On my way to lunch I passed a homeless guy with a sign that read "Vote Obama, I need the money." I laughed. Once in the restaurant my server had on a "Obama 08" tie, again I laughed as he had given away his political preference -- just imagine the coincidence. When the bill came I decided not to tip the server and explained to him that I was exploring the Obama redistribution of wealth concept. He stood there in disbelief while I told him that I was going to redistribute his tip to someone who I deemed more in need--the homeless guy outside. The server angrily stormed from my sight. I went outside, gave the homeless guy $5 and told him to thank the server inside as I've decided he could use the money more. The homeless guy was grateful. At the end of my rather unscientific redistribution experiment I realized the homeless guy was grateful for the money he did not earn, but the waiter was pretty angry that I gave away the money he did earn even though the actual recipient deserved money more. I guess redistribution of wealth is an easier thing to swallow in concept than in practical application.

That was probably the first political thing I've read that I actually paid attention to and enjoyed... THANK YOU

Do you guys really think liberals, Democrats, and Obama supporters are that shallow/sensitive/stupid?

I wasn't making a personal attack against you, you seem to be a very nice guy and I have nothing against you personally. You asked a question, I answered and when I did I didn't mean every single liberal, democrat, or Obama supporter but yes, the majority I believe are. I have no problem engaging in a normal political discussion and I have never tried to attack you personally or even spoken an ill word about you. I have never replied to anything you have said in anger and don't understand why you just did. I just reply and try to express my point just like you do to my posts. I'm not sure why you took this as something personal against you... I thought thats what happens here is that people debate and spew forth our line of crap no matter which side we stand for...

urbino

I'll bring the box of Cammy wrappers

PuroFreak:

The people who are pressured into being conservatives have no spine, the people who are liberals so they look cool and compasionate have no brains.

Again, I think you're making a distinction where there is none. People who go along just to get along are primarily shallow and lazy, regardless of whether they're going along with conservatism or liberalism. There is no spine vs. brain distinction; in either case, the person is just choosing not to exercise either one.

Just wrappers? What are we supposed to do with them, bind our wounds?

Was more in response to this comment:

PuroFreak:

and your admission in another thread that you'd smoke anything in a Cammy wrapper

urbino

Did I say that? I meant to say I'd poke anything wrapped in a camisole.

PuroFreak

I feel like there is a distinction between the two, the spineless one may not believe deep down the same things that they express openly in the community, but the brainless one does believe what they say to the public, but the only reason they think that way is because it makes them look cool and helps their image.

You begin to understand why I had a problem with your original formulation.

PuroFreak:

He has crushed peoples careers simply because they are conservative and have dontated money or supported conservative causes.

I don't follow Hollywood news, so I have no idea how accurate that statement is. Assuming it's 100% true, though, isn't that his right as a successful businessman in a free market?

PuroFreak

Yes, that is his right, I was saying the people that pretend to be lieberals are "spineless" for not standing up for what they truely believe in.
