I am exagrating of course. But as far as I am aware during colonial times the British empire used cow fat for some part on their weapons you tend to bite. That made the Indian people reasonably mad.

You're thinking of what was the last straw that sparked the Sepoy mutiny of 1854, I imagine. Word got out that either beef or pig fat had been used to treat the paper cartridges troops in India were using (things were still muzzle loading black powder muskets back then), which common practice was to bite off the ball and hold it in your mouth while while you primed the pan and poured the powder down the barrel. This made it taboo for both Hindu and Muslim troops (the two religions that made up the overwhelming majority of the Sepoy regiments), and was the last in a long line of grievances that led to open rebellion, despite the British quickly realizing their mistake and switching to vegetable-based oil for the cartridges.

The overwhelming majority of Dustin strips are the boomer-age father browbeating and degrading his son for not bootstrapping his way into success, despite Dustin constantly working any and all jobs he can get his hands on. I leave you to guess what his opinions on UHC are. Me, I'd guess he has either a medium or large problem with it.

I leave you to guess what his opinions on UHC are. I prefer to believe Wikipedia's take on Dustin, personally. quote:Dustin Kudlick, the titular character of the comic strip. A 23-year-old college graduate who failed to find regular employment in the current economy after graduating and thus moved back home to live with his parents. He is constantly trapped in a cycle of dead-end temp jobs and grueling manual labor, frequently shown putting in long hours at a car wash or asking his supervisor at the temp agency for more career-enhancing assignments that might help him break out of the cycle of wage slavery, not to mention troubling in developing relationships with women and a budding inventor. Despite his dysfunctional family atmosphere, Dustin remains stoic, a heroic everyman and inspiration to the reader, as he endures and strives, trying to find true employment and happiness. The Talk page discussion of Dustin in pretty great too. Edit: fixed link VitalSigns fucked around with this message at 02:56 on Jan 6, 2014 |

The author clearly intends that we side with Dustin's father in mocking his supposedly shiftless layabout son, but as VitalSigns has posted examples of, most readers go the other direction. It's one of the regular strips that we post in the BSS Comic Strip Megathread, and gets AGC'd quite a bit in that direction. Someone, though I forget who, does "Dustin's supportive family" edits on occasion where the vitriol is replaced with loving encouragement in a non-toxic family environment. Still can't believe the author hasn't complained about that wiki entry, honestly.And no one got my cups joke. Captain_Maclaine fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Jan 6, 2014 |

When a woman spermjacks a high-status man, she's not "sinning" any more than a lioness "sins" when she kills and eats an antelope - both creatures are acting according to their natures, and shouldn't be blamed for that. When Muir's female characters successfully spermjack their lovers, the men don't chide them for their wickedness: they smile and shrug and admit that they were bested by a superior opponent. Muir does shame promiscuous women, but that's because he believes they're acting foolishly - the smart thing for a woman to do is focus her efforts on winning and keeping a superior man, not waste her feminine charms on a succession of losers.

Does anyone have the comic of the guy who invents the cure for cancer, then Obama says "you didn't build that" and the guy throws it away dejectedly? I realized recently that I use that comic as an aphorism when I run into largely psychological setbacks. I'll be acting all overly negative then I just think, do you really want to be the guy who threw away the cure for cancer because Obama hurt your feelings? I still have trouble grasping there's any other way to interpret that cartoon. I couldn't find the artist in the OP...he probably should be in there. This is the same guy who gave us "Obamacare destroyed my job forever!" Anyway, it's June 2011 in Dahl's Japan. Presented without comment this week, since apparently those were annoying.  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9

hope n change quote:The president signed the anti-slavery proclamation in Hawaii, where he is currently taking a multi-million dollar luxury vacation funded entirely by taxpayers whom he forced to work for free (singing Stephen Foster songs and turning over their pay to The Man in the big White House) under threat of severe punishment. quote:once slavery is handled, what about human trafficking which forces women to be degraded in the sex industry? For starters, the president is closing our borders to prevent women from being brought in and...ha, ha! Just kidding! Closing the borders is off the table, because Democrats believe it's so important to let in more potential Hispanic voters that they have no problem whatsoever with also getting criminals, terrorists, and sex slaves by the truckload! quote:Obamacare has made such a point of ensuring that every female in our country has unlimited access to free birth control, abortion services, and horrendously bad role models. Clearly, the president believes "there's no need for whores when all women are sluts"
