New LED tail lights 69 Cuda
garsh dang slant six Dan, I've seen Mercedes Benz copywrite lawyers and Pitt bulls less aggressive than you were to Mr. spaghetti......holy crap!
You remind me of a discussion over on Google+ (which is like Fecebook only less crappy). Someone posted a pic of a handwritten sign someone at his work taped to the wall above the toilet, which read as follows:
STOP urinating on the floor and toilet seat! Is this how you live at home?! If your squirt gun is that little maybe you should squat to pee. Or maybe try lifting the lid! If you don't want to touch it, use your foot.
There were many comments in the resulting thread. One guy objected to the sign. Said it was insulting and needless and made him want to piss all over the bathroom, then find and piss all over whoever wrote the sign. This shoot-the-messenger guy's an adult, but obviously not a grownup. I'm betting whoever has to touch and clean up some slob's piss every damn day -- a bigger insult than any mean ol' sign, don'tchya think? -- probably doesn't consider the sign needless.
It's like a little kid whining when you take away the matches he's playing with. He doesn't understand the very real dangers involved; he's just peeved 'cause you spoiled their fun. Likewise, Mr. Spaghetti has demonstrated that he is ignorant of the legally mandatory technical requirements his products must fulfill, and of his certification responsibilities (and liability) under the law. He has also demonstrated that he has no interest in those subjects, 'cause the cash register's ringing. In my view, that makes him almost like the little kid playing with matches, but not quite exactly alike; he's also like the how-dare-you-put-up-a-sign-telling-me-to-piss-in-the-damn-toilet guy in that he's old enough to know better, but chooses anyhow to behave like the little kid playing with matches.
The really pathetic thing about it is that doing it
right takes just about the same amount of effort and time as doing it wrong or cutting corners and shirking responsibility, and doing it wrong sooner or later costs a whole hell of a lot more -- in dollars and human lives.
So: No. I'm not backin' down, I'm not changing my tone, and I'm not sorry. Don't like it? Don't read my posts. I'm right, he's wrong, full stop.
