What will happen to Stude’s oreskin-fay?

What will happen to it? Nothing. It will stay where nature put it, unless he decides at a later date that he’d like to change that.

Let the flames begin.

I’m just in favor of extinction. Mass sterilization is where it’s at; not just for “incompetents” or wingnuts, but for the entire human race. At least it’s worth considering. I’m thinking humanity was a well-intentioned, but failed experiment.

On my more dystopic days, I’m cheering for the big pandemic with a high mortality rate.

Mass sterilization needs some sort of government intervention, I say let the earth take care of it on her own.

I haven’t decided if it’s a failed experiment, or that the parameters need to be readjusted. Overall, I like the idea of leaving somewhere between 20 to 300 million of us remaining. At least that way, everything else has some time to recover, before we start totally fucking it up again.

I just hope the silo operators, nuclear reactor people, etc. have time to power down before they drop dead.

You have to admire the guy for the barefaced way he slips in the assumption that wasteful, profligate, unproductive use of health-care moneys is a strategy chosen by Americans as a group, rather than by lobbyists. Any pretense at good-faith argument goes out the window at that point.
Douthat is fortunate that his christianity takes no stand on the “Telling the truth vs. Bearing false witness” issue.

And don’t forget Second Amendmentville, a dark hellhole of a town in which all the denizens are armed and full of fear, and who dwell in a labyrinth of slippery slopes.

In other news, the wastefulness and incompetence of the US education system proves that y’all desire to indoctrinate impressionable young minds with propaganda (which is why Obama school speech blah blah blah);

and the disproportionate amount of GDP spent on the US military proves that SHUT UP SMUT.

Let he who is without arterial plaque cast the first double-cheeseburger with extra bacon & jumbo fries!

And while it’s all the rage to eat the placenta nowadays, what I really want to know is

What will happen to Stude’s oreskin-fay?

One thing that puzzles me still though is that we’re actually less healthy than other developed countries. So, all that “quest for mastery”, er… we’re doin it wrong.

I always wonder about that… lower than almost all developed nations on indexes of poverty, democracy, birth mortality rates, discrepancy between rich and poor, etc…

yup. doin it wrong.

Not being in the habit of either weighing newborns or stretching them out next to rulers, I’ll stick with d/t:

September 19 @ 6 PM (same time of day I was born, but don’t hold that against the little creature plz).

If the prize is placenta you can donate it to a DFH potluck … I’m on Doctor Nick’s Chocolate-Enriched No-Afterbirth Diet™.

Sunday, September 13, 2:35 am EST
weight: 8lbs 11oz
length: of labor?
I’d say you start Saturday, September 12th, around 9:15 pm EST

i’ll say thursday the 10th, at 2:45 PM EST.

Oh, um, June 6th, 6:66am in the year 6666.

Im still trying to wrap my mind around this one- so if we didn’t care about being immortal, we’d be like France, getting better healthcare for less money. Somehow, our immortal desires trip us up, and make us give too much money for not enough service. Oh, and we also screw up the whole immortality thing by eating bag after bag of Doritos and never exercising. And smoking. And not wearing seatbelts.

I’ve heard that businesses in the NYCity area sometimes pay a lot for garbage collection- this probably comes from their unique quest for mastery over cleanliness.

(my best to you, l.d.m.m.ph.d and gavin! congratulations!)

Slippery slopes: not all bad?
