I don't get why people want to lock themselve in an echo chamber. That seems silly to me.
From my experience it seems to be an issue of wanting control and self assurance. That being, "if all these people think and say the same thing as me, I MUST be doing the right thing!"
Don't worry, we're prepared. Since we took a huge dump on our roads/highways funding, the potholes are now large enough that if you see a tornado that you should swerve your car into one and it should just pass you right by.
What I find humorous about the current topic and the posts being flung onto the wall like so much feces is that posts like yours good sir, whether I agree or not, add to the discussion and yet are being modded flamebait for no real apparent reason. After this modding, posts such as yours usually have a small flood of ACs follow your commentary with short, witless posts which quite frankly add nothing to the discourse. I'm all for being an AC from time to time, as it serves a purpose. However, at the moment, it feels like it is being abused by one or a few select individuals whose goals seem to be to misrepresent the dialog being built under this topic and burying that which they do not agree with.
Now, mind you my post is off-topic and I will expect it will be modded as such, as the flood of AC seems to be cresting quite the large wave as of late. This AC behavior has been growing as of late, and seems most apparent on politically charged topics. I only hope this pattern is temporary and just wished to say, bravo for having the balls to attach your name to your beliefs.
One more reason that I wont ever buy another apple product
Tim Cook telling these right-wing psychopaths to piss off is surely a reason to avoid buying Apple products.
What kind of bullshit is this? Extremist climate change deniers turning up in the Apple shareholder meeting, and trying to foist their idiotic "profit above anything" agenda on Apple, getting the response they deserve (actually, not _quite_ what they deserve, corporal punishment is what they deserve), and that makes you want to avoid Apple products?
Honestly, his response has made me consider Apple now that I am looking for a replacement for my current aging MP3 player. (It's going on 5 years now and is starting to act funky)
As a Tulsa, Oklahoma resident, this fills me with so much pride. Now to raise the money for a monument to Fenrir! Maybe a Ledberg stone replica? Anyone else up for it?
How so? I don't believe they charge interest on the loan. It just counts as an 'Equipment Installment' until you pay off the cost of the device as it was at the time you received it.

Mr mark-t, what you've just said;... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul...

Wait, we can have bread AND butter?!
Wait, Hogwarts isn't real?
Maybe this? If so, I can't wait to get old!

Holy smokes were you right! The comments section where Gene responds to things is hilarious. It reads like butt-hurt and frustration.
Fellow Tulsa dweller here, you're preachin' to the choir brother.
The next month there are two toll lanes and a muddy ditch in each direction.
I wish people would stop bringing Oklahoma into these things...

Wow, something even more boring and pointless than golf, I forgot all about fishing...
Except with fishing, at least you get to eat when you win.
I propose we put forward this rule in golf as well, you get to eat when you win.
Finally, an excuse to play Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins when I try and swat the lil bastards!

My personal favorite! *sigh* Oh well.

... all units converge on Walnut Creek?
In other news, colony collapse disorder... caused by glue.
Then we need to start a campaign to inform young bees about the dangers of sniffing glue.

Only if she's 5'3".
It's not like you'll be able to identify them by their face in those instances.

lol, I got mod'd 'overrated'. It looks like I made a few new 'friends' elsewhere.
It shocks me whenever I waste time on Slashdaaarrrrgh
What?
"It shocks me whenever I waste time on Slashdaaarrrrgh."
What is that?
He must have died while carving it.
-Come on!
-That's what it says.
Look, if he was dying,
he wouldn't bother to carve "Slashdaaarrrrgh."
-He'd just say it.
-That's what's carved in the rock.
-Perhaps he was dictating it.
-Shut up!
-Does it say anything else?
-No!
Just "Slashdaaarrrrgh."
Slashdaaarrrrgh.
Do you suppose he meant the Camargue?
-Where's that?
-ln France, I think.
-lsn't there a St. Slashdaaarrrrgh's in Cornwall?
-No, that's St. Ives.
St. Ives.
No, "Slashdaaarrrrgh." At the back of the throat.
No, in surprise and alarm!
-You mean a sort of a "Ah!"
-Yes, that's right.
My God!
It's the Legendary Black Beast of Slashdaaarrrrgh!

How much is the economic value of I-35 worth to you?
It leads to Texas, so none. ;)
