Another one from the teabagger protests that I loved was this:
One might be inclined to think these are just a few bad apples of the bunch, but then again, none of the Republican politicians involved with the events spoke a word of criticism over any of these signs...

National Socialist Healthcare in Germany recognised the damage smoking tobacco causes before other countries did. They swept that under the rug while they were busy burning 17 century German literature and instating communism, after the war.

Wow! There's a thread for everything here. I'm really tired because I slept bad and then woke up over 2 hours before my alarm this morning. Plus today is extremely boring and I'd be liable to fall asleep right now if I didn't have a headache. At least I can can get the web on my phone.

Anyone else notice the upside-down sign on the left? Also, is it just me or is the large American flag on the right inverted?

So I started doing this volunteership back in September, which involved building a website for some community center / charity in Charlottesville (along with a friend of mine). It was nice to have something to work on back when my internship was only one day a week. Since my internship hours got bumped up, though, the volunteership's just been a giant pain in the ass. I went from having too much free time to too little, and now the website just feels like a giant school project that's constantly hanging over my head and that I have almost no motivation to work on. It seems like our progress just gets slower and slower the closer we think we are to finishing the site, and it sucks so much ass... I'm just going to want to go hang myself until this project is finished.

Continuing from the "Things you're looking forward to" Thread
She said yes. She didn't sound hugely enthusiastic, but she's very quiet so I don't really know how to read that. Also, I think I kind of startled her. There's no natural point in our conversation for me to ask her out and my time was limited so I just sort of blurted it out. I'm really, really bad at that sort of thing. But she did say yes.
The reason why I'm whining and bitching about this is that now I actually feel worse than before. I feel like I've landed an audition (or worse, a job interview), but I'm worried the band/corporation won't hire me. I expected some relief at least from letting her know I'm interested, but that hasn't come. I'm mostly worried I'm going to fuck up (extremely likely). My plan is to take her to a movie and then get some dinner. I'm unsure about the movie. She said she liked action/comedies; anyone who could recommend anything would earn massive cool points, but currently it's looking like Zombieland. Which isn't generally the sort of movie I'd take a girl to. But beyond the general, there's just a shitload of little shit I'm worried about; should I bring her flowers (if I do it'd be a single rose, but that seems tacky)? should I try to hold her hand at the movie? I don't want to be aggressive but at the same time there has to be some sexual nature to this relationship or I'm just friendzoning myself. I wish she wasn't so hard to read.
On the other hand, I can now employ BMWG's suggestion of treating her like she likes me in the hopes that she'll fall for it. God I hope that works.
But what I'm whining/bitching about is that success has merely created exponentially more stress, instead of less.
EDIT: Sorry for the epic rant
Will post this here, since it seems to make more sense.let us know how it goes

I know how you feel WAIF but try to put the worry out of your mind and just act normally and treat her well. I'd pass on the flowers because that seems like it's coming on a little strong. It sounds like you're thinking way too much about this. Don't think about all the ways you could fail because you will just make it happen. Good luck.

That seems a little over the top to me, but that's just my perspective.
That's a tough one. If she weren't so reserved then I would think that sort of thing might just happen "naturally." Maybe you can break her out of her shell. It would seem weird to attempt that sort of thing if you two haven't talked a lot/gotten to know eachother. I would in general advise against going to a movie for a first date. There's not much chance to talk. Are you two old enough to drink? I would say just go out somewhere for some drinks. That way you could talk and at the same time get some liquid courage. Whatever you do, BE FUNNY; chicks love that shit.

First date dude, I wouldn't do flowers or try and hold her hand. Seriously, just relax. She's impossible to read because she's a girl, and none of us know what they want. Don't worry about pleasing her; if she likes you, then just being with you will be enough for her. And don't be concerned about getting yourself out of the "friend zone" on a first date. For now, it's expected that that's what your relationship will be like. The best thing for you is patience.
