Do you understand?

I'm not even going to read this one. Ed, I'm trying. Don't be an ass.

Let me guess, you started a bunch of "progressive" sounding threads in order to prime the pump for this Neanderthal one? I'm going to guess this one is the real Ed. It has so much more passion.

Both of these men "qualify" for free wi-fi, given that they can go to the Chicago Public Library (any branch) and partake of it. For that matter lots of fast food restaurants and coffee shops offer it too.

If George tried harder, he could find a cheaper phone plan than $50/month. Also, George will be eligible for a health insurance subsidy under Obamacare.

George pays more in commuting back and forth to work since he works twice as many hours a year as Larry does.

Faulty reasoning. Whether I work 4 hours or 8 hours per day, my commuting costs are the same. Unless the public transportation rates or the tolls vary by rush hour/non rush hour.

My guess is both these men have a lot of stress and worry in their lives. Poverty causes stress. It's not like George is THAT much better off than Larry; George is still one serious illness away from being bankrupt and homeless. If George's rent goes up he may not be able to afford the increase and might have to move to a worse neighborhood. Larry probably spends his 25 hours of free time each week worrying about being mugged in his housing project, shot by a stray bullet, having the state of Illinois cut back his Medicaid benefits, and wishing he had a better paying, fulltime job with benefits.

But you go on dreaming this Rush Limbaugh dream where poor people are thrilled to work 25 hours a week, because it gives them so much free time to pursue their hobbies.

Lg just fed the troll.

I know, I had been so disciplined up to now.

It was like a big piece of cheese in a mousetrap, and written on the cheese was "I'm a total idiot, please help me see how!"

So much for second chances...

This troll likes the word "ilk."

Cheetohs = British version of Cheetos.

congolmerates = large companies in the Congo.

This is hilarious. Alot, which is another word Ed likes.

banksters = tellers in suits, a fedora and carring tommy guns.

Tell me which one of these people is smarter = fictitious characters.

The Alot is better than Ed. Alot better.

I love the Alot.

I'm sure it loves you too, janine.

How could it not?

I wish I had George's annual phone bill instead of mine.

Hey Bun,

How's Milo's career going?

Can he do IT support? It's a growing field for the technologically savvy terrier.

I saw something on TV in an airport yesterday about dogs learning to drive cars.

Dogs driving:

Bdubs, your dog is awesome!

Susan, you don't know the half of it! There's a link to his video in the Cute Aminals thread.

Oh my goodness!

::runs over to the Cute Animals thread::

Awwwwwwww! Now I am in love with your dog, Bdubs!

::collapses from cuteness overload::

Target training?

*fans Susan*

So dogs are not color blind?

Simply amazing. Animals are a wonder.

Damn, I bet they would be brilliant animators.

Something I just found out: students with low income don't qualify for food stamps.

I've never heard this before.

I have heard plenty of examples however of folks on welfare being less than honest during the application process. So I have to wonder how the case workers are going to know if someone is a student or not?
Especially with the overload of applicants there are now days.

That might explain why my dog Beau loved seeing dogs on TV, even cartoon dogs.

Maybe they'd be the only ones to enjoy the new Hobbit movie in its 48 f/s mode.

I thought Ed got booted.

I am getting soooo paranoid. Bdubs, you keep me grounded with your reason and excellent note taking skills.

Seriously? So people actually get an infinite number of warnings?

Oh I see what Ed's doing. He leaves a stealth comment, then leaves the group so he can't be booted. He'll rejoin again for each new comment.

Wait a second. That is a lot of work and a bit psychotic. What is the purpose?

The love of being a troll.

I never thought Susan was a sock. Anyway, we're not kicking people out for being socks. We're kicking them out for being trolls.

We know Ed is a troll with multiple sockpuppet accounts. There's no mystery here. And Ed is not that new a member. He's started a buttload of threads, which is how we quickly discovered he was a troll. We've had plenty of opportunities to observe his trolldom and his sockdom.

Awwwww, LG!!

What the fuck, Dubs?! A couple of hours!

Fucking fuck.

Thirty seconds for me.

The whole business creeps me out. I also really dislike being thought of as a person who is like this creephole. I understand that it is easy to speculate that new people could be associated with him. I feel myself doing it.

Uh. Days?

::sadness::

Oh stop. Sometimes it's hard to know. Especially when one arrives at the same time as a Mitzi or whatever.

Yeah, yeah. I get it. Doesn't mean I like it, though.
