Dear Freeper, we need to talk (re: Freeper Conundrum)

Dear Freeper (Ron Paul Supporter, Cave Dweller or whatever)


Yes we don't like each other.

We need to talk.

You have a philosophy that is 100% against what we believe in. You believe that America is a Heavenly designated place where a special 'no lazy bones' zone was created by a Creator, lantern to nations, yeah we got it.

Here is the deal, at least you, like us actually have a working philosophy, and a passion for what we believe in.

It would be difficult to guess which of hates the Kardashian side of America more, you for its hedonistic exploitation of vacuous non earned celebrity or us for its decadent exploitation of vacuous non earned celebrity. OK that was supposed to more of a difference.

Both passionately smashing keyboards working each other's side similar in more ways than either one of us would like to imagine.

Both truly disliking the other side.

We can still talk when it is in our mutual interest.

This is one of those times.

I would like to say that we sympathize with you about your party's 100% sell out on your political and personal values but we find it too fucking hilarious and besides we told you so. Certainly some of you still are clinging to the thin hope that Ryan will turn out to be a good guy. Unfortunately he is a degenerate liar that lies about almost everything including how fast he can run. Not the white knight it turns out he's just another ambitious poll who is going to use your affections to put Paul Ryan ahead of everything.

Now you are facing a conundrum.

Option 1) You support Romney against President Obama. Now from your perspective you have to admit that Romney's past actions or atleast his past campaigns show that Romney as Governor was much closer to the left than Ron Paul. Remember his vow to out liberal Ted Kennedy if they just let him into the Senate?

But even more damning to you has to be the facts, hard cold facts laid out by Taibbi in the Rolling Stone that Romney has a debt fetish. KB Toys had already gone through 'Creative Destruction' by another venture capitalist and Romney leveraged to the hills so that he and his cronies walked away with a couple hundred million and saddling the company with a fatal dose of debt, company gone. Imagine what a guy who loves debt that much will do with the US budget? Leverage to build monuments to his name (and by extension Mr. Smith).

We disagree alto about how great that 'creative destruction' is, but you honestly seem to think bad medicine is often the best medicine, we concede the point for now.

But you all hang in there for the team and then there is the fact that after 4 years President Obama remains African American.

So all of the Freepers, Cave Dwellers, and Ron Paul supports give Romney that 8% support and Romney loses with 49% of the vote. Congratulations you have just bought Romney complete control of the Republican Party and Renomination 2016.

Or half of you hold back, stay home and Romney loses with 45% and congratulations you have just nominated Jeb Bush as leader of your party and if he doesn't win in 2016 he will have a second chance in 2020, isn't that like a Star Trek year or something?

You may be interested in option 2)

Option 2 is you and all the Paulites get busy and organize and support Gary Johnson who the media is trying to ignore. He gets 4-6% of the vote ( or in your delusional world 10% of the vote). Romney takes the state of Utah and the President wins in a landslide. Now you can start putting forth the candidacy of the "one you have been waiting for" or Senator Rand Paul. You will have an organize infrastructure and the party has to take you seriously. Here's the deal, if you get the nomination you will eventually win all of those other Republicans over and we can have an honest point on point debate about where the country is heading in 2016/

Now if we only had a name that captures the ethos of Option 2. Oh how about Creative Destruction? Seems to fit. Tear down a non productive corrupt entity so that a new one can emerge. Very capitalistic. Very Ayn Rand.

Or you could piddle around and start getting your guy ready the same year Captain James T. Kirk enters Starfleet Officer Training School.

"Dear "grantcart"

I would as soon disembowel you and hang you with your own intestines, as give you the time of day.

**** off, you commie POS."

That's from the user *badcat*


I wonder what they ultimately want, hating us so bitterly.

Do they really want to kill us all? Demographics show their destiny: minority splinter group. Do they want to kill us all? Centrists and Democrats are the working, bill-paying Americans that subsidize the red states!

Really. What do they want to happen?

Civil war? Split up the union?

What does badcat want to happen in this country? What does Fred Grady want to happen? I don't think I have ever heard that articulated.

10. "Kinking" Two points

First, perhaps when you are preparing your next, inevitable DUmail criticizing a dropped letter or a misplaced comma you might reflect on this gem of a post.

Second, the thought of Cliffordu Kinking, is so revolting and endears such strong feeling for the animals involved and such an assault on the senses of sight and smell as to induce vomiting that simply the mention of Cliffordu Kinking has become an acceptable response to accidental swallowing of some poisons where vomiting is the recommended treatment and now medicine is available.

Oh, and, finally, I, am, fucking, aware, that, commas, can, indeed, be, your, friend, and, hope, you are, indeed, satisfied with this sentence.

In my defense I would say that my ability to provide spaces and commas in English may have been corrupted by my study of Thai which has no spaces, or commas of any kind.

ที่น่าสังเกตก็คือทั้ง “เพรสคอตต์” และ “เพนเทียมเอ็ม” นั้น ได้รับการพัฒ นาขึ้นมาบนพื้นฐานสถาปัตยกรรมเดียวกัน นั่นหมายความว่า ตอนนี้เดสก์ท็อปโปรเซสเซอร์และโมบายล์โปรเซสเซอร์ของอินเทลมีประสิทธิภาพและความสามารถทัดเทียมกันแล้ว หรือถ้าจะต่างกันก็คงเล็กน้อยในแง่ของเทคโนโลยี อินเทลโมบายล์โปรเซสเซอร์ในปัจจุบันจะเป็นการพัฒนาต่อยอดจากเดสก์ท็อปโปรเซสเซอร์ โดยมีการปรับปรุงให้มีการใช้พลังงานน้อยลง กินไฟน้อยลง ซึ่งเครื่องโน้ตบุ๊คที่ใช้อินเทลโมบายล์โปรเซสเซอร์รุ่นปัจจุบันจะสามารถรันบนแบตเตอรี่ได้นาน 1-4 ชั่วโมงในแง่ของการตลาด อินเทลจะทำตลาดโปรเซสเซอร์เพนเทียมเอ็ม ภายใต้ชื่อ “เซนทริโน” (Centrino)
โดยวางจำหน่วยเป็นชุดแพ็คเกจ ที่นอกจากจะมีโปรเซสเซอร์แล้ว ยังมีชิปเซ็ตและโมดูลระบบสื่อสารไร้สาย (WiFi) รวมอยู่ด้วย

A situation that has created specialized problems for software trying to read, understand and summarize what is written as discussed here;

http://delivery.acm.org/10.1145/1120000/1118937/p9-jaruskulchai.pdf?ip=76.178.46.10&acc=OPEN&CFID=110697492&CFTOKEN=65005325&__acm__=1346624823_0f362e7ed80f8ae127f9aa53b2cb38ae



It is a challenge to summarize these documents, since they are extremely different from documents written in English. . . for the Thai writing system, there are no boundaries between adjoining words, and also there are no explicit sentences boundaries within the document.



I hope that the above has met with your approval Professor and that you can return to your "Kinking".

Kinking was exactly what we (Mrs. grantcart and I) were doing.

Rubber suits, pickles (cut not whole) a chimichanga, the cat (the tuxedo, not the tortie..that beeotch almost killed me last week...) We have 'Top Gear' on, too, cause she thinks that giant slack jawed motherfucker is reminiscent of you.

Anyway - About the real typos - You ever tried to use an iPad while fully oiled and wrestlin' ??

I thought not.

Peace. Out.
