Secrets of the City

LOL

I blame my “Scott Goldberg is short” comment, which I posted 10,000 times on his KARE 11 blog.

Say it ain’t so internets! Perhaps I’ll have to retract my earlier statement of love in another thread. Sad. So sad…

FTA:
Local crime stories triggered a number of comments that violated the company’s terms of use, Tacy says, so the Star Tribune no longer allows comments on those stories.

Way to go idiot racist twats like bud jr. and his ilk!
OMG WHAT COLOUR WAS IT!?

you fucking tools.

In reading almost any websites comments I’m not fairly certain that the prevalence of mental illness is way more wide spread than previously thought.

I read about this new technology that will allow anyone to nearly pinpoint where someone is accessing the Internet by the MAC address. I think people are going to be more reticent to post scathing blathering if people know what block they live on.

Another fast breaking newstory from a local “news” station. In this case they are only – what 20 years behind what any typical net user already knew?

(ah … fidonet and usenet … how i miss thee….)

What cracks me up is the constant complaining among the wingnuts that “the media” is too liberal … and yet it’s the wingnuts who dominate/monopolize many of the comments pages, especially on the newspaper sites. They also always appear to be the first to complain about “liberal name-calling” by … calling liberals names.

Try to correct their ignorance (e.g. Obama being Muslim) and the first thing they do is call you a “libertard” or “Democrap.” Sorry, but I like taking the high road any chance I get.

Other comments were too offensive to repeat.

I say this about mnspeak all the time.

Has anyone ever watched the afternoon show they have? It’s like a trainwreck it’s so bad. They have someone monitoring chat rooms and then discuss what people watching the show are chatting about. Ten bucks says 90 percent of those people are using AOL.

I don’t know. When you have people willing to be identified on MPR saying things like this(HT Erica):

For those who don’t think race will be a factor in this year’s election – you only need to listen to George Ziegler, a semi-retired barber from Anoka.

“I wouldn’t vote for that n—-r,” he said. “I wouldn’t vote for him. No way in heaven’s name would I give him a chance to take my vote and go in there. I’m smarter than that.”

(Note: Please don’t publish people’s names and home numbers on MnSpeak, Dougie — if you want to link to it, that’s fine)

Feel free to stop by with your black friend and say hello!

George confirms my belief that Anoka is a little slice of Appalachia right in our backyard.

I have a a creeping fear that I have been going to George’s barber shop for some time. I recently decided not to return because his conversations were getting so crazy…

Hopefully lots of people stop going to the barber shop.

I never learned the guy’s name, but he has been creeping me out for a while.

If you are going to put your name out there and call people N******, you deserve to be exposed and possibly driven from your home directly across from a beautiful golf course.

If we don’t hold people accountable who will.

Well if you want his address it’s listed in dexonline.

Unless that another guy with the same name, Doug. Besides, this is max’s forum, so he can make the rules. I agree with Max on this one. It’s bad form and potentially dangerous, no matter how big of a douchebag the person in question is.

How would you feel if someone burnt the guy’s house down? Or threatened his family?

He put his name on that statement and approved that it could be broadcast, if anything happened to someone with a similar name it would be entirely his fault. I believe that someone should confirm this is the guy and follow him around broadcasting that quote to everyone he meets.

I believe that someone should confirm this is the guy and follow him around broadcasting that quote to everyone he meets.

Maybe you should have confirmed it before posting the address?

I agree with max and bob on this too. Bad form.

He was the only one in the metro area. Hate Breeders like this have no place in modern society. I know if anyone had the same name as me I would have searched this person out to make sure they weren’t a complete asshole.

I seriously can’t wait for the vast majority of baby boomers to die.

Well, that settles it. We are not leaving any of our money to you young whipersnapers.

Bob, it’s too late there won’t be any money left. I for one am not planning on getting any social security when I retire. If there is anything left it will be a bonus. I believe at this rate I won’t be able to retire until 2037 anyhow.
