A semester of college and this guy has two houses? gently caress him. I have a Master's and I'll be living in a basement apartment for the rest of my life. I'm 24 and I'm tired, rear end in a top hat. Maybe if the boomers didn't gently caress the whole world up, economically, environmentally and culturally, half those problems wouldn't exist. You're tired and America has all these problems. Wow, what a shame you never had a chance in your five terms in the state senate to do anything about it. Abloo abloo abloo. Sorry, but if I get one more boomer telling me what wrong with our society I will flip.

I read it as "I wasn't working so I went to college" like a lot of people are doing now. It's just that most people his age got everything that I and most of my peers will never have with absolutely no education. Niether of my parents graduated high school and I will never have what they have. This is mostly the case with people their age. :genyrage:

This is the best paragraphquote:I'm tired of people telling me that their party has a corner on virtue and the other party has a corner on corruption. Read the papers; bums are bipartisan. And I'm tired of people telling me we need bipartisanship. I live in Illinois , where the "Illinois Combine" of Democrats has worked to loot the public for years. Not to mention the tax cheats in Obama's cabinet.

Why is this dude hatin' on technology? I'm surprised he didn't bring up cell phones and mp3 players as well!quote:Speaking of poor, I'm tired of hearing people with air-conditioned homes, color TVs and two cars called poor. The majority of Americans didn't have that in 1970, but we didn't know we were "poor." The poverty pimps have to keep changing the definition of poor to keep the dollars flowing.

That would sort of make sense for a self-proclaimed 63 year old. Instead he said: quote:I think it's very cool that Which no 63 year old says outside of a comedy movie trailer right before they say they gotta go keeps it real in the hood and we get a record scratch and awkward silence more lulz from the mouth of a 63 year old quote:the post-racial world quote:And I'm tired of harassment from cool people treating me like a freak when I tell them I never tried marijuana. "Hahaha you wanna play bingo... with us? Get lost freak, I wouldn't even get up off my Tempurpedic for someone that has never puffed the ~WaCkY ToBaCkY~" *cool peer pokes Robert A. Hall with his cane* For every person old enough to have served in Vietnam I've ever talked to, freak is like, far-out, groovy man, not an insult a dope-smoker would use on someone (it'd be more like something they'd take pride in.) Its obviously a 20-something Republican making up a story (shocking I am shocked) to advance their own views, who isn't clever enough to alter their language/grammar to be appropriate for a person of that age... because literally no 63 year old person in history has ever given a gently caress what "cool people" think about them having never tried marijuana Tape Speed fucked around with this message at 13:21 on Mar 28, 2010 |

Someone else posted that same one a few pages back. That rant is so full of hilarious contradictions, it's pretty clear whoever wrote it lacks any ability to think critically. If anything, it's sacks of poo poo like this guy who are the problem of the nation. This guy was a Senator for Christ's sake and this diatribe is 8th grade level essay on why the world isn't perfect. gently caress anybody who thinks like this guy.

Yeesh. I don't do much layout at work but it made me crack up none the less. The idea that "HERE I FOUND THESE LIES PUBLISH THEM UNLESS YOU ARE A COMMIE human being" just cracks me up. crime fighting hog fucked around with this message at 20:26 on Mar 30, 2010 |

crime fighting hog posted:Dear Editorial Staff: It's funny because I remember seeing an op-ed piece in The Columbus Dispatch that was this article albeit in an edited and written in a regular form, though the author claimed that his "lawyer friend" or some such had gone through the bill, found all these things and sent the author an e-mail detailing all of them. I remember being so shocked that someone would cite these things with actual "quotes" as to where they were that I actually downloaded both the House and Senate bills at the time and combed through both on every page that was listed and none of the citations were there. I remember being all  that someone would send such an obvious fabrication that could be easily refuted with 5 minutes of work, but I guess the author was banking on no one actually looking up the source when he sent in his FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD revision. This was back in December though and The Dispatch website only has a 30-day archive for letters and 7 for Op-ed pieces.  Come to think of it, most of the Letters to the Editor in The Dispatch are pretty loving terrible. Maybe we should have a Crazy Editorial thread.

Back before the election, my father sent out the "Obama is a Muslim" chain letter email. I politely responded to him (and the people he'd sent it to) with another email refuting each one of the false points, and had links to Snopes and other sites to back up my views on the subject. I ended the email with "I don't care who you vote for, but please check your facts before sending out blatant lies about people." A few days later, I got this email from my younger brother, whom I've not spoken with in three or four years. quote:"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. GET OFF YOUR rear end AND GET A LIFE. THERE IS MORE TO LIFE THAN A drat COMPUTER. GO OUTSIDE OR SOMETHING. YOU ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING SMARTASS TO SAY. DON'T WORRY ABOUT WHAT MY DAD SENDS ME OR ANY OTHER FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF HIS.IF YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH WHAT HE SENDS YOU TAKE IT UP WITH HIM LEAVE EVERYONE ELSE OUT OF IT. ALL OF HIS EMAIL HAS TO BE BULLSHIT BECAUSE IT SAID IT WAS ON THE NET. GROW UP AND QUIT BEING A DICKHEAD. HOPE YOU CAN FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO PLAY KIDDY GAMES WITH." Later that afternoon, I got this email from my father: quote:"I have a few responses to your reply to the e-mail concerning Muslims. No one has to check facts to post ANYTHING on the net or in news papers or anywhere else. This is America and we have FREEDOM OF SPEECH. I know, I spent 4 years in the military to insure we keep it....... HOW ABOUT YOU???? All in all I have only one thing to say. Kiss My rear end. (also, MrBill sounds like a fag)" After getting over my astonishment that my father would send something like that to his son, I pretty much wrote both of them off and have decided that speaking to them about anything at all would be a waste of time. At least my mother is a sane, balanced, logical individual.

My father was a self-centered abusive alcoholic rear end, and my mother divorced him when I was 9 (as soon as she was sure she could raise us on her own). Even my half-brother and half-sister (from his marriage before my mom) have a similar opinion and refer to him as "the sperm donor" and not "dad". Last I heard, he'd had part of his stomach removed due to complications from chronic alcoholism. When the call finally comes that he's passed away, I don't know if I'm going to care - after all, he never cared about me once he could stop paying child support. Conversely, my mom kicks rear end. http://sa.mrbill.net/momuniform.jpg
