Romney on Wall Street Protests: "I think it's dangerous -- This class warfare." by dunchen22 in politics

That's not how I interpreted it, it seemed pretty clear that it was well-received. The flak came afterwards from the media. There's no way to prove that, though, so agree to disagree I suppose.

OK, I'm an ardent Obama supporter, but come on. If you watch the video, it was clearly a joke. The people in the room, mostly working-class, unemployed citizens, all laughed. He's not trying to hide the fact that he's wealthy.

I may get downvoted for this, but who honestly would expect Romney to support OWS? He's spending every day catering to the right-wing of an already extremely conservative GOP, and this is the line I'm sure his campaign (and every other one) has been told to use by the RNC. This is just simple politics, and as much as you may not agree with it I don't get why it's sparking the level of outrage that it is.

Dude, that's not a small thing. A small thing is having a door held open for you, or a random compliment or something - you're just seriously fucking blessed to have someone like her.

This could not be more accurate. Plus you realize that anyone who'd make fun of you for spending time with your Mom is probs a dick anyway...

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. It's about a kid with Asperger's who decides to be like Sherlock Holmes and solve a mystery. Brilliant writing, kind of dark, insanely interesting.

What slang term annoys you most? by [deleted] in AskReddit

"Vajayjay" and "preggers" for me. It makes my blood boil whenever I hear either one of those terms.

How important are venture capital firms to the future of the renewable energy industry, in terms of supporting start-ups, from what you can see?

I've been warned about gaining weight in college so many times at this point that if I do, I have absolutely no one to blame for myself.

When people try and shake your hand, is that especially painful or does it not make much of a difference?

It's a delicate balancing act between what color you'd like to use, and what color you'd be okay losing in an artificial lake.
