There is nothing wrong with anything Big Beef City has said unless you think it's shameful to receive government assistance, and it isn't. He's not making light of anyone's bad circumstances, he's saying if you're eligible for help then you should take advantage of it because you deserve to do so. It is entirely possible to be sympathetic/empathetic and tell someone they are being loving ridiculous for not getting benefits they are entitled to because they are worried some ignorant dipshit might look down on them.

Yea unless I'm missing a post where he said 'get the benefits you are entitled to (you loving stupid pig)' everything Beef has said has been right here. gently caress man if someone feels they need to bitch at you for using a government program to have food either ignore them or tell them to gently caress off. Are you really putting 'some hick may get upset' over 'I need food'?

Fried Chicken posted:No, you are absolutely being a horse's rear end here. Actually if your company sold things to the government when it shuts down, it would be booming right now. But seriously, grow the hell up. You honestly had a hard time taking something that you are entitled to, that you paid for, that you needed? There's a lot of reasons why the upper class is dominating the class warfare and one of them is because people on the bottom are afraid to take what belongs to them. Enjoy your food, you deserve it and there's no shame in it.

There's not really any reason not to take advantage of food stamps if you're in a bad situation, but there's also no real justification for being overly hostile and/or calling someone childish when they want to avoid doing something that society irrationally stigmatizes.

http://mediamatters.org/blog/2013/10/02/debunking-stephen-jimenezs-effort-to-de-gay-mat/196229 There's just something particularly insidious and disgusting about dragging Matthew Shepard through the mud over a decade after he was murdered. It's even worse that the man doing the grave stomping is gay himself. Anything for a buck and 15 minutes.

Rush spent the better part of the day telling his supporters to keep digging that hole deeper because at the bottom will be victory! Also a new hiding spot because millions of people will be incredibly pissed at you should the US defaultRush Limbaugh posted:... Pretty funny how he goes on and on about how everyone is just out to embarrass the Republican party when they do a perfectly fine job of embarrassing themselves. BONUS: quote:RUSH: Here's Bill Moyers, and this is from Moyers and Company on PBS on Friday night, and this one is typical. He said stuff like this before, but for some reason I live rent free in these people's heads. Oh! He is just so wrong! You don't even know how wrong he is! Don't worry folks, because I am here to tell you he is wrong! And I, your humble radio host, am the one with all the answers.

As always, Rush is the master of projecting GOP faults onto Democrats. It always leaves the Dems in the "tu, quoque?" position, I'm just glad it's not working as well as it used to.

Layman's terms would be like "I play and research music" because anything else would be kind of useless to even bother saying.

Was listening to Michael Savage on the drive tonight and there was an infomercial for a hotline to call to sign a petition to "fire Boehner" for working with Obama and being a RINO.

I ve always worried that the reason Boehner is going on with this. When barry told him "no" is because he knows he will be eaten alive if the dems didnt fold and defund the ACA. Someone in the party has go do down for this. What weird is that they want to call him a rino and accuses him of working with Obama...isnt it the speaker of the houses job to work the white house? well I assume that would be normal. max4me fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Oct 8, 2013 |

Bit of a derail, but the sales guys at my company use a galaxy s4 for everything. It has a sweet dock that can connect up to a monitor and keyboard all of which fits in a small bag. They just VPN in and connect on over to their citrix desktop and do whatever they need to do. drat things actually have enough video/cpu horsepower to do it pretty painlessly once you get used to the setup. Using high powered tablets/phones for everything is the future, even if the Fox setup is incredibly stupid. It would suck working on those all day and looking down at the monitor is going to cause neck problems. There is a reason that you generally put monitors at around eye level. Also the distance that your hand has to move between typing and selecting something on the touch screen would be significant enough to make a mouse far more effective, rendering the large and rather expensive touch screens largely redundant.

So this morning I was listening to my local conservative (Jaime Allman) on the radio this morning, and mid-rant he called Obama a "grant imperial wizard"... now, he wasn't trying to make some sort of "liberals are the real racists" point, so I'm pretty sure he's just too stupid to know what a grand or imperial wizard is. I was actually pretty dumbstruck that someone would said that.

Or is that not what they mean when they compare us to Greece? I tend to not listen to those arguments very much because comparing the worlds largest economy by far to a nation with a tiny resource and manufacturing base is inherently silly to me.
