> [@20 Million Tons of Junk Headed For Hawaii-Is Japan Liable?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/20-million-tons-of-junk-headed-for-hawaii-is-japan-liable/600958/1): > > The enormous debris filed from the March tsunami is now poised to hit Hawaiin beaches … > My question: is the Japanese Government liable for any of the cleanup/disposal costs? > Having Malibu Beach befold by tons of junk isn’t going to sit well with the people who paid \>$10 million for a waterfront view-so who will wind up paying for this?☹ “A mere millionaire who laid out a large chunk of his savings for a house a fraction of that pricetag might also be displeased, but let’s be sure to focus attention on the grievances of the “best” humans, the Job-Creating super-rich. And if Japan, reeling from a horrific disaster – and far more generous with foreign aid than U.S.A. – needs to raise taxes to reimburse these aggrieved super-rich let’s certainly hope they raise taxes on their own indolent welfare abusers and not their own billionaires.” Sheesh! This ideation is so putrid I can only respond to it in BBQ Pit. It came as little surprise of course: [QUOTE=ralph124c] My take on [blame for mortgage crisis]: Clinton: easily 30%-he had the brilliant idea that banks should give mortgages to deadbeats. (Ex) Sen. Dodd(CT):-15%-he was instrumental in forcing the banks to lend to people with… There are too many of these deals (Solyndra, Fiskars, etc.) to be coincidental. Might these all be part of a huge kickback scheme to provide funding for the 2012 election? THe whole “green” energy… I looks like [Martin Luther] King [,Jr.] has just completed the “Long March”. Its a perfect example of Stalinist “cult of the individual” art. Start a “Green” solar energy company, and get a multimillion $ loan from the governemnt. Then go bankrupt-after you pay ypourself a nice bonus! In Massachusetts, should you wound or kill a robber, you will be sued by his family-and probably made to pay an enormous fine (plus your legal bills). And if your weapon is unregistered, you will… Here’s how you get a $16 DOJ muffin: -by muffins from Dunkin Donuts ($2.49 each) -add graft ($13.51) REsult: hotel makes big profit, owners “donate” to Democratic Party Everybody is happy! [/QUOTE] These are just excerpts seen via _View Posts by this Nutnik_ – this Nutnik hardly seemed worth an extra click. There’s no need to bother refuting his half-truths. The muffin gibberish, of course, is not a half-truth but an outright lie. That he bought into it tells us what his favorite news source is. But the reason I’m posting is to brag that browsing SDMB has taught me to detect the right-wing stench from small clues: > [@20 Million Tons of Junk Headed For Hawaii-Is Japan Liable?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/20-million-tons-of-junk-headed-for-hawaii-is-japan-liable/600958/22): > > Well, I am going against the grain on this one and suggest that Ralph124c has a legitimate question. While **ralph124c** was, unfortunately, a familiar voice, I’d hardly heard of **obbn**. So I made a bet with myself, clicked _View Posts_ and won the bet: > [@Social Security Raise Election Ploy?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/social-security-raise-election-ploy/600277/1): > > To top it off … the cost of our Medicare premium is going up in conjunction with our COL increase. That’s great Obama, give us a desperately needed adjustment and then take it back from us on the back end. > > I guess what really pisses me off is that the Democrat party is constantly telling us how the Republicans only care about “big business” and the only party you can count on to look out for the working man or the poorer people in our country is the Democrats. Then they bull a B.S. move like this one. The current administration wants us to do more with less, yet the Obama’s have used 4 million of our tax dollars for vacations in the last year (and no, off hand I don’t have a cite for it, but have read it several times. I don’t have the time to look it up now). Yeah, 4 million is a drop in the bucket when it comes to the US Government, but it does show a ton of hypocracy that we, the unwashed masses, are expected to take the cut and make do yet the politicians see nothing has too good for themselves. And like I said, coming from the very ones who tell us that they “have our back”. > > … I can afford my meds. I won’t comment on this screed except to congratulate you on being able to afford your meds and recommend you try some new ones. ---

Think of the SDMB as a number of villages. Each one needs its idiot, although some have more than their allotment. ---

You aren’t _wrong_ but **ralph124c** is a total idiot. Even the conservatives on the board think so. The lefties have to deal with **gonzomax** , and the righties have him. Both morons, neither worth wasting energy on. I suggest the “Ignore” feature. And it only took that thread on the Social Security COL increase for me to place **obbn** in the same category. He’s a dipshit. Again, you aren’t wrong, but this also isn’t really news. They are annoying as shit though, I’ll give you that. ---
