> [@iiandyiiii](#): > > I think that makes him anti-Tutsi/Armenian/slave, rather than not anti-Semitic. **Smapti** – aka ‘the worst neighbor in human history’ – is, by his political views, pretty much anti-person. De Georgio: Ah that’s one thing about our Harry, doesn’t play any favorites! Harry hates everybody: Limeys, Micks, Hebes, Fat Dagos, Niggers, Honkies, Chinks, you name it. Gonzales: How does he feel about Mexicans? De Georgio: Ask him. Harry Callahan: Especially Spics. ---

If he truly lives and acts in the same fashion as his statements, Smapti is a very bad neighbor and fellow human being, and a detriment and a danger to the society in which he lives. The biggest complaint I’ve ever had from my neighbors is that I threw some garbage in their can once because mine was full. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > The biggest complaint I’ve ever had from my neighbors is that I threw some garbage in their can once because mine was full. That’s a pretty shitty thing to do. Do your neighbors know that you would turn them in if they were hiding from a government that was persecuting their ethnic group? That’s what makes you a terrible neighbor, and a terrible fellow human being, and a detriment and a danger to society and humanity. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > The biggest complaint I’ve ever had from my neighbors is that I threw some garbage in their can once because mine was full. The fact they complained about that to you probably means they already think you’re some kind of a pain and don’t give you any leeway. My neighbors are nice and if they through something in my trash I wouldn’t like but I’d chalk it up to a one time thing. If my neighbors had been annoying me, I’d be more likely to say something. ---

> [@dasmoocher](#): > > So why didn’t you put it in your own filled trash can and leave them out of it? Looking for contraband so you could turn them in? Carpet beetles had gotten into my closet and I had to throw out several bags worth of old clothes which weren’t worth saving. After the third bag, my can was full to where I couldn’t fit any more in, and the amount that the city charges for having to pick bags up off the curb is exponentially higher than the amount they charge for an overflowing can, so I tossed the other two bags in the neighbor’s can. ---

I was thinking more along the line of Jim Sterling’s representation of EA (and their relationship with gamestop). But yeah, Cartman works too. ---

The fact that you are even _engaging_ in this conversation is a gold-plated shit-nugget of hilarity. But seriously, seek help. There may still be time.
