I truly equate time wasters the same with murderers.

I would actually probably like to see it if they did!

Maybe it could clue me in to the psychology of time wasting assholes and by understanding their psychology I could better relate to why someone might be a worthless blight on this species like they are.

Clearly being so much more human than they, I'm having trouble relating with the animal criminals.

Well..its a kids book so the theme is a bit more sesame street than all that...still, a wonderful story.

I've been trying listen to Congressional hearings lately.

wouldnt it be nice if there was a politician that would be somewhere along the lines of.. " ok we got x as the problem i got y as the solution.. explains x. .and explains y = explains z (outcome) no catch no tricks .. how bout that ? lets go pass the vote! "

That actually does happen...more or less.

Problem is they tend to leave out the part of which special interests benefit from sovling that specific problem and then another congressman will point that out and say "the thing you're saying is a problem isn't really a problem." And use cherry picked data points to prove their point.

Also there is a lot of posturing. Like the whole thing about giving aid to states for the pandemic...from what i understand, behind closed doors republicans were never really opposed to this but some members were outspoken critics of the idea as a bargaining technique. Say you don't want something you actually want so that when you "give" it to the other side during negotiation it seems like a concession.

Republicans are going to fold hard on that talking point in fhe next aid package from what i've been hearing.

It's not supposed to require moderation for replies for long term users. For some reason this wasn't applying to Lano. However, this should be fixed now. :)

Thanks!

@Padre_J_Roulston Can I bother you to approve my response?

Is there something wrong with the code for this site? why did soco's comment go through but mine did not? Is it because I quoted her? but if that is why why did hers go through in the first place?

If you listen very carefully the side that is losing will raise every old conspiracy theory still in Brietbarts or Qanons toilet. They throw ****shit hoping some of it sticks to the other side.

I was listening to the bill barr hearing and the ranking republican was just like "well OBMAMAAAAAAAA" and yes that was a waste of time.

But it was also a waste of time for Jerry to ask vague questions that we all know the answer to and to not give barr a chance to completely answer certain questions.


I don't love what i've heard from Jerry Nadler others i have heard are better.

Mistakes are one thing. That's not what I'm talking about. Being a sloshy headed waste of skin all the time set out to ruin everyone because they're f*cked up is who I'm talking about.

You think it's okay for your doc to screw up like that once in a while because he's human and that's normal. I think it's okay too. I wouldn't expect them to be perfect either. Wouldn't by the 5th or 6th time in a row though, maybe you'd start thinking something else was going on?

Yah, no, you wouldn't like that at all. You'd be really angry at his incompetence and pick a different doctor.

These days, it's harder and harder to pick a different one though because they're ALL EQUALLY STUPID!!!!! I mean hopefully not doctors but maybe!

I saw a guy walk into the middle of traffic earlier today. Like he didn't give af that he was crossing a street and could get hit by a car and die instantly. Did I get mad at him because he was stupid? NO. Would I get mad at him if I saw him do it for the second solid week in a row? YAH!! GET THE RETARD OUT OF THE ROAD!!!! Something else is up there than the occasional 'oh i fckd up'.

Those aren't real examples but you have to be able to understand the difference between a mistake and consistent incompetence.

I know you have seen the kind of folks I'm talking about. They're everywhere.
They know what they're doing, they're doing it on purpose. It is premeditated and it is murder.

The one's who are set out everyday to ruin your life because they hate there's, I guess. I don't really know their stupid motivation. Maybe they're just sick and like it.

Well I hate mine too but I'm still not that selfish. I'm sick of everyone's sick selfishness. You can go to jail first before you bring it to me! Partial murder should be against the law.

I think I understand now, but if so I don't group the people you are talking about under "time-wasters." There are a lot of people who just don't take other people into account with their actions. You know, these guys:

I group those people with the types who throw their garbage out into the street out of their car and who talk loudly and for a long period of time on a train while sitting right next to other people...people lacking a certain type of everyday empathy.

I don't know the details of what you're talking about but it reminds me of something that happened to me very recently.

Yesterday i drove my dad to an appointment for a minor procedure.

Due to a scheduling mix up...the dr wasn't there. So i took a day off to drive him 30 minutes away for no reason.

So not only was an hour wasted driving him back and forth but i lost a vacation day i can't get back.

I wouldn't say i'd have the person who messed up murdered though...i wouldn't even want them fired.


People make mistakes. That's life.
