*shakes head* SD? This isn't about publicity. I can see you're too stupid to realize that. I don't give two sh**ts whether or not anyone comments on my replies. I was using that facetiously. I'm not the one who just got thousands more Sandy Eggans to log on and check out this story. H.Jacobs did that all ber little lonesome. If you don't like what I have to say,don't f**king read it. It's that simple. I refuse to go away voluntarily because I may offend your morals and sensibilities. That's NOT how the real world works. The internet is like TV. When I flip through the channels,I find something that interests me. I don't go back to the channels with something I may not like on them. tikicult-LOVE the namesake websiter ;-D That's f**kin' hilarious. I actually thought you had created a URL for me until I clicked on it.— August 26, 2009 8:47 p.m.
John Moores sinks Padres pay to number 29 of 30 teams

What America is rapidly forgetting is that this country was built by tobacco. No tobacco,no country. The amount of history this country"forgets"is amazing to me. We've made it affordable to have all volumes of an encyclopedia at our fingertips but all people want to do all day is send Twits and make gay videos on YouTube. And for those offended by my use of the word gay,F*** OFF AND GET A LIFE!— August 26, 2009 4:15 p.m.

You have to think outside the box,Josh. I HATE censorship. It's a fact of life though. As long as man tries to get someone from saying something they don't agree with,man will eventually come along and figure out a way to get his point across. People who use The N word instead of the word itself are f***ing morons just feeding the flames of power to that word. It's a word. a combination of letters. Ni&&er(See how I got around the auto-censor?)is the same thing as the word house-A WORD. Nothing more. Nothing less. I refuse to give ANY words in our lexicon some sort of ritualistic power. It's a word. Ni&&er,g00k,spic,f@g,wop,cameljockey,polak,redskin. All letters typed on a screen. I see her point but I'm not buying it. A ni&&er is a bundle of sticks,a f@g is a cigarette and a retard is a person born without normal reasoning and intelligence. I was just on YT and saw ALOT stuff about flagging videos. Someone wrote: First they came for the Jews but I didn't care because I'm not Jewish. Then they came for the Southern Baptists but I didn't care because I'm not Southern nor a Baptist. Then they came for the Muslims but I didn't care because I'm not Muslim. Then they came for the Catholics but I didn't care because I'm not Catholic. Then they came for the Athiests but I didn't care because I'm not an Athiest. Then they came for me but nobody cared because they couldn't help me. They were already gone. This might be a little too deep for H.Jacob's peabrain. If The Reader decides that I'm in the wrong and bans me,what's there to stop me from getting a new computer with a new ISP and just creating a mirror account? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! And now you see the circle of stupidity when it comes to internet freespeech. I once had a woman tell me she was going to sue me for telling her to kill herself.....LMAO! There really needs to be a test to breed and get online....— August 26, 2009 3:57 p.m.

#1-Research on second-hand smoke is junk science at best. #2-Maybe if non-smokers wouldn't b**ch about smoke being outdoors so much,us smokers would take their feelings into consideration. Outdoor seating in a common area is an example. If I'm in a public outdoor area and having lunch,I'm lighting up my cigarette. I don't give two s***s who is around me. Non-smokers Nazi tacticts took smoking outside of restaurants. I'm fine with that. If I'm forced to eat outside because I can't smoke after my meal,I'll be damned if a non-smoker is going to ask me to put it out. Want clean air? EAT INSIDE! #3-Other than the previous example,I'm VERY conscientious to non-smokers when walking around outside. I'm REALLY pi$$ed about the new smoking ban in bars in Wisconsin. If I owned a bar,I would put up a sign saying that non-smokers WILL be ignored. It's time for America to start acting like a FREE goddamn country again.— August 26, 2009 2:51 p.m.

ROTFLMMFAO!!!!!!!!!! I just read the newly updated Letters from this week. Poor,old Mrs.H.Jacobs AKA missionmom. I must've REALLY riled her panties. She actually has no life. Maybe if she ditched the retard once in awhile,she'd see how much fun living is. She actually wrote a letter to be published in today/tomorrow's(depending on where you live of course)Reader criticizing the Reader for allowing me to use derogatory words...LMAO!!!!!!!! http://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2009/aug/26/le… I'm still smiling. I guess what they say is true. Bad publicity is better than no publicity.....— August 26, 2009 12:34 p.m.

I think H.Jacobs has been drinking the Obama kool-aid too long. Last time I checked,lady,this was STILL America. I'm sorry your kid is retarded. I'm sorry you're a bi**h. I'm proud to not be politically correct. The other day I was on YouTube just screwin' around and a video from The Kids In The Hall was recommended. It's pathetic to know that because of people like you,there will never likely be ground breaking comedy shows like TKITH and In Living Color. Being PC means you have no concept of history. Because you want the world to be sensitive to your plight,you're willing to legislate my rights to tell you to get f***ed away? I don't think so. I won't stand for it. The Reader can do what it wants. I don't really care. I've been banned from numerous websites for speaking the truth. Ban me,ban me,ban me but I'm NOT going away. I'm part of a revolution of independent thinkers that wants our country back.— August 26, 2009 12:27 p.m.
