  1. words cant even describe....

    Posted · Edited by JRMMiii

    All I have in this world is my word and my balls.

    If I committed to the TL, I would've had the TL, but as a few others have already noted -- I learned all my lessons from the Hard Knock Academy pretty early in life, which is why I trust people as far as I can throw them.

    I am a proponent of internet vigilantism and the 'outing' of people as long as it's truthful. Though truth is muddled in with perceptions, so there are two sides to every story. Maybe the other guy would have a legit excuse as judged by the court of public opinion? :dunno:

    Regardless, I do trust that when multiple people come to this site and recommend a product or service or have stories about how a company or individual has burned them, that it's probably the truth. Not an absolute, but probably. Therefore, for the sake of the integrity of the site, we need to know the entire story, the players on both sides, and have it settled on our forum. If anything, it'll be a record of history in dealings with the OP or the accused. Maybe the decision will be that both parties were at fault and are too stupid to deal with? They're not malicious, or liars, just dumb and irresponsible -- who knows. But, we need both sides, out in the open, to make that kind of judgment call.

  10. So Mr. Romney, You paid NO taxes for a decade?

    The issue has been cleared up by the man himself.

    Relax, Everyone: Mitt Romney Paid ‘A Lot of Taxes’ Every Year

    http://gawker.com/5931840/relax-everyone-mitt-romney-paid-a-lot-of-taxes-every-year

    Romney is quoted to have said:

    "Let me also say categorically: I have paid taxes every year. A lot of taxes. A lot of taxes,"

    So, the article sums it up

    Anyway, we're good now, right? "Very clear" policy to not raise taxes, of which Romney has paid "a lot."'

  11. Spec racing, anyone? (cheap)

    Or everyone could just buy Hayabusas and go drag racing with me? :dunno:

    $7 every Wednesday. And my bike is 100% stock save for the aftermarket Delkevic exhaust that adds maybe 1hp.

    You can run shinkos, no warmers, and the whole system is setup to handicap the slower vs. faster riders. :D

  15. Bill to ban protests at funerals passes Congress

    I'd be happy to get off the scat porn, but you brought it up. I'm not here to judge what you're in or not. I'm a live and let live kinda guy.

    But, I still don't understand YOUR argument, because YOU'RE personalizing it. I've never claimed it's a slippery slope argument (logical fallacy), it's not. I get it. It still doesn't make it an acceptable law. There's never been an argument from people on here about it being a douche-thing to do when Westboro does things like that -- mostly because people on here have some common sense of morality, ethics, and decency... but we aren't *everyone* and there are some things that keep a tyrannical government in check. It has really doesn't have anything to do with "protecting the innocent", but more to do with the legal right for the common man to protest what they feel are wrongs or injustices, including funerals.

    Additionally, a funeral to YOU is a solemn, private affair. To someone else, it could be a celebration of a life, a time to party. Who are YOU to judge how a funeral should be conducted and what it should and should not be? You also make the presumption that just because someone is or was a federal employee in the military that they are of no sin and don't deserve the be picketed... If some ex-military guy raped your child, and you retaliated by murdering him before the trial, you think that guy deserves to be buried in a solemn private affair? A child rapist, just because he was former military? You wouldn't expect your wife or family to bring attention to your plight? I dont' think you'll be able to say, with an honest straight face, that you'd be ok with protecting the rights of the child rapists' family -- who may or may not be just as bad, ethically, as the rapist for supporting him.

    Yea, that's a hypothetical, but I posted the link earlier that shows exactly why a group of people should have a legal right to picket at a military funeral. That's NOT hypothetical.

    It's all a matter of perspective, and when your only perspective is from YOUR own, that's when we have issues. There are actions that "negatively affect" me everyday, but I'm sure the same can be said of me that affect others' if you'd ask them. Again, highly subjective.

    I still think it's funny some people in this thread want to legislate morality, ethics, and decency. You want that 'scat porn' billboard up on your private property then I always have the option of moving, right? Or, lets get the gov't to step in and ban scat. No negatives can come from banning scat billboards, right? Don't like the way someone smells? Then we can have the gov't mandate the amount of times people shower so as not to offend my olefactory senses. "I'm not making you shower, I'm just asking the gov't to make you shower when you're around ME between the hours of 8AM and 5PM"

    This has much less to do with being an intellectual heavyweight as it does debating the subjectivity of ethics and morals and contrasting them with an equitable compromise within our society that doesn't turn one section of the populace into uptight hypocrites.

    It's going to be a very tough road to plow if you want to start adding more subjectivity to the legal system.

    How so? What possible negative social outcomes will result? What freedoms will be infringed if you're not able to protest at a dead soldier's funeral? You can still protest whatever action he was engaged in, can you not? Just not at his funeral. Seems completely fair and reasonable, frankly.

    How could this harm freedom? It's too specific to snowball or "slippery slope", it's just about protesting military funerals.

    The law is from an alien perspective stupid, on that I agree, but it's in response to a wrong so egregious and sickening that I can't imagine that a society would have tolerated it to begin with or have no recourse other than "Well, let them mock the dead people's family".

    If you want a sane solution, protesting in view of families of dead soldiers should exclude you from any police protection, arrests for anyone assaulting you, or civil suits resulting from these actions. Let's see who wants to protest then.

    No, if you protest a soldier's death with disgusting slogans while his family is as their lowest, they should be able to punch you in your smug little manpleaser, and society should applaud such actions.

    You have the right to purposely offend and degrade the fallen to their families, and they should have the right to knock your weird ass out.

    There's no other meaning to what I said, no other arena, no mention of rights and protests. If you show up to a dead soldier's funeral and make an ass of yourself, you deserve a beating.

    Any "civilized society" would understand that.

    Unfortunately, net-tards who haven't seen a working vagina since health class movies do not.

    Good question -- what negative's could possibly happen? How about this?
