Stupid News... or just plain stupid people making news

OK, I am not sure which person is more stupid. OK, I do know who is more stupid. It is the editor of the newspaper that allowed the following picture in the paper/site.

I wonder how many people will catch on what I am talking about.

Herm, if you want to remove this I understand. It made it past the newspaper editor

Well with Remembrance Day coming up on November the 11th, the Royal Canadian Legion as they do every year has put out donation boxes at stores and fast food outlets. You can buy a poppy to commemorate the fallen, the poppy being the symbol of remembrance. The money raised from the sale of the poppies is used by the Legion to support various veteran services.

In the old days you never used to hear of this sort of thing. In the last few years, occasionally you heard of it. But this year it seems way up. Can you guess yet what it is?

Maybe it's the state of the economy, although up here we're told constantly about how well off we are compared to everyone else. (Tell that to the unemployed, I say. )
Not that I'm on the side of just forgiving these guys with no retribution, either, however.

This sort of stuff could be avoided in most societies if the most important mandate was the raising and education of the children. That would take a major culture change though. It sure won't come from our current system of governance. So hey let's spend our money on war and fighter jets instead!

I remember a lesbian girl in the neighbourhood when I was growing up who always had that same look on her face as those two women. And she never had anything nice to say to boys ever. She had a real hate on for men, and would put you down whenever she felt like it.

Yes Nameless, those two were ugly!

He should have printed up a couple more so that he could pay his bail bond and hire a lawyer.

I don't know if this should go into the "vent" thread, or in here. I knew this guy when we were kids. He was spoiled rotten by his parents, and was a total pain in the ass. We didn't see him too often in the neighbourhood, but his mother was friends with another Polish lady across the street, and we would see Ronnie around sometimes. He never played with any of the local kids because no one could stand him. If you had any candy, he had a habit of coming over and wheedling for some, in a pain in the ass voice. It didn't matter how much you shared with him. Be it a little or a lot, when you were done doling some out to him, he always said: "Is that all I get?" Then he'd stuff the candy in his mouth and take off. Once as he left after he got what he wanted, I said in a loud voice "you're welcome" to suggest that he thank me. He gave his usual reply, which was a dirty cackle which strongly suggested that he was calling me a sucker. The last time I can recall seeing him was at Halloween when we were around 13 or 14. He knocked on the door, and I gave him the same amount of candy as everyone else was getting. Guess what he said.

A few years ago I heard all about this guy's escapades in the ensuing years from another guy who was also adopted from Poland into the local Polish community at the same time. He said at that time something like: "thank God I wasn't given to Ronnie's parents".

There is no doubt that Ronnie's doting parents are partly responsible for instilling his sense of entitlement to his ill gotten gains, but I think that the judge is correct in suggesting that he is a psychopath also.

Read all about little "Is that all I get?" Ronnie here.

The judge is correct in saying that no one will ever get their money back. His mother is wrong to say that he gambled the money away. Like any true psycho, he has it well hidden some place. Probably in a Grand Cayman bank.
