Discount Tire owner spends $1M to defeat recreational-pot initiative

[Thai]

I dont care if you listen. I dont dislike you any less than any other human.
My retirement will be happily spent getting even with lots of humans. There is plenty to hate about humans.

Such a wealth of information and optimism from you. Boasting on the internet about your wealth (and pot smoking) is about as idiotic as reading what you just wrote...maybe more so.

Good luck in retirement. For some of us, i don't want to retire because then that means that either i have become obsolete in my profession or my enthusiasm for what i do is gone. I plan to work part-time when i need to slow down...but retire? Nah. Boast about it on internet of unknown folks? That's just idiotic.

If he cared about his employees he would have divided up that million as bonuses for his people. If he cared about his customers he would not happily flash that much money obnoxiously to try and show us up.

Or maybe the employees can put up their own income and invest in their company, so they profit share from their own financial contributions?

Work doesn't qualify people for profit sharing. That's something politicians invented to get re-elected.

Also, thank political correctness for getting rid of bonuses. You used to be able to reward hard working employees before special snowflakes started to sue that their half assed effort is the best they can do because of all manner of imagined disabilities and microagresson, racism, sexism, ageism, etc. keeping them down.

Spending so much time on hate I can see as possibly a health concern mentally and physically. For hating humans a lot I feel like you forget you are one? Unless you are some robot or other homosapien typing on the world wide web and your spite for the human race?
Nothing like feeling superior as you talk down to everyone. I guess if you do that in the virtual world on a regular basis it will make it easier for you in the real world. The only thing is in real world interactions you may be challenged with a little more logic and you will not have your keyboard to defend yourself and have to think off the cuff.
Good luck in retirement...........glad you made it. Hope you are?

Ok so somehow I just got a warning for politics. I made a post most people would interpret as keep government and politics out of something. i.e. Decriminalize something don't make it a law or political fight. I did however point out why some states are against the legalization of weed due to a federal law.

When the op started a thread about laws being created and of fought against. That is politics clear as day. Then the mod post in it as well seemingly taking a shot at one of the posters, Muzzle of Bees.

So in the name of all the BS PC that mod 1engineer seems to be pushing I hope everyone got a warning.

Maybe he's just not cut out to be a mod. He seems to have no problems participating in a conversation that the "rules" clearly forbid "according to him". Going as far as telling someone he will listen to them as soon as they donate their money to something. Then gets on others.

What forums do you moderate. I should probably just not participate in any of those. If there is one thing I can't stand it is hypocrisy.

If I get banned for this post I don't have a lot of knowledge about Toyota's but know a little about 1st and 2nd gen 4runners and 2nd and 3rd gen pickups. I can be found on yotatech under the same screen name.

The first thing you should have done is pm me to ask or make a statement. You chose to tag me out here so here I am.
I had previously read this thread and even posted because I didn't think it was overtly political and it wasn't until your post. To be truthful i never noticed your post until someone filed a complaint and reported it. When that happens we are forced to evaluate it. When i read it i can see how your post was going to do nothing but start an argument. I gave you a warning, no points.
Your post above is not a problem. You didn't call me names or talk trash or anything else. You expressed your opinion. Good luck and remember, no politics because just stating your political opinion will start an argument and that leads to nothing good.

I don't mod or am even a member of any other forums so you have no worry of running into me anywhere else.

While I know it's impossible, I do try to be as impartial as I can be. By doing this I am disliked by both sides equally.

Here and I thought you were banned for another infraction before 11/23 when you and I and several others got our hands smacked with the ruler on a 60 day stint.

I guess you're lucky you're not banned at least?

I knew this thread would get "political" and heavens to Betsy we can't have that. I want my nobody gets offended safe space of T4R off topic back - save me!

the stores here in az were also supporting the re election of a known racist sheriff who violates civil, human, and constitutional rights and wastes tax payers money on lawsuits and his personal agenda. Luckily he just lost his re election.

Ok I don't have a dog in that fight but I do want to know where you get a list of the civil rights and human rights. And who made up that list. Seen a lot of different lists claiming a lot of different things and all called the same

Hmmm, I just bought a set of BFG KO2's from them. I'm very much pro legalization but my experience has shown them to be a top notch tire dealer so I'll continue to use them. I guess being in CO I'm not that harsh of a critic. Or maybe it's what I'm smoking.

It's still a federal offense. You cannot have drugs and guns. Just like you cannot legally cross from one pot legal state to another without committing a federal felony. In addition, you cannot legally deposit proceeds from pot sales to a FDIC insured bank. Or work for any federal agency.

I don't read every post in every thread. I was hoping that this thread would stay fairly non political and that is not the case. Now this thread is closed.
