Do Monkeys Reject Unequal Pay?

By Darren Smith, Weekend Contributor

capuchin-monkey-in-leavesA vital question of social equality was tested recently before the scientific community. Do monkeys accept the social justice issue of equal pay?

We have uncovered an experiment that shows quite conclusively the answer to this question.

    Dredd – send away. I am partial to chocolate, but it is hot here now and they would melt. Think of something appropriate and healthy. My wife intends that I live another 20 years or so.
    ===============
    Same here.

    Chocolate it is.

  3. Dipshit is a war tactic and sometimes strategy taught by Sun Tzu, and is a term of endearment according to Bernays:

    When going to war, there are a great number of things you should do, and a great number of things you should not do. Sun Tzu touched on these things, so has Che Guevara, Mao Tse Dong, et cetera. However, my high horse is so high that I feel it necessary to make a bit of war commentary. I am a far superior douchebag than all previously listed.

    When you’re a dipshit, you don’t fight on the home turf of your enemy. One would think this is a piece of common sense, however, remember the distinctly important term, “Dipshit.” So save your breath, and don’t risk carpal tunnel: If you are a dipshit, do not blast those who judge you on their public forums. It’s a simple bit of logic, let it sink in: You are a dipshit. To go to the source, to attempt ridicule against the authority on Dipshittery™, is masochism at best. I really understand that you feel you’re an intellectual. Understand though that every single instance of the Dipshit believes similarly, that for each of the preceding 12 symptoms, most people and I can name valid examples, each of which under false impression of intellect.

    I welcome negative comments. I welcome hatemail. I welcome all manner of ridiculousness. However, understand that you are on a blog called “Profile of a Dipshit.” You are dealing with a person who qualifies himself as the utmost authority on Dipshittery. Unless you are flawless in execution, you are nigh guaranteed to give evidence of your blathering stupidity. You are Poland, you are fighting a ground war in Russia.

    (The Greatest Dipshits are Goo People). It is a primal primate love bite of about 4 bits.

  4. Well, I thought we were back to substance. Get all the personal stuff out of your systems. Then we can take another shot @ this important issue.

  6. bk, Saying there is liberal bias is abusive?? Being against PC is abusive?

    Have we all settled down now. Very well. Women accept the first salary offer 8 times more than men. Here’s the biggest step that could be taken by women to erase salary inequity. STOP TAKING THE FIRST OFFER!!!

    The lame contest winner!!!!

    Women are offered sucky salaries 8 times more than men.

    By Uncle Clarence.

  8. bk, On this thread I have been accused of “abusive personally issues” and called a “dipshit.” Any thoughts. What abusive words have I used. Paternalistic? That’s not abusive. Please give me some facts, not feelings, facts.

    Dredd – I am open to Care packages of food if you would like to send them.
    ===================
    You know I care.

    1. Dredd – send away. I am partial to chocolate, but it is hot here now and they would melt. Think of something appropriate and healthy. My wife intends that I live another 20 years or so.

  12. Annie, nick is very good at trolling, i.e. making statements designed to denigrate and get people upset. He manages to word them so that it’s some group delineated by his grouping terminology. He frequently insults many people on this blog, especially when he “welcomes” new people by telling them of the biased/liberal/whatever is his favorite term of the day. His bragging about being non-PC is telling. Most of us long ago gave up using words that are disrespectful and insulting. I used to get upset at Mike for going after nick so strongly. Now I understand.

  13. Have we all settled down now. Very well. Women accept the first salary offer 8 times more than men. Here’s the biggest step that could be taken by women to erase salary inequity. STOP TAKING THE FIRST OFFER!!!

  15. Dredd – I am open to Care packages of food if you would like to send them.

  16. That was union socialism, not the meritocracy where the vast majority of people live and work. That is part of your problem understanding this fundamental concept.

  17. Dredd, perhaps your comments are above their understanding. I get you.

  18. Elaine – that is not what I asked and you know it. I asked if all teachers should be paid the same.

  19. Dredd – <blockquote. Dredd
    Chimpology is a valid science … Could you back this up?

    Dredd – you have periods during the day when you seem to get harder to understand. Your posts seem to become more cryptic. You seem to make connections that only you seem to understand.
    ======================
    I have noticed that about you.

    It could be your diet.
