Call to all GC People out there. I have been collecting for some time now and I bring you gift's for your next fight against insanity:

We shouldn't smoke them because they are bad for you, increasingly expensive and have no real positive benefits. That's why.

The world population was 2 billion in 1926. It is over 8 billion now a hundred years later. People who believe that humans are in any risk of extinction are mentally challenged. People may have less kids but most kids actually survive childhood now. It more than evens out.

Women have always worked. Including dangerous jobs. Whoever tells you otherwise is an uneducated moron.

The historic moment of how The Beatles were formed. It all began in 1957. Sixteen-year-old John Lennon had a skiffle band called The Quarrymen. In 1957, at a parish fair at St. Peter’s Church in Woolton (Liverpool), The Quarrymen were playing. They performed the song “Come Go With Me” by The Del-Vikings. John didn’t know the lyrics well, so he improvised parts by making up words on the spot. In the audience was 15-year-old Paul McCartney, who had gone with a mutual friend (Ivan Vaughan). Paul was impressed by John’s charisma despite his slip-up. After the performance, Paul approached John in the church hall. They asked John for his guitar; Paul tuned it correctly (John had it out of tune), played it upside down because he was left-handed, and performed Eddie Cochran’s “Twenty Flight Rock” perfectly, lyrics and all. John was so impressed that, shortly afterward, he invited Paul to join the band. In 1958, George Harrison, Paul’s friend and only 14 years old, joined the band. Although John initially saw him as “the kid,” George proved his talent and stayed on. The band went through several name changes (The Blackjacks, Johnny and the Moondogs, etc.) until, in 1960, they adopted the name The Beatles, inspired by Buddy Holly & The Crickets and playing on the word “beat.” In August 1960, with Stuart Sutcliffe on bass and Pete Best on drums, they traveled to Hamburg, Germany. They played for months in clubs in the red-light district, sometimes for 8 hours a night. It was an extremely tough but crucial period: they matured as musicians, learned to perform live, and forged their chemistry. There they also met Astrid Kirchherr, who gave them their famous “mop-top” hairstyles. Back in Liverpool, they began playing regularly at the Cavern Club. On November 9, 1961, Brian Epstein, a young record salesman, saw them and was captivated. He became their manager and opened the doors to record labels for them. In 1962, producer George Martin signed them to EMI. He asked to replace the drummer, and in August, Ringo Starr joined the band. On September 4, 1962, they recorded their first single: “Love Me Do,” which was released in October and reached number 17 on the British charts. Shortly after, “Please Please Me” was released, and Beatlemania exploded. From being 4 ordinary boys who played at church parties, smoke-filled basements, and bars in Hamburg, to becoming the biggest musical phenomenon of the 20th century.

Without a doubt.

These people really do think that every women in the past was a happy homemaker. That poor women never worked or that women who stayed home never were abused or turned abusive themselves. What planet do they live on?

"Is consent really justified here?" Someone really typed that out. Yes consent is always justified. Weird how you don't think so.

@almu1968 That's disgusting. I am simply thinking of situations where a parent is dead or severely abusive. Even then it should be done to protect the child, not line others pockets.

@NAllison89 Depends on where the child is from. In some African states they raped young women and sold the babies as orphans or they stole babies from families to sell them to rich westerners.

How is adoption human trafficking? If they have no parents where are they supposed to go?

By the way I put down Michael Jackson a lot lately but I do think he was talented and influential. I just like making fun of his fans, especially these who have a go at the Beatles. They are easy to bother, some were not even alive when he was.

Love them. They were such a tortured family but so talented. Nice looking too.

Why must be boys fans argue like this?

@Quote31490249 I am not arguing anymore over this. Their impact on music will continue to be beyond anything he could ever accomplish had he lived twice as long. A bunch of dancing to songs that were only good because of others who worked with him did not equal the Beatles.

@Quote31490249 Their impact on music was still bigger than his and it always will be. He is not greater than them. And he did not have half the influence people pretend he had. He had a bunch of popular dance moves, he did not influence actual change in music the way they did.

They are not only popular in the UK and USA. They have popularity in Japan, Mexico and parts of South America and Europe. And their legacy is inspiring nearly every fucking band that came after them.

They were called geniuses. Most people their age either then or now are not accomplishing all of this.

Most of my coworkers are black and I can tell them apart. White people are kind of the odd ones out in my company.

Terrible fucking parenting. Parents should want to spend time with their kids while they can.

Let me tell you about this little invention called the telephone...

There are no cultural shifts that created them. Men have struggled with mental health for years but rarely seek out help. Fatherlessness has always existed. We just talk about things more now. This does not have to be a bad thing.
