A surprise birthday party went horribly wrong after girls between the age of 13 and 17 years accidentally became pregnant. A simple weekend pool party turned to tragedy when one of the young men attending the birthday celebration ejaculated in the pool without warning the house guests, accidentally ending up impregnating half of the girls present at the celebration.

Emory's student newspaper, The Wheel, said Wagner outlined four steps that administrators plan to take in order to address the issues raised by the protesters who said they were in pain in a campus-wide email.

Wagner added that the Freedom of Expression Committee is meeting to address whether the person or people responsible for the chalking were in compliance with Emory’s policy.
 
He said that they would debate technical issues, such as whether or not the chalkings were done on an appropriate surface.
 
However, he believes that the broader concern motivating the protests had to do more with the ideas the chalkings stood for than how they were done.
 
The Wheel also reported that the students this week chanted, 'You are not listening! Come speak to us, we are in pain!' shortly before Wagner agreed to meet with them.

Poor babies. Social media responded...

'The crybaby students forfeited any expectation of an open discussion with their demands that any talk or chalk of Trump should be banished from their fantasyland.'
 
 'I have no idea how you kids will survive once you get out into the real world. People have different opinions than you. You need to grow up, and fast.'
 
One person also wrote: 'Within a year I am ashamed of both my undergraduate college (Yale) and my graduate university (Emory Law, '77).
 
'I am a liberal supporter of Clinton and Sanders (the former by a shade) and I want to shout at the thin-skinned crybabies on these campuses who are so obsessed with 'safe spaces' and so dismissive of free speech values: "GROW THE F*** UP !"
As we summed up recently, no matter where you go in life, someone will be there to offend you. Maybe it’s a joke you overheard on vacation, a spat at the office, or a difference of opinion with someone in line at the grocery store. Inevitably, someone will offend you and your values. If you cannot handle that without losing control of your emotions and reverting back to your “safe space” away from the harmful words of others, then you’re best to just stay put at home.



"We're pain"? It's a bit weird for sure. Though I perfectly understand they protest the poitical use of universities, that's not something acepted in USA no?

Which is already a bit strange. Universities should be the first place discussing and fighting over politics.

A British man woke up to a surprise when an alcohol-fuelled night in Essex transformed into an impromptu Spanish mini-break.

Reveller Alex Caviel’s bar crawl in Chelmsford took him further afield than planned last weekend when he unexpectedly woke up on a flight to Barcelona.

The 21-year-old told the Essex Chronicle: “Me and my best friend... were going to pretty much every bar in Chelmsford.

"But at about half three my friend disappeared and I remembered just thinking to myself, ‘it would be nice to fly away somewhere’”....

Seriously!!

The Daily Mail reports, the president of Emory University has spoken to demonstrators who said they were frightened after someone wrote 'Trump 2016' in chalk around campus.

Students at the Atlanta school, which has an enrollment of more than 14,000 claim their 'safe space' was violated when the messages appeared on sidewalks and buildings.
 
Jim Wagner, president of the Atlanta university, wrote Tuesday that the students viewed the messages as intimidation, and they voiced 'genuine concern and pain' as a result.
 
He acted after student government wrote to him and slammed the university's response, prompting a meeting that led to protests.
 
Now administrators want to track down those responsible for the controversial markings.
Be warned the following "controversial markings" may offend...

STUART, Fla. (AP) — Authorities in Florida have arrested a man they say stole a BMW after trying to buy it with a food stamp debit card.

The Martin County Sheriff's Office tells news outlets in a statement that 36-year-old Nicholas Jackson was arrested Friday and charged with grand theft auto.

Deputies say Jackson was turned away at the Pompano Beach auto dealership after trying to buy the $60,000 car using his EBT card and a credit card....

VHS never died — it just went away for a little while.

James Meyers of Concord, North Carolina, learned that lesson the hard way on Tuesday when local police pulled him over with an arrest warrant. Fourteen years ago, Meyers failed to return his VHS copy of Freddy Got Fingered to J&J's video store in nearby Kannapolis. Though the store has since closed, Meyers was accused of "failing to return rental property," a misdemeanor punishable with a fine of up to $200.

The officer had initially pulled Meyers over for a broken taillight. After running his license, the officer pulled him out of the car 25 minutes later.

One of the numerous things I love about my country is that it's mandatory for TV channels to have 50% of their programmation to be French programs. That lets lots of time on the TV for new and intelligent visual creations between two shitty American Tv reality shows.

Another thing they could have kept in their country. Damn fucking invading immigrants.

The only difference is those invading immigrants pay your light bill, not vice versa. I love Canadians that still think Canukistan is still some how more evolved than the USA, its not. It is right in lockstep with the USA, so keep talking that shit you are next Smiley

Maybe after the Scandinavian countries are over run with ugly dark Muslim rapists, we can here in the US and Canada offer refugee status to blond Scandinvaian girls and women?

Sixpack Joe says...

I saw the most impressive display of selfish idiocracy ever today.

Doing a match, our team was defense and got pushed back to the first helicopter pad. I'm on the mic with a couple of friends, and we figure "hey let's go get the chopper" we get there, someone else gets it and IMMEDIATELY WRECKS AND DIES. So we're like "lol wtf" and we just stay nearby waiting for another one as we defend the closest bomb site (forget if it's B or A)

Well, literally EVERY SINGLE OTHER PERSON on the team ran over to the helicopter pad, and everyone STOOD THERE. They all were waiting, and then they started shooting each other. That's right. You can't hurt your own team, but they sure as hell were trying. And then a few of these bastards started C4ing and throwing grenades at each other and ACTUALLY killing each other.

Then, oh yes, it gets worse. The other team came over with a tank, and just ****ing shot at the mob of idiots and got like 5 kills. The worst part is that they just spawned and came right back. Me and my squad were the only ones attempting to play the game apparently anymore. I must admit it WAS funny watching all these morons kill each other, but it would have been absolutely hilarious if I was the tank driver on the other team. That guy probably got so many points.

So by the time these idiots decided to play seriously we actually managed to win somehow. Our team actually held THE last base off until we killed off the opposing team. It was a damn miracle. O_o

By now, most of us have seen or at least heard of the movie "Idiocracy," which centers around two ordinary people being frozen and waking up 500 years in the future, only to realize that instead of evolving as a society, mankind has become substantially dumber as a whole. Of course, we'd like to think that would never happen in a million years, let alone 500. By and large, it does seem extremely unlikely, yet some of the film's notions of where we're to end up are already on the fast track to becoming reality. What follows are ten shining examples of human devolution. ......more

It's been a while since I saw this movie as I didn't enjoy it on my first view. But, I also seem to remember that a lot of it played on racial stereotypes, with black and Latino characters speaking "ghetto." Mike Judge may have went well (still a big fan of Beavis & Butthead, King of the Hill and Office Space), but he hit all the wrong marks in this movie. ....

Well, you don't know what you are talking about.  He hit a large number of white trash stereotypes as well.  And if you didn't speak Ghetto, you were talking gay.  

You talking gay, dude?  That white honky judge don't take kindly to gay talkers.  Sends them to a bit of rehabilitation.

It’s official: ‘Idiocracy’ writer says his satire about a dumber America has become a reality

Arturo Garcia

24 FEB 2016 AT 18:00 ET   

The co-writer of the cult sci-fi comedy Idiocracy confirmed what many of the film’s fans probably felt about the current political climate, The Hill reported.

“I never expected Idiocracy to become a documentary,” Etan Cohen posted on Twitter on Wednesday. The 2006 film centered around two people who awaken from a cryogenic sleep to learn that the country is awash in anti-intellectualism.

“I thought the worst thing that would come true was everyone wearing Crocs,” Cohen added.


The movie, which Cohen co-wrote with director Mike Judge, garnered critical praise and a cult following despite being under-promoted by 20th Century Fox during its US theatrical release.

“People will email and post stuff on my Twitter that’s like, ‘Hey, you predicted it right!’ So that’s always nice. But it’s not always nice because you want the world to become a better place,” Judge told The Verge in 2014, adding, “Yep, we’re doomed. Might as well make jokes about it.”

Terry Crews, who played President Camacho in the film, reprised the character on his own Twitter account last month, telling fans, “ALL Y’ALL NEED TO STOP TRIPPIN. CHILL THE F OUT, ‘MERICA.”

Watch Crews deliver the State of the Union as Camacho below.

After watching the movie Idiocracy back in 2006 I told all my friends and family I felt like I just watched a documentary of our future and everyone thought I was crazy. Low and behold, not even a decade later, it seems much of it has already come to pass. After seeing music videos like, Nicki Minaj - Anaconda and I just watched another one Jennifer Lopez - Booty ft. Iggy Azalea, I was reminded of a scene within the movie Idiocracy of a movie called 'Ass'. I then did a search to see if I could find a YouTube video of that scene in the movie, but to my surprise I found it in the following article.

Anyone else feel like they're taking crazy pills? Cry

It's been a while since I saw this movie as I didn't enjoy it on my first view. But, I also seem to remember that a lot of it played on racial stereotypes, with black and Latino characters speaking "ghetto." Mike Judge may have went well (still a big fan of Beavis & Butthead, King of the Hill and Office Space), but he hit all the wrong marks in this movie.

Try watching "The Purge: Anarchy". They come right out and tell you the purge is to thin out the poor.

I need to watch that film again as I haven't seen it in years, but as ridiculously stupid as it may have seen at the time it's scary how much of it is relevant today.

Yeah, guess I need to download it again. It´s always seeding pretty well on the torrents obviously. For example Idiocracy (2006) 720p BrRip x264 YIFY. Small file but very good.

By now, most of us have seen or at least heard of the movie "Idiocracy," which centers around two ordinary people being frozen and waking up 500 years in the future, only to realize that instead of evolving as a society, mankind has become substantially dumber as a whole. Of course, we'd like to think that would never happen in a million years, let alone 500. By and large, it does seem extremely unlikely, yet some of the film's notions of where we're to end up are already on the fast track to becoming reality. What follows are ten shining examples of human devolution. ......more
