So I am doing a few repairs and upgrades and ran over to Best Buy to look at Micro-Hoods. As I walk to the isle I pass a Best Buy Employee desparately trying to escape some yahoo Obama supporter wearing his Obama Baseball cap. The clown was asking in a loud voice how much the clerk makes every hour and was touting the fact that he is retired now after making $45/hour and living on a fat pension. He was claiming Unions were great for the country. All this, by the way, on the same day that Stockton, California declared Bankruptcy making it the 3rd city in California to go belly up during the Obama Administration and the Largest City in American history (300,000 people) to declare bankruptcy.

So this poor clerk is desparate to help me and said 3 or 4 times to the clown, "I really have to get back to work. {turned to me} My I help you sir?" The yahoo kept asking how much he made. This tubby yutz couldn't take shut the **** up for an answer so I turned to him and in a very LOUD and POINTED TODDSTER SPECIAL VOICE told him to shut his commie bullshit pie hole and get the **** out of the store. Well, you can guess what happened next. He started on his Obama talking points and other clerks started to conglomerate around. There were 4 of them standing by. So the yutz again mentions his pension and I laid into him. I asked him were the money for his pension came from and proceeded to destroy him with the facts. Within minutes the Best Buy employees were all fist pumping the air and el retardo was stammering. I ended the education of another dumbshit by saying "Now if you'll excuse me, I have fat obnoxious retirees to feed with my taxes so this gentleman and I will now proceed to discuss the benefits of this Microhood". At that point three employees jumped in between us and "escorted" the asshat out the door.

btw, I went with the Whirlpool and got 50% off from the manager! Total cost with tax, $142 for a new micro hood

Yes, it is a good day!

You're amazing.

Right place at the right time with more gray matter than my opponent. But I can help but beam just a bit. It doesn't hurt that this yahoo was trying to make his point in a place with workers.

I thought this was just your internet persona.

No, Brennan, Todd is a conservative jackass everywhere. Did I actually say that? I meant Todd is a staunch defender of conservatism everywhere.

Is that the opposite of a liberal Republican?

THAT is funny right there, I don't care who ya are!

Good job Toddster !!!!!! More people need to mock these Obamaites loudly in public. Theres still a good chance the idiot will get another shot at destroying the US. Its getting closer, but hes still on top in most polls. Some woman started some demo babble at me the other day in a parking lot. I stopped just long enough to ask her how much better her life has gotten in last 3 years and walked away. I didnt hear her say anything else.

Ok, I didn't think that out to its ultimate conclusion, did I?

quote Originally posted by rogergarrison: Good job Toddster !!!!!! More people need to mock these Obamaites loudly in public.

Yep, this is it. The best idea I've heard all day.

So just so I get this clear, our new montra is... "If ya can't beat 'em, join 'em"? Because that sounds to me about what you're talking about.

Me? I like to let people make fools of themselves. I don't need to get involved for that to happen.

Can somebody explain something to me? If somebody EARNS more, then they PAY more in deductions, which should swell the Government Funds. If somebody earns LESS, the Funds will shrink. And they will have less money to support Comsumerism by buying less...which destroys jobs, which further shrinks the Funds. And when the workers don't have enough to survive on at even a BASIC level...then they start drawing money from the Funds in SS and foodstamps etc...further diminishing those Funds, and AHEAD of projected time.
Whilst the Baseball cap-attired guy probably WAS overpaid (I don't doubt it ), then just as catastrophic is when the baseball cap attired guy was paid too LITTLE...just as would happen if Uber Capitalists could have their way, IWHT.
I say, give baseball cap and all the other 'workers' ALL their money, and make them SAVE. And if they DON'T save...well then...tough sh!t...you starve when you are old. Get rid of the Government Funds, and put the money BACK in the pockets of those who earned it .

That doesn't buy votes or make government bigger.

I tip my hat to you, sir.

Todd, you should feel ashamed of yourself... that poor man probably went home feeling defeated.

Not to mention he had an obvious mental deficiency.

I can only imagine the amount of people Roger has converted to conservative by mocking them. I always listen best to instructions if I'm called an idiot first, really warms me up to whatever they're suggesting.

quote Originally posted by Xyster: Not to mention he had an obvious mental deficiency.

Now he's going to file for a handicap.

I'm calling bs. I have never in my life ran into someone like that. No even close. I say it's a made up story. Didn't happen.

quote Right place at the right time with more gray matter than my opponent.

That wasn't fair, especially since your opponent wasn't armed.

Two idiots people with opposing opinions meet at a store...

quote Originally posted by 82-T/A [At Work]: Todd, you should feel ashamed of yourself... that poor man probably went home feeling defeated.

Yep, I feel down right aweful. Think I'll drink my self loathing away...with a MARGARITA!!!

Oh, and the new Microhood looks great! Just finished the install.

That's often how it ends when you throw facts at their bullshit talking points.

So much for the "Smart Kids^TM"

It's too bad that there isn't some kind of compact device to record images and corresponding audio data. Oh **** , that's right, they are called cellphone cameras and everyone has one. This happened only in your mind.

What a letdown. I see WD finally responds to this thread, but not at all how I was hoping.

I even left it for you, thinking this thread was too easy.

Oh well, better late than never:
Hey Todd! You should have shot him!

Lol. I must be slipping.

Congrats Todd..

BTW common these days, dude was probably a straw buyer, sent there from ASCFME or similar union just to agitate.
BB is still a non-union shop so they like Target get idiots from unions all the time telling them how they'll make $40 an hour and have free full medical and dental if the just join the union.

BTW not a BB fan, my estimate for their demise is 2014

Not exactly. When wages go up, the cost of doing business goes up, and that cost is passed on to the consumer. The company compensates by reducing the workforce so that the overall cost levels off, so that prices don't become affected. Higher taxes also get figured into the cost of the product or service, as well. Reducing the workforce allows the company to stay competitive. Fewer workers at higher rates mean less revenue for the Federal and State coffers to pay out the extra unemployed workers. It also means higher rates of burnout for those employees who now have twice as much to do.

BTW, Todd, many of my customers don't like the Whirlpool/KitchenAid/Maytag/Amana micros because they are deeper than everyone else's, by about two inches. How do you find yours?

quote Originally posted by Toddster: Don't forget the four store "idiots" employees who kicked the Obama guy out and gave a 50% discount to the Patriot.

That's great for you!

I also would like to rephrase what I wrote: Two apparently obnoxious and impolite people meet at the store... (the politics of it are really of less importance IMO).

It's interesting when people are "a Legend in their own mind"!

Just to point out.... not all pensions are supported by tax dollars and that pensions were a benefit of employment... which was agreed upon by the employer and employee (and in the case of tax dollar supported ones.... the voters). It isn't like pensions just appeared out of nowhere and all of a sudden companies and organizations started paying them. A lot of the problems come from companies/organizations who mis-managed the pensions and left them underfunded.

It is easy to group people, but really, there are many facets of pensions and if done properly, it can work, but if mis-managed and underfunded it can fail.

I would love a pension... but the down side is that they can disappear just like any retirement plan.

As for the guy at BB, he was paid to be there (union) or he is just a typical nut job just out to raise a stink over nothing.

Plus, as we all kmow, Toddster has a very casual relationship with the truth.

I've got that same model of Whirlshit in my house. That handle will break off in about a year. Just sayin.

I had two break off my microwave (different model). I ended up putting on a nice stainless handle from a cabinet. Cheap plastic handles!

Oh come on . Toddster wound'nt lie about something like this when one could easily confirm if this was real or not buy calling this Best buy and confirm this with the manager who gave Toddster 50% off.

Not hard to believe at all, I see this stuff happen often. Loud bloviating idiot that for some reason thinks people are going to agree with him.

Nah, I shoot threats. As for the clown, better to "let him rave that men know him mad"
