My mom asked me how to screenshot on her iPhone. I laughed and then remembered she taught me how to use a spoon and a toilet.

One in a Hundred

Friend: I just don’t get why some schools can require kids get certain vaccines. Me: There are many reasons. One of the reasons is herd immunity. To protect kids who can’t get vaccines. Like ones with leukemia. Friend: But that’s only several kids out of a hundred. Me: Think of peanut allergies. Maybe it’s just one kid in the class, but we still don’t bring peanuts to class for that reason. Friend: You know, that’s never really made sense to me either. Why does everyone else have to give up peanuts for one kid? Me: Is it that big of a sacrifice to not have peanuts during the school day? Friend: I guess not. But my point is that if something only affects one out of a hundred people, why do we make a change? Me: Fair thought. Let’s think of it this way. Let’s say you’re walking down a street with one hundred people, okay? Friend: Okay. Me: And you see one suddenly topple over, and he’s unable to breath. No pulse. Friend: Okay. Me: Do you try to resuscitate him? Friend: Yeah! Me: Why? He’s just one in hundred. Friend: But that- I don’t see how… Me: … Friend: I think I get it.

CONCRETE ACTION: Take Paul Ryan’s Obamacare phone poll if you haven’t already. It’s easy! You don’t have to talk to any humans! 1. Call (202) 225-0600. 2. Wait through the 30 SECONDS OF RANDOM SILENCE, before finally being connected to his phone poll on ACA. 3. You’ll hear a recorded voice giving you options. Press 2 to weigh in on the issue. You’ll hear a brief (and biased) recording about HR-3762, Paul Ryan’s proposal to gut the ACA, and President Obama’s use of his vetopower to stop it. Then, you will have a chance to indicate your opinion with the press of a button. 4. Press 1 if you support Obamacare, 2 if you oppose it. You can just press your selection while the biased recording is going on. I’ve been informed you don’t have to listen to the entire thing. 5. You’ll be thanked for your time and invited to leave a voicemail for Speaker Ryan

“We’re the worst terrorists in the world and it was a long time coming. This entire country was built on the slaughter of innocents. And we got what we deserved. Just look at the history of US involvement in the Middle East. All those countries are artificial. We created those countries like plastic after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. And the only way to rule a plastic country is with a dictator. Assad, Hussein, the Shah—we propped them all up. Decades of torture, murder, and oppression. We sponsored it. So I say it whenever I can. I’ve had people threaten to kill me. I’ve had people threaten to rape my children. But I’ll keep saying it. You can call me a monster. I think the people in those towers died as representatives for the rest of us for our crimes against humanity. Not only do I think that 9/11 was deserved. I think it was one of the greatest events in human history.“

In the last few days, there have been 3 major terrorist attacks that have gone hugely unreported by mainstream media: 

June 28th - Ataturk Airport Attack, Turkey - 45 dead, 238 injured

July 2nd - Dhaka Cafe Attack, Bangladesh - 22 dead, 40 injured

July 3rd - Baghdad Shopping Mall Attack, Iraq - 130 dead (the death toll so far), over 160 injured 

All in Muslim-majority countries. All during the Holy Month of Ramadan. And all committed by ISIS. 

And yet people still have the audacity to claim that “all Muslims are terrorists”, or paint those in the West as terrorism’s biggest victims.
