I hope you have plenty of tissues handy to dry your eyes. We know you're all persecuted.

Funny, we all laughed at it, and unanimously agreed he had to be a democrat. Then we shook our heads and remembered that these are the people running our country.

Who died and appointed you Education Czar for the Department of Undoing Media Bias (D.U.M.B.)?

This thread was started to show a clip of someone who was trying to be a pseudo intellectiual or self-important or whatever...but mostly just a total dumbazz regardless of race, gender, political affiliation, yadadadada. And an Admiral who was amazingly cool in an absurd situation.

And since you've taken it into the realm of media bias, what about the obvious bias on talk radio? But that, too, is not what thread was intended to be.

F$@& Can't we have one F#%$ing thing that doesn't get political? I'm so sick of listening to everyone piss and moan about how the other side are nothing but idiots. That's why I stay out of PARF. Can't you just take it for what it is and realize there are idiots on both sides and just laugh about it? Jeez!

He couldn't even come up with "narrow" and a synonym for narrow other than "least widest". This bonehead has got to go. Let see: He replaced Cynthia McKinney, another arrogant, liberal "genius" so what's next? Perhaps the winner of "Are you smarter than a 5th grader"?

The man used his hands to illustrate something tipping over. I don’t think there is any mistake. He actually thought the island would tip over.

Which probably explains that as we "speak" there are 241 people viewing OT and 21 viewing PARF.

He seems to think islands "float" like a boat. I wonder if he thinks it has an anchor to keep it in place.

We have progressed from 1984, EVERYTHING is political.

[Jim Richards]

It's currently only afloat due to the use of weather balloons. That's why my skyhook suggestion is the answer when they deploy more troops there.

Totally agree. With idiots like this running this country, now we know why we are bankrupt and going deeper with each minute.

OK, OK, OK...I'll agree we've had idiots running this country (into the ground) for the last 21 years (or more).

It's official...banish this thread to PARF. You guys happy now?

[Jim Richards]

Yep, it's so PARFy thanks to a few people that can't separate laughing at an complete idiot (and feeling sorry for that poor admiral that was so patient) from their incessant political crying. Hate, hate, hate, whine, whine, whine, beetch, beetch, beetch, cry, cry, cry. Repeat.

I think it's funny how some of you decided to make my SECOND post political, while missing that my FIRST post called you all a bunch of freaking idiots.

Because, you're being a bunch of freaking idiots. Look out, it might rain cats and dogs this afternoon. You might get bit by a mosquito as big as a house! That idiot driving past me today was flying!

Whadda country!!!!

[ramonesfreak]

watched this yesterday and its fairly clear that he didnt mean literally tip over..as he goes on to talk about the environmental balance being thrown off. he is clearly a poor communicator though and perhaps, dumb. but to believe for a second that he meant that the island with tip over is ridiculous

[GH85Carrera]

You must have watched a different video that most of us. It is very clear to me that he means the island could tip over like a boat. The man is an idiot.
