Some off-topic fun. You may have seen this one before as I have but I still liked enough to post for others.



CLASSIC VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
house
and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool
and
laughs and dances and plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is
warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in
the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible.



MODERN VERSION:
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his
house
and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks he's a fool
and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands
to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others
are cold and starving. CBS, NBC, and ABC show up to provide pictures of
the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable
home
with a table filled with food.

America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a
country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Kermit
the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper and everybody cries when
they
sing "It's Not Easy Being Green."

Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the
news stations film the group singing "We Shall Overcome". Jesse then has
the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake.

Al Gore exclaims in an interview with Peter Jennings that the ant has
gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and calls for an immediate tax
hike
on the ant to make him pay his "fair share."

Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity and Anti-Grasshopper Act,"
retroactive to the beginning of the summer.

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugs
and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is
confiscated by the government.

Hillary gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in a defamation
suit against the ant, and the case is tried before a panel of federal
judges that Bill appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients.
The
ant loses the case. The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up
the
last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just
happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't
maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper
is later found dead in a drug related incident and the house, now
abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the once
peaceful
neighborhood.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Vote Republican.

True dat

 

D@mn liberals anyway.

 

mom, is that you again??? lmao!

 

Good story but untill you understand that both extreamist on both sides demo and repub are dumb then u will truly be educated. neither side is better. there is no one supreme political group. thats like saying there is only one supreme quad and there isnt.

 

Don't take it too serious Superballs5337, it was meant more for entertainment. You are registered as a Democrate correct? Just an "educated" guess.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

sorry, just i feel im one of the very few that agree with both sides. i mean yes i vote democrate but im like 51% dem and 49% repub i agree with both sides. but most of these posts just start fights. i mean i come here to talk about atvs and when the boards get flooded with this stuff its like god not again.

 

One great thing about this forum is that there are literally hundreds of new threads every week. Think of it like having the premium package for your satellite or cable, you have so many choices so if you don't like a particular channel don't watch it. Same here, if you don't like a particular thread don't respond. Every time you respond you are putting the topic back on top of the list so you are in fact helping to promote a thread that you claim has no business here. I never post anything offensive so if you or anyone else doesn't like what I have to say "tough ****", turn the channel. Nuff said.
