Greg.
A: Dateless and Alone
Lame... not "wump wump" kind of lame... just plain stupidly, desolately, boringly, put-you-to-sleep lame.
Gutfeld's jokes are perfect for situations where laughter would impolite.
Now that the presidential race is between a Mormon and a black guy, they seem to have forgotten there previous assertions about that cult.
But, to be fair, what do they have in common? They're both ashes.
Q: What do you call Greg Gutfeld's dad on Father's Day?
A: Well somebody has to figure out who he is first.
A: A dumbazz who should have pulled out early
Although I shouldn't expect him to be aware of it, that headline alone has me peeved off.
Teabaggers
Neo Nazis
The Klan
Racists
homophobes
gun nuts....
His hand falls asleep.
Funny -- I'd have thought that would be an indication he had gotten some; his hand falling asleep from exhaustion . . .
You are still scowling like you did during potty training!
And Honey, quit that slouching! Sit up straight! Your mama issues are showing!
Q. What does a feminist use as a contraceptive?
A. Her personality.
Q What does a feminist use as a contraceptive?
A YOUR "personality"
A woman or a man can be a feminist if they advocate the above. I'm sorry for you or any female in your life if you don't. Your burden, to be sure. Ta.
Define your vague terms please, ma'am.
Oh, you know -- things like voting, getting paid the same wages for the same work . . . that sorta thing.
Boy -- you know the quality of trolls is going down, when they consider "rights" a "vague term" that needs to be "defined" . . .
"getting paid the same wages for the same work" - now the cat is out of the bag - you want communism. In the US Constitution - there is no such enumerated right. But those rights are clearly spelled out in Lenin's Communist manifesto. You should stop responding at this point because I fear we may be seriously stretching the limits of your intellect.
I love it when these trolls self immolate -- especially after they make statements like:
HA!
I see you're talking to yourself again. Seek help.
Did it make you angry when learning that feminists secured the right to vote?
This Clouseau must have gone into a rit of fealous jage.
Sheesh! What is it with these noobs? Ha! ;-)
"...Equal pay for equal work is the concept of labour rights that individuals doing the same work should receive the same remuneration. Among international human rights law, the Article 7 of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights[1] and the Article 15 of African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights[2] ensure the "eqal pay for equal work". In America, for example, the law states that "employers may not pay unequal wages to men and women who perform jobs that require substantially equal skill, effort and responsibility, and that are performed under similar working conditions within the same establishment."[3]
It is most commonly used in a context of sexual discrimination, as equal pay for women. Equal pay does not simply relate to basic salary but also to the full range of benefits, non salary payments, bonuses and allowances that are paid.

So a question of fairness and equality to you Inspector is a communist concept? Who would have thought our founders were Communist. You really should stop vomiting up memorized phrases. It shows you don't understand or know WTF you are talking about and your cuddeling of discrimination is actually making us look good. So you've failed on 2 fronts.
Before minimum wage laws, it was not a "free market negotiation". It was "you are paid what i feel like". There were no safety standards, health benefits, vacations or even compensation for accidents caused form using faulty and dangerous machinery. You became incapable of working then you were kicked out and replaced by some else and if that new employee demanded something as outrageous as enough money to actually eat, then they were kicked out and replaced.
Then you say You're saying that's a good thing for China, correct? Communist China? So in one paragraph you state that Communist State controls all aspects of labor negotiations and in the next you state "China's wage rates are negotiated without state intervention. Which is it?
Not all unions are created equal there are those (by the Government) used to empower a Government (a bad thing) and those (by the People) used to empower the People (a good thing).
You have heard "first they came for the trade Unions..." (a bad thing) AND "Government of the people, by the people, for the people. (a good thing)
It's when the government takes control of the people's unions that it gets ugly. BTW, one of the first things Hitler and Stalin did was go after the trade unions.

You point out how well China is doing, yes it is becoming a more powerful government, but it's people as indeviduals are not prospering, because of the unfare labor practices.
Blame this countires woes on deregulation of the Banks and big corportations, and the greed and corruption of the CEO's of those institutions. Blame them for not wanting to pay a decent living wage and benefits to their employees, so they stripped them of their jobs and sent them to other countries, where they now pay their employees a below standard living wage. Blame giving those rich corporations susidies and not making them pay taxes. Blame their greed on shipping our factories and jobs else where. And stop blaming (the policies) and the people that want see this country and all it's people prosper. Not just the government and the top one percent.
The labor situation in the factories is not as bad as the hype the us media would have you believe, and it is changing rather rapidly for the better.
Very soon it will be a non-issue.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, how are are all the bankers and lawyers here going to eat in the future? You think they might cannibalize the rest of the economy to buy some more time?
You should move there, Pinky.
That is, unless you're turned off by "communist concepts" such as equal pay for equal work . . .
China employers still discriminate on basis of height, looks, health, home, sex and age. There is still a very high turn over. Workers often don't get their pension or severance pay promised them.
Labor companies and employers dictate the terms. If a worker complains about low wages, long hours, unsafe, unsanitary conditions, or too harsh conditions, they can easily be replaced. There are millions of desperate workers waiting in line for the job.
A great percent of the global work force comes from China. ('The Economist' predicts it will be 40% by 2030) Chinese workers get a relatively small piece of the economic pie. At the same time details of labor costs are a carefully guarded secret in China. Analysts estimate that the wages and benefits per worker are about a tenth of what they are in the U.S.
It's not just the Chinese Companies many U.S. companies are violating Chinese labor laws and regulations as well as the code of conduct these big companies signed when they joined the Fair Labor Association. The FLA gets much of the credit for what improvements have been made.
China's rapid growth was driven by it's cheap labor. But China has not had great growth in as far as individual's prosperity. Their individuals lifestyles haven't improved greatly.
In other words the benefits of China's great growth are not shared equally for many of it's people it has been negligible growth.
I have friends that quit their big salary jobs with those big U.S. Corporation, that sent them to China. Because they found the working conditions and the exploitation of the Chinese workers deplorable.
You are either in denial or a total liar.
Rest in contentment with your head stuck in the sand, Clouseau.
Lets say that you and a couple friends are very talented engineers and the three of you just secured VC funding for a ground breaking chip design that will take 3 years to reach fruition. You plan out your design and implementation roadmap and you calculate that you need to hire 2 very good hardware, 2 very good software engineers to be able to demonstrate a working product. The VC's have budgeted 150k salary + 1% equity for each. After many long and tedious interviews etc. you've managed to hire 1 hw and 1 sw at that price, and you have found a tremendously talented and experienced hw engineer that demands 175k. Fortunately, there is a female sw engineer (yes they do exist) that you know to be good that is willing to work for 125k + 1% equity. Should, in your opinion, the state step in and block these deals in the name of "fairness", thereby putting the future of this endeavor into jeopardy?
You already tried above -- and failed.
The real issues with wage equality for women is that women are not being employed or promoted into better paying positions as much as men, even though said women have shown that they have similar if not better credentials than men, and can do the same or better job as them.
Your analogy is more suited for the argument for against payment of equal wages for out of country companies. Your analogy is also arguing for the fact that if people in Nike sweatshops work those hours for very little pay, it's all right as they chose to work for such little pay.
Should you in your opinion the state step in and and block such sweatshops and ban paying workers in other countries working for an American country much lower wages than an American worker of the same nature would receive in the name of "fairness"? Thereby putting the profits of such companies into jeopardy?
Another librul is helpless against my brilliant hypothetical scenarios.
Bring back the fascists who will make sure we all have ice cream on every 4th Thursday between 2:30 pm and 2:35 pm!!!
Long live the pistachio!!!
If it is true that women are being underpaid, then they should quit and start their own company, and kick ass by underbidding their over paid competitors. If the market is mis-pricing an asset, then all it takes is for someone to recognize the fact and exploit it. The fact that this has not happened suggests to me that the premise is false.
"Your analogy is more suited for the argument for against payment of equal wages for out of country companies. Your analogy is also arguing for the fact that if people in Nike sweatshops work those hours for very little pay, it's all right as they chose to work for such little pay."
The wage disparity between china and us is partly misleading (stuff is a lot lot cheaper over there) and partly a function of lots of farmers being screwed by the central planners to abandon their farming (which is a communist controlled mess) and to funnel them into a very capitalistic oriented manufacturing, science, and engineering sector.
The state creates the initial problem, and since many fail to notice, they then mistakenly call on the state to provide the solution.
You god damn idiot. It's not as easy as just "screw this i'm starting my own company!" What you keep repeating is not only encouraging lower wages but also a completely ridiculous idea. People can't just open a company and magically become successful, nor would it solve the systemic wage inequality problem. Libertarians have no solutions to actual problems, ever.
Just because women don't decide to do something as stupid as what you suggest does not deny the problem of wage inequality.
You manage to contradict yourself in one run on sentence. So Communist China is doing great and better than us, but its because government is evil and forcing people into capitalism.
That could be their new slogan!
Obvious troll is obvious.
So, Pinky -- if you believe women should not be paid the same as men for doing the same job, simply because they're women, I'm guessing it's not that big a stretch to say you don't believe certain minorities {i.e., African Americans} should be paid at all . . .
But getting back to the equal pay for equal work nonsense - if the market place is severely underpricing women's labor, then why don't women entrepreneurs form businesses whereby they hire primarily women and just out-compete and drive out of business male owned and male employing competitors who are overpaying for the same work? Why does the state have to have loan subsidies, grants, favorable contract bidding, etc. just to keep such entities afloat?
How about we rehire all of those teachers and government employees to instantly decrease unemployment. Let's do something about the bad debt from the housing crisis and let's spend on useful projects like infrastructure and a green economy. Let's STOP larding the rich with unfair advantages and tax cuts.
It's not rocket science but the fact is that Republicans don't want to fix the economy because they service the rich. So there's no will to do common sense things. All of your double speak deosn't cloud those facts.
Education - the US spends more per capita than any other country except switzerland and norway. The end product of that waste are generation after generation of third world status dummies (us ranks 37th in math and science). That is because all those teachers and administrators are also dummies. That is because the system values brain washing social engineering and not math and science. Education in the US is a total and complete failure. The system is broken and the only reason the US has not collapsed economically is because of the h1b visa.
Bankster fraud - the bankster fraud induced mini collapse in 2008 is a systemic failure whereby the corrupt politicians on the left and right are simply serving the city of london bank that runs the whole central bank scam. This is a government protected monopoly run by the same cabal that has destroyed the US education system (stupid people can't figure out how the banking system works) and would prefer to run the whole show as a powerful socialist welfare state of total economic and social slavery. That and drastic population reduction is their goal.
You beliefs that the goal of Government is Population control and pointless slavery are just sheer paranoia. I wouldn't be surprised if you even believed in the Free Masons and the Illuminati. This is the thing that strikes me as idiotic of the NWOs "plan": what benefit and purpose is there in reducing the worlds population and creating a global slavery?
Population control: google "eugenics quotes" - you will be surprised just how many "leaders" and "academics" are advocating mass genocide.
Google "Nibiru 2012". You'll find out how many people are stupid enough to believe that we would somehow crash with a seemingly invisible planet sized object.
I got a good public education growing up. And there is definitive proof that charter schools and other so called "private" schools take tax dollars and do not produce any better students than public schools. Of course the Kochs and Devos and other rich people of the world are making a play to privatize everything (schools included) and saying that will be make everything better. That's nonesense.
Schools have been de-funded. That's part of the reason that they're not doing as well as they should.
As usual, the biggest socialists are those who want to privitize profit and socialize loss.
And a large part of the problem with the banks is that they weren't regulated enough. That's what happened in the Great Depression as well, and it's happening now for the same damn reason.
Your meme that government can't fix anything is stale and inaccurate. But you're blinded by some cock-eyed ideology. You're full of it, bud.
Also, dude, it's your side that doesn't want science taught in schools, so I don't know what you're getting at there.
Because those sectors of the economy do not produce anything that anyone (and particularly the Chinese) wants.
The sh*t has hit the fan already. Geitner and Clinton were just recently in China groveling. They created a dissident side show circus as cover.
The current system is a total failure.
The only way to reverse things is with a voucher program in which retired scientists and engineers can form schools free of the government run education bureaucracy nightmare. Otherwise, over time the h1b's will stop coming to the US and stay in Asia. Then its game over.
Says the guy who thinks Lenin wrote the Communist Manifesto.
Well, yours definitely was . . .
Last i checked, education was an extremely valuable asset.
Your average US high school diploma is toilet paper.
But you know what, it's funny that you are touting countries where there is a big government involvement in education as paragons of why government should get out of education (when in reality, when it comes to curriculum it doesn't have much involvement, except in red States). Many of those countries have compulsory education (once again government involvement), government funding and grants, public higher education as well as some relative level of standardization as well as diversity. Our problem is not that we don't teach enough math and sciences. Our problem is that we don't teach enough, period.
Ah, the 'ol libertarian "the state must not get involved" schtick.
The rightwingnuts always trot that out in defense of the wealthiest one percent -- but it always evaporates in the cases of women's right to chose, gay marriage, and warrantless wiretaps . . .
How, by requiring them to not do whatever the hell they want? No person is an island on their own and no person can do as they feel and not expect to see consequences for it. You can't just use your employees and pay them less than what their work is worth. You will feel consequences for it. We no longer live in an absolute "might makes right" society. The system is broken and could be far better, but its still far fairer than when we had a "free market".
There are minimum standard to follow as well as costs to living in society. Government does its best to look for a way to fund itself while not shooting itself in the foot. Things like Taxes, permits and regulations are well within the powers of government.
The regulations are there to create an uneven playing field so that, as an example, parasitic companies like Monsanto can take over ownership of the food supply through fraud and corruption, while at the same time delivering food that has toxins to help speed us to our grave.
I have a feeling that most of that "research" will lead me to neo-nazi websites and Alex Jones with none of them explaining absolutely nothing.
So your solution is no regulations to even stop them? What Monsanto does is abuse the system. There is corruption, there is no denying. But the solution is definitively not "get rid of government". Do you really think that Monsanto will magically stop their wholly unethical practices if there was no government to even curb them? The solution is not "less" or "smaller" government like you loons think. It's efficient government.
This is government induced economic predation.
Ohhh, Clouseau's just a generic Paultard "WAKE UP, SHEEPLE!!!!" type. That certainly explains the violent misogyny.
Q: What does Clouseau use as a contraceptive?
A: It's face.
A. Because most of them are deeply closeted homosexuals.
A: They're jealous, due to the fact most of them were hatched, not born . . .
BAD NEWS FOR AMERICA
The rightwingnut standard fallback:
quoting verbatim = "taken out of context"
Is that type still around? I'm afraid that joke is really out-of-date.
Is there anyone here brave enough to take this on?
And even if they could, driving down wages should not be encouraged. You seem to see it as if employers should have the right to cheapen labor instead of paying their employees relative to their work. For someone who acts all paranoid about the "elite", you surely seem to encouraging creating one.
And if you don't like it, and want to do something about it, then get off your lazy ass and get an engineering degree.
You're adorable.
Whoops, no, never mind, you're just an @$$hole.
. . . says the one who said:
"equal pay for equal work is a communist concept"
To deny that there are any kind of discriminatory or social factors in how people employ is completely ignorant and naive. Do you really think that things like Jim Crow or
While the difference in physical strength for men and women is well recorded, do you have nay proof for the difference in intelligence. Proof that states that its an innate factor and not say, discrimination or bias?
Women also weren't allowed to go to college (which initiated the cycle). Does that mean women are naturally less intelligent than men?
Why should i? Why should our economy focus on such a small sector?
Society does not depend on engineers. This ain't Atlas Shrugged. Get it through your thick skull. Society can live perfectly if all the self serving "objectivists" moved to Galt's Gulch. There will be people ready to take their place. On the other hand, those at Galt's Gulch must realize that now they must perform the tasked that the "parasites" had to work hard in.
The only reason that everyone is not living a life of abundance free from want is the less than 1% banksters - the super parasites.
Think about it, every scientific field has produced stunning and near miraculous advances in the last 100 years ... with one notable and significant exception - the so called "science" of economics.
And what are the dominant economic theories being peddled at the institutions of higher learning?
So, let's recap:
According to Pinky
- TSA checks = slavery
- population control = genocide
- wage equality = a communist concept
And it tells us not to whine like a spoiled little brat . . .
government coercion = evil
qed
Unless it's forcing a wand up a woman's vagina, because, y'know, that's what she gets.
Then, for goodness sake, Pinky -- move to Somalia.
- no recognized gov't
- no nationalized healthcare
- no taxes
- no regulations
- no equal pay
It's a libertarian paradise!
The internet: where every man is rich, handsome, and a stud.
And every rightwingnut troll is a military hero, is dating a stripper, and is a genius in the field of economics . . .
Gotta love rightwingnut libertarian thought.
They think a group discriminated against by not being paid the same wages for performing the same work, will just be able to MAGICALLY form their own business and compete equally in the marketplace . . .
There is absolutely no magic involved - other than finding the female engineers and scientists.
Your house would not catch on fire if constructed by fire proof material (cinder blocks and clay shingled roof for example).
Not an intelligent or informed person, are you?
...I actually chuckled a bit at this.
Of course that doesn't mean that it has any place in SERIOUS POLITICAL COMMENTARY, but since when did Fox have any place for THAT?!
