This, dear friends, is what happens when one thinks too hard. You are certainly right that poor economic conditions lead to violence often; just look at South America in much of the last 40 years, or North Africa 7 years ago. While the US has been blessedly able to avoid this for the most part, the downturn, when it comes, has the potential to be very nasty, and we are way, way overdue.
"ahem" was an under-thought reply! I'm over thinking it again right now. Is it read in an incredulous manner calling in to question all that it is in reply to? Is it pointing out a specific error within the quoted text? Your intent, for it to call attention to current events in our own country did not register as a possibility in my mind.
OTOH, I can just see rioters pausing to take a bunch of selfies with their lawless friends and texting the pic with to their other buddies before lighting the next Molotov cocktail....
When Caleb Porter comes to lead our Crew, then you should be grateful to this thread. It served as a beacon to Porter. A bottle in the ocean serving as a SOS leading him to us. Yes, indeed this thread served as a tether to show Porter had a group of online message board nerds who would be the port in his unemployed storm. My thanks to the original thread starter. Without you, I do not think this move would be possible!
If nothing else, I hope we don't hire him just so we don't have to read hang whinging about his hatred of Porter for the next 5 years...
Dec 2nd 11 days BEFORE. Will this record ever be broken for fastest Crew BS "Fire Coach X" thread creation? @hangthadj silver lining, amiright?
*official dad voice* This thread is about firing Caleb Porter. Please refrain from making celebratory posts regarding the hiring of the stupid jerkface or dragging smarter, more good-looking posters. This is your final warning. Keep the conversation on topic or you'll be grounded for a week, young man. Dammit, go ask your mom.
Oh yeah?! I'll cry you a damn river! Then I'll build a ********ing bridge and get over it! Now what, smartie?! I control the navigable waterways! Industry and trade are mine! MWAHAHAHAHA! #PuntPorter
My cup runneth over, good sir--aw ******** it's all over the carpet. Does anyone have a towel or something?
