The only thing I have said to Jim McNamara which he truly understands is
"Fuck you too Asshole". It is wonderful to be finally understood fully. It
is all I will ever have to say to him and to similar idiots who do not know
how to read or how to think. It is a copy and paste which only takes me
about 10 seconds.

A bundle of SHIT (ie BULLSHIT) is more like it.

You know Tom, the guy is always putting you down for just having a
profession and working for a living as though that is for some twited
reason of disdain whereas being a lazy, worthless, parasite that
contributes absolutely nothing to society *yeah I'm referring to you
Ed)t is somehow an honorable endeavor, though only from Dolan's warped
perspective of course,. Go figure. I suspect that the only thing
that Dolan has worked at his entire life, with any concerted effort,
is the honing of his his skill as the quintessential, obnoxious,
asshole of cyberspace. What a claim to fame ... NOT!!!

Proving once again that you are as perceptive as the average tree
stump. Just one service that I provide to the undeserving Mr.
Dolan . Do come back for ore Ed.

I doubt the even your therapist understands you fully.

So reading and thinking are you're strong suit? Thanks. I needed a
good laugh today. Your middle initial must be "H" (thin hubris). One
of you major malfunctions is how you approach people. You basically
engage people with an, "I'll tell you what you want (an need) to hear"
demeanor and that doesn't fly, but what can one really expect from a
misanthropic, troglodyte, faggot anyways. You really are a one hell
of a real piece of work. You are completely and utterly fucked up ...

One question is if there's a god, another if he's Christian. C'mon, he
can be Muslim or worship the Moon...

Worshiping the Moon can be reasonable and I do try to come out every
full moon. I think that's a little Pagan because people come out to
the beach with drums and dance. They also smoke a lot of pot (you can
feel it in the air), which makes for an atmosphere of freedom. Some
couples go into the water and God knows what happens there.

It would be cool if God were Pagan.

I don't know that religion has a "fashion", but to many the statement
as written in the Rede is the ultimate statement of responsibility,
not of anarchy. The first clause is "An it harm none" which is much
like the Judeo-Christian "Thou shalt not kill", easy to say but
impossible to actually do. What the Wiccan practitioner does is to
strive to minimize the damage he or she does in life while still
living that life. "Harm none" extends to the self and everything you
touch, but everything does something harm, the idea is to harm as few
as possible while helping as many as possible.

For instance, using computers. On the one hand using a computer
requires electricity, which in the US is mostly from burning fossil
fuels. On the other hand by using computers we can be our own mass
media, communicating with millions while not using a single sheet of
paper, thereby saving forests. So you have the tradeoff of a little
air pollution vs. not killing thousands of trees.

There is also the matter of eating meat. We have evolved so that a
portion of our diet can be meat, and that ratio can be anywhere from
0/100 to 100/0 meat to vegetable matter. On the one hand you have to
kill an animal to eat meat, on the other hand, to quote Binkley from
Bloom County, "Boiled carrots never have a nice day."

Even in our transportation we have a choice of harms, between time
consumed to pollution created. My personal choice is usually walking
or riding my bike but there are times when I use public transit or
ride in a car if there's no other way. And sometimes there is just no
other way.

You may say some religions are "fashionable" when they allow you to
"camouflage" into the system, while the opposite is when they get you
in trouble.

Being a Christian, for example, opens doors for you in the West, but
gets you in trouble in Egypt.

My local forum kindly provided me this article that shows why cyclists
are mad at you --if you are one those who dismiss cyclists as nothing
more than a monkey. Well, now that the monkeys are getting together,
you may have to think about it twice before... Hey, I don't to
politicize this article! Please read on...

(I changed the title)

Why Your Neighborhood Cyclist Hates You

Sure, you've laughed at cyclists' bulge-hugging Spandex shorts, rolled
your eyes when they use the street inches from the sidewalk, and if
you're a certain Latin pop star, you've even gotten drunk, hit them,
and then driven off with their bike still lodged in your front fender
while they lie bleeding on the side of the road. Asshole.

Ah, and let's not forget ladies, the bigger the truck the more
adorable you look. Even when you're texting, which has become such a
pain now that cyclists are sharing the road. What a nuisance. Well,
the feeling's mutual...kinda. The local cyclist we spoke to organizes
group rides to celebrate bicycles, encourage cycling, and to remind
drivers that they must share the road. Although this sounds about as
sweet as puppies and rainbows, there's still a few things that drivers
(and even cyclists) do that really jam up his gears:

1. Passing too closely
Hey buddy, there's a reason why there's a state law that every vehicle
must leave three feet of space between their car and a passing
cyclist. Would you want to inhale a lung-full of exhaust while an
8,000-pound machine whizzes two inches away from your vulnerable flesh
so they can get home in time to indulge in a Full House marathon and
binge on Sun Chips? We think not.

2. The right hook
This is when you speed up to pass a cyclist and then make an abrupt
right turn in their path. You usually underestimate your speed, which
means the cyclists has to stop abruptly so that don't crash into you.
For those who haven't experienced it firsthand, peacefully riding a
bike and then, all of a sudden, having your bike fly up and over your
head is more terrifying than thrilling.

3. Honking
Uh, yeah, driver, we kind of already know that you're there. You're
hard to miss. You're in a giant sedan. So, there's really no need to
honk. Unless you have one of those custom musical horns, it just makes
you look angry and obnoxious.

4. The door prize
Kudos on your awesome parallel parking skills and all but please, oh
please don't open your door without checking the bike lane first.
Otherwise, there'll be flesh crashing into metal and asphalt when the
cyclist flies off their bike and lands in traffic.

5. Cyclists who ride against traffic in the bike lane
For one, it's against the law, and creates a dilemma for fellow riders
who are obeying the rules. It's not fun to problem solve under three
seconds. Besides, if the unfortunate happens, and you do get hit by a
car on the wrong side, it's your fault. Don't ruin it for the rest of
us.

http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/cultist/2010/09/why_your_neighborhood_cyclist.php

***

By the way I hate cyclists who ride on sidewalks (rather fast) and
don't want to join the revolution.

6. Cyclists who don't yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, like the
moron who nearly ran into me yesterday as I was crossing the street.

7. Cyclists who think red lights don't pertain to them.

I totally agree with #6, but #7 are OK if they don't threaten
pedestrians. Mostly they are mowed down by cars.

And they have a License to Kill.

Now they can go ahead and kill me. ;)

People who can't tell among these three types of cyclists, shouldn't
be driving:

1- Lycra type = long distance reckless cyclists,

2- Single speed type = short distance reckless cyclists,

3- Utility type = using panniers for errands, not be confused with the
Huffy type (survivors) riding on sidewalks.

Type 1 and 2 accept the risk, but type 3 is slower and wants his
distance.

K, cyclist, I'll tell you why I hate you---

You don't merge with traffic
You don't give the right of way, but always expect it for yourself--your
not a sailboat-your self-powered!
You don't ever stay in your own lane
And when out riding your bike to save the enviorment, you act as if you
don't have a gasoline powered car at home--so much better than the rest
of us.

One last thing, and this is a cheap shot......your workout clothes SUCK!

I propose some practice of some of Philadelphia's law enforcement
officers:

Don't bitch out cyclists for running red lights if the cyclists first
yield to, stopping if necessary, to everyone who has a green light or
walk signal, both vehicle and pedestrian.

And go by the "Golden Rule" - do unto others as you would have them do
unto you. Especially as considered by someone who is a bigtime cyclist,
but is also often a pedestrian and further also owns a car and drives it
about 40% as much as driving his motorless 2-wheel street-legal vehicle
that has 2 pedals for propulsion from carb-burning fat-burning power.

Which means, don't get in the way of those with green light or walk
signal, don't force stopping/slowdown/evasive-action by those with
green light or walk signal, and don't startle those taking right-of-way
that you have to yield by yielding merely by inches to a couple feet or
half a second or less.

Excellent idea! I found out that my bank will count a not-huge amount
of change into their little machine and not charge me for it.
Apparently other banks assess some sort of fee. Tsk tsk.
