geraldo commented on the diary post America: Losing its true moral compass by Jane Stillwater.
America’s “moral compass” is entirely an invention of the American media. That is why Americans are told constantly that they are the bestest and most wonderful people living in the bestest and most wonderful country God ever gave to mankind and they are a gift unto the rest of the world and the furners just [...]

geraldo commented on the diary post Joe Biden Is a Better Skier Than His Boss by Scarecrow.
Holy wow. I had posted an apology on another board admitting I had been wrong about Obama being a bigot, and now he says Biden spoke out of turn due to “generosity of spirit”.
How fucking condescending of him.

geraldo commented on the diary post It’s Not Just Christian Charity, It’s Human Charity by Omnipotent Poobah.
Lots of times local charities are more hands-on and once you get involved you know where your money is going. I tend to prefer donating time, rather than money, to charities (like helping out at a food bank or an animal shelter) because I know that my donation is entirely focused on helping people — [...]

geraldo commented on the blog post US Health Care Still Radically More Expensive Yet Not More Effective
I know a surgeon in the U.S. (New York) who keeps threatening to move to Canada where he won’t have to spend 90% of his day fighting with insurance companies.
But change is haaaarrrd. So he stays there and grumbles on the internets.

geraldo commented on the diary post Is Obama’s Family Better Than My Family? Or Yours? by wbgonne.
I have to admit Obama’s family is better than my family. My family is a ferret. And he has cancer. He has way more ambition than I do. I just want to earn enough money to move to Mexico and sit around drinking tequila and playing video games. So I’m kind of a pointless waste [...]

Congratulations on this success! Hopefully all states will eventually follow suit, preferably sooner rather than later.

geraldo commented on the diary post Thoughts On Bullying by Crane-Station.
There will always be bullying because kids are stupid and do stupid things. Last September 11 I was walking to the store to get milk and some kids were walking toward me. I am a 45 year old man. I hate kids, they do stupid things. Sure enough as I passed the kids one wished [...]

geraldo commented on the diary post Will the Powers That Be Finally Get Their Wish And Kill the PC? by Phoenix Woman.
The premise is only valid for people who don’t work in the industry. The PC has been used for software development for 20 years precisely because of its versatility. Need to act as a terminal to a /370 Mainframe running VM? Run a 3270 emulator. Need to develop an embedded operating system for cash registers? [...]

geraldo commented on the blog post Americans Divided About Their Tax Bill
I got a idear:
Set aside a specific state and make it a “pay what you think you should pay” state. People who live in that state will pay only what they think they should pay in taxes.
They will get no federal monies, nor monies from other states, to maintain their infrastructure, schools, etc.
People moving there must first settle their tax bill with their current state so you don’t get people moving there for a week to avoid paying taxes and then hotfooting it back to a state where they have “plumbing” and “roads”.

geraldo commented on the diary post One Truthful Thing About the 2012 Election by Ohio Barbarian.
“Conversely, pretty much everything the Romney campaign says about Obama will also be true.”
Gonna have to disagree on this one. Obama is lot of things but socialist redistributor of wealth, anti-war, liberal, etc. aren’t any of those things.

geraldo commented on the diary post Oh Yes, He Did. Santorum Half-Drops N* Word – VIDEO by Lisa Derrick.
It strikes me that he fell into autopilot while speaking and suddenly remembered that what he says to his wife at the dinner table isn’t something he should say in public.

geraldo commented on the diary post A Must See: Young Woman’s Stunning Youtube Rant by pfiore8.
Actually I guess I should correct myself. Replace ‘conservatives’ with ‘politicians’.
(I actually know some conservatives in the sense of real conservativism, who are simply cautious about changing things until they know it’s going to improve a situation or solve a problem — I’m like that myself)

You guys are making me feel bad.

geraldo commented on the diary post A Must See: Young Woman’s Stunning Youtube Rant by pfiore8.
This is a good rant but pointless, unfortunately. All conservatives will hear is “blah blah blah morality blah blah blah pregnant blah blah blah abortion.”
They’re like the cat in a Far Side cartoon that only hears its own name when its owner is talking at it.

Sharecroppers for Jayzus! Ladyparts are a potential threat to security. Think of all the guards that could be manipulated into whispering secrets while under the spell of Satan’s Triangle!

geraldo commented on the blog post White House dances around President’s ‘evolution’ on marriage equality – and a question about Amendment One
No, he is a bigot. If he were a SMART POLITICIAN he would look at the polls and see that support for same sex marriage is on the rise and stake out his position accordingly.
But he doesn’t.
His job is to make the right decision, to be on the right side of history, and bring the people along with him. He has chosen to be on the wrong side of history.
