Tough shit. You should have died and saved us all countless thousands of dollars.

It is fucktards like you who make health care expensive.

Better the old, the weak and the chronically infected (looking at AIDS folks here) go ahead and die sooner, rather than later.

Draining hard working folks money to extend your useless and worthless lives is a waste of money.

Bullshit.

I ain't bought a copy of XP since the fuckers screwed me out of the copy of ME I had (and yes, after about a year, I received a updated version of ME that never crashed and worked great).

Since they screwed me out of the software I bought, fuck them, I pirate their stuff now and lose not a moment of sleep over it.

The BS is that there is any "calling home". Every copy I have came with activation software or pre-cracked.

Your name says it all.

I calculate the cost incurred in my business and charge accordingly.

And my competitors do also, or they are not my competitors for long.

I run service on a daily basis across 6 counties, and will travel much further if needed.

I have my hourly rate and travel charges calculated to cover my expenses, with a bit of wiggle room (currently I price expenses at $4.25 a gallon for fuel). If it exceeds that price for more than a week or two, I will recalculate.

Jeez, you better never get a job requiring you to run service.

I have run service in my county and the surround six or so for years.

Only time I have to look at a map is if it is some way off the beaten trail or new road in a new neighborhood.

Heck, I can usually estimate travel time from point A to point B, taking in consideration of time of day, and time of year within a couple of minutes, as long as I don't think about it.

When I think about it I usually am wrong.

I got involved in a relationship with a bank teller right after I got divorced. She had been having difficulties with her husband and kicked him out.

Sort of awkward after she let him come home, but I continued to use her just because it made her more uncomfortable than it did me.

A person I know was convicted of child porn.

He was found to have quite a few photographs of naked children, both just nudes and of sexual activity.

The ages of the kids in the pictures were from 3 to 15.

It might be possible to mistake a 15 year old with an 18 year old, especially by just looking at a picture.

There is no way you can mistake a 3 year old for a consenting adult.

The law is binary, and that works out as a bad thing.

30 year old banging a 17 year old the day before her 18th birthday should not be the same thing as a 20 year old raping a 3 year old.

But in the eyes of the law, the crime is the same.

I also am offended by the sexual offenders list. If the SOB is so dangerous he needs to be on a list, his ass needs to be in prison.

I usually keep 5 or 15 points for modding.

And I mod according to what they say the guidelines are.

But then again, I cruise here on raw and uncut simply because I want to see it all, and many good posts are hidden if you use filtering.

Guess I need to become a karma whore.

Every Chinese restaurant I have done work in for the last 15 or so years has had big printed, '"We do not use MSG in our food" on their menus. And everyone of them had 50lb drums of MSG in the back.

And as a rule I don't eat at Chinese places because they are nasty usually, one place in my city of 100k people is clean enough for me to eat there.

I do most of the Chinese places because the other companies in town refuse to do their work because of issues of payment and translation.
