The issue is much larger. The issue is how a blatant attempt to deny access to the democratic process in an election year can lead to other regetable consequences. As far as running after your letter carrier goes, that's laughable. As far as leaving important mail, you know like a ballot, in your mailbox please know that mail theft is a way bigger problem than voter fraud. But the biggest issue is the mindset that if it hasn't happened to you then it's obviously not likely to happen.

If that's the standard I'm thinking we have a near endless supply of Mod material on SC :) Seriously, no Mod apologies required. We all know that any other choice would be vastly worse from a quality perspective. Of course if hilarity were the prime consideration, and I wish it were, several outstanding choices come straight to mind. Normiss had it coming. If not for this then for something. That goes for all of us, except Coreece. The thing is, to be truly effective you need to deal out woe to the innocent and those you like. The guilty, and the soon to be guilty, don't give a crap. They see the demerit box like a marble bag: the fuller the better. But when the innocent get hammered folks notice and get that "there go I" thing happening deep in the recesses and the machine keeps chugging along. That's critical work. After all, where else could we go and know that on any given day we could use ad nauseam and stultifying in the same sentence?

AFF level 3 goes wrong! Rate this instructor!
JoeWeber replied to ghostdog's topic in Safety and Training
AFF Level 3???. Camera mount on his helmet, yellow googles, and no sign of a radio? Does anyone here not doubt what is before their eyes? Rig #22 so it's not a tiny DZ. Wings rig so it's likely in the US which agrees with the ridiculous decals on his helmet. Whatever. The DZO needs to get out of the business if this is really an AFF Level 3. If it's the Coach jump it appears to be then USPA needs to take the sign down or quit rating coaches, if the Coach was even rated. Even so, it's back on the DZO. If your coaches suck that bad and you send them up anyway you are in the wrong business. -
There IS a problem with global warming... it stopped in 1998
JoeWeber replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
Indeed, you are being consistent. That's why you take so much crap. Let's just stick with your 8/2/2020 numbers. And for everyone potentially in the way of a named hurricane I hope you are right. -
It was no personal attack and you know it. It was commentary on your own statements in this thread. I concede I'm getting a bit crusty on the subject but, in fairness, it isn't voters like me who have totally fucked up our country by electing and continuing to support a moron like Trump. That is on you. You and others who simply cannot see or concede that socialism comes in the form of tax policy, highway construction projects or requirements that emergency rooms take everyone at the expense of the public purse. I've tried mightily to get my head wrapped around where Trump supporters are coming from. In 2017 I sort of got the point. In 2020 I'm beyond mystified and have arrived at pissed off. Nothing, it seems absolutely nothing, the idiot does seems to move the conservative base. He is a bigoted, misogynistic, self dealing asshole who does not care an iota about anything beyond his own self interests. And he is our President. So you just be all irritated if that makes you happy. But when you go to mail a letter and there is no mail box don't blame the liberals.

Well, if you weren't fully hypnotized by the right wing media meme about tax dollar paid social programs only being abused by the lazy poor, you might say that we really need to look at the thing inside of all four corners and stop focusing on the obvious: social programs designed to assist those who are poor, disabled, hungry, without medical care, aged, alone, scared and uncertain about their futures because they are never going to give back what they were given.

Dude, you're like a wind up toy. Help yourself out and take a pass on the "fatties" for a month and do some outside study.

Could be the same guy, I don't know, people are saying. I tried looking him up on www.codger.com but nada.

myriad: countless or extremely great in number. So more like Trump lies, not social programs. What's your line did you say? Commercial Real Estate? What would be your opinion of the IRS social program for wealthy commercial real estate investors that allowed Trump to take a $915,000,000 Net Operating Loss in 1995? Given that he didn't report any cancelled debt, and because it was then an approved IRS welfare program, it's is likely he did the ol' stock for debt swapperoo. And all of it as legal as food stamps those wasteful Social Security disability payments. Of course it's completely different as well as being not the same because somehow, some way, some day those NOL's will trickle down to someone, somewhere or something.

Maybe you should check out Crazy Russian Hacker on youtube. No useless information to plug up your synapses there.

If there is anyone here who actually buys and eats Uncle Ben's rice or Aunt Jemima's pancake mix and so feels as strongly about those products as they do their favorite Hooker, or what ever Rob was talking about, please PM me for counseling at very favorable rates.

Damn you're a slow learner. Run her posts through the smart-o-meter and see what you get. Seriously, do you think that slacker Billvon would subject himself to training someone like me?
-
Well done, yo, telling the new Mod she ain't as smart as someone who has yet to prove he's as smart as you say he is. I hope you have plenty of room in your demerit box.
-
So where's my like? If I'm gonna retire at 400 I need some support!
-
The more Mod's the better, I've always said. Maybe it's also time to have an officially appointed "Peoples Committee" to weigh in on Mod decisions. You know, sort of like having employee and union rep's on the Board. Surely given the overwhelming representation of liberal sorts on SC this should be a welcome suggestion. Of course there would need to be a representative, non partisan, group so assigned. I'd like to start by nominating Coreece to the group.
-
Nor should you. But if you feel compelled to apologise for your ignorance, prejudice and failure to fulfill the most basic expectations those of us who give a shit have of someone with a voter registration card I'm sure we'll be all ears.
-
You caused be to agree with two of your points and to like your post, too. Uncool.
-
Thanks Bill. I wrote a long reply, less thoughtful than yours, that was lost with one of the too many connections things. Ron, please think long and hard over Bill's words. Gotta go. I'm half way up the mast to get a signal and the winds are getting problematic.

In good Skydekker fashion once again you can find a way slam America. Have you considered working up the courage to start your own thread?
-
Can anyone here who supports Trump please tell me how any of the 4 executive orders actually does anything useful? We're looking at payroll tax deferral, not forgiveness (not that we should), instructions to agencies to "consider" if there should be a ban on evictions and demands that states pick up the tab for unemployment benefits while they hope that for the first time in his life he actually pays for something he ordered. Wheres the meat?

John, If the graph isn't fake news, then the NOAA Logo is getting significantly colder over time. So what's your point? -
Tell a Portland Uber driver you want to go to a Thigh Restaurant and just stand by.

There was no "or else" there shit holey or not. Hey, I have an idea, instead of picking away at everyone everyone else's scabs whenever you're bored why not start some of your own threads?

Canadian Oil interests are not against pipelines running across US lands. But this is all a digression. What chapped my ass was Skydekker calling the US a shit hole country. We are not. We currently suck, that's a fact. That said, I respectfully submit that some Canadians might show a tad more restraint given the curve of history.
-
That's just awful. Somebody needs to do something to stop it. Perhaps you could do a quick check of the Canadien Oil interests organizational chart and see if they have a somebody. You know, a somebody who thinks America should not need to deal with tar sands oil in the first place. No? Then we'll just be the assholes instead.
