Not what I would consider to be a very sound economic decision in a recovering USA economy. http://nationalreport.net/obama-announces-1-25-sal es-tax-increase-order-pay-muslim-retributions/ | ||

At least the onion is funny. | ||

Promise me you don't believe this Greatlaker. | ||
| Hootowl |
He doesn't. He's just trolling. That sums of the majority of his posts. | ||

No worse than Muslims protesting about the sale of alcohol in East London & demanding Sharia law for their community. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2523658/Mu slim-campaigners-protest-sale-alcohol-popular-East -London-area.html It's the mad few like these who make life so hard for the sane many. | ||

Reminds me of the Progressives and their quest to ban alcohol in the US back in the 20s. We saw how that turned out. | ||

The link that greatlaker posted is a satire website although it never advertises itself as such. "Grand Juror In Darren Wilson Case Outed As KKK Member" "Michelle Obama To Play Wife Of Lando Calrissian In Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens" | ||

Unfortunately, greatlaker is much more than a troll on Badweb. He has threatened physical violence which has NO place here. posted by greatlaker on Tuesday, April 08, 2014 - 11:09 pm:

So Tom why is he still here, we tossed Rocket for less.... | ||

My opinion is that there should be a high bar for banishment. Threatening physical violence is unacceptable. If greatlaker publicly apologized and agreed to refrain from future outbursts, then he should be allowed to post his inane pap. He might actually learn something. Rocket's public antisemitism which he hurled against a Badweb member is absolutely unacceptable here and will NEVER be tolerated. Unfortunately, it is not possible to legislate the hatred and fire that burns within Rocket so it is his right to be a bigot. BUT NOT HERE. I actually like Rocket and if he would agree to keep it in his pants, he would be welcome here. BADWEB IS A GREAT PLACE WITH SOME OF THE MOST FANTASTIC PEOPLE ON EARTH. AND IT SHOWS.

Yeah, that kind of attitude doesn't fit around here. | ||

"The link that greatlaker posted is a satire website although it never advertises itself as such." Hence my remark that at least the onion is funny. This site isn't funny. It's meant to look like a real news site, I guess to fool people into thinking that conservatives are stupid enough to a. publish crap like that, and b. believe everything they read. | ||

Do we detect an effort at Grubering? A good test, actually; no one here fell for it. | ||
| Froggy |
The site http://literallyunbelievable.org posts reactions of people that fall for Onion articles.  | ||
| Crusty |
I thought it was funny. | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
so the dude threatened someone and is still allowed on here? WTF? | ||
| Reindog |
Most likely hockey talk on greatlaker's part....but maybe not. Better to err on the discretionary side and assume that he meant physical harm. greatlaker...care to comment and/or agree to change your behavior? What you posted was decidedly NOT COOL and will dog you as long as you are here. | ||
| Hybridmomentspass |
Yeah, otherwise people will think its ok and just spout of threats constantly around here with no repercussions. Because that is what the mods have shown us, someone can threaten another member and six months later they are still active on the site | ||

The treatment endured by Muslim Americans throughout the past 13 years is comparable to the mistreatment of African Americans that have received retributions . . This is certainly news to my neighbor - he's still waiting for his 40 acres and a mule. This "story" isn't even a good farce. | ||

Ferguson Protester Accidentally Burns Down Own House A protester in Ferguson, Missouri accidentally burned down his own house last night after mistaking the building for a convenience store. According to a report in the Ferguson Post-Gazette, 32-year-old Tyler Jackson threw a Molotov cocktail into a window not realizing he was setting ablaze his own residence. The home, which was empty at the time, subsequently burned to the ground. “It was dark. I got all turned around. I thought it was a 7-11 or something,” he told the newspaper. Witnesses describe Jackson shouting expletives after he realized what he had done. He then tried to put out the flames himself with a garden hose, but eventually called 911 and asked the fire department for aid. “They told me they were too busy with other fires to come help,” he lamented. “I couldn’t believe it. I mean we pay these people’s salaries! What do you mean you're too busy? “A black person’s house burns down and suddenly you’re ‘too busy’ to put the fire out? This is what racism in America looks like.” Ferguson was the site of a controversial shooting on Aug. 9 when Michael Brown, an 18-year-old unarmed black teenager, was shot by police officer Darren Wilson. Protests have raged in the town after a grand jury refused to indict Wilson on Monday. Although the majority of protests have been peaceful, a substantial minority of protesters have attacked law enforcement officers, looted stores and set fire to buildings. These attacks have been called self-defeating because they usually target stores located in their own community and owned by local businesspeople. The damage has been compounded by the fact that many fires go unattended due to concerns for the firefighter’s safety. Nevertheless sources say Jackson is considering filing a civil rights lawsuit against the fire department for not responding to the blaze. “If it weren't for those racist firefighters I’d still have a home,” he says. | ||

sifo, The Daily Currant is a satirical "newspaper". | ||

That's why I posted it in this thread, not the Ferguson thread.  | ||

I . . . . . of course . . labor under the burden of remember Presidents for whom no one would have had to ask "is this true"? Current SOB . . . shame it . . it MIGHT be. | ||
| Hootowl |
True or not, there are parallels to actual events. Seems a few folks are trying to blame the police for the actions of others. | ||

Tom (sifo): "Nevertheless sources say Jackson is considering filing a civil rights lawsuit against the fire department for not responding to the blaze." “If it weren't for those racist firefighters I’d still have a home,” he says. I'd say let him file, then immediately hit him with arson charges, etc. If this story is true, which it seems like it is he'll go down as just the dumbest crook of all times. Do any of the thug/protesters have any intelligence or common sense at all? On the street interviews say no. | ||

Pretty sure that's parody. Biting parody. Tyrants fear laughter. They take themselves very seriously indeed. Notice how certain "public figures" react very badly to mocking or even contradiction. "The Reverend Al", most progressives, Alec Baldwin. ............. |
