    Re: Hey folks, you remember common sense?

    9261290100133004104781Speaking of the Darwins... One of my favorites, and proof that stupid people don't need anything more than stupidity to cause a fatality:

    (mid-1980s, Tennessee) A mile down the road from Middle Tennessee State University, a couple of young, very drunk MTSU frat boys climbed a barbed wire fence that was intended to keep lesser mortals out of an electric substation. One frat boy climbed to the top of a transformer. That alone was an obviously bad idea, but it got worse when he urinated on the transformer on which he stood. As if electrocution via genitalia wasn't bad enough, consider his motivation to pee: a wasp nest "target" attached to the transformer. Needless to say, the wasps were the lesser of his worries. He did not live long.

    [/QUOTE]

    Reminds me of a similar story in my area. Some copper thieves thought the substation would be the mother load...

        I do not have as big an arsenal as I would like ... but, In my humble opinion , weapons are like good friends ... you can never have too many !

          I'm really not worried about much except a plague. Maybe a natural disaster. People going nuts trying to hurt you and your family. Ever watch the Walking Dead. It's on TV Sunday nights. Now if we have Zombies coming after you trying to eat you, wouldn't you want LOTS of guns and ammo?

            You used "Zombies" and "if" in the same sentence. Obama was re-elected, what does that say about the majority of voters? Same I.Q.

            I can't think of a better reason than that to be well armed, because it would appear the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living, and when that collapses... let's just say the ant was better armed than the grasshopper in Aesop's Fable.

              " it would appear the people who work for a living are outnumbered by the people who vote for a living, "

              Did you see in the news last week where some woman that worked in the voter registration branch of her city was caught VOTING several times for Obama ?
              Could you imagine a professed democrat committing voter fraud ?

                Yeah, I caught that - and she didn't think she did anything wrong. That's part of the problem - we aren't quite as outnumbered as the votes would make it appear, just that the voter fraud is much more heavily skewed toward keeping the liberals in office so that the handouts continue. Anyone willing to take from what I've worked for so that they won't have to... let's just say the moral corruption goes all the way through.

                  Looks like someone forgot to use their common sense before opening their mouth about common sense...

                    No, it's not supposed to be a myth, but look at the world today. Common sense certainly has become mythical.

                      Common sense is now considered a superpower... Faster than a speeding bullet. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Wins a debate with a liberal in 8 words or less.

                        Yeah, 'cause the replublcans would never commit election fraud. No, wait, yes they would and did two elections in a row. lol. So that moron bush could be pres.

                          Actually, I'm pretty sure the New York Times said that wasn't the case. But I'm not sure, so if you know better, let me know.

                            Wouldn't say that - just that it's vastly more common on the (D) side of the ticket.

And then he bitches about global warming while flying around in his private personal jet. . liberals. Don't like someones view and start name calling . Moron huh.

                              Moron is your opinion, phony is a fact.

                                Sorry, I didn't mean to ruffle any feathers. I just figured it was common knowledge that bush is a moron.
                                I don't want to single anyone out though. I also think most politicians are crooks, and only care about making themselves and their rich buddies even richer. Liberal and conservative, just two sides of the same coin.
