weird how marrying someone makes their siblings your siblings in law. kinda implies your spouse is your sibling, which is kinda gross

its kind of implying you and your spouse are the same person according to law

accordingly, sex inside marriage is legally masturbation

arnold made his initial money from a bricklaying company where he would go to people's houses and tell them their chimneys were dangerously close to collapsing then him or one of his bodybuilder friends would get up on the roof and push over the perfectly good chimney

If the right people had been in charge of Nixon's funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin.

These are harsh words for a man only recently canonized by President Clinton and my old friend George McGovern -- but I have written worse things about Nixon, many times, and the record will show that I kicked him repeatedly long before he went down. I beat him like a mad dog with mange every time I got a chance, and I am proud of it. He was scum.

Let there be no mistake in the history books about that. Richard Nixon was an evil man -- evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency. Nobody trusted him -- except maybe the Stalinist Chinese, and honest historians will remember him mainly as a rat who kept scrambling to get back on the ship.

It is fitting that Richard Nixon's final gesture to the American people was a clearly illegal series of 21 105-mm howitzer blasts that shattered the peace of a residential neighborhood and permanently disturbed many children. Neighbors also complained about another unsanctioned burial in the yard at the old Nixon place, which was brazenly illegal. "It makes the whole neighborhood like a graveyard," said one. "And it fucks up my children's sense of values."

Many were incensed about the howitzers -- but they knew there was nothing they could do about it -- not with the current president sitting about 50 yards away and laughing at the roar of the cannons. It was Nixon's last war, and he won.

the idea that if you own something you should be able to do whatever you want with it is ludicrous

see: cars, guns, pets, land, aircraft, chemicals, waste

but of course that's the point of the thread right? if you own your car that doesn't mean you are allowed to operate an unlicensed taxi service with it

if it doesn't effect someone else negatively then sure do whatever, hint: the house thing you're complaining about doesnt, the illegal taxi service does
