That Dakota Fanning is so precocious.
I still can't get over having her play Daria in the live action movie and then not changing her hair color.
What are the root causes of Friday Funnies?
Sadomasochism?

Everyone desrves to make a few penises.
FTFY.
A woman who is gettin it stretched out right will never act as dumb as this chick

That's not true.
Even if the problem was they just didn't have jobs I still wouldn't see how that's going to help us since those who have been appointed to rule over us only know how to destroy jobs; not create them.
Since the fact is pretty much all of the positively identified Jihadis had jobs and chose to leave them to go killing, the base assertion is as absurd as it appears on its face.
Yeah, but BOOOSH once said something that might have been superficially similar, so it's not ridiculous after all!

At least Washington has a job: manufacturing absurdities.
Manufacturing Absurdities with John Criswell.
That makes me sad about The Independents.
THEY BROUGHT IT ON THEMSELVES.
Did those jobs have a LIVING wage?

Is that like a stylish dyke?
If Miss Dotson here approached me and offered to perform an act with a Shetland Pony for $5, what laws, besides cruelty to animals, would be broken?
the law of supply and demand, for one. Surely the market rate is higher than that. Where's Heroic Mulatto when you need him?
ifh, that was a botched quote to go along with Almanian's botched quote from The Enforcer, a Dirty Harry movie.
Botched, eh? A man's got to know his limitations. A woman too, for that matter.
Speling not mye fortay
And if you want to ensure that they never have jobs, put the US Government in charge of their jobs program.

The actual evidence with regard to poverty and terrorism actually goes against the whole jobs theory. Terrorists are much more likely to be from the more affluent elements of these societies.
Osama bin Laden's family was incredibly wealthy.
They have jobs. Build bombs. Kill people. Die. Get 72 virgins... and if that one guy is correct, each virgin has 72 hand maidens. I'm sure flipping burgers for minimum wage sounds much better to a horny young Muslim.
How long do they stay virgins? Can you get a mulligan?
We need to go after the root causes that lead people to join these groups
Is she referring to jihadis, the state department, or the summit on countering violent extremism? Or 'cartoonists'? Because it's not very clear from the drawing.
I think she means Libertarian and Right-Wing 'Domestic Terror' organizations who are opposed to her base ideology in some way shape or form.
It's good to be Queen.
Bah. Everyone knows the real cause of Islamic terrorism is "Anthropogenic Global Warming."
Well, that goes without saying. AGW causes everything bad to happen.
Not too many years ago AGW alarmism practiced to the point of religion probably would've landed it's practitioners in a mental institution. Today it's one of several psychotic obsessions that are sure to win Nobel Prizes. Oh, how the times are a changing!
You jest, but that argument has already been made. You see, droughts caused by man-made climate change caused people to move from rural areas to urban areas. Lacking jobs in the urban centers, young men turned to religious fanaticism. This caused the uprising in Syria, which has spread throughout the Middle East. And it's all caused by our reliance on fossil fuels.
More likely, the absence of capitalism in their nations has led to a lack of "niches" for young men who then go adventuring as they have for most of history (as per the first explosive growth of Islam 1300 years ago.)
The absence of capitalism is a result of their religion's non-conducive nature in regards to capital accumulation. If you can't have rational finance and insurance industries you don't have the solid foundation for freeish markets to exist. To name but two of Islam's economically destructive failings.
But, but, but charging rent for lent money isn't fair!
The cause is autism, which is itself caused by the Global Warming. Get it right.
Wait, I thought that was vaccines! Did the science get settled when I wasn't looking?
Isn't it amazing how "global warming" causes the breaking of century-old record low temps?
Yet it's still been a warmer-than-average winter. And the contiguous US still only takes up 1.5% of the earth's surface.
Your ability to contribute nothing of substance while trying to make yourself appear intelligent is truly amazing.
Could this actually be a brilliant ploy? Kind of like when the police set up a sting and tell all the wanted criminals they've won a prize, then arrest them when they show up to claim it?
When the Jihadists show up for jobs, we nab them. Brilliant!
Could our fearless leader be THAT smart?
You're giving them far, far too much credit. For them to hatch a scheme like that they'd have to rise way up to functioning at the level of imbeciles.
no
Well, I must admit the ole Bokster really captured the essence of Harf. Goofy, dim, quad-cross-eyed..
Why is Reese Witherspoon wearing a pearls and a black straightjacket?
I didn't realize she was into bondage.
I'll be in my bunk...
I did not realize that a young Hillary Rodham had worked for the State Department, and that said State Department was so far ahead of its time in identifying what would be the future cause of so much strife in the world.
Awful. Therefore, perfect.
Happy Friday, Reasonoids! Suki's dead, and I wish you were, too.
They are all Young Hillarys there - they should start a girl band with that name.
Ha! I've got a hardcore conservative college friend who's a deputy director there. He's been trying to stay overseas as much as possible the last few years.
I suppose that's better than better than the ill conceived "Cash for Caliphates" program.
Turn in your used Caliphate for cash to use towards a shiny new Caliphate...
They give shitty mileage and won't start for a woman, so I'm keeping my old Ford Friedman
"We need people to cut off the heads that Americans won't cut off."
OT: Never call the police for anything other than assisted suicide..
Aren't they worried about Job Lock?! I mean really, where is the compassion! The last thing we need is for more people to be stuck working for employers in stable positions for non-fluctuating sallaries! On the humanity!
The cartoon is too nuanced for me to understand.
That is indeed what she said. Truly withering, Bok.
