Taking your ball and going home...

I just ate a tube of Ritz crackers.

Breakfast of champions. They're great with cream cheese. Like the Pringles version of bagles.

Why? It's clear from the thread title that it's a political topic. No need for the uninterested/easily-offended to wander into it if they are uninterested or easily offended. And it was staying clean and relatively cool from what I saw, so it's not like it would be an issue for potential advertisers. I didn't see anything unprofessional there that would have reflected badly on the magazine. If we're going by *that* standard of decency, why does the OMFGWTF cheesecake thread still exist?

If it was easy, we wouldn't have the term "flounder."

You should eat your computer. All the cool kids are doing it.

You sound jelly. Maybe you can form a mob and take it away or... tax him for it.

Naaa. I probably made the ball, packaged it and solid it for 200% margin. I may be a liberal but I'm adept at fleecing the world.

Now everybody needs a ball or no one gets one, imagine the emotional damage done to anyone who can't have a ball.

But if everyone is allotted a ball, will that not just drive the prices of ball related accessories up? I'm pretty sure I had to EARN my ball the hard way.

If the rich people have the most balls, they will "trickle down".

Everyone should get a ball, or it's not fair! If I don't get a ball it may scar me for life! Can I please have a ball?

I want nothing to do with trickle down balls.

In reply to bravenrace:

I don't know, how much do you feel you're entitled to a ball, even though you've done nothing to earn it?

I think the government should require a minimum balls that everyone can have for being there, whether or not they play.

My balls don't work. They're defective. I demand new ones for free.

They were a birthright! By divine provenance then. I bandy them about as I see fit.

I hate it when that happens... I stopped buying them for that reason. One box: 4 servings...

So the general consensus is that, regardless of actual ability or initiative, being born an American citizen is tantamount for getting free balls. We further seem to have an agreement that the current number of free balls isn't enough, and everyone should get MORE free balls, because that totally will not affect the ball accessory market in any way. However, no one should be forced to EARN these balls, because it's big bad ball makers that are unfairly controlling the market and working to keep the balls out of the hands of the masses and in the hands of the privileged few, in the hopes that eventually, with an excess of balls, they'll only take SOME of their own balls home, and share with the rest because it's the good citizen thing to do? But no matter what, what you're doing right now is MORE than sufficient to be entitled to an increased number of balls, and under no circumstances should you be forced to go out and earn additional balls by increasing ones skillset. FURTHERMORE, if you don't feel like earning your balls the hard way, you should be allowed to go out and steal the balls that other people have earned (preferrably from small children) because it's clearly someone elses fault you are unable to get a ball for yourself, or the ball you have is purely functional, and you should have one that's really pretty too.

Am I reading this all correctly? I wanna make sure my ball stance isn't out of line.

Yep, and I had two servings last night. I ate another one later in the evening. I need more carrots.

The government will purchase all the balls from me. For which I will charge a bit of a premium, purchase a gigantic house and then cram green and environmental initiatives down your throat. For example. No more real milk. Only soy milk. It's better. Vegan food for pregnant ladies and children will be required to cosleep until the age of 12.

That's right up until I outsource all my ball production to China, undercut you by half, and force you to sell your market share to me, and put you on the free ball line with everyone else.

So, theres gonna be a government program to trickle my balls? Finally, the government doing something I like for a change
