I just wonder who voted in this.
It can’t have been the users. How can US congress win #1 fail people when the majority of people on this site arent from america?
Because obviously people from outside the US have absolutely no knowledge of what goes on in the states….
YNWA: Right after you learn to detect sarcasm.
YNWA= You Never Walk Alone? I don’t get it.
He’s a religious zealot.. You never walk Alone cause Jesus is always by your side or whatever.
Zombie Jesus gonna get my brains! Stop following me around Zombie Jesus!
Wtf retards
If you can’t follow the thread of ^this^, then I hate to tell ya but you’re pointing the title of ‘retard’ in the wrong direction…
Win.
Or a Liverpool fan.
id rather walk alone
regards, gooner
It’s obviously Liverpool lololol. Fail!!
and because we people from another countries too likes pizza
and your wording makes sense how?
^^ Must be from the USA.
maybe thats why. not every country like the u.s. you know
We read everyday about the politic in the US and we usually know more about it, then your citizen. ;o)
^^ this. And I’m FROM the “good ol’ US of A”.
Seconded (also from the U.S.A., too much corporate media) Remember when broadcast news was a public service, not a moneymaker/ratings chase?
Broadcast news was NEVER a public service. It has always been a profit maker. The difference today is the unparalleled bias.
Agreed, I overspoke—but the news departments were seen as loss leaders that garnered prestige for the networks based on quality.
And I keep reminding my parents, who still have just broadcast TV, that programming is just the filler between commercials.
Actually, I think it is the other way around!
I Would actually say thanks to the daily show and the colbert report we do
Kind regard
-The rest of the world
USAers keep saying the rest of the world doesn’t know what’s going on in USA.
Try turning the tables and ask them a question about the rest of the world, such as, “What is the capital of Canada.” My experience is that nearly all of the are clueless.
Clue: Ir is neither Toronto nor Montreal.
Ottawa! Where 3 months ago today, on Sept. 26, some 200+ Canadians were arrested in a civil disobedience action protesting the Keystone XL pipeline.
Who gives a f*** about canada?
I so because i AM CANADIAN and us politics suck! Those gop candidates are ruining the states.
Even if US politics do suck, we are the most powerful country in the world, and what is canada? Our hat?
Well at least I can go anywhere in the world and be loved and not hated!Your country is only powerful because all that money that goes into your “protecting the country” is taking from the poor and making the military stronger. What will happen when there’s no more people to protect because all the money went to protect the country and not the people. As for being your “hat”. I think not. I live in a country that gives me medical service without draining my pocket, I can get in to see my doctor almost anytime and I have protection over my house so the bank can’t take it away, I have a job and can f ind another if I have too… so I go on?The american public carry on about the “Obama” care bill and “freak out” when they say that’ infringing on their right but you only get one life and if your dead because you couldn’t get into a hospital or doctor without signing insurance papers first (you see here we get care first and worry about money later, pretty cool uh?) then I would rather be a canadian.
So that’s where the term “arsehat” comes from.
I think you will find that China is the most powerful country in the world (if you believe that “the world” extends past your National borders).
uhhh China has the most people. but I guarantee that the US military would CRUSH China if they ever attacked us. The USA has legitimately the largest naval fleet in the world. I’d like to see China f**k with the USA.
I believe he was talking about political power ant the fact that America is over 15 Trillion dollars in dept right now and a good portion of that is owed to china. And when it comes to military, size doesn’t always matter. If you consider the US Revolutionary War, Britain had a far larger and better trained military but America still won.
Dude, I’m a Canadian and you’re making me and every other Canadian look like an idiot.
I disagree. I think it proves that the people outside of the U.S. have a great deal of knowledge about what goes on in the U.S. Mind you, the internet censorship bill should be higher, and I’d say the Fox News watchers voted for Occupy Wall Street since it didn’t fail at all.
Or maybe they do.
See the bickering when there was serious problems, declaring pizza a vegatable, etc…
Because people who aren’t from the United States love trashing our congress just as much as people from the U.S. do.
I enjoy trashing Congress even more than I did when I lived in the States.. :3
I don’t think so. I think everyone everywhere love trashing ALL politicians because they’re all really reall big a$$holes living in an ivory tower. they spend endless hours throwing hot air around (debating) and really end up doing nothing.
Recent example COP 17. What a joke.
If you want to screw up a country, allow a politician to run it.
Poly- a prefix meaning many
Ticks- small bloodsucking creatures
knowing this we can safely assume that Politics means many small bloodsucking creatures. An accurate description
lol, a friend of mine used to tell me that all the time!
How can the US congress declare pizza as a VEGETABLE?????????
It is obviously a BIG FAIL!
i dont know how its insane!!
Strictly speaking, Congress declared tomato paste a vegetable. The paste is used in making school lunch pizzas, hence the simplification of “pizza is a vegetable.”
A tomato is a fruit.
Being a fruit does not preclude a food item from being a vegetable. String beans, snap peas, Chiles, corn, peppers, squash are all both fruits and vegetables.
well, that’s stupid. a fruit is a fruit and a vegetable is a vegetable. make up your mind, world!
obviously for the us congress, the biggest world problem/question was about tomato paste anyway so, BIG FAIL.
Racist.
we did, but we have different definitions of the terms based on what field we’re working in, a fruit from a food standpoint is different from a fruit defined biologically. same goes for vegetables.
so that is why, tomatoes are vegetables, while they are biologically also fruits.
corn is a neither a fruit or vegetable…its a grain
They arent both. Some are fruit that people treat as vegetables. It doesnt make it any less healthy, its just about where the seeds are located.
Let me guess you got your education from Wikipedia. Here is a tip for you it is not a real encyclopedia it is made up of who ever wants to right in it. So you are either American or British they have been dumbing down their population the longest and it would take some time to reach this level of stupidity. A fruit is not a vegetable. Never ever under any circumstance. They are using the Internet to make us more stupid and it is working at an alarming rate now all the morons think they are smart, they are branding themselves and thinking they are experts. Any 5 year old knows this information. But I guess if you come from a country where your congress thinks a item of made food that is made up of things from all the food groups is a vegetable then you don’t stand a chance. The funnies this is it is a Fail because they think that and there are a bunch on Americans in here defending it. Stupid is as stupid does.
This would be a much better tirade if you could write the right way.
The first sentence of the Wikipedia article, Vegetables: The noun vegetable usually means an edible plant or part of a plant other than a sweet fruit or seed.
Admittedly, there is not a professional editorial staff at Wikipedia. However, there are many, many volunteer editors who take the project very seriously. If you have watched the evolution of a Wikipedia article on breaking news, and as it further evolves over time, you would not be so quick to dismiss it.
That said, you are right that I would look to the footnotes to use in a citation for an academic paper, or a public speech or article anywhere. However, the basics are likely to be sound. Snobbery will get you nowhere!
At least we have good grammar though, write?
LOL!
Thank you Joe
It is illegal to call a tomato a fruit!

Sad to see that the U.S. government has been ignoring science for so long. Common parlance is one thing, but botany should rule, I would think.
Because nothing on the entire planet is a bigger FAIL than the United States Congress. They suck harder than a black hole.
burn, congress. burn
they suck harder than my mom
Congress’s decisions affect more than just the US.
Because the US is THE WHOLE WORLD!!!
Hahaha, good joke
i know its great ahh….. american’s are gay!!!!
Yeah, we are happy. And some of us can spell…
. . . and use proper punctuation.
ok, get ur facts right. yes we r happy. no, not all americans walk around like prissy girls and flirt with the same sex.
GTFO stupid person.
Most gay guys don’t walk around like prissy girls. Don’t rely on stereotypes.
Lolololol ikr
The US congress sucks everywhere, not just in the states.
us congress is only in the states…. soo yeah.
obviously other countries think congress is a huge fail… thats how.
yes they are and learn how to spell
Doesn’t matter that some of the replies are not from the US. We Canadians are just shaking our heads at the idiocy of how YOUR congress is doing things. Up here if we have a problem, we vote. If I lived down there I would not vote for any of those Republicans because quite frankly …they scare me and any one of those representitives would be too itchy to push the button and condemn us all.
And some conservatives don’t trust morons like you to breed.
Well this “moron” is calling them as I see them. At least we don’t look for excuses to fight. We are diplomatic about it, not red neck about it.
I just wonder what Ganon’s up to.

people who are sane and know how badley it has worked lately
I cant belive it why would they call cassie antony a fail she was a toddler who got kidnappeed and killed today would of been so happy for her but she is now in heaven she is a fallen angel why would someone say something like that they have no heart or soul hell the dont even have a brain people who think they could make fun of murder cases can go eff them selfs no to be rude to anyone but i think that is careless
um no she’s the mother of said toddler…. you know the one they let out of jail
Actually, Caylee (Kaylee?) is the toddler, Casey is the mother—I have no idea who Cassie is. . . .
No, Kaylee was the beautiful little girl who was murdered by her Wretch of a mother Casey. We all know she did it, just didn’t have enough proof.
There have been thousands of instances of a jury of 12 convicting people of murder using not even a third of the evidence presented against Casey Anthony.
Casey anthony was the woman that killed her daughter. The daughter was kaylee. Ass
“Congress declares pizza a vegetable takes second with 13%!” I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
13% of people on this site are stupid or don’t know how to read.
13 dollars… oh wait…
actually congress did declare pizza a vegetable for some moronic reason
Congress did not declare Pizza a vegetable. Legislation from which this inaccuracy comes from concerns what volume of tomato paste is counted as one portion of vegetables.
The following article in the Washington post does a good job of deconstruction of the claim.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/did-congress-declare-pizza-as-a-vegetable-not-exactly/2011/11/20/gIQABXgmhN_blog.html

tomatoes are fruit
When your cooking its considered a vegetable.
*you’re
Actually, no, that’s pumpkin. Tomatoes are 100% fruit.
But I believe Lum is correct that when cooking (or in veg salads), it’s *considered* as a vegetable, tho’ it is technically a fruit. And smart people don’t include tomatoes in fruit salads…

And a Peanut isn’t a nut and a Strawberry isn’t a berry.
THERE IS NO GOD!
If there is no God how do you explain Evolution?
open a science book instead of the first volume of harry potter {ie…the bible}. i dont remember the bible explaining evolution. it does, however, depict stories of magic that are weaker than any criss angel show
…
Once again, I leave my trademark challenge:
Explain to me why science and religion can’t co-exist. It’s been working great for me for the past 19 years.
I have yet to see a satisfactory answer.
Because of http://weknowmemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/humans-ancient-aliens-guy.jpg
Because religion, like science, makes claims about reality. Sometimes both contradict eachother – and only a maximum of one (1) of the given explanations can be true.
Example: Did god create the heaven and the earth in six days? Or was there a Big Bang which started everything that exists?
GENIUS –> This Guy. I believe in God and Science aaaand don’t hate gay people. Why does everyone act like that’s impossible? Super Atheists are just as bad (and rude/prejuduced) as Super Christians.
(-To Arthur Eld) What if God started the Big Bang which in turn created everything? (conspiracy Keanu face).
i agree tikky i am also christian and hate people that shove Christianity down other peoples throats (well don’t hate but don’t approve of) and i think its important to have friends that are of other religions and even gays just to see their side of things
Because the bible makes claims which can be scientifically proven as false, yet demands its readers to follow blindly and without question, which is the antithesis of scientific reasoning.
They are contradictory, but you are ignoring the conflict for whatever personal reason, likely the (non)guarantee of an afterlife.
I agree and have an example of how it can…
If evolution occurred because of random genetic mutations which were naturally selected for in the environment, how was it that humans evolved to require sleep. Spending about 8 hours every night in a state of unconsciousness would give predators an opportunity to attack. Since this would cause more deaths than in a population of humans who evolved without the need for sleep, how could such a trait be naturally selected for. Because of this piece of evidence, I believe in a God – Guided form of evolution where God chose these seemingly random genetic mutations to guide the evolution of humans in whichever direction he desired. This belief fits in with the science that is now commonly accepted as fact without contradicting any of the teachings of the bible.
I know why you’re always walking alone now …
actually you’re also forgetting that the big bang theory and evolution as a whole is still a theory and cant be proven yet also its a philosophy not a science and i think it’s more believable to think someone created the world since the big bang theory is kind of far fetched. like how can an explosion come from nothing? also explosions don’t create things like planets and solar systems, they destroy things and disperse the remains
First, evolution has been proven. We use the word ‘theory’ in the context of mathematical or medical theory, which means ‘the process and applicable use of’. It is not a philosophy, but Proven Scientific Fact.
Second, from the Big Bang came the components of matter and energy. Remember, energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change forms; even if the Big Bang was an actual explosion (current theory believes it was more a gradual thermal expansion) these base components would not, could not, have been destroyed. These tiny particles, whether they were atoms, electrons protons and neutrons, or the current smallest component, Quarks, slowly began to come together and form new matter.
If you honestly believe it is more believable that a magic sky genie, who exists outside of time and space (which, by definition, makes it non-existent) made everything, then you are scientifically illiterate.
oh really? when was it proven
To: mrEflavr
Read my response to Troll Feeder’s Challenge, I think I explained rather well how evolution and Christianity can interact without changing the basic teachings of each group. Also, your ideas about the meaning of “Theory” are incorrect. A theory is an idea which has not yet been disproved and has many studies supporting it. If, in many years, it still remains not disproved and all studies have continued to support it, it will be upgraded to a law. At this point it is extremely unlikely that it will ever be disproven but it still is not proven. It is as close to proven as it is possible to get, however, because science never proves anything, only disproves it.
There are religions other than Christianity and Judaism and Islam. I am Sikh. We have no quarrel with science.
Do you mean the movie with David Duchovny?
Actually, by definition, the same things that qualify a tomato to be a fruit also qualify a pumpkin to be a fruit.
Both grow on vines, must have a flower pollinated in order to produce a tomato or pumpkin, and both have internal seeds surrounded by a fleshy covering with an outer rind (the thickness of which varies between plants).
Biologically speaking, both tomatoes and pumpkins are fruit. The consideration when used in cooking is irrelevant.
*yes, I’m a Biology Education Major*
Biologically, tomato = fruit. Food pyramid (as per the USDA), tomato=vegetable.
Actually, tomatos are biologically fruit AND vegetable.
In german they’re called “Fruchtgemüse” (literally translated “fruitvegetable”… dunno the correct english word for it) and can be considered both.
Same applies for eggplants, cucumbers, legumes, pumpkins, melons, okra, bellpepper and zucchini.
It doesn’t matter, if you cook them or fry them or pickle them in dog poop… they’re always both.
Unfortunately incorrect. Vegetable is not a biological term. At all. Ever. It is a culinary/nutritional term. Something cannot be ‘biologically a vegetable’ as that word has no meaning in a biological sense.
Thank you for correcting me.
I’m sure, I’d be totally embarrassed, if I english was my native language. Since it isn’t, I simply thank you, shrug and apologize for mixing up something. My bad for not looking up every single word and term… but I’m sure the point I was trying to make still is clear. ^^
Interesting. You try to call BiologyNerd out (using words like, “actually”, “it doesn’t matter”, “always”) but then try to passively-agressively cry foul when it’s turned back on you.
Botanically tomatos are fruits.
Never, under no circumstances tomatos are vegetables. No matter what some congress in a minor country says.
ok, people, leave it at this. it’s a fruit, not a vegetable, and we need to get our big girl panties on and focus on important stuff: like when the world is gonna end in 2012. JK
Then you are aware that fruit is determined by amount of fructose, not “growing on a vine” or “Thickness”
*Yes, I have an education in food*
Then you should get a better education in food.
Definition of fruit is it beeing the edible fruit or seeds of perennial plants like trees and bushes and shrubs, while vegetables are edible plant parts of annual or biennial herbaceous plants. If you harvest fruit, you still got the plant. If you harvest vegetable, you take the whole plant or parts of it, but the plant is gone and has to grow again all over.
Fruits/Vegetables like tomatos, pumkins, melons etc. are in between by growing like fruit on annual plants.
*sorry if i got some terms wrong, but i’m german and i don’t come across these word often*
*and i have an education in food, too*
look at the big brain on kyra
pumpkins are fruit also. In fact they are berries.
The fail is far more complex than Congress simply “declaring pizza a vegetable” or, as many say, that tomatoes are actually a fruit. What really reinforced the fail for me was that, out of all the things they have disagreed on in the recent past that would probably be beneficial (health care, raising the debt ceiling, Veteran’s benefits, etc), Congress is more concerned with joining together in agreeing that a small amount of vegetable paste is equal to an actual vegetable so that frozen pizza companies can continue to sell to America’s schools.
And American’s wonder why the obesity rate is soaring and why their approval rating is so low. They’re putting the needs of corporations above the needs of their constituents.
Probably because everything you listed except for Veteran’s benefits would ruin this country more than it’s already being ruined. But as I’m guessing you’re not a professional involved in any of the fields you’re expressing your obviously ignorant opinion on, I can’t blame you too much. I just wish stupid people would not pretend to be experts in things they have no clue about.
And I suppose your an expert on such things to come to such a bold conclusion that and I quote “everything you listed except for Veteran’s benefits would ruin this country”
*you’re
*country.”
*that, and I quote,
Your argument always loses some credibility when it has grammatical errors.
Lol so true! xD I hate it when people post stuff without using proper grammar.
Um, wow.
I totally agree! It usually makes no sense why they don’t use proper grammer. I think that they are very lazy.
thx very much, i’m gonna post this grammaticaly incorrect post just 4 u peeps!
But, ALL your posts are grammatically incorrect..
health care; medicare sux as no glasses or teeth care.
People can live normal lives without good teeth. In the case of crippling pain, medical insurance does apply to medical emergencies related to the teeth and eyes.
tl;dr
You sir are an idiot. If anything, they should lower the debt ceiling because the more the government owes, the more they will take from us in taxes. What they need to do is govern spending. For instance, myself being in the military I have seen some outrageous spending in the government like paying $99 dollars for a plain pair of round-nosed pliers or the fact that a politicians wage is non-taxable and they are not required to claim the “gifts” they receive for taxes. What about the fact that they allow illegal aliens to stay in this country and offer them benefits that are not even eligible to citizens of this country.
The only thing that should be done about health care is regulating the charges made by hospitals and dis-allowing them to report on a persons credit ie, I was in a dirt bike accident that put me in the hospital for a week and did not allow me to work for 6 months. In that time the hospital had billed me for over $60k in medical bills and with me not able to work or draw disability because the accident was my fault, (I learned from my mistake so please save the time and effort by commenting on this) so in that time frame they referred my file to collections and ruined my credit which in turn is the only thing holding me from a home loan which would in fact help boost the economy (if ever so slightly).
Veterans benefits are fine, just leave them as they have been, don’t change them. I am a vet and I am not looking for a handout or anything, I just like the fact that in 10 more years I can retire and let my side business help supplement my income.
Obese children are the result of negligent parents, not school lunches. When my kids want to go to Micky D’s for a cheese burger and a toy I say no, that’s all it takes. If they want to control the population they should just start a breeding license, no you are too fat or too stupid and we don’t want anymore of you running around, now that would make my life easier. The government just needs to stay out of everyone’s business. I will teach my kids how and what to eat, I would rather not wear my seat-belt. I want to live my life as I see fit, I’m not going to interfere with their lives, why must they mess with mine.
The biggest problem with congress that I can see is there is just too damn many of them. Do we really need 10 different people to say how my state wants to handle a situation? I say cut the number by more than half, less people equals less confusion and less ego. If the people running this country become smaller then their ego’s should get smaller as well. Just look at how many signatures are on the Declaration Of Independence, 56 people started this country, why do we need more than 700 people in office? I can promise you that I do more paper work in a week than 3/4 of them do in a year. “Checks and Balances” should refer more to authority than their bank accounts. I say take this system apart and rebuild it from the ground up because what they are doing is s**tting on my back doorstep and I don’t like it.
There are a huge number of people in this country who have better ideas and would be better qualified to run this country than the politicians who currently do. Unfortunately, with the way elections are set up in this country, all but a select few are ever allowed to run for a government position. These “Politicians” are not running to improve the country, they are running for personal reasons. Politicians ruin a county, so why do so many people allow them to be voted into office every year? If you truly want there to be a fair election, make it so anyone can run. I say elections should start with the nominations of individual people for the presidency in your city. There would then be a minor election in every single city and the winners would move up to the county elections. It would continue like this through state and region until the final election where the winners of all elections up to this point along with the previous president would campaign for a term as president.
Yes, but the people who are already in power don’t like that. Funny how that works, isn’t it?
Hear, hear! Congress’s approval rating is ~11%; that of the British before the American Revolution is estimated to have been ~30%.
Interesting times, indeed.
Paid for by the frozen food lobby. Similar to Raygun claiming catsup is a vegetable. Congress should be working on getting us out of this recession instead of legislating food portions.
congress cannot do anything to help the economy other than to stop touching it. you cannot legislate the country into financial well-being
However, the government Could start collecting back the debt owed to the American people, the money given to all the ‘Too Big To Fail’ companies who are on stable ground now, or the money given to the financial sector of Wall Street, who are now giving themselves bonuses in the excess of $150K. Those Not getting these kinds of bonuses are instead getting permanent pay raises to the equal amount.
America LENT this money, it’s time to collect our debt back.
Some of the “too big to fail” companies have paid their debts back already. Specifically, GM and Chrysler come to mind.
All that did was make me feel hungry.
Bad articles are bad,
Instead of taking pizza off the menu and replacing it with fruits and vegetables; they decided that feeding kids 33 times the amount of sodium and high fructose corn syrup instead of natural sugar was better than losing campaign donations.
And the hits keep on comin’
^this
Ironically tomatoes are a fruit, which means we have some pretty dumb congress men and women. Other than Newt Gingrich of corse.
who’s that?
Epic response. Newt Gingrich is the quintessential old, fat, racist, homophobic, misogynistic white guy with more money than you could ever find a personal use for. He also happens to be a Congressman.
Well, here’s the reason why it lost to Kim Kardashian’s marriage fail, KK made a huge idiotic TV special that aired her marriage with basketball player Kris Humphries. She said that this would be a good marriage, but the marriage failed and she divorced Kris 72 days later. As a result, KK kept all the money from the wedding to herself.
I knew that they were going to divorce because Kim just wants money. When her mairriage aired on television she got a lot of money from that though.
hahahaha best comment.
And if somebody told you that congress has declared that the moon is made of cheese, Michael Jackson never molested little boys, and Rebecca Black was actually a decent singer would you believe them?
No need for congress to declare that. Everyone knows all three are fact. Its science.
I’d believe the second one. If Congress declared the third fact I think I’d have to accelerate my deep-space program.
If someone declared the first a fact I’d accelerate my space program. How awesome would moon-cheese taste?!
talk about disrespect. KILL THE ESTABLISHMENT!!!!!! EVERY MAN 4 HIMSELF
Well pretty interesting that Both the U. N. and U. S. Congress are messing it up; I mean, how does a large power focus on whether water helps cure dehydration? I think most of the people don’t want to live on this planet anymore bro.
On his national radio show, Neil Boortz was talking about a college professor who asked his students about how they could achieve “the American Dream” and what did they want the Federal Government to do for them in achieving that dream. Only about 10% of the students said something like they wanted the FG to abide by the Constitution and otherwise leave them along. These, according to Mr. Boortz, were the students who had been home schooled or in private high schools. The other 90% wanted the FG to provide one or more of the following: free college education, free health care, free money to buy a house, free money to “buy the stuff they want”. One even went so far as to say something like “we need the Government because as human beings we are unable to make choices for ourselves.” Oh, and those who mentioned where we should get all this money to pay for all this free stuff said “tax the wealthy”. Perhaps they should have read the story of the Goose that Laid the Golden Egg.
Our society was set up to allow people the opportunity to succeed using their skills, brains, hard work, and perhaps a bit of luck. It also allows the opportunity to fail, because all outcomes cannot be equal give we all have varying degrees of the above components.
We have become the entitlement society; I am, therefore I’m entitled. No wonder we are racing toward becoming another third world country.
I hate to break the news to you but you could not be more wrong. The Rothchilds family is worth over 500 trillion dollars which is enough money to feed, cloth and house every man woman and child. They own the Federal Reserve and every other central bank in the world. Only 3 countries in the world are left that don’t have a Rothchild Central bank if you want to know the last countries get new central banks just look at the last countries the US has attacked. They own the media and all the major press in all the major countries. There are only 3 left one of them is Iran and when they have them all they will contract the money supply and they will buy up everything for pennies on the thousands of dollars. Oh and in 1948 they started their own country and put a Satan pentagram on their flag and call it the star of David. They have the second largest collection of fighter jets in the world. Right on the side it say Kfir which is Arabic for disbeliever it does not mean anything in Hebrew. They are a have a huge number of Nukes and no one has done anything to stop them. Since 1948 they have wiped out nearly an entire race of people and the world has done nothing. Obama has said he will stand behind Israel no matter what. If you are not in one of those 3 countries you are owned, bought and paid for by the Rothchilds family and if you not you soon will be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlOUXWQP-KM stop believing what the media tells you.
That *IS* the American dream nowadays. To live a comfortable life with no regrets, no consequences, and no work. Unfortunately, that works in real life about as well as communism does.

I believe you mean “Typo Jew.”
I’m in agreement with Gaandolf ^_^ I’m a little bias though because I am a Jew lol!
Mega-grammar Nazi, APPROVED!
NOBODY DID GRAMMAR NINJA! There is a Grammar Ninja out there some where and the Grammar Ninja is me!

i love ninjas, but not 1′s that make me be grammaticaly correct
False. A grammar ninja would never say “the Grammar Ninja is me!”. The Grammar Ninja would simply strike, then vanish.
For me the best fail video of the year was the guy driving the digger, badly. Inevitably dropping a scoop full of sand onto himself. Twice.
The winning videos were average fail material. The only fun in the firework video is the guy saying Jesus all the time. I will submit a of video myself repeatedly saying Jesus while someone falls of a bike, it will win next year.
Yeah, that was my all-time favorite.
Why Wasnt Obama a selection? Was he in the “Most vacations in 1 term” contest?
Nope, George W. Bush still has a lock on that one by three times as many days.
From CBS News: So far, President Obama has taken 61 vacation days after 31 months in office. At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings. And Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/08/17/eveningnews/main20093801.shtml
Oh, no! Obviously presidents aren’t allowed days off.
“where his staff often joined him for meetings”
I’d argue that’s not really a true vacation, more of a change of scenery.
He’s not leading in that category.
Because fails involving him don’t get automatically moved to the front page like the pizza myth does.
hahahaha
Yea really how did the Obama administration use of their own gun sales to the Mexican cartels in the Fast and Furious program to argue for increased gun control not make the cut?
^^ This.
Why aren’t people in jail for this? Why is Holder still in office. Why do we have a dead boarder agent who’s record has been sealed by the Administration? How many Mexican nationals were killed in Mexico because of this little operation?
It’s runners-up!
You fail at English!
is us a real country?
It’s ARE WE a real country….sheesh
WHO voted for the occupy protests as being a fail???
Well, I sent one vote their way. The only thing they’re doing is pooping in tents and giving pepper spray companies a boost in sales.
Then you are an idiot. If you don’t understand what they are fighting for and how important it is, then you can keep on enjoying your Corporatocracy. Democracy is dying and you are one of those helping it. Wake up.
y so mad? Idiots are funny.
You can laugh at them while you spend your whole life slaving for the benefit of the banks.
It takes an attention surgeon to get outraged by only the money flowing to the bankers, but NOT be outraged by:
1. The person who paid them off (Obama).
2. The much greater amount flowing to Freddie Mae/Freddie Mac, who arguably had more to do with the cause of the recession.
3. The other bailouts, for example the car company ones.
4. The “stimulus” packages, which represent a couple orders of magnitude more spending.
You are a tool, who gets outraged at only what you’re bloody well INSTRUCTED to get outraged at.
The stimulus package, which included the bailout, although approved by the Obama administration was set up/suggested by the previous president and his administration, and at first it was strongly and publicly supported by the Republican party. Obama had just become president, the economy seemed to be a mess (of course now it seems much worse…) and he was under a lot of pressure to take immediate action. He was also trying to be true to his campaign promises to work with both parties. Our entire country was convinced we were on the verge of another Great Depression and many people thought the stimulus package could save us (of course there were many people who had doubts, but they didn’t get as much press). It might not have been the right decision, but let’s not blame this entirely on one person. It’s not like the president just said “make it so” and the money went flowing out. It had to be approved by the majority of our many elected officials, people whose campaigns are largely supported by the companies begging for a bailout.
Also, the Occupy protests are not protesting any single corporation, they are protesting the way our government officials pander to corporations (banks included) and their greedy desires, with no regard to the consequences for the American people. Since Freddie Mac/Mae are corporations and part of the financial world, they are included under the umbrella of things that are being protested, as are the car corporations. Admittedly the bailout is a very good example of what they are protesting, but so is all the deregulation in the housing and banking industries that happened under previous presidents.
booooring!
A++++++
Yes! A thoughtful answer!
hang on, we’ve got the same problems in the uk you know and we all know that industry needs to be saved, or jobs will go out of the window, banks though seem to just make money from other people’s misery, conning people into thinking they can afford things that in reality they can’t
Every realize that at least one of the car companies who got a bailout have already paid it back in full? Thats right. Gm has been off the hook for like 6 months now. I only saw that on yahoo like 3 days after it happened. Nada from mainstream media (tv, newspaper, etc). Gm sales have been increasing almost monthly. That bailout worked. As for the banks…. well, they’re now in debt to both the US gov and warren buffet (or trump? Sad, i can’t remember). Thanks congress, you’re batting 1 for everything.
no they didn’t. the americans lost money on every single bailout. we will not get our money back directly.
You are even more of a tool then, sorry. Who was the president who first proposed said bailouts (then referred to as the Stimulus Package)? Oh, that was Bush. Obama just inherited his mess, and did his best to clean it up. At the time, most of the country was calling for the bailouts. It was the Republicans who first supported them, but when they didn’t turn out to be the magic fix-all the GOP wanted them to be, they made Obama their scape goat.
Wake up and smell reality. Politics is not as cut and dry as those commercials on TV would like you to believe. Geez, I was 17 at the time and even I know about everything that was happening then. Sad day for America…
r u british, u sound like my old boyfriend, he used bloody all the time
The banks did not cause this. I’m sorry but your liberal talking point is invalid. The investors were led to believe by Barney Frank that the economy’s prognosis looked really good and encouraged them to invest. What happened? Everyone invested at the direction of this liberal idiot and then the economy was plunged into a recession. Once again, it was the government’s fault for causing the recession and not private companies.
Who’s the bigger idiot? That dude, or the people following his directions, who likely consist of both liberals and conservatives? Either everybody is responsible for their actions, or nobody is. Your conservative talking point is equally invalid.
Also, private corporations fund campaigns so if it’s the government’s fault, they would still be responsible as well because they are interconnected.
Here’s a joke for you all. Someone is drowning, and there is a liberal and a conservative ashore. Who rescues them? Trick question. Nobody does because they are too busy fighting about whether or not they should and what measure to take and then when the person drowns, they move on to fighting over who’s at fault.
Ideally, controversies and argumentations exist so that we all can find out what’s wrong with the current system, and eventually we find solutions together.
However, instead of finding solutions to improve people’s life, they prefer to win the argument — no matter who’s wrong or right — to improve their ego instead.
Meanwhile more helpless people are drowning in the sea of debt.
^Love the name by the way!
i like ur name, i get called that alot
His/her name was SmartAss, not DumbAss.
Wow you need to wake up from your media induced comma. “The banks did not cause this” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dlEX1xD1wtM
Actually, we are not a democracy we are a democratic republic, so you should get your political facts straight before addressing people as though you are superior. Their cause is actually rather ridiculous and unnecessary, so it is appropriate to list their movement as a “fail”. What has it accomplished so far? I think JmfDiver has it about right.
* semi-colon after democracy
If nothing else, it has demonstratively increased the amount of time media and politicians have been talking about jobs and employment instead of simply focusing on the deficit. There are plenty of charts demonstrating that and many other related accomplishments.
semi-colons are awesome; i have no idea what you are referencing.
Irrelevant. Our government body is a republic, but the protests ARE democracy. Can you even describe their (really, *our*) cause? How much do you actually know about the movement?
Not when they break the law by staying on public property and blocking roads. Their movement is a bunch of self entitlement BS.
ya derpin derped it.
1. Just because he is against it doesn’t mean he fails to understand them.
2. They don’t have anything they’re fighting for, they only have something they’re fighting against. The Occupy protesters haven’t given any indications of solutions to that which they are protesting, nor do they have leadership, nor do they have a plan to effectively combat that which they are fighting against (protesting Wall Street won’t do anything, petitioning and protesting Congress might help).
3. Our method of economy, Capitalism, means that so long as business is done legitimately and fairly, corporations are allowed to grow powerful. The prospect of Capitalism is that everyone gets a chance to become as powerful as those corporations (so long as it is kept fair).
4. We live in a Democratic Republic, not a Democracy.
5. Saying “Democracy is dying and you are one of those helping it,” is vague, because you aren’t differentiating whether he is helping Democracy die or he is helping Democracy because it is dying.
6. “Wake up” is trite and overused. Are you implying he is sleepily unaware, or that he is actually asleep? What does that statement add to your argument? It would’ve been more effective to end on your previous sentence, flawed as it was.
Your argument is invalid.
You sir are win
yes, but the word is “Legitimately and fairly” not the way it has been done recently
Well spoken sir.
You sir, are a person who actually knows what you are talking about. Keep it up!
Well said
Posted just for this.
I actually was all about OWS when it started, and I flew to NY to protest in Zuccoti.
My first night there I saw someone shooting up heroin, and promptly left the next day due to them calling me a “Close-minded prude” because I wanted the person shooting up removed.
Apparently, its a “no tattling” movement.
Also, as of late it has increasingly being fed by ACORN and is also turning into a staunch anti-service men and women movement which I just can’t stand behind.
Someone is herding uneducated sheep, and I’m not going to “Wake up” in your dream world, I much rather prefer reality.
OWS was, and possibly still is, a worthy cause. Their original intent was to point out that we the people no longer have a say in our own political system. Our voices are ignored; lobbyists and private interest groups have the eyes ears and attention of our governing representatives because they have Paid for it.
I wouldn’t be the least surprised if the person you saw was not an OWS advocate, but a homeless person Paid to be there and make the protestors look bad.
Honestly, I even find you tale suspect. I guess I have a ‘pics or it didn’t happen’ kind of mentality.
1. You are an idiot.
2. you are an idiot.
3. you are an idiot.
4. I bet you believe the Lunar landing was done on a sound stage in Hollywood.
5. You are still an idiot.
6. Yes those retards did have a good idea but they lost it after that last bong hit, then again when they decided to go to DC but made it as far as Wall St. and said “screw it I’m tired of driving, let’s just do it here. Pass me that pipe”
7. To hell with grammer: i Just pASSED comp 1 with a D so I really don’t care.
8. You are still an Idiot.
ACORN? No longer any such organization; trashed by trickery, and the lack of fact-finding before funding was cut off was a travesty of policy—not even close to justice.
I sense a troll.
“Wake up”
That’s hippie for “baaaaaa”
You’re welcome.
^^ This.
Good thing you don’t have any credentials or else people would give a s**t about what you’re saying.
Those Occupy Wall Street protesters need to get off their lazy asses. There is nothing important that they are fighting for. They need to go occupy a job and stop relying on welfare.
They Did ‘get off their lazy asses’. They went to one of the sources of America’s current financial and political woes, tried to overturn a corrupt system by peaceful means, put up with ignorant naysayers, police brutality, and panhandlers, all for the sake of our democratic rights as Americans.
They fought for our voices to be heard over the money being shoved in our representatives’ ears by lobbyists and private interest groups; to have the money given to Wall Street by our government given Back, seeing as the day traders and CEOs the money went to wasn’t needed at all (workers at Wall Street are recieving X-Mas bonuses in the excess of $150K, and those denoed their bonuses by tax regulations are instead having it added to their regular paychecks, PERMANENTLY, as a pay raise).
‘…Go occupy a job…’? Easier said than done nowadays. I have been out of work for nearly 2 years now, and Certainly Not for lack of trying.
I live in the second largest city of my state (Georgia- go ahead, make a southern joke, it’s obligatory) and the job market locally is horrid. I would have moved if not for the simple fact that upon moving, where would I go with no money? You can think it’s bulls**t all you like, but I have the 30+ sheets of documents proving my work search, and I only need to prove myself to the state, not you.
^^this; bravo! And they are still fighting, just not as visible right now (police and weather).
In what year were you unemployed? And in what location? These are huge factors in job-search success.
From what I saw, they have no real common goals, are wasting taxpayers money and are “occupying” when they should be doing something productive with their lives like getting jobs
“OCCUPY A DESK: Get a job”
OWS didn’t win, but I wouldn’t say they failed.
Try a WIN thank you very much.
People who obviously lack the common sense that most of us develop during childhood.
where is Berlusconi?
With Congress being #1, it just shows how poorly people are educated in this country.
It’s not too surprising if you look at the approval numbers. Right now Communism is more popular than Congress.

It reflects the prejudices of the site owner, who flooded the zone with straight-to-the-front-page passes for that meme.
*how poorly people are educated
Oh sure, demonizing teachers again. That old gem.
I think the fact that it only got 19% of the vote proves that people need to stop watching Fox News. They should have gotten a higher vote than that. Mind you, the GOP should have scored highly as well. Followed by the Internet Censorship bill, the Defence Bill, and then the Republican puppet Obama.
Muammar Gaddafi and Casey Anthony lost to Kim Kardashian… :/
While I guess, she did win her case, but still.
So I’m curious to why i the first picture Kim has her mouth covered but the men have their eye’s covered? Is this a subminimal message saying women shouldn’t have voices? nice one. lets all promote gender equality. and also, we should not be comparing the US Congress to Kim Kardashian. It sadness me that politics is not taken seriously.
That would be because she said “I Do..” Her words/ actions were the fail…
Some of us think women with voices are great! How else could we hear them say “yes dear” when we ask for our sandwich?
the biggest fail of the pizza vegetable situation is that tomatoes are a fruit
The biggest fail of this comment is that fruit and veg belong to the same food group and either will do.
Love it…
Finally some sense
You guys know how your mother always told you not to eat to much of pizza cause its junk food? Well now go ahead and tell her that pizza is a vegetable and that you can eat as much as you want because its healthy. God i hate congress right now…..
grammar, syntax, sentence structure fail
Grammar Nazi approval.
Grammar Ninja approval.
still love ur name
Occupy protests even making runner up as a FAIL makes me lose faith in humanity all over again. “Derp damn those hippies fighting for basic human equalities”.
If you had to encounter those people on your way to work everyday and be harassed for trying to make a living and support your family, well you would call them a fail as well. Nothing says fun like someone throwing something at you and yelling in your ear at 8am when all you want to do is feed your daughter.
How old’s your daughter?
I’m pretty sure they didn’t come there just to throw things at you.
Derp
True enough.
“Derp damn those successful people for working hard and doing something with their lives while we all sat around on our asses and did dru… or err couldn’t find work”.
Australia Fail is our government too but the No 1 would be the Carbon Tax!
Hmm. I fail to see your logic in declaring the Carbon Tax a fail. As far as I know, it merely makes you pay a tax on the amount of carbon dioxide that you produce. Surely that’s an incentive to try and produce less carbon, not something to be responded to with “HERP DERP MY BUZNESS WILL GO BANKRUPT N I WILL DIE” or outraged claims that you will lose your job. If you won’t be able to sell as much coal, try and mine something else like, oh, I don’t know, iron?
I have NEVER understood “HERP DERP.”
Die in a fire.
They’re nonsense words similar to “dur” or “duh” and used to indicate stupidity. Ironically even most stupid people can still figure this out by using context clues or referring to urbandictionary.com. Perhaps you really meant to say you didn’t get the humor, or were you genuinely seeking clarification?
Maybe you should spend less time worrying about other people’s grammar and/or laziness, and more time improving your comprehension skills.
Also, die in a fire is so 2005 and any insults, dated or otherwise, are likely lost on somebody posting as Obvious Troll.
The Carbon Tax isn’t a fail. The huge mining companies want you to believe that though, because they don’t want to pay it. Nor do the multi-billion dollar corporations. The Carbon Tax is directed at the big companies, and despite their spin about it, won’t take their business elsewhere given that Australia is amongst the countries with a stable economy.
Congress was #1, but Obama was nowhere on the list. Just a minor oversight I presume.
The GOP as a whole isn’t on the list either. The debates are, but not the GOP in general, and they fail more than Obama.
even more fail, congress didnt actually declare pizza a vegetable…
Most common Internet grammatical errors
you’re = you are, ie, You’re really stupid.
your = second person possesive adjective, ie, Your stupidity is obvious.
it’s = it is, ie, It’s obvious that you’re really stupid.
its = third person possessive pronoun: Its stupidity is obvious
WORD BONUS: Conversate is not a word. The correct word is ‘converse’ or more succinctly, ‘talk.’.
Who is Kim Kardashian and why did her marriage fail? How important is it that I know this?
I love pizza with lots of cheese. Tomato sauce is optional. I am very fat.
Hate to burst your bubble. Conversate IS a word. It is a verb. Merriam-Webster for the win… http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/conversate
It is a nonstandard backformation; it says so right in the definition. I guess it has become a word of sorts because people use it, but it’s ugly and has too many syllables. I will continue to oppose its use, except on reality courtroom shows. There it is a lost cause.
My least favourite backformation is enthuse, which must be the ugliest-sounding word in the English language. I do accept it as a word because people I respect use it, but I always cringe.
Now may we please get back to important stuff like Kim K.?
Err??? I thought that’s how you made Pizzas. Pizza base then on top of that Tomato sauce.
Some pizzas use a sort of garlic cream sauce instead of tomato sauce. Check out Papa Murphy and Papa John, among big chains. They both offer this option.
Mmmmm Garlic
another common grammatical error (which happens to be my main pet peeve) is the following one.
effective(ly) = When you do something effectively it means that you do achieve the required result ie, I effectively spent my money (I don’t have any money left and it really does not matter what I spent it on)
efficient(ly) = when you do something efficiently it means that you do achieve the best possible result ie, i effeciently spent my money (I only bought the items I absolutly needed/wanted and I might even have some money left to save for later)
Why hasn’t occupy the 99%?
FAIL!!
Intelligence is knowing tomatoes are a fruit, wisdom is not putting any in your fruit salad…
Good point. Because somebody might mistake it as a new kind of fruit that they discovered in Africa or something. Tomatoes do not taste good with whipped cream as well.
Casey Anthony is a winner, after all she won. The state of Floridia failed.
Casey Anthony killed her child! I know that for a fact because all of the evidence pointed to her and the stupid jury didn’t realize that! So, both Casey Anthony and the state of Flordia failed terribly!
Guys… Double-fail?
Florida*
Maybe you want to reconsider your piece on pizza. Ya kinda got the fact swrong. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/ezra-klein/post/did-congress-declare-pizza-as-a-vegetable-not-exactly/2011/11/20/gIQABXgmhN_blog.html
I didn’t know there was a state called Floridia.
WHY SO SERIOUS??? no, for real, why? enjoy the fails while they last, 2012 is… soon. its FAILBLOG, have fun. “IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZOR” on that note, im gone. i dont use my email, and i only come here when im bored to death…

This is the funniest thing I have read in a long time
Well, you can’t spell right. Plus you sound extremely biased and self-centered.
Also, when did Congress declare pizza a vegetable?
Sooooo many different subjects and people being offended by one another for what something that is suposed to make you laugh. It’s very sad. :’(
What happens to a fail events that happen between now and the ACTUAL end of 2011? Guess they’re in limbo? Sick of “____ of 2011″ lists coming out when only 11/12ths of the year has been competed. you’re neglecting 8.3% of the year!!!
I like how noone is debating the utter failure that is the Westboro Baptist Church.
because you don’t need to debate the fact that they are mentally handicapped.
and we don’t need to make fun of them because they do more damage to themselves than anybody could ever think of doing to their reputation
I thought ‘has been’ Newt Gingrich’s bubble to the top of the Republican presidential candidates was a huge FAIL. Not for him, but for the Republican Party. Gingrich was a lost cause for republicans until everyone else became major LET DOWNS. Win for Gingrich .. FAIL = Republican Party for NO real candidates. Whether we love or hate him Obama right now looks like he is a shoe in.
pizza? a vegetable??? thats really stupid…
Occupy is not fail. And all of you are toolbags.
it didn’t change a thing, other than organizing the largest public restroom in americuh
so r u noparty, so go suck it, will ya
I’m part of the 99% of the 99% that actually have a job… JOB = the 8 hours a day the rest of your family disappears for and (curiously enough) also the source of magical deposits in my bank account every 2 weeks… I’m part of the 99% and you idiots DO NOT represent me!
Not so sure about that; the goals for which OWS are fighting—clean elections, money out of politics, control of our government by actual, live people rather than by corporations—will benefit you whether you sign on to the movement or not.
i DIED laughing at the comments!!!!
Appropriate that the comments follow the Failure in Communication heading.
You people really need to get laid!!!!! ALL OF YOU!!!!
XD people actually fight over comments on a meme site?
:U lulz
I’m a 99%-er with a job. The majority of the protesters don’t reflect me because I’m not a “hippy” like most of them. I like corporations, the government, and all that great stuff that makes America such a nice place to live. What I don’t like are the people in said corporations and government. The idea of a company say Walmart starting from just 1 man’s idea and then turning into the huge corporation is the American dream. But when corporations pay off Congress and the Senate with campaign money and other “gifts” it creates corruption. Congress is doing what’s best for their wallets, and not what’s best for the rest of the nation. They are not representing the public, just themselves. All the while one side is fighting the other and blaming each other for the whole mess. While half the nation hates the GOP and blame them the other half hate the Democrats and blame them. The sad reality is that a handful of CEO that helped create the real problem not only walked away like nothing happened, but they all made a lot of money in the process. And who got the short end of the stick? The average everyday tax payer. Instead of those few big companies failing and going bankrupt, they stayed afloat and managed to keep all the debts on filling, these debts being the debts of the millions that are suffering the most in the Rescission.
OWS did nothing. The are one big city by city fail. Instead of camping out in parks like homeless people, they should have been starting grass roots projects to get new, people in office, ones the major corporations haven’t had a chance to corrupt.
tl;dr OWS = Fail.
They brought attention to the fact that the corporations have hijacked the country. The fact that the people behind the economic crash walked away Scot free while the average American is losing their house. The fact that the entire government has been bought and passes bills where the top 1% get paid and the bottom 99% get screwed. The fact that the banks were bailed out with trillions of dollars which they took home, plunging the country into deficit.
They didn’t fail. Occupy did and are still doing what they aimed to do – bring attention to the corruption of the powerful in the country as the rich get richer and the poor get homeless.
And they ARE starting grass roots projects. Look into wolf-pac.com
tl;dr OWS = Win
They should show the pictures to these titles! I mean like if they are going to tell us the top fails then they should show them to us to see why they are funny. It is like asking somebody if your ass is to big and they can’t even see your ass! You must show somebody your ass to let them tell you if your ass is big or not! Second, they don’t have to show all of the pictures that were really funny, or the pictures that are related to that section. It is like a essay were you pick the best facts to go with your essay. If you were doing a topic of the most epic failures of 2011 then show us some pictures that go along with that section! Last, I think that if they showed us some pictures then we might understand the concept more. If you are talking about an animal that you have to write about and the person that you are talking about it to doesn’t have a clue in the world to what it was (and the person didn’t have the interent so they couldn’t look up the picture of the animal) instead of explaining it from head to toe just USE A PICTURE!!!!! This is why Failblog must use pictures with these capitions that they have.

I just noticed that this comment thing has not been updated on the time because when I posted my last comment it was actually at 9:26 pm, not 8:26 pm.
Time zones. Learn about them.
Where’s Obama on that list? I guess, having the top two failers be political in nature wouldn’t look very good.
OWS did nothing. The are one big city by city fail. Instead of camping out in parks like homeless people, they should have been starting grass roots projects to get new, people in office, ones the major corporations haven’t had a chance to corrupt.
Did? They are not done; work is ongoing. So far, they are going in a very good direction; their final accomplishments have yet to be seen. Many of the people who meet and discuss issues at the various occupation sites may well be the candidates of the future, short- or long-term.
They’re still going. And they’ve done a lot more than you realise. We’re talking about the corruption of the U.S. government now, are we not?
sismebebek you quoted me… too bad I typed that too fast and didn’t re read it. The typo errors are many.
OWS did nothing, and are one big city-by-city fail. Instead of camping out in parks, acting like homeless people, they should have been starting grass roots projects to get new people in office, ones the major corporations haven’t had a chance to corrupt.
That’s a little better.

is it possible to grow pizza, just making sure
I don’t know about pizza but congress declared pizza sauce a vegetable so lets grow some pizza sauce

Bill O’Reilly’s “tides go in, tides go out, can’t explain that!” should have been an option.
gay people should not be allowed to marry!
Wrong place, buddy.
Three words that will end The United States economic crisis- Gay Wedding Registry.
That’s…Brilliant.
More weddings, more marriage license fees, more dress-clothing rentals, more wedding-site rental fees, more wedding presents being bought, reception and catering…
I don’t necessarily hold to the stereotype that homosexuals have ‘better taste’ or that they shop at more ‘high-class’ locations; Just Sayin’ if they did, the US economic crisis would be Over.
Seriously? More marriages can’t bring in 14 trillion dollars… lolololol
The average American Wedding costs $26,542. There are approximately 4 Million openly gay people in the U.S., and many more who are homosexual and either hide it or repress these feelings. Not all gay people will choose to marry, just as not all heterosexuals do. Because of this, I’ll not include those who are ‘in the closet’, so to speak. That gives us $106.168 Billion at a minimum. True, it’s not $14 Trillion, but it’s certainly not a kick in the teeth either.
We’ll soon no longer spending money in the Iraq war, so there’s some pocket change loosened up as well. Say Wall Street pays the US back the money they were lent, couple Billion dollars more crops back up.
Either way, my overall point isn’t just that we’ll make money, the real benefit is that we would be treating a class of people within our society just as we should; Like People.
pizza is a vegetable?!! Congress what’s WRONG WITH YOU!!!!!!!!
FML

if you read all theres coments congreats you have no life
*these
*comments
*congrats
….wait….
Okay, well accordingly now. Who cares what congress says is a fruit and what is a vegetable. It’s just a bunch of idiots arguing anyway. Secondly Science and faith both have amazing qualities and many people have proven some of each to be true. But, as with everything, you do not have to believe that what people say and prove is true. 1+1=2 for example, who says that it has to equal 2? I think it equals 72 and that 72 actually equal 9. Of course most people will say this is wrong because it’s not what the majority believes but in any case. Screw majority. Also saying that either the Big Bang or Creation, or Tim and Eric’s Chrimbus Special is in fact the truth is really far-fetched. Because of this sole reason: We do not know anything. We make things up that seem true and go along with them accordingly. Why do you think we always make mistakes? We don’t know what the truth really is. I really have no idea where I’m going with this but anyway, there has always been something. For there to be a nothing means that nothing was, and is something.
Well Mr. Smarty Pants,
I just typed 1+1 in my calculator and it said it equaled 2. In fact now I have done it 5 times and the result was always 2 so therefore it has been proven fact.
But 5 times 2 is 10?….. but anything times 1 is itself so maybe 1+1 5 times is 5….I’m lost
or is it 6?????????
ok so 1+(1×5)=6 but (1+1)5=10 or 1+1×5=6 again
maybe we have to divide it by pi and then find the square root of the result
Why isn’t my neighbor on this list? On May 24th, a water main busted and flooded every one’s apartments so she went on a rampage to City Hall saying that it was as big of a disaster as the string of tornadoes and FEMA should have been called.
How can the U.S. Congress not win? The government of a fairly large country declaring that pizza is a vegetable? That really sound more like something Kim Jong Il would do…
if pizza is a vegetable, then im really healthy
lol@ all these angry people arguing in the comments and pointing out trivial punctuation errors
piss balls
thread tl;dr
What the *%$ does “tl;dr” mean? Not all of us speak twatter.
wtf!!!! lol
people are generally morons
the two most common elements are hydrogen and stupidity
Well, stupidity isn’t an element, so in terms of life Carbon and Hydrogen are the most common elements, other than that Hydrogen is the most common by far. Also you’re stupid.
STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!!!
….blah, blah, blah
rebecca black w/ only ELEVEN PERCENT!?!?!?!?
*water spit*
I powered a top ten FAIL video?
I refuse to finish this senten
And secondly, I respectfully disagree that hydrogen is the most common element coz like if you go out on the street and ask people if they eva seen hydrogen they wou
read the top comment and wonder how the fck did you get this!!!
also hydrogen is most common over all as in WHAT ARE STARS MADE OF!!!
Well, if you believe Moby, stars are made of people, which is supported by Carl Sagan and Neil Tyson.
1. well how can we be sure that hydrogen is the most common element if we dont know what 90% of the universe is made of (aka dark matter) ?
2. i totally burned u sir
3. chew on that good will hunting
I’m surprised the Tea Party aren’t on the list. Or Fox News. After all, a recent study found that people who watch Fox News know LESS about domestic and international news/affairs than people who watch/read no news at all. Now THAT is a fail.
^ ^
This.
Considering the Tea Party and OWS are almost identical and you support OWS (commenting over 3 times on this page on OWS related issues and bashing Fox News) I have come to the conclusion that you are probably age 12-20 with no clue about the real world or how consumer capitalism works.
Well, let me be the first to tell you, OWS is a fail, so was the Tea Party, and all news stations are biased not only Fox.
Also, With a lack of support to show what that study is makes me think you pulled it out of your ass, which your Mum and Dad probably still wipe for you.
TL;DR? You’re a fail.
Sincerely,
Not anyone’s percentage
From someone who has been to Zuccotti Park, McPherson Square, and the Trenton War Memorial: courtastrophe, you are full of it.
(1) although says she is Australian, she does not say that she is actually residing in Australia now (though I would have made that assumption, too, I would have confirmed it before using it as a premise of my comment) (2) the corporate (née mainsteam)media is never to be relied on without independent verification, ad (3) income inequality is a “hot topic”, at least in part because of OWS-based discussions.
Verdict is still out; OWS has accomplished a lot, still working, though less visibly.
Oops, sorry; I forgot to go back and put Clarrisani’s name in the third line, second word in point (1).
I am living in Australia, but clearly I know a lot more than some people about what’s going on in America. I’m not being blinded by the misinformation being spun by the Republican bias media organisations (aka Fox News in particular) and get my information from reliable sources that tell it as it is. And if you consider pepper spraying defenceless people, or shooting rubber bullets in the faces of unarmed people “necessary”… Not to mention beating pregnant women who were passing through the area to get home in the stomach and them ending up miscarrying “necessary”. Or making people kneel with their hands tied on concrete for seven hours after dragging them from their tents where they were sleeping “necessary”.
I guess if you don’t believe in the first amendment right to free speech, it’s all fine to you. After all, free speech in America is reserved only for the people with money, not the common person.
As for your blind belief that they’re all “pot smoking” – that’s what makes me think you’re getting your info from Fox. They’re the ones who portrayed them as such, which is FAR from the truth. I’ve seen what happened in the various Occupied areas via videos from unbiased sources. They had volunteer cleaning crews, libraries, translators, information stations, medical teams… all made up from people who had lost their jobs due to the jobs being sent overseas. America currently has extremely high unemployment. Even people with multiple degrees and PhD’s are having issues getting jobs. It’s not that they didn’t do the work to get a job, or aren’t looking for a job, it’s simply that the jobs aren’t there.
Did you know that right now 1% of American’s control 40% of America’s wealth? And statistically over the years it has been found that the higher the tax rate for the rich, the more likely it is they will employ people and the more likely the country will go into surplice. Heck, go back to Regan’s tax rates. He taxed the rich at 50%.
Open your eyes to what is REALLY going on in your country. There is a reason why America lost their AAA rating, has a high unemployment, a huge deficit, and why it is bordering on civil war. It’s time to get money out of politics so that the people are represented, not the corporations. And no, despite what some of America’s politicians claim, corporations are NOT people.

Do you think people should be allowed to deliberately misrepresent their services in advertisement?
Yeah, you’re not being judgmental or childish at all.
#1, Don’t argue with idiots. They’ll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
#2, Go around any college campus and find a dozen people who claim to –support– OWS. Find out what they believe the movement is about.
#3, It’s cute how you think that smoking pot automatically makes someone inferior to you. It causes long-term damage to one’s memory, sure, but so does a lot of things. Pick your poison, man.
The Senate has not passed a Constitutionally-required budget for nearly 1,000 days. Harry Reid should be removed from office.
Agreed.
