Planting a few different types of Tobacco, some gourds, few different types of tomatoes and peppers..
Also, Morning Glories and poppies, still have elephant ears and grapes.  maybe some other ornamental flowers I haven't decided on yet.

..Sounds familiar..



Sleestak FTW!

Look around places other than RANT, and you'll find Wogs.

I've seen Wogs who were once very active here and then disappeared elsewhere, and their still Wog.  Over a long enough timeline most seem to move on to other areas and leave the RANT forum.  I can't speak for others, but I keep an RSS feed of the forum so that I don't have to actually visit to know what's up most of the time.

Wog covers such a broad swatch of personality types, and there are so many egos among the type of person drawn to RANT.  It would be a nightmare if we were all here all the time.  Make the connections here that matter to you and move out of the forums with them, you'll find a much more productive and positive experience that way.

There's a wog right out there in Seminole, we may make a field trip out there sometime when I'm over that way.  I'm assuming this place is open to the public since you were able to snag these pics right?

Guthrie, OK huh.. You into Ham Radio by any chance?  I'm pretty sure you could access the W5IAS repeater system with only about 25W from there.

We have a bunch of Win8 PCs at work, I got to play with it a week before advertising for it started.  Honestly, I thought it was a cheap dummy operating system put out early to prevent the real deal from leaking early.

Than I find out Microsoft was serious... 

It was developed for the tablet market.  So that your Windows Tablet/Phone had the same OS as your PC.  A neat concept but executed poorly.  Honestly, I would have liked to see Windows8 developed more like WindowsCE if they were going to go the "all one OS" route.

However, it is a step closer to my prediction of future PCs (predicted in 2009) where the operating system and internet access is all the same thing, and you select "channels" instead of visiting websites.  See XBOX360 OS for an example.

Time to brush up on Linux, because the only thing worse than Win8 is going to be Win9.

Nice truck!  Those old Toyotas are pretty damned tough.

clearly.

My mistake, I guess you just happened to find that obscure little blog on the same day as the Infowars team, and didn't just share the provided link to avoid mention of infowars when you posted it up here.  It happens, but I'm sure you can appreciate the LOL in how unlikely it seems. 

A cut and paste of the entire article?  I'm pretty sure everyone here already reads infowars. 

But yeah, interesting read.

Solution: Don't own a cell phone.

I don't.  Fuck giving my business to a company that isn't going to respect my rights.  IF someone absolutely needs a phone for work or something, get a pre-paid disposable "basic" phone and leave if in a faraday pouch when not using it.

Fuck being a part of that "we all NEED this chinese made crap" mindtrap.  I don't need to hand over my privacy so I can play Angry Birds.

And this is news?

Still has nothing to do with the First Amendment. 


Given Loop's point regarding Police as Civil Servants and the limits of authority, yada yada.. How is "you need to get out of the street, how about standing on that sidewalk over there, yeah go ahead and film, that's fine.. just move slightly please" repressive?  Are they being victimized by having their right to upset emergency traffic being violated?  What about the rights of those who may need quick, unobstructed access to that hospital?

Even IF that cop had no more authority to ask them to move then Jack Nobody (and that's a big IF) why would you pick a fight over it?  How does a person's thought process go from a guy asking you not to stand in the street to "ZOMG! THIS IS EXACTLY LIKE STALIN'S OPPRESSIVE REIGN!  LET'S SET SOMETHING ON FIRE!" *slight paraphrasing used. 

Even if I was willing to say this cop is the worst type of oppressive jerk to ever fill a uniform (which I am not, by any means) this video STILL shows the "reporters" acting more like unreasonable jackoffs than it does the officer.  The type of people that pick a fight with a cop, just because he's a cop, and then whine about how oppressed they are.  Loop I know you to be a very well read, very intelligent individual.  I'm surprised to see you siding with these guys.  (not surprised at your input necessarily, and definitely not surprised by your stance on "authority", but surprised you support this kind of asshattery.)

Nothing here surprises me.  Harlot, I sure wish you were still around posting!

There is a time and place to "take a stand".  When a police officer asks you to get out of the damn road is neither.

The Hospital asked them to get off Hospital grounds, which makes sense, they could end up being in the way in an emergency.  They no doubt got their panties in a wad that the hospital would dare give orders to the press.

So the move to the median.  Not the smartest thing to do, but I can understand how they might come to the decision to try setting up there.  So at this point we have a cluster of "reporters" standing around practically in the street, possibly already sour over having had to move once.

Along comes this Police officer, who was called down there when the reporters were blocking the hospital entrance.  He assesses the situation, sees a cluster of people standing on the median between two roads, and tells them they need to move to the sidewalk on the other side.  This makes perfect sense, and it would have been negligent for the officer NOT to remove them from the street.  Instead, the reporters "take a stand"... against what?  An officer showing concern for public safety?  The fact that reporters are not treated as Kings everywhere they go?  What was the point in their actions?

The reporters were NOT asked to stop filming, even when they were being intentionally obnoxious sticking cameras in the officer's face. (No doubt trying to provoke him to request just that)  They were not asked to leave, even though they were going out of their way to be a nuisance.  They were simply asked to move 5 feet to the other side of the road.  If my $100 Kodak 5mp easyshare camera can take video from the distance of 4 houses away, I'm sure their corporate sponsored, $$$$monies, professional grade cameras could film from across the street without a problem.

The only thing the cop has going against him are the comments he made, which are not even untrue.  He stated that you First Amendment right can be terminated based on location and whether or not you are being a jackass.  We could no doubt sit here and debate this all day, (that IS the law, but also an unconstitutional law is invalid, ect.) and both sides of the argument would be correct... technically speaking.  But even the SCOTUS upholds that the first can be subject to time and place.  So while we may disagree with the officer's statement on philosophical or legal grounds, we cannot really fault him for believing it is true.  Also worth noting, this has ZERO to do with the first amendment anyways, lol, since they are not being censored or asked not to film, just move out of the damn road!

I sure would like to see video of the confrontation from the beginning.  I'd be willing to bet my last dollar the officer started out being nice and friendly before these jackoffs started acting like pissed off angsty teenagers.

There are plenty of examples of "bad cops being dicks" to be found on the internet.  This is not one of them.

Ok, Devil's Advocate time...

So the group of reporters (at least four cameramen, and three others) were asked to go across the street, and instead they decided to stand on a median.  We don't see what took place until the reporters start filming, seemingly after whatever took place to get the officer pissed.  He is not asking them to leave, but just go across the street and out of the middle of the damn road. 

I agree 100% that this guy was out of line with some of his comments, but asking a large group of people to get out of the street is not unreasonable, and I have seen how quickly people are to start treating cops who are just doing their job like trash.

The only thing I can see for certain from that video is that a bunch of self important media jackoffs managed to provoke an officer into saying something stupid on camera, so they can play "Martyr of Free Speech" for a day and get some publicity from it.
