It's that he's dick toward illegal aliens. He actually enforces the law...
Agreed. The ones that get mad are the idiots that like their tax money paying for illegal aliens to get all sorts of benefits. I prefer to decide for myself who gets my charity money.
Fair enough. I just don't think much of the ACLU or Amnesty International, or even the polls, as they are always biased by the way questions are crafted: to elicit responses wanted by whoever is paying for said polls.
"Say, for example, you were self-proclaimed "America's Toughest Sheriff" and everybody-else-proclaimed "Kind Of A Dick" Joe Arpaio (sheriff for Maricopa County, Arizona)...
Who is "everybody else?" Not everyone thinks he's "kind of a dick." In fact, on the linked wikipedia page, where it mentions a recall effort, 75% opposed it, and his favorable rating was 65%.
And even if a lot of those people think he's a dick, he's mostly being a dick towards criminals.
If you live in AZ and don't want to end up in Tent City, it's simple: Obey the law! Don't commit a crime! It really is that easy, people.
As for the letter he sent to Craigslist.. ok, I disagree with the short-sightedness and the failure to realized that sites like Craigslist can, and do, help law enforcement solve crimes and get the "pooch-porkers" (and worse, because as disgusting as it is, there are worse criminals than the ones that want to fondle Fido) off the streets and into his prison.
Note to the the cell/tent-mates of the doggy diddlers: Do NOT dress up as McGruff the Crime Dog at the prison Halloween party this year.
Give me a break with the PC crap. Stop being so damn over-sensitive.
The "Washington Native Americans" just doesn't work.
As for " insider," we have that here on local radio in the morning. "Spurs Insider" is a quick 1-2 minute report on the previous days happenings with the team. Whether it's a game report or whatever goes on in practice. I din't think Peter Holt is trying to claim any kind of copyright infringement whenever they say " presents Spurs Insider."
The Redskins ownership needs to crawl back into their hole and just be quiet.
I hate The Twilight Saga. In fact, no one I know likes it.
I even saw one of the movies, not sure which one, but it was the worst movie ever. And yes, I mean ever. Even worse than Transylvania 6-5000 (because that at least had a hot vampire babe in it.)
Sorry, I want my paper $1's. When I do have cash on hand, I really don't want to be weighed down by $1 coins.
approx 1 gram for the linen/cotten $1 bill vs. approx 8.1 grams for the coins. 8x the weight. You do the math. Not only the weight, but the bulkiness of coins compared to the value carried is ridiculous.
Good thing I use my debit card more than I carry cash.
Well, you have your right to your opinion of Bush. I just disagree, because your assessment is most likely based on your liberal hatred of anyone that isn't liberal.
I cringe when I think we could have had Algore in there when we were attacked by terrorists, and knowing how Algore was as VP, we would have coddled the terrorists, and we all know through years of experience at trying to appease them where that's gotten us...
We rightly let Al go in search of ManBearPig by not electing him.
It's simply pointing to something, like if I were standing at the flea market pointing at the fake Gucci or Louis Vuitton purses. I'm doing absolutely nothing wrong, yet Turkey would kick me out of the flea market for talking about the aforementioned purses, leaving the vendor there. (possibly kicking them out later, but maybe not since they pay for the booth.. ie, Turkey receives payola.)
Repeat, and please try and let this seep into your brain: Talking about something and pointing to something (linking) is NOT infringement.
We bought a house in March 2010. We used an inspector that my brother recommended (which is a rare occurance.)
After talking to the guy before the inspection, he stated that all his reviews are posted on a site that he has zero control over, therefore he can't pick & choose what people say about his service.
We hired him to inspect the house and we found out that his 5/5 rating was well deserved. He also stated that if anything was NOT satisfactory, write about it in the review. He only wanted a chance to fix what was unsatisfactory.
I now recommend this guy to anyone I know that's buying a house.
Bottom line, these companies out there need to learn about true customer service. Unfortunately, there are people that run business's in the service industry that have no business being in business. The guy that runs that appliance store needs to learn, and learn fast, or he will be another data point on the chart of failed business ventures.
At sixteen months, are they really still "puppies"?
I know to the owners they probably are....
And, I do agree that it's no different than me, back in the early 80's when I was in HS, using my dual cassette deck to record directly from the radio. It's just newer technology allowing me to do the same.
