the street, met her through him cuz she liked to party with that shit. We hit it off right away, she honestly (Im sure it sounds like wishful thinking but for real) wasn't too much of the whorish type, she didnt do tricks on the side, she hated her job cuz it demeaned her (yet she kept doin it cuz of the money). She started chillin at my place and eventually sleepin with me everynight, paying rent at her place but livin at mine. Id wake up and shed already have cleaned, done dishes, just put a smile on my face. Not to mention the best part was when we'd go out, party or whatever, all my boys were just too openly shocked (what are you doin with him?!? damn!!) It really made me feel like the shit, cuz she liked what I was givin her. Eventually she learned the ways of the crack rock and I said fuck off, kicked her out. Minus the stripper gig and drug use, she was a GORGEOUS dream woman who was great to have around. A little emotional (shes italian) but way less of a slut then 99% of the girls ive met since....A good learning experience to say the least, I learned some fun shit in bed with her (1st anal for me too). Excuse my rant

Yea the whole "marijuana stays in your system for a month" thing is possibly true only for full time heads, daily religious addicts such a myself and jigaboo. 1000 blunts a day might keep you positive for a month.

Word I've heard similar stories, my mom worked at St. Luke's in Manhattan from about 1970-1986 and saw tons of that sick faggot shit in the ER and more serious admitted cases, everything from monkey wrenches to bottles to small rodents (ever see the Lemmiwinks episode of south park?). If you're a twisted anal freak, then I guess its the bigger the better...And slightly off subject but they also once treated a college kid who somehow was toolin around with a pen in his mouth and swallowed it somehow...

freaked blackn milds one way street blocked by 20 kids from the same block fightin, cars coming down and just backing up the whole way cuz they saw the one kid holding a saw as a weapon next door basehead offering the 5 dollar new microwave every other night rap snacks smell of cracksmoke in doorways

Word I hear you 26sidedcube, I've always noticed that Japanese culture even has some sort of fascination/tolerance with gangrape and just fucked up things in general...But I might be the only one here to admit that I laughed my ass off at the surprise predatory cumshot!! I do agree though that somethin like that is a terrible encroachment on a woman's personal space/life, and if I knew that girl I'd put that kid to death.

Goddamn how this shit works out...I know people who would prolly vouch for me at several of those companies, and I just finished being raped by sprint/collection agency by paying off a large amount; wish I had this info a year or two ago!! I feel like I know better than to go back to those bastards, it's those contracts and the early termination fee that got me...

I thought this thread would be about the play where everyone gets AIDS and sings about it.

Uhhh....That little faggot makes me want to vomit and then drown him in it. How do people lose their minds to such an extent as to turn out like that?? And why hasn't his dad whooped his ass, that would prolly set him straight.

HAL- you're right I didn't think of elderly people catchin herpes in the 1940's and (obviously) still having it. Nor did I think of the 80% statistic including oral herpes/cold sores. By the way, what is the real difference between the two? I've had cold sores, as far as I thought they're not the same as having the herpes bug, my mom gets em and I always thouight they could be hereditary or something...But I did hear about how the virus mutated and now you can get that shit on your wang if the bitch has it in her mouth (I know someone who fell victim to this). Regarding the elderly having herpes and shit, anyone seen the movie Grandma's Boy?? it's cutup. This one super nerdly virgin dude gets laid by this 70-ish slut, who later tells him that shes slept with 3000-something people...check that shit out "This chick's pussy smelled like the Great Depression." "So, who wants to hear about my STD from the silent film era?"

I seen Kanye smokin hard in the vestibule (sorry couldnt resist the rhymes were funny)

Where are you getting your "information" from?? Thats about the stupidest thing Ive ever heard...Think about it for a minute. I'm sure mad people have it, it's easy to spread/not know you have it, but 80% includes children and the elderly (very very few of which have it I assume). If you break that down, then any of us who have had unprotected sex should have it somehow. Anybody else bothered by this statistic?? Anyone know if its true or what is ?

word, Fuck Sprint too by the way.

Yep check with the Doc cuz you might have strep throat or maybe just the flu. Don't let that shit go unchecked for too long if it continues though, cuz strep can take you out permanently if it gets out of control. Thats how Jim Henson the Muppet Master died, he let it go and the infection went to his heart and bodied him good (if I remember accurately).

oh yea this shit made me laugh til I cried

Im shocked that so many have such a bitchy attitude about not bein as rich as those saps pictured above....Like it or not theyre rich because they had IDEAS that were VALUABLE to millions or billions of people (im sure with some exceptions, ones who inherited their daddy's empire or somethin)...Some people might not feel like they "need" the service of a cell phone or oil company to run their engine, but many many more do. So why whine when you can make something real of yourself, create something and get rich in the process!? What could be better? Cuz you know you're never gona stop paying for their services one way or another.
