8:00 AM - - Wakes up and gets ready to go to his "job". Larry skips his shower today, since he frankly doesn't care. After putting on his hippie sandals, he's ready to start his day.

8:35 AM - - Tunes his radio to Air America while driving to work in his volkswagen. The reception isn't too great, 'cause the radio station he loves is shutting down all across the nation, because of lack of listenership. Larry hears that 2 US troops have died in Iraq, and we see the first signs of a tiny smirk on his face.

12:00 Noon - - Larry eats his sandwich which he brought from home, and he decides to eat it in the park today. He is reading the newest Michael Moore book, which he bought last week, and he wonders why people walking by are laughing at him and ridiculing him.

5:00 PM - - After an uneventful, mediocre day at work. Larry drives home in his VW, and turns on Al-Jazeera when he gets inside. He looks very content.

7:00 PM - - Larry logs on to his computer, and proceeds to troll internet forums, insulting everybody who is to the left of him.

12:00 AM - - Larry goes to bed, alone, and while lying in his bed, he realizes he forgot to brush his teeth again, but he is too lazy to get up. . . . .He stares at his poster of Stalin on the wall, while trying to fall asleep.....


And thus the cycle continues the next day, and the next day following that.....etc. etc....

[OldManMac]

Wow. Did you make that up all by yourself? You should be proud. How original.

You forgot:

3:00PM - - Larry goes to the mailbox and doesn't receive his monthly government check. Larry then starts pitching a fit about the wealthy and how those who make more than him (or actually work in the first place) owe him this month's entitlement check.

Let's blow this popsicle stand.

On another leftie icon:

Day in the life of an anarchist:
Gets up.
Looks at Che Guavara poster. Made in big stupid factory with lots of chemicals, and paper.
Eats Commie O's, made it a factory by a bunch of ladies in hair nets.
Goes to school with his Anti-Flag Anarchists t-shirt on.
[t-shirt uses very environmentally unfriendly chemicals, much energy consumption, pollution from shipping, etc.)
Makes smartass comment in history about America being a dictatorship.
Complains during lunch how no one like Nirvana or DK. Or Dropkick Murpheys.
Also complains about pollution in an energy consuming cafeteria with a/c.
Insults a Christian. Complain. Hate.
Goes home on a bus, lots of gas used there.
Goes online, uses many services, and many products of capitalism.
Bitches on boards about the bourgeoisie.
Goes to sleep in his factory made matress, complete with Lenin and Stalin Sheets. Thinks nothing of war crimes of commies.
Rinse, repeat.

Find the hidden messages in color.
No make the one for the biggest pinko commie.

[Demonhood]

Both parties can continue to post these absurd little stories, but it's not helping the level of debate in here.

Either admit that not all people on the left are commies, not all people on the right are nazis, and not all squares are rectangles, or just stop posting. It grew tiresome long ago.

Yeah yeah, I know someone is going to say "But they started it first!!" What is this, first grade? Get over it.

[CreepingDeth]

Boredom can do that to the mind.
Come on, this isn't debate club.

No, but reading this place becomes less informative/entertaining when it's the same old junk from the same old people day after day.

{edit}
Old junk meaning attitudes/debate tactics/closed minds, not necessarily content.

[CreepingDeth]

What's old junk? That's the first part of the series of "day in the life" things by me.
Not really. I can't remember any other thread like this in the time I've been here.

[Zimphire]

I've heard the same anti-Bush rants for 4 years now. Sounds like a broken record. You are going to get the same answers as well.

Just think; come January and you won't have to hear them anymore. Won't that be a relief?

Canada would be fine too.

[CreepingDeth]

Yeah. It's always either one of these:
1. Bush is retarded
2. Bush is stupid
3. Uh, Bush isn't bright.
4. Selected, no elected.
5. A Nazi.
6. Draftdodger.
7. Bush is stupid.

That's more annoying than 1 thread about made up stories.

A day in the life of Richard Righty:

6:30 AM -- Wakes up to his buzzing digital clock. Dutifully showers, spending 10 minutes perfecting his Republican comb-over.

7:00 AM -- Eats his bowl of good ol' American Corn Flakes™ while flipping between Fox News and the local traffic report. Reads in the morning paper about a new 1200 acre housing development being built in a protected wetland area. We see a small grin creep across his face.

7:30 AM -- Jumps in his giant SUV and turns on Laura Ingraham on the radio. Laughs out loud at her silly sound bites. Flips out when he realizes he has to stop for gas again when he just filled up 4 days ago.

7:45 AM -- Stops at the local gas station for a fill-up. Quietly grumbles about paying $2.50 a gallon 'cuz of "those damn Arab bastards". Stuffs the $50 receipt in his sport coat pocket.

8:10 AM -- 10 minutes late due to the gas detour he slinks in the back door at work. Double-checks that he still has his wallet after walking by the African-American janitor. Plops down in his cubicle for another monotonous day of meaningless paperwork.

9:00 AM -- After an hour of legitimate work, flips on the Radio Factor on his $10 Taiwanese radio. Nothing significant is accomplished at his job for the next 2 hours.

11:00 AM -- Participates in a meeting, but all he can think about is how much he can't stand the ACLU.

12:00 PM -- Returns to his desk just in time to catch Rush on tape delay. Eats his leftover meatloaf from last night while giggling about "those damn femi-nazis".

1:00 PM -- Makes it look like he's working by randomly moving papers around his cube while focusing on Rush.

3:00 PM -- Checks his 401k, IRA and mutual funds online while his coworkers go out for a smoke. Crams a day's worth of work into the final two hours.

5:00 PM -- Back in the SUV listening to the dulcet tones of Sean Hannity over his stereo. Honks his gigantic horn at the "puny little wussy hybrid Jap crap car" in front of him who is only going 75 MPH instead of 90.

6:00 PM -- Agitated from the hour-long commute, chastises his wife for not having the kitchen clean or dinner ready. Retires to the basement to polish his rifles and pistols.

6:30 PM -- Eats a mediocre Hamburger Helper™ dinner. Gets pissed at the kids when they ask for some French fries.

7:00 PM -- Takes off his shoes and relaxes by reading from his copy of Oliver North's "War Stories".

8:00 PM -- Cranks up the TV to watch the O'Reilly Factor instead of tucking his children in bed. Ends up yelling at a pro gay-marriage activist on the show.

9:00 PM -- Catches up on the day's news on Fox News Channel. Ends up ranting to his wife about how "those damn liberal pussies" don't have a clue about protecting America from terrorists. His wife nods her head in agreement with a slightly sedated and glazed look on her face.

10:00 PM -- Brushes his teeth and changes into his pajamas. Prays to Jesus, thanking him for George W. Bush and Dick Cheney. Slips under the covers of his separate bed, and gazes at his newly created altar to Ronald Reagan on his nightstand as he slowly drifts to sleep.

The last lines in the quote, citing Lenin and Stalin, just shows, yet another time, that you don't understand anything about anarchism!

Why should a "leftie" not shower? What's wrong with "hippies"? Etc. etc.

You "righties" have some quite strange ideas, indeed!

And due to all the money he makes Larry Lefty can sit at home, collect government handouts, and complain about how evil capitalism is (on the days he isn't out in downtown Seattle bombing Starbucks or burning down the Nike Store).

[Ω]

Wow!

MacNN has reached a new level of stupidity. DH you should have locked this thread at your first post, because honestly, if this thread represents mac users, we are a bunch of ****ing idiots.

[Dr.HermanG.]

Geez, man, lighten up. Can't we have fun once in ahile? I really don't believe anyone's being serious with these two threads.

Since you chose to complain about this thread, and not the other thread which came first, one can only conclude that you take offense to this thread, and certain parts of it hits close to home.

[Ω]

There was another thread?

Honestly I did not see it. If it is as pathetic as this one I would say the same.

I have had an epiphany of sorts. Don't bother arguing with people who will never change their mind. Accept the fact you disagree, and then shut up the **** up.

I used to post in the pol lounge on occasions but have been refraining from posting, because frankly some of you people scare me. The level of hate and fear that is spread is alarming, and I think every one should back away from the table and chill the **** out for awhile, because sorry to burst peoples bubbles, but the world does not really give a **** about what people in the MacNN forums are spouting on about. You may think that a high post count in these forums means something, but in the real world it don't cut it.

Discussion is meant to be about dialogue, but unfortunately the people communicating are so far apart that nothing is being resolved.

[Dr.HermanG.]

Ironically that post is full of hate and closed mindedness.

[dreilly1]

This is utter bullsh!t. I know plenty of conservatives who drive VW's. (only they call them Audis.)

And please stop this nonsense. Just because Lerkfish seems to have taken leave of his senses while he's recovering from whatever happened to him doesn't mean that the insecure right needs to respond to every one of his posts. Why don't you just ignore him?
