SwampD Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 My complaint? One of the major organizations to head this once great country toward becoming a train wreck: the ACLU. It is just completely mind-numbing that these crackpot leftist fundamentalists would support and defend the "right" of truly sin-sick and twisted individuals to possess and distribute child pornography. Then again, since one of its founders, Roger Baldwin, was a died-in-the-wool Communist, nothing should surprise me coming from that gang of "useful idiots". My complaint is people going back 30 years to find something to complain about. Wasn't that case from the 80'?. But I could see how a group that fights for people's freedoms would piss off some righties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampD Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 So you support child porn? Regardless of when the case was, it's still wrong. Not a single person involved in the ACLU today was involved in that case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleven Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 People using complaint Thursday to promote their crackpot left wing nutjob agendas. Either no politics at all, or respectful discussion only. Whichever way you lean, promoting kiddie porn has to be considered a nutjob agenda. The ACLU (which I have some problems with) was promoting kiddie porn? I'm a left-winger? Both are incorrect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 That's not answering the question. It may not be. But why are you carping about something that's 30 years old? Especially when it's the same organization that defends your right to give Eklund the finger when he's begging for food at a freeway exit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 That's not answering the question. I'm not answering because it's a stupid question and you already know the answer. It's as stupid a question as me asking you if you hate freedom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Cell phones. The greatest pain in the ass invention of all time. Especially when it comes time to pick out a phone. So my parents rarely use their cell phones so they quit Verizon and we're adding them on our ATT plan for 10 bucks (obvious reasons they need one). But now I'm put in charge of getting them some "free or free after rebate" phones that: 1) Have big buttons 2) Could be used by someone who can dial and send, that's it. 3) don't dial accidentally 4) you get the idea I go to the mall store, guy tells me this phone and that phone and this one are all free. Nice phones. I go to the ATT store. Guy tells me nope, not free, not free, not free. $50 and you need to activate a data plan $20/mth. Really? Like my parents text? They can barely read the screen. So now I'm on ATT online looking at flip phone this, upgrade that, sucking all my day, and soul, away. Isn't this the definition of "jitterbug?"

shrader Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I had a nice bout with food poisoning on sunday/monday. Since three of us got it, I pretty much know exactly where it came from. It's a good restaurant/bar that I like (liked) a lot, but it's going to be tough to ever go back to that place. And related to my post in the olympic hockey thread, national pride is great, but don't go spouting off beliefs that are complete and total BS. It just makes you look like a fool.

R_Dudley Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 People who use apostrophe's incorrectly. My dad used to put apostrophes and quotes on all his label's in both of the garage's. I always thought that it was a bad use of our Marks-A-Lot marker's. See this quote by Duds for an example of what reminded me of this (and see my tongue-in-cheek apostrophes above...): Dudley! Just messin' Duds! People that take on the looks and personality of the dogs they own. Remember it's pet the sweaty things, not sweat the petty things. Just messin back.

shrader Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Oh yeah. How could I forget this one? It's just for you, BuffalOhio. I had a hockey game last night and it was one of those classic horribly officiated games. They give us two refs, but one looked to be a teenager and that always goes to hell. At one point I saw the most baffling call I have ever seen in all of my years (so many years, I know ;) ). My teammate actually got called for tripping while he was shooting the puck. It was kind of a lunging shot where he fell over and I guess the other player wound up on top of him. Mind numblingly bad. I will never understand how a player on the other team can intentionally shoot the puck into our bench at a guy who was probably concussed with blood all over his face (from hitting his head on the ice), yet we're the one's getting the penalties. That's an all time low. Next time we play these guys, I will go out of my way to go after that guy and I don't care what happens. Oh, and that possibly concussed teammate? When he was down on the ice right next to our bench, the ref actually said this exact quote: "Come on guys, help him off the ice. (insert rink name here) has tight time constraints." Scary. The kid was clearly woozy and out of it, yet the league could care less the second he's off the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Wings Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I have a 7hp, 2-stage, 24" snow blower and it can't go through the stuff we've been getting all week. I had to shovel my driveway (which isn't small) three times in the span of 24 hours. But hey, at least I'm saving the environment by not burning the fuel, right?

FogBat Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 I hope this snow storm turns out to be everything it's hyped up to be just so that all the whiners will lose their minds. Well, thanks to that snowstorm, I'm stuck in Gibson, PA at the Flying J truckstop and I won't be able to make on time delivery in the morning up around Syracuse due to hours of service. Mind you, I was passing everyone at 45 mph on I-81 (speed limit got reduced to that exclusively for the storm). For some reason, I just have this uncanny ability to be able to handle the snowy roads no matter where I go (but I try not to take it for granted). However, I'm going to have to check 511 online for both PA and NY before I attempt to leave in the morning. If 81 is closed, I'm not going anywhere until it's opened back up. It could be worse: I-80 between Laramie and Rawlins, WY in the middle of winter. If anyone on this forum has ever been out there this time of year, you know how bad it gets.
