Paris Hilton is a modern-day Jane Austen, and Kim Kardashian has the stunning wit of Emily Dickenson.

One said fact that republicans hate to admit: The smartest thing that a rich person ever did was to pick rich parents.

I swear, if I never here the words "this administration" again in the smug tone, i'll be one happy man.

"Quote : "MR is filthy rich for a reason, he is a smart mofo" He is filthy rich for one of many reasons, least of which is he has reasonably high intelligence what I assume from his record. basically smart does not equal filthy rich I wish people would stop using the correlation that there are smart filthy rich people as the cause of their wealth. In most cases it takes more than intelligence to make multi millions of dollars."

Ok I will spell it out for you.

Harvard undergrad + MBA + JD + Founding partner at Bain Capital where the firm is still highly successful today = highly intelligent

Yeah some wealthy people are lucky and not smart, but if you do some research instead of making blind assumptions I think he qualifies as being a smart guy

You want a harvard degree? I can get you a harvard degree, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me...

Hell, I can get you a degree from harvard by 3 o'clock this afternoon... with nail polish. These fucking amateurs...

9/28/2012 1:49:11 PM

and if you did some research you'd realize that the business model of his at Bain Capital was saddling distressed businesses with crippling debts and eliminating labor.

Looking at his financial wealth without calling into question his moral bankruptcy is a pretty simplistic way to assess him as a human.

9/28/2012 1:51:08 PM

dudes dumb

9/28/2012 1:51:59 PM

^^^^

because there's no way being the son of a multi-millionaire, former Governor, Presidential Cabinet Member might have helped in anyway getting into Harvard or could be seen as a 'bonus' when being recruited for a consulting job fresh out of college with no real world experience.

9/28/2012 2:04:47 PM

no, its not a big deal that he said that, all people occasionally say stupid things because they didn't think about. yes, it was a dumb statement and there is no defending it.

9/28/2012 2:18:03 PM

^^ these are the main reasons

[Edited on September 28, 2012 at 3:41 PM. Reason : he got a 3.9GPA english degree at brigham young.. sounds like a Harvard MBA material to me. ]

9/28/2012 3:33:08 PM

It should be no secret by now that Harvard sells out to the Man.

9/28/2012 3:35:01 PM

didn't that wolfpack4life guy who made up an entire family also have a JD? Just having a degree doesn't make you intelligent.

9/28/2012 3:41:45 PM

Having book smarts don't matter in issues of common sense, one of the many reasons most people can't relate to Romney.

9/28/2012 3:55:44 PM

^Your anti-intellectualism will not stand.

9/28/2012 3:58:49 PM

I don't think it's anti-intellectualism to say that knowledge of aerospace engineering might not be that important for a president.

It's less anti-intellectualism than respecting intellectualism in a certain field but not expecting intellectuals to be experts of all fields.

Like I was reading some thread about how Stephen Hawking believes that we shouldn't actively try to contact aliens because he says it's likely that hostility would be inevitable. What the fuck does Stephen Hawking know about alien culture? he's a physicist. Same coult be applied to any quote not about physics by internet hero Neil deGrasse Tyson .

9/28/2012 4:51:57 PM

wha? Blind speculation about aliens is akin to not knowing basic laws of nature?

9/28/2012 4:55:27 PM

^^ wtf was that
Did you just take a "say stupid shit" pill?

9/28/2012 5:00:25 PM

It was rambling and somewhat beside the point perhaps. Long boring day at work.

However, I think Romney would be a terrible president, but his quote about airplane windows means nothing to me. Seriously, what does it have to do with anything? If he was running for president of the FAA or NASA it might concern me.

I mean, it is in a fuckin action movie at least twice a year. Come on now.

I think in reality though it is very similar to Bush and Perry, in that when they never show you any shine, and all you see is a dull image, you start to wonder if there is anything there at all.

9/28/2012 6:48:14 PM

Haha, action movies.

Right.

This page in this thread might be the most worthless discussion ever to grace TSB.

That's really something.

This especially is a gem:

Hahaha. You just made fun of Neil deGrasse Tyson (who is my second favorite astrophysicist) and Stephen Hawking in one post, and the internet immediately went crazy.

Now, if you could just say something to slight Richard Dawkins, we can get this party started.

9/28/2012 7:43:12 PM

^^Have you ever looked at your surroundings? People that actually came from nothing (i.e. the frederick douglass type) are few and far between.

9/28/2012 7:51:28 PM

...and what exactly is the problem here? What's the disconnect with people like you?

Do you advocate a 100% death/inheritance/estate tax?

Does everyone upon birth need to be taken down to square one?

9/28/2012 8:50:03 PM

No but it gets tiring listing to people who came from wealth telling others to find their bootstraps.

9/29/2012 8:23:07 AM

It isnt like he blew a fortune, he actually multiplied it. Invested in more than lottery tickets I suppose. But lets not give the man credit for that.

9/29/2012 9:11:40 AM

Would he be where he is today financially if it wasn't for being born rich? If the answer is yes, he's definitely an admirable being. If the answer is no, then there's nothing to admire.

His dad ran American Motors and was the governor of michigan.

Harvard law here I come!

Natalie Portman went to Harvard. Natalie Portman for President?

9/29/2012 11:47:40 AM

Sure why not.

She can act.

9/29/2012 1:22:29 PM

I don't think she was born here was she?

9/29/2012 3:33:59 PM

Nope, she's a Sabra.

Why oh Why are Nevada Latinos convinced that Mitt has a better plan for the economy?

10/2/2012 7:56:56 PM

i blame joseph smith

10/2/2012 8:11:10 PM

does he believe anything he says? I mean for christ's sake, first his debate was one massive pivot and then he says he was "completely wrong" on the 47% shit he said?

WHY THE FUCK DID IT TAKE YOU NEARLY A GODDAMN MONTH TO FUCKING SAY THAT SHIT

OH I GET IT. YOU THINK YOU DID SO WELL IN THE DEBATE YOU CAN TAKE A HIT ON FINALLY SAYING SOMETHING MEANINGFUL ABOUT YOUR FUCKING PANDERING BULLSHIT

FUCK YOU ROMNEY

10/5/2012 9:54:30 AM

It's obvious that he is doing whatever it takes to better his image. Maybe Obama played the smart card by not calling him out on it, cause lawd this fucker would break out in tears begging for forgiveness.

Prodigal Son. I told you fools to read your scripture.

10/5/2012 10:16:02 AM

lol if you're surprised romney will say whatever to get elected. double lol if you think obama doesnt do the same.

Let me be clear... the penalty for not having insurance is not a tax.
