My neighbor says she can't get too upset about some kooks who want to burn religious books.
She added in no uncertain terms, however, that if someone tried to burn her unemployment check; she'd stab them in the eye with a pencil, remove their genitals with a dull butter-knife (as if there were any other kind), chew their tongue off, and douse them with acid.

She told me when she was done doing that, she'd counsel the book burners that their chosen form protest is more than a little misguided. Protected, but misguided.

Her unemployment check though, is not to be fucked with in any way.

1. Really - the government would replace the lost check
Eye gouging seems a bit extreme.

I do agree with her on the book burning though -- protected, but tacky.

2. Thay's not true unless they've changed. My dad's UEC was stollen and when he called the UE
office they said TS, in a bit nicer terms of course. He never did get it

3. i don't really see anything wrong with her position, she needs her unemployment check to help her
get by in life.

some might be offended by the koran burning but it doesn't take away from their personal lives. unless someone stole their koran and burned it.

it's like the ones who want to ban flag burning but are ok with cutting benefits for soldiers.
