Boob jokes are wasted on women. They are uncomfortable and no fun for us.

Some psychologists claim that men make such jokes because of their discomfort with women's bodies. Strangely, they don't make the same claim for jokes about large noses, big ears, crossed eyes, etc. Boobs and genitalia seem to be in a class of their own.
Mod
Three times I read that as "Boob *jobs* are wasted..." Which is also true--definitely uncomfortable and no fun. Just looking at the poor woman in that gif makes me hurt.

I once saw Dolly Parton interviewed on the Tonight Show (Johnny Carson as host) where she was asked if her bountiful bust line was natural. Her reply was along the lines of 'Yes, and if it wasn't, I'd have it done.'
I've seen boob jobs that look totally ridiculous, but some are attractive, and some are used for reconstructive surgery after an accident or mastectomy, which aids in the victim's recovery. Once or twice, I've heard a woman say their clothing fits better after their boob job. Comfort with one's body (or body image) is wholly subjective. I think boob jobs fall into the "To Each Their Own" category. It's certainly no more ridiculous than a male obsessing about penis size and some of the crazy devices and surgeries available for such real or imagined shortcomings.
Is there a difference between appreciation and obsession? Some men don't really care about boob size and some only care about it.I really like the word boob.
Mod
Fewer restraining orders with appreciation.

A man announced to the family that he needed to buy a few things, and was going to the shopping mall. His small nephew piped up: "Please, uncle, can I come with you?"
They went off together to the mall, but a little while later they got separated. A security guard found the little lad, lost, frightened and blubbing.
"Eh lad, what's up then?"
"I've lost my uncle."
"Oh don't worry, son. We'll soon find him. What's he like?"
"Jack Daniels - 'n' wimmin wi' big tits."

That's only a boob joke in the sense that the uncle might be so described...

The fertility rate fell to 60.2 births per 1,000 women of childbearing age, down 3 percent from 2016, according to the National Center for Health Statistics. It was the largest single-year decline since 2010, when families were still feeling the effects of a weak economy.
Our population support does indeed depend on immigration, yet, quite frankly, it's astounding that scientists can't understand why the most highly educated women in the modern world are having fewer children.

Just curious, do you have an opinion on the subject? :-)
Young millennials are having sex less than any generation before them (by choice). That must drive the free love generation insane. They are also choosing not to have children. Some say selfish, I say mature.

I have cleaned up enough poop and puke to last a lifetime. The most recent case of one of my kids puking in the wrong place was much too recent--he was a teen, for god's sake. Ate WAY too many cookies at Xmas time, and somehow couldn't cope. I think he was 14.
Mod
My father once told me that I was nearly an abortion, but he found out it was illegal because at the time I was 14.
Mod
Yeah, that sounds about right! Though my guys were actually very good teens; it was the preschool years that I really struggled with. At least in HS we could have an intelligent discussion about things.

Is it possible? Could McDonald's actually save the planet?
Let us hope the hamburger franchise is a McDonalds and not some upstart from the Trump family, Trump Burgers.Trump eats McDonalds a lot. It has to do with his fear of being poisoned. I am sure he has ingested massive amounts of teenager phlegm.
The last thing that fat bastard Un needs in his nation of starving people is a fast food joint next to his highly fortified house. He'll be as round as coconut by 2019.

Likely, Trump Burgers would be made by grinding up all the unsold Trump Steaks.
Ground up steaks with ground up cheap clothing for filler.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that April closed with 6.7 million job openings. May ended with just over 6 million people the BLS classifies as unemployed, continuing a trend this year that has seen openings eclipse the labor pool for the first time. At some point that gap will have to close. Economists expect that employers are going to have to start doing more to entice workers, likely through pay raises, training and other incentives.
The obvious answer to the current labor shortage, which appears to be deepening, is to kick out and lock up all the immigrants

The so-called gainful employment regulations put into force by the Obama administration cut off federally guaranteed student loans to colleges if their graduates did not earn enough money to pay them off.
Let's be honest, if your children want to be in debt for the rest of their life with no hope of recovery, they have every right to do so...and Education Secretary Betsy DeVos should certainly assist in the effort.

Strait of Hormuz: the world's most important oil artery
This week, an Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander threatened that Tehran will block oil shipments through the waterway in response to U.S. calls to ban all Iranian oil exports.
...a third of the world’s sea-borne oil pass[es] through...the Strait of Hormuz... Most of the crude exported from Saudi Arabia, Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq passes through it. It is also the route for nearly all the liquefied natural gas (LNG) from lead exporter Qatar.
I've given it some serious thought, and I've come to the conclusion that the conservatively-calculated odds that the other nations of the world would allow Iran to choke off one-third of the worlds oil and gas shipments are exactly equal to the odds on:
-The USSR blockading Berlin (1948 - 1949)
-Saddam Hussein annexing Kuwait (1991)
-Pigs flying (Pretty much anytime)
-The Bible suddenly including a 'Book of Evolution'
-Me waking up and discovering it wasn't a dream -- Michelle Pfeiffer, Nicole Kidman, Charlize Theron and Julia Roberts really are in my bed.
Nice saber-rattling though.
