Too much wordy. Not enough funny.

150 people die from falling coconuts? That sounds more like a worldwide statistic than a United States statistic. That's comparing apples to coconuts.
I was walking my sister's Newfoundland, and we met the creepy guy walking his Rottweiler. It was the first time I'd ever heard her dog - who loved every dog he ever met - growl. He was reacting to the confrontational attitude of the Rottweiler.
You can say it's not the fault of a breed, and that it has a lot to do with training. But pit bulls are so overbred, like our legless chihuahuas, that they're dangerous from the start. Couple that with an asshat who wants to lengthen his penis by owning a pitbull, and you've got trouble waiting to happen.

Isn't that the way? You're told something all your life, only to find out on Neatorama that it's really not the case.
Astrology is a very old superstition based on the movements of the stars in the sky. Certain constellations were thought to preside over different times of the year. Its popularity today remains because of its idea that you can predict the outcomes of certain events or actions based on a person's birthdate or the particular time of year. It's also used to make sweeping generalizations about people's characters and psychological attributes. Finally, people use astrology for matchmaking and compatibility, because the stars know best.
I remember a hindu wedding that was delayed for hours until the stars lined up just right.
To me, that's as superstitious as the horoscope in the daily paper - probably more so, because a lot of people don't really take the paper horoscope that seriously.
And the best time to attack a neighbour is when his back is turned - duh.

Another reminder of how we fail to appreciate what we already have. What a blight upon the landsscape this woul d be.

Jerse, it's amazing that you just can't see the absurdity of what you're saying. I could rip apart the illogic in every paragraph of your last comment.
Do I really have to explain that my "Men are pressured to look sexy" comment was tongue-in-cheek? Sorry, I thought most Neatorama readers had a little discernment.
Jerse, you must be trolling. No sane person could post what you wrote, with so many inconsistencies and deliberate twisting of other people's words, and then try to bait me with insults.
Thanks for trying, anyways.
One question, though, do you think in Saudi Arabia that women can even dare to dream, let alone be allowed to discuss, the freedom and ideals that women in the Western world take for granted?

Doesn't do it for me.
Reminds me of old people trotting out the pictures of the grandkids. Want to look at my family album? At least we knew how to do different poses...

D-uh.
I wouldn't do it. I think that's pretty much why it's funny. Because some scumbags got the tables turned on them. Guess what? They deserve much worse than that. It's a shame they couldn't truly be brought to justice for the pain they have caused many innocent people.
If it took their time away from trying to swindle money out of old people and duping the gullible, I'd say it's time well spent.
Is it harmful? Give me a break. Perhaps they learned a valuable life lesson.

The year's just beginning, biltmore.
The music was nice, but it's kind of obscene-looking to watch him play it. I think it's the look in his eyes.
It's the shape and holes that matter more than the material, if you're just building a simple recorder.
Nifty.

Geez, change your name, Mr Wilson. You're making me embarrassed.
In your flawed example, you respond to the guy selling fake watches by stealing from him. That's not what happening here, and you know it. If you said, "Hip to his con, I pretend to sell him timeshares in Florida", it would have been more accurate. But that's less "immoral" sounding, isn't it?
They're not the most brilliant people, obviously. But they are deliberately trying to steal from you and from me. This trick does nothing to harm them, but mess with their minds a little. That's hardly "immoral".

Maybe "With a little more digging" isn't the right phrase to use when discussing research into mass graves.

Writer's strike? Is there only one writer on strike?
Or is there a Neatorama Editors' strike, too?

Jerse, I'm not surprised by your comments. I guess I don't know anything. I'm just some silly "westerner" ranting about stuff I've seen on biased 3-minute documentaries. I have no mind of my own.
You accuse others of taking your words out of context, and not paying attention to what you're saying, but you're doing exactly that to me. You call ME condescending? Come on...
Maybe the reason that arranged marriages last is that the women have absolutely no rights - they have to stay married to survive, no matter who they're married to.
I never said I saw any women grocery shopping in burkas. Most Muslim women I know don't go to that extreme around here - they have at least a little freedom. They still wear traditional clothing, but they generally don't cover their faces. Re-read my comment to see what I said exactly.
I wouldn't lie about what I've seen happen in grocery stores and in cars. It's the same type of sexism that you see occasionally for other cultures besides Muslim ones.
As for covering men up, I was trying to make a point. Why do only Muslim WOMEN cover themselves up? Why not Muslim MEN, too? Why should men not also show some modesty? Because covering a woman entirely is based on the old custom of treating women as property, to be seen only by the man who owns her.
Oh no! Jerse called me a homosexual! When you start losing an argument, call your opponent gay? Nice touch. Really classy. Or did you think you were "schooling my ass", too?
Next time, try not to resort to name-calling.

Hey, Rohin.
Yeah, I don't claim that we, as a society, don't have stereotypes for other religions, too. But that doesn't make it a good thing, does it?
And you can only really make that claim about Scientologists since they are such a small group - but there are small, divisive groups within the Scientology world, too.

You come up with inaccurate comparisons, and ridiculous demands for proof. Nobody needs to provide a reason to why this isn't wrong. Park your ego at the door, dude.
Maybe you should send out millions of e-mails asking people to pay for the surgery to have that pickle removed from your ass.
