Are you out of your fucking mind? You think you can get one extra red cent out of Scottish people? Ha! My parents are in the paper because some bureaucrats think they can bleed them for some extra cash. This is exactly why I have no faith in the government. They can’t even read. The name is “McInnes.” To think you’re going to get money from a Scot is beyond naïveté. Ever heard of Scrooge McDuck for fuckssakes?
This little fuck-up is a microcosm of everything the government does. These are the people you want to let Obama give 7 trillion dollars to?
1- They sporadically deal with this piece of gov’t land.
2- They say, “You must maintain this property even though it’s on the municipally-owned portion of the street.”
3- A guy drives his tractor in from 20 miles away (you paid for this) and says he’ll do it on the city’s behalf, but just this one last time!
4- City workers show up again and begin landscaping. Huh? I thought that tractor guy was the last time.
5- Local councilor says the city should maintain it and admits my dad is getting “different messages from different departments.”
How’s this for a rule? If you are stupid enough to think Scrooge McDuck will mow your lawn, you cannot have 7 trillion dollars. Big Business may be cruel occasionally, but at least it wants to satisfy its customers. I’ll take this lesser evil over Big Government any day of the week.

big business just wants your money. if you’re happy, and that’s an artifact of their branding, then kickass. if not, whatever. get yourself a tech support job one time before you get to deep into the benevolence of big business.

These odes to big business make your whole “I didn’t get fired, I quit because Viacom sucks!” story that much more ridiculous.

Seriously though, what do I give a fuck about your parents? This site is at one time the worst and best thing on the internet, I don’t know how you manage to write such well informed, witty, intelligent articles, and then the stupidest shit I have ever encountered as well.

Was this written by an angry teeneager? Youre from Canada, eh? You have govt social programs, eh? Some of us are Americans and actually want our country to be a civil decent country where we do the right thing instead of being greedy assholes.

I love how every time us libertarians say the government is incompetent we instantly love every big corporation out there. This kind of thinking is the whole reason I had to leave ABC News. As you know, I started out as a consumer advocate making FUN of corporations that screw people over. I still do that on a daily basis.

All y’all faggots don’t get it. It’s not about rich versus poor. It’s about government versus the people. The more power you give to them, the more they can take from you. A nigga won’t even be able to smoke in central park anymore.

“For close to a month, he’s had to put up with an itchy and bloody rash on most of his body. He’s feeling better now, but he’s clearly been unnerved by the painful ordeal. Loraine says she picked up the rash, though not as bad, after being infected by her husband.
‘The sores, the blisters — it makes you demented,’ says Loraine. ‘All I heard at night was Jim scratching — rasp, rasp, rasp.’
Bullshit. Seems to me that your father banged a hooker, got herpes, and has concocted some massive scheme to throw everyone off his trail. Nice try.
