Your candidate does bad things. Your candidate does hypocritical things
Edited on Tue Jul-17-07 09:57 PM by jpgray
All while getting a $400 haircut, voting in favor of a bankruptcy IWR bill and threatening a 20,000 sq ft sea bass illuminated by non-florescent bulbs that have been left on too long.

Seriously. Every public figure does bad hypocritical things. If you're one of those tedious people who freaks out about -every- instance of hypocrisy and -all- cases of bad decisions, one who is always looking for purity and refusing to compromise a whit, I have this advice for you:

Take off the slave labor t-shirt you're wearing, pay 250% more for goods to protest our economy of global feudalism, empty your fridge out of compassion for the farm thresher gastropod genocide, give as many gallons of blood as you've used in gasoline and then starve yourself to death. You're wasting more energy sitting there at your computer in any given hour than a Kalahari Bushman uses in his entire life. You're an asshole who obviously can't and shouldn't care about the suffering of others, because you're swathed in hypocrisy and your decadent lifestyle is keeping others down at this very moment. Jerk.

3. I'll probably caucus for Kucinich again
But I like horsies, and the glycerin content in his pomade is troubling to me.

6. And she's better looking!
So he's both ageist and superficially attracted to common paradigms of beauty, seeing only the exterior.

Boy, this kind of shit is way too easy. That must be why scolds love to indulge in it.

7. If i were to meet Kucinich in person, I would have to
use an expression that was popular among the *guys in high school, used typically in congratulatory fashion in relation to locker-room conversation:



You old dog, you!


*I, of course, never said that to anyone (nor was I ever the recipient, for that matter)

9. It is ridiculously easy. But at least we know we have many completely -perfect- people on DU
Otherwise they'd be engaging in--gasp--hypocrisy.

11. Ok...
what I want to know is how many people on this forum live in a cave, dressed only in the skin they were born in, eat only leaves and berries(No pick-a-nick baskets) and how in the hell do they power their computers?

15. Suicide follows from a guilt-free life.
And even then that's not totally true, as the guilt from leaving behind loved ones probably swallows whatever good one might bring into the world by voluntarily quitting it.

And now a word from our sponsors:



The only responsible option is to deny oneself the ideological misuse of one’s own existence, and as for the rest, to behave in private as modestly, inconspicuously and unpretentiously as required, not for reasons of good upbringing, but because of the shame that when one is in hell, there is still air to breathe. -Theodor Adorno, 1951
