Has anything made you laugh/cry for humanity lately?

I live in Oregon… And the pithy phrase “wimpy cultural smartness” must be displayed on our flag. Right now I think it is a snake on a blue background or something else equally stupid.

Ron Wyden Wyden and Peter DeFazio have been contacted. (I am not joking). I actually know DeFazio. My sister worked for him a bit and he generally answers my crap pretty fast. He sends us Christmas cards.

Well I played the Oregon trail game and never left Independence Missouri I put all my money into 1 oxen and 2000 food and watched my family grow old and die… I made it to two years before I died of a fever. I was a doctor but I starved my family and rationed the food until it was just me then I went full rations.
~ just to be realistic. Not everyone plays the game the same, but I had won the game 5 times in row, I was ironically waiting for my check to clear to get some food for myself. ~

If I had any emotions for humanity, I would be crying constantly.

Ahahahaha, I had to make sure that I wasn’t reading The Onion.

A few nights ago, I was at a bar and all they had were these beers with weird names like foot shredder or 3 beans. I ordered one of them and what I got was Heineken with foam. I hate hipsters.

I’m having a hard time determining what is suppose to be funny in that article. It seems rather logical. As someone who used to smoke pot, I’d rely heavily on the smell and dealers taste/feel notes when determining which type of weed I wanted.

Same goes for ordering new beers at the bars. How would you determine what you want otherwise?

The way the Trayvon Martin case has become a predictable media circus completely disconnected from the actual facts of the case brings tears to my eyes for humanity. What the GOP is doing to North Carolina, a sate where voters are still sensible and deeply opposed to these moves, but where GOP gerrymandering has made voter will irrelevant. The constant push of the War on Science to legally force high-school and college science courses to teach creationism. Sad… very sad.

The same things that have always brought me to tears, lack of empathy and compassion for others. We all live our little lives, moaning about everything under the sun, but do we get up and DO SOMETHING to help? Do we contact our legislators? Do we take food to the hungry or take clothes to the homeless? Most people are so apathetic about REAL problems that it’s sickening.

When we talk politics or religion, or like @ETpro says, Treyvon, just remember that while we’re bickering over details, someone is getting murdered, raped, starving, or a child is being molested, millions of animals are starving or abused or neglected as well – that is the reality I wish more people expended their energy on. Peace.

Yes. I cry for humanity when the US lost the 4th Amendment.

An acquaintance just returned from Russia and told us stories of a sad nature on how these people live.
No clean water available so that is why they drink vodka etc
No Pensions ( he is teacher there).
To know that the price of a DVD or Itune could pay for a child to eat etc
In my small way I give to second hand stores,libraries (DVD’s /books ) for those that can’t afford to go to a movie etc.
Do what small thing you can do to start the ball rolling.
It makes a difference in there lives.
If and when I can afford it I intend to give to charity.

Florida recently outlawed any devices capable of accessing the internet. By accident.

Michelle Bachmann and Tom Cruz, every time they open their mouths.
