Dammit. I lost everything I wrote. Ah, f*** it. Refried? Only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Recess is OVA till tomorrow. I gotta be up by 9 for football.— November 22, 2009 1:22 a.m.

So you'd rather turn your head from a lynching ala Hollywood? Ok. Fair enough. Not the answer I expected. I'll let this conversation die for now but remember this refried, you're more human than human, if you understand that. Rob Zombie was merely singing about something known to man since the beginning of time. Humans are weaklings.— November 22, 2009 12:48 a.m.

Jewlery Heists and Transporting Valuables
One of the cool things about workin' at Slaveway was the Pizza Slut two doors down. Almost every night after work, I'd go out the backdoor, walked to the backdoor of Pizza Slut, enter in the driver's code, open the door and yell, "BEER RUN!!" Whether you were underage or not, that was your 30-second cue to pony up some money for beer. One night for Thanksgiving we decided to hold a beer bust in the back of Pizza Slut. I bought MASSIVE amounts of beer from the CVS and we proceeded to get hammered. Pizza Slut was closed and it was about midnight when I ran out of beer. I had another 12-pack in the cooler. When I opened the door, my friend was bangin' his GF in the walk-in. Without missin' a beat, I said, "No no. Don't let me stop you. I need more beer and that dough needs to rise." As I turned and shut the door, I heard his GF start to laugh. I almost wanted to quit my job and get hired at Pizza Slut. They were a hell of lot more fun than the lamos I worked with.— November 22, 2009 12:32 a.m.

I believe I would. It would depend on what the lynching is for though. I value life but it's a different value than what we're taught. Like said, I feel that at the end of my life, I wouldn't be judged for witnessing an act that took someone's life. I've spoken with plenty of people that say that they wouldn't be able to watch someone executed. Not to get into the whole death penalty debate, I think I could sit there and watch someone die. I don't know if you've ever seen someone die, refried. I have. It's not pretty but it's certainly not the ugly thing we're brainwashed to believe. Life IS death. Death IS life. You cannot fully appreciate one or the other without fully appreciating them both. Ever watch Faces of Death? Or this guy? Budd Dwyer Suicide Video-WATCH AT YOUR OWN DISTRECTION! http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=860c9b9f3b Remember this refried, we're BRAINWASHED as human globs of Play-do to do the right thing. The right thing sometimes isn't the right thing. I'm a strong believer in fate. F*** with fate and it WILL f*** with you back. Humans haven't learned this yet. But in time, they will. If you want to view me as an evil human being for allowing the execution of someone, by all means go for it. Judge not, lest ye be judged... This isn't a simple black & white issue either. No pun intended.— November 22, 2009 12:17 a.m.

I would never murder someone, SD. No matter how strongly I felt towards them. Would I watch someone else do it? You betcha. The law and society may see me as being just as culpable as the person doing the lynching but we're both smart enough to know that that's a load of horses***. I will be judged when expire not for what I witness but for what I do. And I don't hate blacks.— November 21, 2009 11:54 p.m.

Awwwwww. Thanks SD. Contrary to popular belief, I don't hate anyone on here. I may say outrageous things and mean them but there's enough hate in the world already to bring it here. Love me or hate me, I'm a very outspoken individual. I thank MY God for that everytime I wake up. First they came for the communists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a communist. Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak out for me.

Ok. Point taken. Would you agree that the majority of marriages are either church, GF, or society influenced? I don't think I'll get "married". I'm not really for the term "common law married" either. I think that's society's way of having their cake and eating it too. Without judging solely on this issue, I have to wonder about a man who thinks to himself,"Maybe being married will make myself or this person a better human". No offense implied, gringo. I know the old joke is that men are hunter/gatherers but I don't think that's too far off the mark. About six months ago, I helped my GF's husband move his father from one part of town to the other. The guy is 91 years old. He needed an apartment that offered a walk-in shower. We tried to talk him out of it but he wouldn't listen. We're about to move across the street from him. Last night, he told his son that he was moving back to his old apartment complex. The reason? He wants to flirt with the old ladies again. Bless his horny heart and I'm pissed because I HATE moving people as it is AND he's willing to pony up $900 to break his lease but ultimately you can't fault the guy. I told his son to tell him that if he had $900 to blow so he could flirt, he could pony up some dinero to pay for a mover. And to make matters worse, his"GF"just moved in next door to him and now she wants to move as well. I KNOW I'm going to moving 3 different people in the next 2 months. Actually 7 if you count how many heads live in 3 housholds.— November 21, 2009 11:01 p.m.
