Benedict Cumberbatch cast as villain in Star Trek 2 means millions of people are already rooting for the bad guy to win.
I love that my local morning newcast has a dance-off every friday. This is possibly why they won an emmy on 2011.
Slightly annoyed that I am sitting here filling out paperwork to prove that my child still has a disability, my friend who is a parapelgic has to do the same every year. (If only it would go away!) Our social services as a country are gutted every year under the protests of politicians that people ‘scam’ the system, yes, we get SO MANY BENEFITS that it would be worth it to try to fool people. (sarcasm) My rels in the UK can’t believe that if you lose your job in the States, your unemployment is not only 50% of what you made but your are cut off arbitrarily after one year. What if you haven’t found a job? They say. Shit Out Of Luck I say.
What so many politicians fail to realize, if you don’t support people who are unemployed, or poor, or disabled, or mentally ill, the cost doesn’t go away, it merely shifts … to prisons.
