		<description><![CDATA[Like Lao Tzu says, eh. Keep the people&#039;s bellies full and their eyes from the sight of what they cannot have.

I think you&#039;re right that most of the extremes of the riots were because of the &#039;diffusion of responsibility&#039; and &#039;broken windows theory&#039;, the former a popular and the latter a scientific misnomer for what is better understood by history as &quot;The Mob.&quot; When in Rome the grain runs dry...

Great Britain is a country in which the mass of the population live in as indentured serfs in small stone hovels, with no rights to speak of and only the most limited education.  Barely literate, persecuted if ever they fail to find menial work, pressured by immigrants, but very well fed, they are kept in line by systematic indoctrination through screens installed in every room of their homes. These screens show pictures to the British plebeian of how he/she ought to behave, of whom to revile, and, the great error of the ruling class, of what they should want. The incarnate Aspects of champagne, cigarettes, servants, cars, beauty, booze, depravity and fear before their eyes each night before bed. This is because, we are told, the Public Must Consume. 

But really it&#039;s because these are the pleasures of the powerful, and with pleasure comes the decline of pleasure, and then the greatest pleasure is in having when others don&#039;t, and watching them want it. The Mandarins had ten thousand servants, the Capitalists have TV. That&#039;s why the riots.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I despise Kaley whoeveritis &amp; Sara Gilbert. If you&#039;ve ever watched anything that features these two actresses (I use the term actresses in the weakest sense when it comes to these two) Chuck Lorre has found a formula for keeping rednecks happy, good for him but seriously, he could at least hired people with half an IQ for the amount of money he pays out

Sheldon actor: Unlikable, finds a joke that&#039;s decent &amp; strangles it to death.
Raj actor: Puts his character down to keep in with the hillbillies due to his Indian/English heritage
Howard actor: (The most likeable character imo) Does the mum/wife/girlfriend too often. He does sleazy &amp; predictable to give Penny fuel for her pointless self. Decent guy.
Leonard actor: Has not done much to change his persona since Roseanne. He tries to play the more decent nerd but comes off as a hipster, he&#039;s very smarmy, cannot get that look of &#039;check out the girls on my show I&#039;ve shagged for real&#039; off his face.
Barry Kripke actor: In the show just enough to be likeable. Hasn&#039;t done anything to annoy me, yet.

Everyone else is just Blah]]></description>

I have had that experience all to often. I have coined it &quot;the round eye escape&quot; 

I think he just used that on you. &quot;you would find various version of explanations if you search this topic&quot; 

I am going to try and convince my wife that &quot;Lost&quot; has a deep and unexplained meaning to it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You think you have it bad? 

Just wait until you have a child and suddenly they decide to move in. You go into your kitchen one day and not only is everything soaked in oil (because her idiot father doesn&#039;t know who to cook without vaporizing the oil the house) suddenly everything is in the wrong location and they are using your 900$ set of chef knifes to open a can (because he has the strength of a 5 year old girl)

As if that wasn&#039;t enough, your wife defends these actions with &quot;well they do all the cooking&quot;. Trust me, that thing they just put on the table IS NOT food. Then there is the &quot;cleaning&quot; OMG that has got to be the dumbest thing I have ever experienced. He father (who we will now refer to as the brainless nose or BN for short) has this super-nose (actually i tested it, he is just mental... you can put pine sol under his bed and he won&#039;t know, but if you pull it out and he sees it he will bitch about it the smell for hours)  Anyway, he will never use anything to clean except water. EVENTUALLY I managed to convince him to use soap. 

But wait we haven&#039;t even discussed the @#$@#%@  stupid a$$ ideas they have on raising MY child. Not that my wife would know, because she is far to busy doing what I call &quot;everything but&quot; meaning that she FINDS things to do besides raising her son. Now some may appreciate that they have daycare for their kid. Well not when you come home to find everything torn to shit because BN thinks that its OK to let him run around and rip stuff up. ANd then their is the utter dismissal of anything i ask them to do. &quot;please don&#039;t let him throw things at the tv&quot; IGNORED. Oh once my wife told him to stop and her dad got all pissed and started yelling. I yelled back &quot;you want to shout you will be doing it in the airport&quot;

So how does one get rid of the infestation of chinias-inlawus? I have tried everything, so finally I have written up divorce papers, she has a choice to make, me and the boy (because we will be moving to our new house with her or without her) or she can go with her idiot handmaids.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I live in Korea and lots of people like the show here (just like in China as the writer of this article experienced) including me... I don&#039;t really understand why all of you here hate it so much (don&#039;t think it&#039;s because I&#039;m not fluent in English, I spent six years of my childhood in LA before coming back to Korea). I kind of want to say, &quot;Hey, it&#039;s just a show, lighten up?&quot; but I guess Americans look into it deeper than we do (we just kind of treat it as light-hearted humor since most of the kids don&#039;t undestand half the stuff like the references to American comic culture, etc.)]]></description>
