Hey Jimmy, come on down. I’m starting this thread because I would like to implore you to cease your trolling, it’s really quite tiresome. You behave like a child and simply resort to name calling and taunting. All that you seem to do is thread shit with your “Obama worship” meme. Please do us all a favor and try to make some sense once in a while instead of simply instigating a fight.
May I encourage you to report the posts of his you believe to be trolling? I’ve reported several of his posts in the last few days, but I don’t read a lot of threads in GD or The Pit, so I probably have missed dozens more.
Do please report his posts.
I was trying to pull this old damn rusted LP tank out of a ditch the other day, so I hooked the chain up to the piece of shit forklift and pulled slowly. You know what happened? The damn chain broke. (true story, I swear) It snapped like the whip in an Indiana Jones movie. Thank God there wasn’t anybody around. Now I got an old ass empty propane tank in a ditch, a working (sort of) forklift, and and a broken chain. Seeing how the chain’s the problem, I really only need one thing:
Can I get a link, please?
O.K. that guy’s a troll.
Right, I’ve googled it and I still don’t understand what the whole “pledge to serve” thing is that everyone seems to be talking about today.
Can someone enlighten me?
No need to google, it’s right here in the Pit.
Aaaaah! Light dawns
(so there was actually something worth looking at in a Carol Stream thread? Who’da thunk?)
I’m at the point now when I see a troll like that it get’s a bunch of :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: from me and a Yaaaaaaaaaaaawn:o.
From there I immediately assume it’s some 14 year-old dipshit who wandered in here from some youtube comments section.
It’s like driving down the street and having some kid yell “hey mister, your car’s ugly!”
psshh… whatever. Get back on your scooter and go away.
Not really…the full concept is “I pledge to serve the president and the American people”. In other words, “I’m going to try and help out others”, with the president lumped in and given equal footing as everyone else. Our resident bridge-dwellers know this, but they’re playing their standard roles with feigned ignorance.
Can you imagine what would happen if school children were required to pledge “fidelity” (maybe there is another word) to the country every day? The right would go crazy.
Meh, between this and the kanicbird thread in GD, I’m starting to wonder exactly how many people are routinely compelled to argue with that crazy guy outside the subway station.
I pledge to serve the president. I will lay my body down in mud so he can walk over my back to keep his shoes clean. And if Jimmy What’s-His-Name doesn’t like it, he can kiss my red ass.
My problem is pledging to be the President’sservant not the pledging to do good things. I’m also not a fan of the pledge of allegiance.
Are you a fan of Demi More or Ashton Kutcher? Do you frequently have problems the opinions and suggestions of celebrities? If not, then please don’t fall for the troll’s attempt to frame this as something related to the government, the DNC, the administration, Obama’s new dog, or sentient mold in his refrigerator.
Note how it likes chanting the worship/messiah Right Wing advertising slogan. This just furthers its efforts in that regard.
I see your point. I guess I’ve just been misunderstanding the discussion about it.
Our armed forces implicitly pledge to serve the president every day. They carry out his orders without question.
We like it then, right? These guys sometimes *die *because the president says they have to. And it makes us weep - the dedication and sacrifice of it. We honor it above most things.
Yes, I pledge to serve the president today, in a smaller way than our military does.
I don’t. I value individuality above most things.
I pledged to serve… Belgian waffles to all of your mothers.
I suppose American waffles aren’t good enough? Typical! Would you like to know who else liked Belgian waffles?
