The Tragedy of the Commons

It some fancy term used by hyper-intelligent retards that talks about cows, cheese, enclosure, over grassing, and shit (Like tons of shit, like holy shit cows shit a lot). But the term is an allusion to the relation of the idea that an individual Nation-State will fuck over the world to achieve it's short-term desire like a teen girl who hasn't discovered the wonders of the pill, compared to the idea of Nation-States coming together to achieve long term goals together like some basic assholes that you'ed expect political ass-hats to do.
You know what else is like The Tragedy of the Commons, Deez Nuts!

Chick-a-tragedy

The moment when you realize you can't satiate your desire for chick-fil-a because it's Sunday and they are closed.
Person 1: "I need some chicken minis and sweet tea in my belly asap."
Person 2: "Um.... It's Sunday."
Person 1: "Noooooo, it's a chick-a-tragedy for real!"

The Greatest Tragedy of March 13th

Once again, Michael was in AP Calculus BC. Michael had asked what infinity/infinity was. One could simply answer the question by saying the answer is undefined; however, that is not what occurred. What occurred was an epic battle of banter. Those around listened in silence and horror, pretending to not listen. The largest blow of this epic battle occurred when, Thall who shall not be named, called Michael a "Dirty Liar". That was the last straw in this encounter. Michael quickly responded with "You did not just call me that". They were in an absolute stalemate. The battle ended with positive email interaction. To this day, the two sides remain at peace.
Today is The Greatest Tragedy of March 13th. We all must mourn this great tragedy. Nothing compares to the horror that occurred on this day. Nothing even comes close. Some might bring up the events that occurred in the 1940s; however, they would be mistaken. One must always respect The Greatest Tragedy of March 13th.

a well thought tragedy

In what is becoming a monotonous scene of breakdown anthems, AWTT bring their hearts to the table over and over again. Every-time blowing minds more than the time before. AWTT’s love and appreciation for metal is reflected in their killer riffs and melodic choruses. After that complete brutality takes over. Having been compared to bands such Dead to Fall, As I Lay Dying, I Killed The Prom Queen, and other uprising bands in the metal-core scene, A Well Thought Tragedy is guaranteed to reel you in like a blood thirsty barracuda. Unlike a lot of metal-core bands out today, these fellers break the mold introducing head bopping riffs that even the inexperienced of this style can appreciate. AWTT brings elements of every style from old/new school hardcore, big hair/groove metal, to just plain out brutal...with a hint of punk rock here and there. Be prepared for a new sound in this "every band sounds the same" era. Seriously, you won't be disappointed.

tragedy of the commons

Literally, this means what happens when something shared by all gets abused.
I.E. everyone lets their dogs poo all over Central Park becuase they can all use it and none of em own it or have to take care of it.
