In order to forego further discussion (argument) on the issue of college for girls, this article will outline the principal reasons for shunning college for girls.
Before unleashing the Dogs of War** on me, Jezebel does it much better.

because we all some a few of us know it wouldn’t be long before it would be implemented on this side of the ocean. For all we know, perhaps it has already been implemented in, you know, some country on this side of the ocean. A simple executive order would do it, for the most part, and Congress wouldn’t ever have to be consulted. Nor would the electorate.
Sound familiar?
Quoting an outside news source is now illegal. Linking to a news site is illegal. Opposing the government on your personal blog, of course, was already illegal, and those who did so were routinely prosecuted. –the Daily Dot

The New York Times revealed Tuesday that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has access to the entirety of telecom giant AT&T’s phone records.
the Hemisphere program enables swifter and more reliable tracking of drug dealers. The program “simply streamlines the process of serving the subpoena to the phone company so law enforcement can quickly keep up with drug dealers… –salon.com
What dumbassery.
Of course the American government and the DEA can quickly keep up with drug dealers by using a vast and illegal database. That’s why the importation and use of drugs is way, way down and rapidly decreasing. Because, you know, the government is listening, and the drug dealers are so very afraid.
Unrelated, but I have to say it anyway:
Already the American Constitution lies in tatters. Judges and courts spout corporate and government propaganda in their judgements. The middle class has been raped, pillaged and destroyed by greedy corporations. Politicians of all stripes are bought, sold and traded by big business and the lobbying machines like nothing more than the cattle they are. Mainstream media, owned by giant corporations, ignores and abdicates their responsibilities, then lines up to see who can kiss more government ass, faster.
The biggest joke of all: Ignorant citizens, ad nauseum, hold high three-word signs, much photographed, proudly declaring, We the People.
Doesn’t anyone know the rest of it?
The next two presidential elections will seal the fate of America. If not one of them will begin to put an end to the abject stupidity, there will be no end to the road America has chosen to travel. Ever. Sadly, many nations will be drawn in to Amercia’s nightmare, as others have in the past during related excursions by other countries.
I really hope I’m wrong on this, but I don’t think I will be.
As they say on their web site, it’s all been swell – unless you’re a paid customer. They even had the temerity to post their picture.
I warned about subscribing to a paid theme, particularly Chris Pearson’s DIY Thesis series of blunders and owner/manager stupidity and pigheadedness. Now 8bit, another fly-by-night paid WordPress theme builder, has closed its doors. You can read about 8bit’s disgruntled paid subscribers and their money-down-the-drain woes here. Don’t take too long, though. They’ll soon be disappearing with all the marbles. And the cash.
Scroll down their page to read some of the comments from disgruntled customers who paid for the theme and “lifetime” support, only to learn that the outfit would be going out of business only a few months later. The joke is on you, sucker.
Here are a few prime reasons for not subscribing to a paid WordPress theme:
this is the final goodbye and the Support Forums will continue to be open for another 30 days – after that we will no longer support our products, including our core product Standard Theme.
The losers can’t even afford to keep the support forums online for the fools that paid for a service. Obviously, the complete incompetence of the outfit extends to “better ideas” too. Adding insult to injury, the hapless losers recommend that their customers could move on to two other paid themes. Yeah, right. I’m sure they’ll be doing that real soon now.
Whatever you do, folks, do not, ever, subscribe to Chris Pearson’s Thesis DIY themes. Consider yourself warned.
If 8bit was capable of paying a few bucks out of the cash they fleeced from recent subscriptions, you’d think they could at least afford to lay out a little of their customers’ money to keep a web site open for a year. Yuk yuk yuk it up, customers. You lose too.
There will be a lot more of this, I’m sure, in the paid theme business. Fortunately, I had nothing invested in 8bit.
Thesis DIY is another matter entirely, and I’m happy that I now have moved away from the loser of a theme and owner/manager/tech support “guru” Chris Pearson who could care less about my investment in a promised product that was never, ever! delivered in a timely manner.
It’s all been swell if you’re pocketing the cash.
The Americans are still at it.
the Obama administration bluntly accused the Syrian government of Bashar Assad on Friday of launching a chemical weapons attack that killed at least 1,429 people — far more than previous estimates — including 426 children. –National Post
Not even Great Britain, a nation with its boots stuck so far up America’s ass that only the heels are visible from the outside, chooses to polish American jackboots this time – thanks to a Parliament that decided not to be duped again.
the international community cannot allow a “thug and a murderer” to use weapons of mass destruction with impunity.
Thanks for that little nugget of insanity, John Kerry. Now then, when will you American thugs and murderers stop butchering men, women and children around the world with impunity? Your drone strikes put you and yours in the same thug and murderer category, n’est-ce pas?
It would appear that you have only recently become aware that you are a Canadian citizen. You spent four years in Canada as a born-in-Canada, card-carrying socialist Communist Canadian. In light of that, those damnable Tea Partiers that you must satisfy beyond any reasonable doubt have questions with regard to the following:
* Yes, I know. It’s the same as **. But just in case Mr. Cruz probably wasn’t aware of it. At all.
Ed Burkhardt, you beyond stupid son of a bitch, spring the bucks for a passport you so obviously don’t have and get your fat, wrinkled, white Yankee ass to the site of your latest public relations disaster. Even though everything you know about a foreign country says that Canada is a socialist, almost-communist state with “free” healthcare (since the ’60s, I might add), go there anyway. You know, like after you actually get a passport in order that you can go back where you came from, the sooner the better. Don’t be afraid. Your own government won’t likely put you on a no-fly list, even if you do read satire and salon.com.
The citizens of Lac-Mégantic won’t tar and feather you with the product you transport – at least, not until they separate you from your bodyguards.
This stupid shit, Burkhardt, actually joked that he would need a bullet-proof vest to visit Canada. Doesn’t the dumbass know that Canada isn’t a state in Amerikuh? That’s a rhetorical question, by the way, for you Americans who don’t get Canadian humor.
Twenty dead, fifty missing, and Brian Williams turns it into a geography lesson for Americans. Apparently, the dumbasses don’t know they have a state called New Hampshire. Check out the video and snooze through a litany of what constitutes New Hampshire. Or, visit salon.com and be declared an enemy of the United States of America.
