I believe that people are mixing Apples and Floorwax again.

This program is not about funding an end to attrocity - it's about helping rape victims survive the attrocities committed against them.

These are lives, people.

They need help and cherishing.

Not to sound cliche, but this IS about not seeing the forrest for the trees.

@#4 Bottlekid:

1) More dogs - he loves animals.

2) Less security - he wouldn't have made every thinking adult in the world hate him.

"...and I know others that do this from family to family, but money brokers in any religion are only after one thing and they will do whatever it takes to keep that."

@ #7 Sirdook:

It says to post your CONTACT number or EMAIL - not your home number, doofus! How else can they contact you concerning your complaint?

It looks like we've found another person who was booted from Consumerist for being a whiney twit who failed to read the articles before firing off half-cocked responses.

The best part of the article is the comments section!

New character on Family Guy in 5...4...3...2...

@#2: He appears to be puting on his alterboy vestments. As to the shovel/brooms, they appear to be collection baskets. This appears to be a backstage room where they store all of the magic tricks/costumes for the performance.

Note the absence of rabbits, though - not an Easter show...

Happy cows make happy meat
The kind of cows we love to eat
And we use every bit but the feet
We pour on the spice
And it starts to taste nice
But make sure you ask for well-done!

It's at Bun, Bun And Run
Tastes like food
But much more fun!

I guess he's off to reconnect with his 1st life...

New fantasy character: "Scalzibear Moonstross"

Sounds like a warlock.

Time for the Turkish army to slash and burn the government of fundimentalists again...

To quote Humungus from The Road Warrior:

"There has been too much violence, too much pain. None here are without sin. But I have an honorable compromise. Just walk away.”

@Pyros

"If you think not having due process is unjust, fucking do something about it."

I tried, but they invalidated my vote.

Are you espousing armed revolution or just being an internet tough-guy? Either will produce the same level of accmplishment.

I want an urn shaped like Sargon's sphere from the original series episode "Return to Tomorrow" - it would light up when a person approached and tell them of my greatness. It would also ask for $3.50 ("tree-fiddy").

Not to be a stickler, but wouldn't this be considered "springpunk"...?

You'd think that, as this is a wedding photo, he could have at least washed his pants...

Yeah, this will end as foreseen...

@#2: Poking fun at or paying homage to...?

Twig,

The problem with that is "what starts in the head, ends in the hand" - if you think it long enough, it becomes true to you.

No one who is given the authority to use deadly force should EVER crack wise about abusing that power.

Never.

"But if it's just words? I'm not going to freak out about it."

As the guy said to SGT. Stedanko in "Up In Smoke":

"Bye-bye, Lardass!"

Don't go the PETA shame route - it's an HOV lane to "fail".

For someone with a moniker of "Technical Writing Geek" - your grammar is suspect:

"If you've ever socialize with a pig"

WTF?

Lot of trolls in here today...

There is no fate worse than death for a human being. Anyone who tells you different is trying to sell you something.

This is more of a statement of how New Yorkers (or anyone who take mass transit) deal with trash in their transitory environs.

"Ain't my job to pick it up. I get off at the next station, anyway."

@abs:

History is written by the living. They will judge.

What you are doing is trying to sell the idea that social mores are more important than breathing.

Good luck with that.

Tim,

It's just that every post you make shows that you have a very biased and christian-centric viewpoint for an agnostic.

Because she and he admitted, under oath, that they were drug users/dealers.

And that is illegal.

That's why.

@#25: Here comes the timfoil again...

@#26: Using/buying meth isn't illegal in Canada? Why the heck hasn't the entire population of North America moved there?!?!? 8-)

@#32:

"If one was walking along and found some drugs and used them and a law enforcement enthusiast happened by, the most they could produce in charges would be possession."

After that statement, I think that we are done trying to communicate.

Bye bye.

To paraphrase Dr McCoy:

"How can you get a legal ruling on a damned illegal thing (drug sale/usage)?"

2. No ruling, no legal intervention/precedent.

From the article:

"Michael David, who had been staying at an Ellsworth motel, sold four 10-milligram methadone pills for $15 each last week, Police Chief John Deleo said.

He >>then

He bought the ticket with the proceeds from the drug sales.

Cops got it right, this time.

Poster (David) got it wrong.

Wow, comment posting system is messed up today.

"Michael David, who had been staying at an Ellsworth motel, sold four 10-milligram methadone pills for $15 each last week, Police Chief John Deleo said.

You see what I mean.

"Michael David, who had been staying at an Ellsworth motel, sold four 10-milligram methadone pills for $15 each last week, Police Chief John Deleo said.

He then went to a convenience store and bought lottery tickets and other merchandise and went back to his motel room, where he was busted."

I will advise the internet to stay off of your damn lawn.

Having hunted deer and butchered several cows in my lifetime - you're damned right I'm going to eat meat.

If you want to subsist solely on weeds like some sort of bipedal ruminant, that is your right - go for it.

If you come to preach, I suggest you turn around before the rest of us carnivores reclassify you in the foodchain.

You got a REAL point there, PETA-boi?

Pat D.,

Nope, I hate guns. I was an MP in the US Army for 8 years and learned that very few good things come from guns.

You seem awfully easy to impress.

@#2BrianD:

From Wikipedia:
"Postmodern architecture was an international style whose first examples are generally cited as being from the 1950s, and which continues to influence present-day architecture. Postmodernity in architecture is generally thought to be heralded by the return of "wit, ornament and reference" to architecture in response to the formalism of the International Style of modernism. As with many cultural movements, some of postmodernism's most pronounced and visible ideas can be seen in architecture. The functional and formalized shapes and spaces of the modernist movement are replaced by unapologetically diverse aesthetics: styles collide, form is adopted for its own sake, and new ways of viewing familiar styles and space abound."
