Question of the Day #2 (Stucky requested)

I was talking to an “intellectual” this morning who was espousing the need to fully disarm the public so that police can better do their job.

Question is, what words like ‘intellectual’ (which used to mean intelligent thinking person, but now means giant moronic douche) have changed from positive to negative words in your lifetime?

Scientific used to mean a system of attaining understanding via hypothesis/theory, replicable documented experiments with controls, conclusions and unbiased professional review. Today we regard the work of Scientist as we do salesmen, politicians, lawyers, experts etc.

Ph.D/tenured professor(especially in the field of economics – used to mean an expert in their field, now just means an establishment mouthpiece used to convince the masses that the urine splattering off their faces is, in fact, rain.

Peace Officer – doesn’t really need much explanation

Equal Opportunity Employer, etc – used to mean they hired on merit only, or so I thought. Now it means diversity quotas and discrimination against qualified non minorities.

Paper Money was a certificate for a certain amount of gold or silver. Now it is just “legal” counterfeit green paper printed by the Jewish Central Banks which is then distributed as No Recourse Loans under the table to “Made” Crooks and traded to government Treasuries for Bonds (which used to be high quality loan risk instruments but are now of two types: 1. worthless paper for Commoners or 2. binding liens on the property of the State and Citizens for Investors). Investors used to be what the word meant but now means only millionaires and billionaires.

A Bank Deposit was originally the property of the Depositor who was paid interest. Deposited money is now the Working Capital (property of the bank) to invest as they see fit with risk falling on the Depositor. The FDIC is is just another Federal Ponzi Scheme.

My divorced buddy has been dating a 28 year old gal. When I asked him how that was going, he smiled and said she mows the lawn. I thought “cool”. Lucky guy.

I was surprised though. He’s such a picky bastard and I still can’t believe he would let her run his tractor. Must be love.

Starfuck, it never meant that. It has always been a misdirection.

Immigration reform is the act of increasing penalties for crossing the border illegally. It evolved from a $5 fine to a month-long ban to a couple of years ban to 10 years ban (a permanent ban for lying to an immigration officer).

We can expect that any future reform will be advertised as another long-awaited legalization but the real guts of the law will be an increased penalty; maybe automatic death. The hoi polloi will cry out at the amnesty but secretly cheer the death penalty.

It don’t take much brains to be a jack off.

Therefore, I submit that intellectual has lost its original meaning. Heck Hefner always posed as an intellectual with his fucking pipe and shit, did he ever have elbow patches on his jammies?

Hookup meant getting the gas company to connect your line … not getting pussy.

I used to wear gay apparel …. it didn’t mean I was a fudge packer.

I had 12 inch black rubbers …. they kept my feet dry.

A cell used be part of my body …. not a phone attached to my ear.

Swipe meant I stole something …. not swooshing my finger across a screen

Tweet was something birds did ….. not something fucking assholes do

Friend was a living breathing human being …. not some virtual cocksucker

Ping was the second most popular name in China.

BB says Christianity does not have it roots in Judaism which is correct. Christ had his most severe criticism for the so called Jews of the day .Even calling the the Sons of Satan.

He called Judaism.. The traditions of the elders or the Commandments of men. Christianity was formed as a direct consequence and opposition to The Jewish lies about God found in Babylonian Talmud Judaism.

A few I looked up;

GUY: Guy literally derives from Guy Fawkes and “a guy” came to refer as a frightful figure.

AWFUL: Originally “worthy of awe” —- e.g., “the awful majesty of God.”

EJACULATE: Originally “to utter suddenly and passionately” Example from Jane Eyre; — “The sleepers were all aroused: ejaculations, terrified murmurs sounded in every room; door after door unclosed; one looked out and another looked out; the gallery filled.”

So, the following sentence; ——-

“A guy name Jim Quinn, when he discovered how awful God is, ejaculated and said ‘Hallelujah”!

— actually means: a scary fucker (Jim Quinn) discovered the greatness of God, and then cried out in ecstasy “Hallelujah”.

Partner – used to mean business associate, (even if used in the context of ‘dance partner’). Now it means significant homosexual other. Or fiance, boyfriend / girlfriend, bestie with benefits, and for some, I suppose, their cat.
