	Grin and ignore it. Yes, it is fitting to briefly mourn the man's testes, but do not allow yourself to slip into a quagmire just because he was howling about Global Industrial Capitalism when he mutilated himself. It could as easily have been Religion, or a Football Match, or Damaging Familial Structures, or Mysterious Delays In The Article Queue.

	Then again, I have an entirely rational and well-documented a priori suspicion of fierce dogs. Devoid of our suspicions, we are but pawns of any would-be authority that might stumble across our paths. These observations aside, I would have you note that the Mystery in question has been offered up only as a hypothetically plausible but entirely immaterial justification that might, for the sake of argument, be promulgated by the observably insane individual in Brazil who was clearly predisposed to self-mutilation.

	I sincerely hope we don't have to suffer through an entire article of this sort of writing.

	Any supposed "article" would be written by a Sober Slave. That comment was written by a rather Drunken Slave.

	You could get a job and then if it didn't work out, you'd be miserable. And you'd have to go to your miserable job for 1/3 - 1/2 of your day, and deal with equally miserable or annoyingly cheerful people during that time, and do annoying/frustrating/boring work during that time, and deal with a scary/boring/annoyingly gung ho boss. As the veteran of a horrible job, let me tell ya, it's no fun. At least without a job your time is your own.

	I think I'm going to cut my fingernails in protest of being laid off.<p> At the very least, I need my juevos for making sperm to sell to lesbians that want to have babies if I can't find any other line of work. Actually, that doesn't sound like a bad idea even if I get a $100,000 a year job too. [Reply]

	Being jobless and living in Canada? Job market for code monkeys in Toronto sucks and I'm running out of things to do. For chrissakes, I went to a TV pilot preview last night! Thank G*d for sites like this one where I can properly waste my time. What does one do?

	I'm a 3rd year Electrical Engineering student, and I got a nice 4 month co-op at BrucePower for January. And I live in Nova Scotia, poorist of the poor. So stop your complaining, least you end up a whiny blue light operator at KMart. Better yet, you could invest in your future, and get some transferable skills/qualifications that will make getting a well paying job in the future easier. -legolas
