A few answers: -the girlfriend is a millennial.. 10yrs his junior. -They've been dating 3yrs, only met the family once. -She works part time. Her family cut support, which my brother apparently took over. -Older brother's wife and two kids all got 1st class tickets. -We promised Grandma that we'd all be there for her 100th Birthday. It's a big deal. He's talking about getting married someday; given the circumstances (and history), we'll probably cut financial support as well. The way things are going, it looks like he's forcing our mother to get her a ticket.

I need some advice: My grandmother is turning 100yrs old and wants to see the whole family. My mother surprised us with 1st class tickets over-seas. We just had to pay for hotels/food. My brother couldn't afford it, so the siblings (us) pooled our money to pay his share. He told his girlfriend about the family trip. She discovered that there was a resort nearby with scuba/sailing/gliding etc. Our mother said that my brother would have to pay for her ticket himself. Right now, my brother is stressed out because he can't afford to pay for her $200 passport and make rent. I discussed the problem with him. -I asked if she really needed to go. He refused to go on the trip without her. -I offered to ask everyone to fly 3rd-class. She refused to go unless it was 1st class. -I asked if she could contribute anything at all. Pay for her own passport? She can't afford it. Also, she wants to cut grandma's visit short, so they can spend more time at the resort... How do I make him see reason?

All the leaves fell off my trees. By 2030 no trees, anywhere, will have any leaves in December. Something must be done about this. Send me some carbon credits. I will look into this phenomenon. I think the solution lies with the pine. They seem to be resistant.

Reading this thread made me want to buy a gun. I'm also going to start carrying a rock in my pocket, in case it prevents global warming. No one has ever seriously tried it. This thread reminds me of the argument about buying a DVD vs pirating the movie off the internet. One side seems to think that if you make it more difficult to buy a disc, it will reduce the number of illegal downloads.

Half of the people in the world have below average IQ.

I like the comments asking why the cops didn't just shoot the knife out of Mcdonald's hand as he ran.

If that had happened on campus, the teacher would have gotten fired for invading the kids' safe space.

It's not your money. The paper says "united states dollar". It doesn't say "Chef Jim's dollar."

I don't care what's in it. As long as it's delicious, I would rather not know.

I know someone who goes to Mexico every year for Christmas through New Year (his wife's family is Mexican) and comes back with dozens of meat tamales. He just hands them out at work. He says her family makes hundreds. I didn't know it was illegal.

It's the perfect liberal plan. They flood the country with refugees which allows them to call Republicans racist. When the terrorists start shooting, they can pass laws to ban guns. it's a win-win.

I was surprised at the list of actors/actresses with STD's. Basically every single A-lister under the age of 50 has one. Hollywood is just one big bag of disease. Most of them are unconfirmed, but someone (of course) went through the trouble of starting a patient zero (admitted) diagram and connected practically everyone in hollywood. It's shocking how often celebrities change partners.

It's a general statement. If you don't drink alcohol, then bring a case of root beer. Once, i brought a bucket of chicken.

I didn't watch the fight, but from the memes, I'm guessing the best defense for the arm bar is a kick to the face.

Bring the cheapest alcohol you're willing to take home and finish alone.

Would Burger King exist if there were no Mcdonald's? Yes, it would have a bigger market share.

When girls say they don't get hit on, it just means that they are not getting attention from the guys they want to notice them.

Depends if you're in the mood for a comedy. It's a spoof of a spoof. The writers were trying to pay tribute to the original bond films, and succeeded in creating a parody- of Austin Powers. The first thing everyone mentioned after watching "Spectre" is Dr. Evil. (which was immediately followed by someone mentioning that Austin Powers was a spoof of 007- yes, we ALL know). If you actually stop and think about the plot, It's difficult NOT to make the reference. (FYI- if you cut down the 2.5hr movie to just scenes that advance the plot, you'll have less than 20mins.)

Movies make it look like a person can handle being hit by bats and golf clubs. I hit someone on my back-swing and broke their wrist.

I watched Spectre. It's basically the non-funny version of Austin Powers.

I look forward to the day when I can take a nap on the commute to work. I hate driving. I'll probably be retired by the time it happens.
