the great social experiment

i understand there is an important election currently taking place in the united states. there is a ton of rhetoric coming from both major parties about which party has a better plan for the country and the both sides are playing fast and loose with the truth so i'm going to tell you what is really going on.

at this moment there are about 7 BILLION PEOPLE currently sucking the life out of the planet. the question facing our political leaders is how to feed, clothe, nourish and entertain the masses. there is a huge surplus of people on the planet at the present time so it's not as if every human is special and will have unlimited resources spent on maintaining their existence. in fact, most are nothing more than cannon fodder capable of repeating the opinions of their political heroes or worse, some dickhead celebrity.

the ruling elite, those who control the purse strings, have been conducting a very interesting and controversial experiment. what is the optimal amount of money to spend on maintaining the cannon fodder and at what point do they say to hell with it and let the masses fend for themselves. the elite have been kicking that can down the road for the past 20 years or so. all the while, the masses have been breeding like rats and demanding that they be fed, clothed, housed and entertained. the managers, scientists and engineers controlling the experiment have concocted all sorts of electronic surveillance techniques to monitor their subjects. governments all over the planet tinker with social programs to find the most economic and productive ways to use their limited resources. the experiment is ongoing. countless different approaches to the problem are taking place all over the globe. the experiments are not self contained. a failed experiment in one location can wreak havoc on other seemingly independent experiments. the wall street collapse pretty much destroyed several other experiments and eurozone is currently jeopardizing half the planet.

the best part, most of the fucking idiots think there is some omnipotent deity looking after them if they keep in line and pay tribute on sundays.

we are bugs in a jar and pretty soon the elite will tire of caring for their bugs and shake the shit out of the jar. my only hope is that there is another ruling elite somewhere else in the universe, monitoring our masters and that they might shake the shit out of the jar containing our ruling elite.

i love you sons of bitches, cannon fodder or not.

I've been cannon fodder many times over the ages and it's always been the same since mankind evolved and came up with weapons and religions.

You need to be an omnipresent wave always rolling along.

Mr. Shife said...

Yep we are all just rats in a cage. I kept thinking of The Smashing Pumpkins song when I read your post. One day the masses will grow tired of the bull shit and take back the power. Unfortunately the elite keep giving us shiny object to occupy our attention. Good post, BP.

BBC said...

Unfortunately the elite keep giving us shiny object to occupy our attention.

Shiny objects do not get much of my attention.

BBC said...

But the Babbling Cocksuckers Guild and The Insane Chicks Society love shiny objects, so there you go, our downfall.

BBC said...

Before I die I want to see a woman in the white house, I shit you not, and you know why.

BBC said...

Abandon all hope ye who enter here! Have a fucking drink.

BBC said...

Or a hit on a fish.

TheWayfarer said...

Overpopulation & altruism are linked - you cannot have the former without too much of the latter: What do folks do when they have access to cheap/free food, housing, clothing, transportation & medical care?
THEY FUCK!!!
Altruism says it has solved the problem of "the barbarity of nature"...
Like yourself Leo, I remain dubious!

TheWayfarer said...

"The barbarity of nature" ain't shit next to crazy, stupid motherfuckers running nations into suicidal debt to build empires, under the guise of fighting "drugs" or "terrorism".

Gorilla Bananas said...

They ain't breeding like rats in Europe. The current birth rate there is not high enough to replace the population. As for Canada, I thought the weather was too cold for rapid breeding.

billy pilgrim said...

bill - let me guess, so you watch the mess a female prez would make of the country?

mr shife - i think the masses better hurry up, the elite are getting stronger each year.

galt - our whole economy and society is based on growth. we need to find the instruction manual on how to deal with contraction.

gb - we're importing tons of humans from china and india. the folks from india seem to be breeding faster than our chinese. so it goes.

BBC said...

We should have been neutered.

Doc Teri said...

BBC said I would like your blog. BBC was right. Now, though, I am forced to ponder the fact that I am significantly less intelligent and enlightened than you, BBC, and 99% of the other bloggers I've been following and that, therefore, I may be (however unintentionally) part of the problem rather than the solution. In my defense...I'm working on that. At least it's a start.

BBC said...

She could spay and neuter her pets and kids, that would be a start.

BBC said...

Ryan and Tera only made one kid each but I have a long lost daughter in Alaska who's mother came from a family of thirteen kids and I suspect that she pumped out a fair number of them also.

Doc Teri said...

Pets done been spayed/neutered. The kids? At least three of them are sufficiently antisocial that they probably won't breed anyway.

BBC said...

I hope they're not so antisocial that they don't enjoy sex with others as long as they practice birth control.

BBC said...

It's raining, got nothing else to do but sit here and push a fucking refresh button.

BBC said...

But this afternoon I'll go to the new Masturbators Anonymous club and be fucking social.

Doc Teri said...

Ya know, I've been sitting here feeling guilty as I threw my kids under a bus (I'm prone to peer pressure). Actually, I'm glad I produced my four kids, and they're actually great kids who can think for themselves (which is why they are, in some ways, antisocial - they have no patience for the rat race). Perhaps it's not just the number of people on the planet - it's the cognitive quality. I think my own kids will contribute to, rather than detract from, this planet...assuming the planet and/or the species is still around...at least, that's how I've been trying to raise them.

Doc Teri said...

Of course, that's probably what every other breeder is telling themselves to justify adding to the world's population, too...

BBC said...

My wife didn't like it but I had her get on birth control. Mostly for the selfish reason that I didn't want a lot of kids.

I like to think I've contributed some things to society, use to do a lot of volunteer work, but these days I mostly just add more shit to the planet.

I'm sitting here eating a sandwich, fixing to make another turd.

BBC said...

Thinking the most important thing I did for society was limiting the kids I made.

Doc Teri said...

Damn, I like you, Billy!

BBC said...

I have a few good points, when I can fucking find them. :-)

Bob Harrison said...

Gloom, despair, and agony on me...

BBC said...

Watch for us on channel 13.

Leslie said...

I'm curious about the youtube clip. Are you continuing the "motherfucking nine irons" theme, or did you just want the song?

Doc Teri, thanks for the kind words. Nice to meet you, too. Your house sounds amazing.

peppylady (Dora) said...

I don't see why anyone in there right mine would want to over populated the earth...There enough birth-control out there.

I might be old but I never had trouble getting some type of birth control and I didn't bring a life on this earth I didn't do the best for it I could..Not saying I didn't have my short comings...Coffee is on.

billy pilgrim said...

doc teri - welcome to the monkey house. doc teri makes me think of spartacus, doctore.

is it billy pilgrim or billy cook that has caught your fancy?

bill - it's pissing down rain here. makes cleaning up ruby's nuggets are real pleasure.

leslie - nothing to do with nine irons. it was gimme shelter that seemed appropriate and the helicopters seemed better than watching mick strut his stuff.

peppy - churches wanting to increase their market share encourage people to maximize their family size and having lots of kids takes the place of a pension plan in less developed countries.

Doc Teri said...

It was Billy Cook at first...but now I think I like both of you :-)

BBC said...

I guess she likes crazy fucks. :-)

Shaw Kenawe said...

You okay, billy?

We here on the east coast of the USofA felt a tremor a week ago.

Heard you had a big one today.

Hope you're okay.

billy pilgrim said...

shaw - just fine and the ice nine is still in the thermos.

doc - thanks

texlahoma said...

Did it shake you or splash you or anything? Hope everything's alright.

texlahoma said...

Oh, ok, missed your comment, signing in.

BBC said...

We're still being set up for the big shaker that rocks us good, I'm as ready for it as I can get but should stock up on beer.

BBC said...

I was in the bigger shaker in Alaska in 64 and I can assure you that a big one gets your attention.

thimscool said...

Try as they might, the elite haven't yet figured out how to cheat death.

Are their families really safe from the shit they stir up? Or will they reap the whirlwind? Time will tell, but me-thinks that when nukes got shuffled into the deck the elite may have figured out that they better not shake too hard.

In the mean time, the black swan is coming in for a landing.

BBC said...

I've been cheating death for millions of years by being omnipresent and picking up new bodies when I'm cannon fodder or die doing stupid shit, or simply die of old age.

billy pilgrim said...

tex - it takes more than 7.7 to shake us up. we're no euro trash.

thims - i don't think the rich want to shake the jar, they just want to be as efficient as possible in containing the costs. when labor was in short supply they let us unionize now with a labor surplus they're de unionizing. they gave us a safety net now they're taking it back to see how we'll cope.

they like to tinker and make small wagers on how things will turn out.

bill - i'm pretty sure i was a sea turtle based out of costa rica in my last life.

BBC said...

I'll bet you didn't even feel that 7.7, it was off the coast. But the next shift may get your attention, better stock up on fish.

thimscool said...

When people have nothing to lose, they lose their shit.

The elite have pumped up funding for a police state... first it was the war on (some) drugs, and then they kicked it into high gear with the war on terror. They believe they have the tools to quell widespread unrest. They are wrong.

The economic malaise will eventually precipitate a phase change and things will hit a tipping point. The attempt to recast society without a safety net will result in outright riots and rebellion.

When the great depression happened (prior to the safety net) the country was largely agrarian and people could feed themselves. Moreover it was mostly homogenous racially and culturally, and folks would tolerate a beggar and let them eat on the porch since it was the "Christian thing to do".

That won't happen this time around. Most folks have no concept of how to grow or harvest food, and they will be helpless when the just-in-time delivery system fails. There will be riots, which will overwhelm the police state apparatus. Most of the first responders will realize that they need to take care of their own families, and abandon a worthless battle.

The lack of essential public safety and rule of law will destroy economic efficiency. The elite will consequently have far less ability to harness the people, and they will probably respond by taking us to war. Same deal for our adversaries. But that war will be a total catastrophe for everyone, including the elite.

You'd think that they would see this to be the case, and start spending their cash on factories, farms, and fair wages... but instead they're buying private islands and yacht fleets. It's almost like they think it is inevitable anyway, so they may as well get as much as they can before they push it to the brink.

And why would it be inevitable? Environmental disaster? Peak oil? Population overload? Incoming alien invasion fleet? I don't know. But they don't seem to be taking the steps necessary to avoid a very ugly global war.

BBC said...

Good comment Thims. I'm not geared toward growing my own food but can get by with little to eat and figure I can trade things and skills for a little of it.

Or eat the neighbors dogs, the new neighbors have two big dogs.

BBC said...

You all know what I've been saying for years, you won't eat your dog but you'll eat the neighbors.

BBC said...

bill - i'm pretty sure i was a sea turtle based out of costa rica in my last life.

Best turtle soup I ever had.

billy pilgrim said...

thims - you paint a grim picture. almost everything i see points to a bleak future that needs not happen. our planet is awash in money and capable people but we're just no goddamned good at sharing.

when a little shithole country like greece brings the world's commerce to its knees and trillions in monetary stimulus have little effect it's hard to be optimistic. meanwhile the debt keeps growing and compounding with a bunch of civil servants trading bonds, options, derivatives etc all the day long. the heads of investment banks had no idea of what was going with credit swaps so how many two bit corrupt politicians really know whats going on with their debts and investments.

on the other hand i thoroughly enjoyed the world series. muting the tv and listening to chet baker on the new speakers was pure bliss. almost.

bill - you ate my brother!

thimscool said...

What the world needs is Jubilee!

BBC said...

Flaming Cherries Jubilee, damn, they sure were good at the Red Lion.

billy pilgrim said...

excellent idea thims! with all these arsehole politicians trying outchristian each other a good old fashioned christian jubilee would solve a lot of problems. of course commerce would be destroyed but as dylan said, the highway is for gamblers.

BBC said...

Especially being as I didn't pay for them because I'm a fucking bum. My mother paid for them cuz she worked there and got some kind of a cocksuckers discount, or something like dat.

thimscool said...

I think that it was actually in the OT... a Jewbelee, perchance.

Check this out.

BBC said...

I would check it out and read it all if I gave a shit about what effect the one percent could have on a fucking bum.

It's all you in the 50 to 200K range that will be hurting if things don't go your way and you can't keep doing the things you want to do, the things I do are cheap to do.

Billy P, na, it was your sister that I ate.

BBC said...

Doc Teri is pondering on shit and trying to decide if she wants to have anything to do with us.

By accident I discovered who she really is and she has impressive credentials so she may not want to play with us considering her position/station in life.

Needs to protect her status and income you know.

billy pilgrim said...

a turtle never forgets. most of the stuff i do is very cheap too, nothing beats the rush of finding 10 empty beer cans.

Leslie said...

How did you "accidentally" do that, BBC?

Leslie said...

How did you "accidentally" do that, BBC?

BBC said...

If you must know, I got a generated out of office email from her the first time I commented on her blog. I have no idea why, but it included her full name.

So I Googled her and found a work profile on her and I'm impressed and I'm not easily impressed.

Anyway, pretty sure she would be fun to kick around with some, off campus, where she could let her hair down and be herself.

It's a fine fucking Tuesday morning, other than some fucking rain.

BBC said...

Sent Thim's an email this morning asking for a storm report, they're doing just fine and have electricity.

White Person's Guide To Successful Breeding

1. Seek out people who make you feel good and are fun to be around.

2. If you don't personally know any of these, plenty can be found at a neighborhood pub.

3. Soak in the atmosphere along with liberal allotments of your favorite beer, wine or liquor (budget a sizable amount of money for this part of the project).

4. Crack jokes and generate an "life of the party" atmosphere.

5. Remenber the appearance of the female is not particularly important as long as her ovaries work & she's cooperative in the rearing process.

6. When engaged in conversation with same, toss plenty of sugary shit like "I'm studying to become a child phychologist/caretaker" or "my great grandad's loaded & about to kick the bucket, and I'm first in line to collect" into the mix to sweeten the pot: Money may make the world go around, but bullshit is the axle on which it turns.

7. Forget the condom before going any further.

8. Make sure you are still sober enough to accomplish the mission once the opportunity arrives (where I usually fuck up) and, as Bubba sez, "git 'er DUNN"!

BBC said...

my great grandad's loaded & about to kick the bucket, and I'm first in line to collect.

She'll marry the old coot and he'll be shit out of luck.

BBC said...

I see that Sandy is whipping up on Canada some also.

Leslie said...

Googling someone is hardly "by accident".

BBC said...

Leslie, you sound really fucking stupid sometimes. I stated I got an automated email from her office, that may have been by accident. Of course it wasn't any fucking accident that I googled her after I was handed a name.

Clean the fucking spittle off your keyboard.

BBC said...

Never mind, I sound stupid sometimes, she sounds stupid all the time, with good spelling skills.

Leslie said...

You are nosy.

BBC said...

I am that, always curious about the world around me.

BBC said...

Of course the more I see and understand the more jaded I get.

BBC said...

I've waited for hours for someone to take comment 69 and no one has, so fuck it, I will.

And turn in for the night, fucking rain.

billy pilgrim said...

galt - my number one item for successful breeding is a pocket full of cash but i see that as the main ingredient in most things.

bill and leslie - you seem to be getting along a lot better these days. happy fucking halloween.

BBC said...

Pfft, we'll never get along.

There’s women on the internut that are most enjoyable, Leslie isn’t one of them. If it wasn’t raining I’d be outside instead of reading the words of a babbling bitch. Fuck it, I’m going to go muck around in Monkeyville.

BBC said...

She may be lacking here at the moment because she is fluttering her way over to New Jersey to check on her belfry.

Leslie said...

I'm in the French Quarter and it's Halloween.Do the math.

I have no property in New Jersey, that's your little fantasy. Nevertheless, a sad turn of events. People losing their homes doesn't amuse me like it amuses you.

BBC said...

I didn't say you have property in New Jersey, but I know you spend some time there, Thim's said you stay at your brothers place when there, but feel free to correct him if he's wrong.

People losing their homes doesn't amuse me like it amuses you.

I've never said it amuses me, I've lost homes, it's just shit you deal with is all, and life goes on.

BBC said...

The bat has corrected me, she is in her New Orleans belfry. So be it.

BBC said...

But it's halloween, so she may be in costume fluttering around in the French Quarter flirting with dudes that think she may give them a blow job.

I wish them luck with their delusions.

BBC said...

They can do like millions of American men, go home and whack off.

billy pilgrim said...

poor old ruby is having a nervous breakdown in her crate.

the first year we experienced halloween with her she wedged herself behind a sofa and chewed big chunks of fur off her front legs.

BBC said...

I guess that Ruby doesn't think anymore of halloween than I do. I close the driveway gate and Helen turns her light off.

I keep mine on but my place is at the back of my property and there is a lot of shit between it and the street so, oh, never mind.

This block just doesn't fucking care about halloween and I'm turning in now.

Leslie said...

I don't even have a brother, asshole. And how would Thimscool know where I "stay"?

I work in a loft space in a warehouse/artists' building in Hoboken, NJ, which is currently heavily flooded.

I have an apartment in NYC, a tiny cottage in the Catskills, and a house in New Orleans.

There you go. Real info. The same info I've stated numerous times.

BBC said...

Frankly, I don't give a fuck where you live or what you do....

And if I believe (along with many others) that there's areas people shouldn't be living why in the hell should I feel bad for them if they get whipped on?

Life on this rock is dangerous enough without being stupid and living in stupid places.

Leslie said...

You clearly do give a fuck, it's all you talk about, you demented old fool.

BBC said...

Let's put it this way, I may not give a fuck in a way that you would like for me to give a fuck. And if I gave a fuck I sure in the hell wouldn't give it to you.

What are you doing here, aren’t you supposed to be busy helping idiots and bottom feeders?

Hoboken got its ass kicked for the same reason New Orleans gets its ass kicked, because there is no cure for stupid. They don’t HAVE to be there, they just want to be there.

Leslie said...

So no one in the United States should live on a riverbank or in a coastal region? We fucked up, it's over for everyone. Earthquakes, fires, tornados, floods, or just some random asshole who feels like shooting. Might as well have a pretty view.

billy pilgrim said...

leslie - wow, 4 dwellings!

face it bill, you're battling a superior force.

BBC said...

So no one in the United States should live on a riverbank or in a coastal region? We fucked up,

Yes, because you are a bunch of fuck ups and won't pull back some. But start rebuilding because I'll be back to whip up on you some more.

Better get to the gun club meeting....

Leslie said...

You have kids, I don't.
You get government aid, I don't.
I drive a hybrid, you drive a gas-guzzler.
You have no indoor plumbing, I do.
You let your teeth rot out of your head from pure neglect, I have a full set of pearly-white chompers.

Now....who's a fuck up?

My house in New Orleans has suffered no major damage in any hurricane since they started recording storms, but I still carry 3 insurance policies on it. Flood, Hazard, and Wind & Hail. It's unlikely the way I choose to live will ever cost you a dime. So fuck off, mind your business, and get your nosy, bitter face out of mine.

If you were as wise as you claim, you'd have planned better for your end years and perhaps found someone with whom you could maintain a relationship so you wouldn't have to seek validation from strangers on the internet and talk about guns incessantly to feel like a man.

You spew doom and hate as a means to repel, because the rest is just too difficult for you.

BBC said...

I want to see proof that you have flood damage on a home in New Orleans, damn few of you monkeys there do.

Of course I didn't plan on my later years because I didn't plan on being here surrounded by fucking bitches like you.

Yes, after years of helping others I got maybe a thousand bucks worth of government help with my teeth, so just go fuck yourself.

Go paint your fucking belfry's or something.

BBC said...

Once again, YOU WOULDN'T MAKE A FUCKING PIMPLE ON HELEN'S ASS, or any decent woman's ass. I'm so glad you don't live on my block.

She drives a hybrid, I'm so fucking impressed, she'll buy a new one next year that harms the earth more to make while I'm still driving my old piece of shit that she thinks is so damaging.

Like I said, there's no fucking cure for fucking stupid.

BBC said...

The universe is thankful she didn't have any kids, and the brother she doesn't have is thankful he's not the brother she doesn't have.

BBC said...

I know that flood insurance in New Jersey and New Orleans is off the charts and damn few have it so I demand proof she has it. Or she should just shut the fuck up.

BBC said...

How many of you monkeys that are reading these comments have flood insurance?

BBC said...

I don't have flood insurance, but I have three boats.

BBC said...

I have a full set of pearly-white chompers.

Well, I've never been much inclined toward wanting a cocksucker with teeth.

BBC said...

I'm so vain, aren't my teeth so pretty?

BBC said...

Mr. Shife said....

Unfortunately the elite keep giving us shiny object to occupy our attention.

Hey, check out Leslie's teeth.

BBC said...

And don't forget to admire her hybrid.

Leslie said...

Good Lord. Maybe compose your thoughts before you type?

My flood insurance is $300 and change a year, BECAUSE I DON'T LIVE IN A FLOOD ZONE! The French Quarter, The Faubourg Marigny are Flood Zone A. Google it, and educate yourself.

There have been no insurance claims, flood or otherwise, on my home. This information is disclosed when you buy property here so you know how likely it is you'll be able to obtain a policy, because it's not easy, as you might expect. The flood policy was transferred from the previous owner. Once you let them lapse, you're screwed trying t get a new one. I live a block from the river, which is why I keep it, though as I'm sure you don't know, it was Lake Pontchartrain and busted levees that flooded the city after Katrina. But better safe than sorry, innit!

The 3 policies cost me less annually than 2 months of rent cost me in NYC.

You don't know what you're talking about. No big surprise.

Class adjourned.

BBC said...

If the class is adjourned before showing proof of flood insurance shut the fuck up.

BBC said...

She claims she lives in an area that won't flood but she claims she pays 300 bucks a year for flood insurance? That's a dandy way to waste 300 bucks a year but an insurance company damn sure wouldn't complain.

I'd spend the 300 bucks on something else.

It's true, there's no cure for stupid.

BBC said...

If she has flood insurance it’s because New Orleans is participating in the National Flood Insurance Program, a government agency she is taking advantage of, and she’s always ragging on me about getting a little assistance, once.

I think I’ll go buy some insurance I don’t need, my insurance agent is always trying to get me to do that.

BBC said...

The national flood insurance program simply means that we all have to help for their stupidity.

Leslie said...

You truly are a moron. If I email you a photo of my flood insurance policy will you publicly admit you are wrong? Expect my last name and address to be redacted because you are one nosy motherfucker.

I keep the policy because it's a no brainer (like you!). A catastrophic storm surge up the Mississippi could get me. Having a flood policy in place is also an asset when selling one's house.

Leslie said...

Also.....stupid FUCK....whatever you ae reading about the National Flood Insurance program is grossly outdated. My policy is with Gulf Shore. The others are with State Farm.

BBC said...

I don’t believe anything that bitch says…

I’m hoping for a really big quake here, I would find that interesting….

BBC said...

The fucking bitch never even emailed me a bigger target, I'll have to enlarge the one I have.

Mr. Shife said...

Hi ya BP.

BBC said...

A catastrophic storm surge up the Mississippi could get me.

I'm working on that but this shit isn't easy to pull off and I was busy on the east coast fucking with idiots over there.

Leslie said...

Delusional old twat. Drink another beer and call it a night.

BBC said...

How about I drink another beer and call you a twit? All of my posts are wrote when I'm not drinking, and most of my comments here are made when not drinking, and I seldom drink enough to get drunk, but sometimes I do. Twit..

BBC said...

The inbred has a hybrid, are we impressed? She’s a busy girl, president of both of her local chapters of the Babbling Cocksuckers Guild and The Insane Chicks Society (TICS).

I predict that the inbred with a hybrid, will die at 97 shitting in a diaper, I want my death to be more interesting than that.

BBC said...

She'll be thinking, "Ah fuck, this is embarrassing, I'm shitting in a fucking diaper."

Fucking vain women go out go out ugly.

BBC said...

My mother was a vain woman, she went out ugly.

BBC said...

Being as Leslie is so big on insurance I'll assume that she has a nice life insurance policy so the beneficiary can go buy a new hybrid, when she kicks the bucket.

Maybe her insurance agent will send her a thank you card to the hereafter. Or not, I'm pretty sure her fucking insurance agent could fucking care less.

Leslie said...

Could *not* fucking care less.

No life insurance. I do have a termite policy...that one's $115 a year. Let me know if you want details.

And why do you suppose you're so bitter about the way I choose to spend my money? Because you left yourself without options? Or just because you're bitter...

Kelly said...

I agree with ya, dude. I live in the U.S., unfortunately and I have a front row seat in the nut house we call a country. The ruling, uber- wealthy elite control everything we see and hear in the media and with their laws.

The experiments, I'm afraid, will likely go on until all hope is smashed and those who are not fantastically wealthy are turned into slaves or killed.

I think one of those things have happened, in it's own way, already.

Take care, Billy
