“Boy, you really are the bitter little Windows lapdog aren't you Gover? But you are a "real American" that's for sure. Always caring about price and nothing more. Is your time not worth any money? Because I know mine is, and when I sit down to get work done on my computer I don't really like sweating out whether or not the thing will even work. The amount of time I've wasted in my life trying to get a piece of junk Windows machine to do what I want it to definitely costs more than the amount I paid for my Mac.”

“Kudos to that.”

“Why must you type nonsense without actually answering her question?”

“Yes, and he had all the tools in the world to call them on this and show the American public how foolish and ignorant those Republicans are. Again he didn't. He didn't fight them one bit. I now think D.C. is just a cancer on this nation. People move into that bubble and it poisons their soul.”

“Me too.”

“He also said he was against mandates. What's you're argument for that one mancoff? Face it, he lied, lied, lied about plenty of things during the campaign. And instead of taking the reigns and making decisions FDR style, he's decided to lead like Jimmy Carter. Good job there, Mr. President. I guess we'll have to deal with 8 more years of crappy Republicans starting in 2010 now that this guy stabbed his supporters in the back.”

“wow, are you really stupid.”

“Look at the different classes of cars though. Sure, their trucks are top notch, but I have a 2002 Ford Focus and the thing has been crap for 6 years now. I don't even drive it anymore unless it's an absolute emergency because I never know what else is going to fall off. Just the other day I was sweeping snow off it and a piece around the rear lock came off with the snow. My wife had a 2000 Honda Civic with twice the miles and the thing purred like a kitten until she was rear-ended by a jeep and it suffered a premature death in 2007. Our new Honda Civic has never needed anything more than tires and oil changes. I would have gotten a new car years ago but the crappy economy forced me to go back to school and now I take public transportation for fear of breaking down and not being able to afford to fix something on that Ford junk.”

“I still can't figure out how this bill is even remotely called healthcare reform. Mandating insurance without price controls? It seems to me that is just robbery, nothing more. These very same mandates are the reason I didn't vote for Hillary. Had I known this, I just wouldn't have voted at all. I'm officially giving up on both major parties in this country. I just can't see any substantial difference anymore. Every time the Republicans move further right the Democrats follow right along. I've never felt more hoodwinked than I am over the past year of the Presidency. I truly believed we were getting a JFK/FDR type leader and instead we got a center right version of Jimmy Carter. That's just f-ing great. I'm just thankful I decided to go to law school. Since it's even more of an "every-man-for-himself" fight for survival in this country that degree should help keep me afloat while the majority of the masses drown.”

“Nope. Just average people who accept the culture as it is and live along with it, not try and force their ancient hocus pocus on everybody who's not like "them."”

“Would you prefer "delusional" or "lunatic"? Because that's what you are when you believe in imaginary space people controlling your life. Anybody who lives their lives based on writings that are thousands of years old truly needs to have their head examined.”

“Yes, because losing one sponsor is really a big deal. Give me a break. Most of you people are treating this as if he was a serial killer or something. He lost his accenture deal, that's it. And that was more because the whole advertising package was built around his playing. If he's taking time off, what's the point of that advertising? Gatorade already was ending their deal before all this happened.

The problem with all of this is Tiger's PR people. They've forced an image that was never really him. He's the guy who drops F bombs on the course, throws clubs when he's ticked, and sometimes tells un-PC jokes. In other words, he's a regular guy. If he would just come out as that person he'd probably have more fans than ever before.”

“Oh how I wish I knew where you lived. You could really use a "Burlusconi" right about now.”

“Why can't somebody do a "Burlusconi" on this guy already? He should get popped in the mouth while walking through the Capital one of the days he can't drive because of the "sabbath."”

“The problem is, they wholeheartedly added to the problem with Obama's obsession with the fiction of "bipartisanship." THAT's what doomed them from the start. The trouble the White House is in right now if solely of their own making. They could have rammed through anything they wanted, and when the Republicans tried to oppose it they could have used the bully pulpit to turn the American People against the stall tactics. Instead Obama went ahead with policies he campaigned against, and put people in charge who could give 2 $hits about the American people.

At this point, I'm not even voting next year past the primary, since I'm in PA and we most likely won't even have a Democratic nominee for Senate. There's never a real race for Congress either. I'm just going to stick to local elections from now own. The country as a whole can continue to go to hell for all I care. I'm through. I've been of voting age for 14 years and not once has there been a politician to represent me. So I'll just accept that fact and move one with disgust for this pathetic excuse of a nation.”

“I'm glad I'm not the only one. I especially like the over dramatic voice at the end, "you're going to jail." hilarious.”

“no, I'd use a 5-iron thank you very much. Guns are for p*ssies. Real men use blunt force trauma to win a fight.”

“I don't know what kind of fantasy country you live in but the America I know, this is not nearly the case with most people. In the America I know, if you fail, it's likely plenty of your fellow citizens come by just to put a boot on your throat.”

“"and Ambien, Zoloft, Prozac, and all the Ritalin you can force down your little brat's throat."”

“When you buy music you buy a license to use the material on the disc, not the disc itself. It's the same reason why it's legal for you to burn as many copies of that disc as you want for your own personal use.”

“Well, maybe if the record companies didn't gouge their customers with a 4,000% markup on a crappy product, people wouldn't feel the need to steal the music. Besides, I'm calling bulls**t on your whole argument. Everybody knows that the labels get their discs pressed in China or another asian country. Blame the labels for closing your factory in favor of cheaper labor. Piracy and plant closures do not go hand in hand.”

“Nope. Dismissal of her action is required. You're all blaming the wrong party!!!

It's not like cell phones were developed for the sole purpose of talking in your car. They were developed so that you could talk to people everywhere. And you know what they were also developed to replace? the CAR PHONE!!!! why can't you people just blame the individual?

These companies didn't put a gun to the drivers' heads and say, "answer the phone. NOW!" I rarely even look at my phone in the car when it rings. But I'd sure as hell be ticked off if I couldn't pull over and use the phone. I just did it the other day. My wife asked me to get a phone number from an apartment building nearby. I drove by and got the number, pulled into a space just past the building, and texted her the number. And I should be allowed to do so.

You're just asking for a technological and legal nightmare if you're asking for something to be installed in cars to render the phones inoperable.”

“Then by your reasoning the defendants in this case should be car companies and not the cell phone manufacturers. It just shows how convoluted and poorly thought out this whole issue is. You wanna sue somebody? Sue the driver who was the perpetrator in this action. By all means that person or his estate should be bled dry.

But in American society, it's all about blaming everybody else. Everybody just needs to take a step back and exercise some personal responsibility in their lives. I bet even this woman has answered her cell phone in a car.”

“Yes, because god forbid someone finds this lawsuit ridiculous from a "personal responsibility" standpoint. Is cell phone use distracting and a problem? Absolutely, but it's the responsibility of the legislature and the individual drivers, not the cell phone companies. What are they supposed to do, invent a phone that somehow turns itself off when it enters a car? What about passengers? It's clearly an attempt to get money on this woman's part, nothing more.

You know what else is distracting in a car? Food. It's definitely distracting enough to cause accidents. Are you going to sue every restaurant that has a drive through window?

You know what else is distracting in a car? Music. I can guarantee there have been more than a few accidents caused by the distraction of messing with the radio. Are you going to sue the car companies and the electronics companies who make the car stereos?

It's crap like this lawsuit that just gives fuel to the ridiculous cackling on the right about "tort reform." Now, anyone with half a brain knows what the right wants is to limit ANY payout by rich people for their own misdeeds, no matter how outrageous their negligence might be. But when they get to use lawsuits like this as their "proof," it works to help convince their knuckle dragging wal-mart followers that the cause is "just."”

“me too!”
