In Bangladesh, men desperate for work perform one of the world’s most dangerous jobs. They demolish huge ships in grueling conditions, braving disease, pollution, and the threat of being crushed or stabbed by steel sliced from the hulls.

This is the part of India where Double Diamonds are made. You know those filtered cigars that cost $1.80 a pack in a state where cigarettes cost on average $9.96 a pack? Yeah, stay the fuck away from Double Diamonds man. If you’re broke and need to resort to a filtered cigar, I feel so fucking bad for you man. Seriously, I would pray for ya’ll if I was religious. But, if you fall into the “Pat would pray for us if he knew how” category, at least smoke Cheyenne’s. Sure they cost a whole whopping 25 cents more, but at least they come from Virginia. Smoke American garbage, just ask yourself, should you really be smoking something that comes from the place where that video that I didn’t watch was shot? Of course you don’t. Don’t smoke Double Diamonds, they make you smell like ass too. Do not, for any reason whatsoever, buy Double Diamonds. They’re killing us.

Bangladesh isn’t a part of India. Bangladesh is a sovereign country.
Bangladesh; officially the People’s Republic of Bangladesh, is a country located on the fertile Bengal delta in South Asia. It is bordered by India to its west, north and east, by Burma to its south-east and by the Bay of Bengal to its south.

Also, from the brief research I did, the tobacco from double diamonds comes from Latin America. But I didn’t really look to hard so maybe they’re made in Bangladesh from Latin American Tobacco.

I just watched the video. There’s so much fucked up shit going on in the world still. I am so glad I was born in a country where a majority of the really fucked up shit has already happened.

I think that’s where we send our ships to be shipbroken too. The actual work may not happen here but I don’t think we are completely innocent in this one. I may be wrong since I have done no research on this.

Oh yeah, Latin America, my apologies, that’s so much better and not third world at all. All the elite millionaires live in Latin America, lovely place, insects bigger than you. My main point was there is absolutely no quality control in Bengladesh.

it is.
i cant be specific, off the dome, but i know ive read about several large ships that went there.
i think thats where the exxon valdez ended up, for example.
i believe most of our warships, though, are dismantled in texas.
awfully paranoid, arent you?

Three posts that coulda been one to boost his post count.
Come on its just classic Pat, no harm in that one. Bangladesh is a country though…so is Sri Lanka…I found that out by losing a dollar to a 711 clerk who had a map in his trunk. Seriously who has a fucking map of Sri Lanka in their trunk. I thought it was part of India but nope its an island off the coast of the Deccan Peninsula. This has been Geography with OCJ, Scruffy is on his way for a Grammar quiz hope yall did the assigned homework.

grammar quiz… okay… hm… uh…
all right, got one.
who can tell me where the missing comma in ocjs post should be?
bonus question: who can appreciate the irony of a grammar quiz being conducted by a guy who never uses capital letters or apostrophes?

Surely you wouldn’t think I would stoop to using irony in a post on a juggalo message board. I abhor it as much as I do sarcasm.
I declared war on commas years ago…They aren’t as bad as apostrophes…all high and mighty lording over us. I wanted to declare war on semi colons; the UN got pissed though because they are endangered.
(I have no idea if I used that correctly)

the semicolon, there? correct usage.
the word, ‘that’, in your prior post? also correct usage.
pissing off the un? that is also correct.
[edit] upon further consideration, even though you didnt exactly answer either of the quiz questions, i think you should get a point anyway, just for accidentally being right three times in a row.

Ill take story of my life for 5000 Alex. Real talk I use at least one semi colon per paper if I can. It almost always gets my professor to circle it and put something like “Kudos for the correct usage” when the only reason I know I really used it correctly was because word’s auto grammar correct didn’t flag it. I mean I know in principal how they work but context is key and autocorrect allows homonyms through (See what I did there) so its not an exact science.

It’s not even like that, I hit send, and after that I realized I still had shit to say. Instead of going and editing it I just make another post.

Here I go, multi-postin’ again…
Semicolons
Do you get confused about the proper way to use a semicolon? Semicolons do not represent a full stop at the end of a sentence, as periods do; rather, they’re like the “yellow light” of punctuation marks: they signal a pause between one sentence and the next. You slow down, then stop at the end of the second sentence.
Rule 1. Use a semicolon in place of a period to separate two sentences where the conjunction has been left out.
Examples:
Call me tomorrow; I will give you my answer then.
They went to the scariest movie they could find; they didn’t invite their youngest sister.Rule 2. It is preferable to use a semicolon before introductory words such as namely, however, therefore, that is, i.e., for example, e.g., or for instance when they introduce a complete sentence. It is also preferable to use a comma after the introductory word.
Examples:
You will want to bring many backpacking items; for example, sleeping bags, pans, and warm clothing will make the trip better.
As we discussed, you will bring two items; i.e., a sleeping bag and a tent are not optional.Rule 3. Use the semicolon to separate units of a series when one or more of the units contain commas.
Example:
This conference has people who have come from Boise, Idaho; Los Angeles, California; and Nashville, Tennessee.

homeograph. or possibly, homophone.
okay, yeah, i saw, i saw…. but you would never use irony or sarcasm, so…
*drip*
oh, also… i tend to think of the semicolon as more of a yield sign, than a yellow light.
but thats just me.

mhmmm sureeeee….We all know what you are doing buddy don’t hide it embrace the hate let it consume you…Its ok you can have the top spot but youll have to fight the true heir… @LTB is the next top poster as soon as he gets to number two I plan on not posting for a month so he can take my throne…well its more of a folding chair but still. For the record I hit the top spot by editing posts and combining responses into line item posts…Just say no to clutter kids…its why I deleted that fresh ass signature @psyral-infection whipped up for me even though I loved it.
My personal hero is @Slumerican502. His posts are always short sweet and never redundant, and oozing with sarcasm. He is my kind of country dag nabbit.

Also there is just no pride in ownership these days. Kids these days don’t take care of their things like they used to. “Oh theres no need to edit my perfectly good post, Ill just make another one.” Actually this is kind of fun…move over bath salts I have a new drug…pretty soon ill be banging chain posts into my dick vein.

Me too, that’s why I like it when people correct me, makes me feel like people actually know what’s up lol.
OCJ, if it makes you that upset, I’ll make an effort to try and consolidate and streamline my posts.
