he nods and points me over to the forms window. I go over and ask the woman if I can get this form. She replies she can't answer the question. I ask, as in you're not permitted, or don't know. I can't answer the question she says again dismissing me out of hand. Excuse me?

You can't tell me you haven't delt with your share of, seemingly at least, inhuman bureaucrats that make you want to kill them because they won't even put forth any simple human decency when dealing with you.

Thankfully most of us have never been royally assfucked by the taxman, but you can understand the guy's position that after so many times and so long of being treated like a criminal that he's going to snap.

So these working class citizens - regardless of whether they work for the IRS - are tyrants? You've got to be joking. The only person he killed was a man in his 70s. Funny, guess that guy didn't get to retire...which is exactly what this guy was so mad about: his lost retirement.

Question to anyone in accounting or something similar:

Why hasn't anyone automated tax returns? Is it really necessary to slog through all these fucking papers year after year after year? Is this like some giant conspiracy aiming to keep H&R Block in business?

How do you mean?

Or more succinctly, TJ said it best...

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.

Incredibly well-spoken, cowardly hypocrite.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure.

Whats the deal with the pant "rip" bits on the skaters? Is that the latest fashion to rip out a bit near the crotch for the ladies? Or did they accidently rip the pants, or using really old suits or?
