o31g1 | easy_Money | 1,325,714,050,000 | Anyone who grew up in the 80's and 90's knows exactly what the phrase 'just say no' is a reference to. We were told drugs like marijuana were a slippery slope that led to living in a box in a dark alley. We had DARE classes, Scruff Mcgruff comercials. Casual users, otherwise law abiding citizens, were made into criminals to the tune of harsh mandatory minimum sentences and zero tolerance policies nation wide. We were given bloated figures, bunk studies. At it's core to the keen observer it was a way to silence the voice of the counter culture generally associated with it.
Are we not seeing countless parallels today with proposed legislature such as SOPA? Commercials on TV telling us that pirating music puts money into terrorists pockets, watching copywrited content on youtube is destroying an industry that is here 'with our best interests in mind'. We've seen honest hard working men and women prosecuted, imprissioned, fined millions of dollars for a handful of songs or TV episodes. Would shutting down websites like Reddit for example, due to infringement, be for the good of 'wholesome' international corperations, or to take away the voice that can and will rise against?
My friends, this is our war and it will be fought in the trenches. We are allies against the axis of those in power, those who cannot afford for us to have full reign over our god given rights and freedoms. Alone we are one voice, but together we are force that will shake the world. | AskReddit | jewish |

o2w64 | tzvibish | 1,325,707,312,000 | I'm finishing my masters degree in computer information systems (not to be confused with Computer Science [that's a real degree]) this semester, and I feel like that amount of knowledge I've learned in four years of undergraduate studies and two years of graduate studies amounts to absolutely nothing important, useful or meaningful as far as my career goes.
I feel like I've been lied to by admissions staff, cheated by professors, and scammed by textbook publishers.
I feel like I've ripped my family off of their time with me for two years, and all I've got to show for it is two very expensive pieces of paper.
I feel like somebody should be held accountable for the lies that institutions of higher education purvey to the naive and optimistic, sucking them dry on the promise of a better life ahead.
I may be a little late to the #occupy party, but this isn't about injustice. It's about honesty in the workplace, honesty in education, and honesty in career paths and expectations.
I never expected a job to magically appear for me, but i did expect to graduate from a specialized graduate program with a skillset that set me above other people in my field. I expected to leave school better equipped to face the challenges my career throws at me.
Instead, I learned how to increase my word count without increasing content. I learned how to find sources for what I wrote instead of writing about my sources. I learned that professors don't care if you know the material; they just want you to know that they are better than you. I learned how to look like I was working hard when I was taking the easy way out every step of the way.
I'm looking back with disgust at my overall higher education experience, and I don't want this to happen to my children (or to anyone, for that matter). I should be proud, and I only feel shame.

o24md | LiquidyCrow | 1,325,654,265,000 | Given that the anti-Communist forces in the US (both the HUAC and the Screen Actors Guild) went to extreme lengths to rid Hollywood of anything with even a remote association with Communism, it seems strange that a comedy trio that shared a same name with the promoter of the hated ideology would get by unscathed. Yes, it seems obvious to us nowadays that a person's last name doesn't dictate what they believe, but like I said, the furor back then led to many unreasonable reactions.

o4b8l | SpecialOpsCynic | 1,325,791,807,000 | As a member of the armed forces, I have lately been bothered by all of this talk in cutting the military budget meaning that those of us in harms way get screwed. Why is it that no one has looked at the situation and acknowledged that the bulk of the budget goes to the things we need the least?
As an example, according to this article, http://www.g2mil.com/tenured.htm, in 2009 we had 919 active duty flag officers in all 4 branches. What do all 919 of these people do, other then rake in fat salaries and wait for an even fatter retirement that will drain the budgets long after they are gone? I recognize the value of leadership, but trust me these guys are not providing it in any way that is cost effective.
Our armed forces are effectively divided in to two categories. Projected power (Navy/Air Force), and Ground forces (Marines/Army). Furthermore I can say this from an informed position, the US Army advanced training centers (Airborne/Air Assault, etc) are the sole providers of USMC training. It logistically makes no sense to see Army and Marine Generals, or Airforce/Navy flag officers working with companies like Boeing or HK where they bid against one another. For a well documented list of the folly's this gives us look up the F35 funding debacle.
So here is my suggestion America. Consolidate. Make your fighting force more cohesive, and save money at the same time. If you agree tell your elected officials that this is the answer the Super Congress could not find. If you disagree tell me why, as I know I do not know everything. | AskReddit | jewish |
o4ayl | King_of_Ticks | 1,325,791,463,000 | I am talking about the kind of adventures that are only awesome once they are over.
In 2005 I was able to take my very first paid vacation. I was working at a company that basically caused the sub-prime mortgage crisis and needed a distraction from ruining people’s lives. My buddy and I choose to go to an island off the coast of California and live off the ocean for a week.
Our destination was Santa Cruz Island. It is part of the Channel Islands national park, but has very primitive accommodations (only convenience was some running water). We loaded our ocean kayaks, tents and meager food supplies (basically only some seasonings to put on our fish) and took a ferry to the island with plans for the ferry to return in one week.
We immediately started fishing and were able to catch one mackerel and two sanddabs. This would be all the fish we would be eating for the next 3 days, we just didn’t know it at the time. Come day three we are desperate and starving and heard about some excellent fishing on the other side of the island. We pack up our fishing gear and start paddling over. Now, this is not a small island either, it is about 100 sq miles (250 square km). So, the journey was considerable in our little kayaks.
We arrived at the fishing grounds and started catching a considerable amount of mackerel. We were about to call it quits when the wind and current picked up and was bringing us out into the shipping lanes at about 5mph. Just to stay in the same spot we needed to paddle at 5mph let alone try to close the ½ mile distance to the shore. By the time we reached the island we were completely exhausted (we have had maybe 500 calories in the last 3 days). After lying on the beach for a good hour trying to recover we realized we would never be able to paddle the journey back to camp against that current. Defeated, we decided to beach out kayaks and walk across the interior of the island to make it to camp. We of course did not bring shoes or a way to transport the fish. By the time we reached camp, the fish were bad, our feet were raw and our stomachs were empty. Oh, and our kayaks were still on the other side of the island.
Day four we trudged back to our kayaks and were blessed with calm seas. We paddled back to camp and caught two more sanddabs on the way. We cooked the little fish and collapsed in our tents. Day five I awake just before dawn and started walking to the beach in a hungry stupor. As I approach the beach I see a pig silhouetted against the morning sun and the ocean. I never believed the cartoons, but I started imagining all the wonderful things that come from pigs, bacon, pork chops, ham, and bacon.
Now a little background. This island used to belong to some farmers in the 50’s or something. The land was sold to the national parks department but the pigs were never dealt with. They became feral and would normally only come out at night.
Back to the story. I looked around and found a rock. This pig was food and the rock was my salvation. Of course in my mind I am thinking “you are terrible at throwing and even if by some miracle you hit the pig, you will do nothing but bruise it.” But despite my reservations I started the stalk. I crept with about 20 feet of the pig and brought my uncoordinated hand back to throw. This rock was filled with the pains of hunger and a touch of psychosis. I held my breath and let that sucker fly…
The rock landed about 10 feet away from the pig in a pile of rocks (being only 20 feet away, that must be one of the worst thrown rocks in existence). The pig heard the commotion and looked at me. I can only imagine that the pig found me as no more of a threat than retarded three legged Chihuahua when it simply went about its business as if nothing had happened. Now I was pissed. I was freaking on top of the food chain and this piece of raw bacon would not even do me the consideration of running away. I picked up another rock. While the last rock was full of hunger and delusion, this one was full of enmity and spite (mixed with a heavy dose of hunger too). I let that rock of hatred soar towards my unholy enemy/lunch. It connected with the base of the pigs neck and breaks it. The pig dies instantly and falls over.
I freeze in shock for at least one minute. When I come to my senses I approached the pig to make sure it is dead. As I get a closer look, I realize that I have made a huge mistake. This animal must be the most disease ridden thing on the planet. It also looks like [this](http://i.imgur.com/EAvbp.jpg). Not only that, but I just killed an animal in a national park and the ranger would be making his rounds shortly. Even though I had barely eaten anything in 5 days, I left the pig to his fate. Turns out not even a month later the national park service brought in some [professional hunters from New Zealand](http://www.nps.gov/chis/parknews/feral-pig-eradication-begins-on-santa-cruz-island.htm) to kill every last pig on the island.
Day 6, my buddy and I took a ferry back to the mainland. We went directly to Chipotle and ate ourselves sick on them fat burritos.
TL;DR Stranded myself on an island, starved half to death, murdered pig with rock

New London is known as the Whaling City, so I thought it was something native to the town. I also have angioedema (an autoimmune disease) and was seeing a specialist while lived there. He was responsible the restoration of that wall.
In September, I was preparing to move to San Diego, CA, and I needed a place to move in to the day I arrived. I ended up renting a condo sight-unseen at place downtown called Allegro Towers. There is a US Bank directly across from me with a mural:

I didn't think anything of it. I took a girl out on a date and we went to an art gallery filled with the work of this guy named Wyland. I see a space on the wall with photos of whale murals this guy has done, and, sure enough, I see the New London mural on there. And then the one I currently live across from. Really blew my mind.
**tl;dr** I lived beside a giant whale mural for a year, moved 3600 miles only to find myself living next to a giant whale mural by the same artist, went to a gallery by the same artist on a date with a new girl. I have never felt more like I am where I am supposed to be. | AskReddit | jewish |
o37ik | rumster | 1,325,721,994,000 | Why don't they display this on their homepage... I kinda think it's odd that Google isn't posting a message/plea to it's visitors to NOT support SOPA and talk to there federal official. They use the homepage areas for tragedies but can't use it for a limitation of our use of the internet freely. I feel google has it feet only a little wet when they should be swimming in the waters of anti-sopa companies. Same goes for Microsoft and other large internet companies. I also find it scary how the news media, mostly TV news media never say a word about the SOPA at all... It just shows how much control media has over basic knowledge and bills...

o5y70 | jmedelman | 1,325,886,797,000 | My wife was having stomach pains while we were on vacation that wouldn't go away. We decided to go to the ER for fear of something terrible. In the waiting room I call the number on the back of my insurance card to get pre-approval. I was told the most we would have to be was the yearly deductible + our 20% portion up to the maximum out of pocket.
We were billed appropriately and the total came to just over $1300.
My question is not if the insurance company did their job correctly, but rather why going to the ER costed almost $5000 pre insurance, and why my portion is so high if I have rather good company sponsored insurance.
Also, I wonder if there is anything I can do/negotiate with the hospital to pay less.... | AskReddit | jewish |

o5mw0 | wolfie1010 | 1,325,871,675,000 | I became a Star Wars fan in the mid 80s so I watched them in the usual 'first trilogy' then 'second trilogy' sequence. I am torn as to whether I should screen the movies in that same sequence for my girlfriend or not and would like to hear from Redditors who have faced the same connundrum. What did you decide to do any why? Were you happy with that choice after the fact? What was the feedback from the person watching with you? | AskReddit | jewish |
o5me4 | abenyishay | 1,325,870,942,000 | Whenever travelling, be it vacation or for a significant portion of the day not spent in a sedentary fashion, my metabolism seems to slow down where I don't even HAVE to poop. There's a similar "condition" where others merely can't produce the bowel movement but feel the need. That's not my situation; I don't even have to.
**Where does the poop go??** Can I consider myself a magician and if so, will I have to get a membership card for such an association? | AskReddit | jewish |
o5i9r | hakoreh1 | 1,325,864,733,000 | So here is my situation. I was one of the early adopters and went out of contract and got a Motorola Xoom 3G for $800. After being promised for a while to be upgraded to 4G and looking for Motorola to take care of its customers, Motorola did nothing and by the time the Xoom got 4G, the Xoom 2 was already in the making and the value dropped. I was able to get $400 for it thank GD this past holiday season. Now I was going to go after the Transformer Prime when it became available but then I started thinking it doesn't have 3G or 4G for that matter but the price is right and it is the only quad core tablet at the moment. But when I did go with carpool twice a week for about an hour each way, it would mean no connectivity unless I tether my 3G Droid Incredible 2 which would mean I could not make or receive phone calls and the speed would be anything less than stellar. Not to mention that if I were to receive a call while downloading something from the Market I would lose it mid download because you can't tether and be on the phone also. I also am worried about resell value. Yes it is better than the iPad but an Android Tablet loses its value fast vs the iPad only because it isn't recognized worldwide as superior. Think of the Evo vs iPhone YouTube video made by that Best Buy employee. I was actually thinking about buying the iPad, yes really. But then thinking I would have to buy all my apps again even if I'm protected on the resale value. I also thought about getting a Samsung Galaxy 4G. Now I think I'm going to stick with waiting for CES and MW in Feb before making a final choice. I was just wondering what your thoughts are on this and maybe any help you can offer - thanks

o7a43 | Zecriss | 1,325,979,868,000 | I say Google (but not Google+ if possible). We don't want to crush any of these sites- we want to put them in a head lock.
Twitter and Facebook would be hard to black out, and they are other social media websites. It would look horrible for Reddit to attack another social media.
Wikipedia is too weak, things might get out of hand and we might crush them.
If we do subdue Google and the others don't back down, then they are fair game after getting warned. | AskReddit | jewish |

o73ap | RoundHeadedTwat | 1,325,969,502,000 | I'll start off with mine.
When I was around 9 years old I was a little pyro. And after looking at a magazine I saw this really cool [Peanut Lighter](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdehJC-q0HM) and I begged my mom to get me one, but of course she wouldn't. Then a few days later I'm in my moms bathroom doing something, and I go to her dresser, Inside I see a little container the looked exactly like a Peanut Lighter! I picked it up and saw a little button on the top, Clicked it, and it started to vibrate. Which was weird because it shouldn't do that. Then I open it up, and some button cell batteries fall out. I didn't know what it was so I just put it down. Then 2 years later I realized what it was, and was horrified.
TL;DR: Found what I thought was a Lighter, turned out to be my mother's Vibrator. | AskReddit | jewish |

o71ve | Weilstein | 1,325,967,202,000 | Mine was that there was built a huge pool on top of the White House. Everyone could swim in the pool, which was gigantic, and Chuck Norris was there. The twist was that the White House in this dream was on top of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, and you could see the Dome of the Rock really well from the pool.

o6yok | AlanRosenthal | 1,325,961,989,000 | I bought my friend a car detailing Groupon in Boston, MA. It included four hours of parking in downtown Boston garage. My friend scheduled an appointment on the company website for Monday, January 2. When we got there, there was a note on the door that said they were closed for the holiday. I called the phone number and the manager/owner answered. He said the place was supposed to be open and would call me back. He never did.
Obviously this was a very frustrating experience. Nowhere on the website/Groupon did it say that on January 2 the place was closed. The Groupon was not inexpensive and I expected a professional business. How should I proceed? | AskReddit | jewish |
