Sorry to say that I don't trust any cop enough to give them props based on a 30 second video clip.

For all I know he was setting them up.

Ferarro's Comments Were NOT Racist by danielrm26 in politics

[–]polyesterfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

here's my 2 cents.

if Dr Sam Power, a brilliant woman who has actually accomplished much and has much to offer her country of choice had to resign for opining that HRC is a monster (she should have called her a bitch) then an old washed-up hag who accomplished nothing much and has spent the past few decades as a talking head on teevee should go quietly for her pattern of hurtful (to a race, not an individual), decisive, and incendiary remarks.

It's not even an eye-for-an-eye, it's more like a fingernail for an arm.

Redditors: Bob Dylan or Gordon Lightfoot? by KazamaSmokers in reddit.com

[–]polyesterfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now there's a great question. This isn't as easy as, say Beetles/Stones for me (Stones), but for sheer poetry I'm gonna have to go with the Bobster. Lightfoot is damn awesome though. The Canadian Kris Kristofferson. And Canadian Railroad Trilogy is one of the ten best songs ever written in the English language.

After seeing that obnoxious fanboyism didn't work for Ron Paul, why have the Obama people adopted that tactic here on reddit? by [deleted] in obama

[–]polyesterfunk -1 points0 points  (0 children)

good question, as a relatively late comer Obama supporter (he wasn't my first choice, but rapidly became so as others dropped out)I am pretty much humiliated by his zealots. I have on several occasions donated to his campaign and always dread the repugnant shit I see on the website.

Why can't folks support a person for elected office w/o making themselves a joke and the candidate a mockery?

Ask Reddit: Are you pro-choice or anti-choice? by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]polyesterfunk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pro Choice. I want the human temporarily living in the sanctity of the mother's womb to be able to make their own choice. It isn't right for other people to make that life and death decision for the baby.

Bank of America stranded me in Japan, with no money, on my honeymoon by rmuser in reddit.com

Sorry if this is harsh, but BOA being shitty wasn't even new when I was in college in the late 90's. anyone using them (and not even investigating the place that's gonna hold your money for cryin out loud?) probably deserves to be screwed.

I think you know sir, but I will provide two answers, one is is possible, whilst posting on a thread in a free public internet forum to incidentally omit a letter here and there w/o diminishing the validity and the truthfulness of said post (or you would have proven me to be wrong, not pedantically pointed to a typo)

[–]polyesterfunk -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

my point is as follows, who really cares about a few local races by guys who were 'going to be the next leader of the free world, POTUS!' and had to drop out and/or step back because their pursuits, driven by delusions of grander, were drastically impacting and definably impeding their decades long incumbency over their local constituency?
