Your Money Is No Good Here: How Our Upside Down Flag Caused Local Business Owner to Turn Us Away!

I would have just said to the dealer, " So your business is doing alright then so that you can turn away business? and left it at that.

If you cant see that this country is in the trouble.....Take your head out of the stargate and look around. It's more than obvious. Blame is to be laid on both parties DEMS & REPS. Us common folks are the ones that suffer. It;s time for that to change.

edit on 25-10-2013 by openyourmind1262 because: (no reason given)

When people opt to not provide any facts for the statement of "it's obvious"....that usually means it really isn't obvious at all and they just don't have the facts to back up their misinformed beliefs.

I already covered my reasoning about Obama here in this post.

I'm not going to continue repeating myself because you were too lazy to read the thread.

Sorry, just read first post and reacted, should know better.

So, you don't care about other civilian casualties in drone attack, but one of them being American citizen is big deal? And somehow you managed in the same answer to call Obama hypocrite, worst sort of hypocrite to be precise?

How good guns are, we see from every day someone being killed, lately are teachers (2 teachers in 2 days) and you don't see that as problem?!

And of course, ACA is biggest problem....

To me is just clear ignorance to think that more guns mean safer USA, just as not having affordable care for everyone will result in better care. (for those with money i guess)

Please tell me, if you went to that person you mentioned in first post and saw all pro-Obama posters and pro abortion posters or sings to control and get rid of guns because they are what KILLS people, would you do business with him? Please be honest.

The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

And what exactly is your DIRE DISTRESS or EXTREME DANGER to your life or property????


Honestly, people can't be this completely ignorant, can they?

I'm going to go fly my flag upside down because it appears I live in a country of morons and that does seem a bit dangerous to me.

You're going to add a swastika to it as well, right? You might as well. You advocate shutting down other peoples opinions and free speech because you think that they are "Crazy" aren't you?

You seem to hate anybody who isn't in step with you're line of thought. Mankind has been down that road you seem to advocate many times. It never turns out for the better.

Yep, those "Crazy" people should be minimized. Hitler thought so too.

Yes, ask that to the frog stuck in a pot of boiling water. At what point is he in distress? Was it when the water was tepid and he did not see the danger of the fire under it? Was it when he started to sweat? Or was it when he was helpless to get out?

YES.

I wish I could star you more than once for that analogy.

hmmmmmmmm

Crazy peoples money is just as good as the next guys...isn't it? I suppose you also support the right of the businesses not to do business with homosexuals, people of a different color

Crazy people's money actually isn't just as good...it comes with a host of potential problems down the road. Like I sell a crazy person a car and 3 months later the alternator goes out, and that crazy person gets it in their head that I did it on purpose and comes back for revenge. There are some people you don't want to do business with...and when they are openly waving their crazy flag...it's an easy call.

You can't discriminate on race, that is a protected class, as is sex and religion. Homosexuals aren't, as of this point, so depending on the business, I could see valid points being made not to do business with them. A Christian or Catholic business would have a rather convincing argument not to participate in a homosexual marriage as they would see it as participating in their sin.

But crazy is crazy...and most of the times crazy equal dangerous...and I don't do business with dangerous people.

Can you please explain why Obama should be impeached?

Is it because you think drone attacks are like war crimes? Or is it because he did not push republicans harder to avoid government shut down?

I already covered my reasoning about Obama here in this post.

I'm not going to continue repeating myself because you were too lazy to read the thread.

Those are not impeachable offenses.

The American was a declared enemy combatant...if you are declaring yourself to be an enemy of the government and actively fighting against them...don't complain when you die because of it. The traitor was the American that turned against us and to fight along side those killing our soldiers.

Obama has never tried to take away your guns, just give it a break. He brought up sensible gun control...talking about gun control is not an impeachable offense.

The ACA was debated for over a year and passed by both houses of congress and legally signed into law. The SCOTUS reviewed it and declared it Constitutional. For you, or anyone, to continue to call it unconstitutional just shows a complete denial of facts and reality.


A call for an impeachment is a serious statement, and you have failed to back up that statement with anything factual or logical.

And you wonder why some people may not want to deal with you?

Crazy? Or this?

Crazy peoples money is just as good as the next guys...isn't it? I suppose you also support the right of the businesses not to do business with homosexuals, people of a different color...because you know...they might be "Crazy" too? And while you're at it, you might as well call the authorities to boot. Got to get those "Crazy" people off the street, eh? Have you picked up your brown shirt from the dry cleaners and has that boy down the street shined your boots yet?

As much as I like to agree to this, there is things that morality does not allows me. For example, products made by kids in 3rd world countries. I try as much as possible to avoid those products. No, I don't hate them, I just don't like someone being exploited for my money.

As consumers you are given option to select where and how and with whom you will spend money. So your answer short, without any thinking I would spend money to do business with homosexuals, people of different color etc. and as matter of fact, I do. But if I dislike store because their policy (for example because they don't like to provide complete care to their employees based on their religious believes - I decided to avoid store like that and sometimes rather drive 20 more minutes... but that is just me...

Yes, I think it's interesting that when American children die every year from guns, the gun lovers say "well, that's just the price of freedom." Yet someone dies from a drone in a war-torn country - and the response is "Oh my God, we must get rid of all drones and impeach Obama!" For the record, I'm not a fan of guns OR drones, but at least I'm consistent.

I didn't say it only matters if it was an American citizen. Go read it again. I do not think anyone should be killed with a drone, especially not innocent children that are in the wrong place at the wrong time. That is where hypocrisy came in... when Obama berated and guilt tripped the American people over lives lost at Sandy Hook.



If guns are so horrible.... why do we call people with guns to help us when there is an emergency?

Do you think that ONLY LEOs should have them?

Would I do business with the guy? I wouldn't make assumptions and write someone off based on my assumption of their political stance, so if he had a service or product I was interested in, yes, I would do business with him, especially since he owns a local business. I like keeping it local when possible because I believe in supporting small businesses in my area.

The American was a declared enemy combatant.

By whom? Where was his trial? Where was innocent until proven guilty? Due process?

What about his 16 year old who was also killed? Do we execute the children of murderers?

Well, first of all, I'm a she, not a he. Secondly, it was an awesome pic. Thirdly, I would never run for president. Fourthly, nobody would get screwed by me unless it was by mutual consent. I'm neither a pimp nor a rapist.

What really gets my goat here considering the OP's experience is that a agreement was made and then the butthole decided that he could renege on the agreement. All because he disapproved of what Daryllyn's husband did.

To me, that's not only crazy, but totally asinine. The man has no honor, morals, standards or ethics. He is the epitome of the "Slick Used Car Salesman."

I'm more worried that this shutting down and refusing to think or accept facts by so many.. will do us in

Do you mean like people who are calling for Impeachment when there has been no impeachable crime committed?

Or would you care to share what impeachable offense Obama has committed???


People in glass houses...you know...

The very second that he authorized execution by drones of American citizens, and carried it out, making himself the judge, jury AND executioner, he became, in my opinion.... impeachable.

edit on 25-10-2013 by daryllyn because: (no reason given)

The very second Anwar al Awlaki declared his allegiance to Al Qeada and plotted to kill other Americans, he became a traitor and the enemy, at that point it is my opinion that he lost any Constitutional protection.

Obama, and any President, is required to protect the United States above all else...that includes killing those that are trying to kill us.

You should look around and see who agrees with you to see how your beliefs match up...you will find Palin and Bachmann...are you comfortable with that?

You know, one of the things that solidify my beliefs the most is to see the people who disagree with my opinions the most. The people I see who disagree with me...well...let's just say I am extremely happy that I don't share their opinion.

I say, we see the signs, we know history and this will not end will unless we stop it, and therefore it's time to put up the distress signals now more than ever!

Oh look, more vagueness instead of facts.

Care to provide any facts at all that shows we are in distress???

Well then, you're screwed...because I'm writing you in.

Maybe that's what we need. Put somebody in that really doesn't want the job in the first place.

What are your orders Madam President?

No, I actually encourage them to scream as loudly and as crazily as they can...that way I know exactly which people to avoid.

Opinions are fine, as long as you understand that stating your crazy opinions will have consequences...like people realizing that you are crazy and no longer want to associate with you.

You seem to hate anybody who isn't in step with you're line of thought. Mankind has been down that road you seem to advocate many times. It never turns out for the better.

I don't hate anybody, I just realize that the majority of people are stupid.

Yep, those "Crazy" people should be minimized. Hitler thought so too.

Hitler was the Crazy person...the problem was that the other crazy people didn't listen to those people who were saying "This man is crazy...he is obviously crazy...please don't encourage him".

So, I think I feel safe on which side I'm on...I'm calling out the crazy...not condoning and encouraging it.
