[QUOTE=VaSTinY;50267673]Please fire this idiot[/QUOTE] Fire him, and stick him either in jail for a while or a mental institution. If he honestly thinks though that God told him this, assuming it's not just a classic bullshit defense ("Have pity on my aggressive conservatism; God's on my side!"), then he needs to be locked up and psychologically examined... or if nothing else, just plain locked up and kept segregated away from normal people like the rest of us who are just trying to go about our lives. Either way, this kind of behavior deserves punishment. Don't extend any tolerance at all to people like this, they'll just take advantage of it.
[QUOTE=The golden;50267715]Just a little side note, but hearing "the voice of god" inside your head is one of the signs of mental illness. I mean...not that everything else isn't already a sign. :v:[/QUOTE] Do you have a source for that? My acquiring mind wants to know about this stuff.
[QUOTE=E3245;50269606]Do you have a source for that? My acquiring mind wants to know about this stuff.[/QUOTE] It's classed as a religious delusion, a subset of delusionary disorders. Textbook definition of a delusion is a belief that somebody holds with conviction that has no connection to their cultural origins, despite superior evidence against said belief. A religious delusion is merely this, but where the focus is on religion (such as hearing 'commands from god or angels'.) [URL]http://www.rcpsych.ac.uk/pdf/Religious delusions Andrew Sims.pdf[/URL] you should find this interesting. edit: should add that religious delusions are often seen commonly in paranoid schizophrenia or in major depressive disorder.
Stereotypical dumb redneck Jesus Christ this guy hits it all
How can someone feel good about doing this? That isn't the Christian thing to do at all.
[QUOTE=The Pretender;50270002]How can someone feel good about doing this? That isn't the Christian thing to do at all.[/QUOTE] Unfortunately, there is a growing trend, especially in the south, that some are Christian and then there are Christian Conservatives whereby politics/ideologies mix with their religious life. It becomes muddled Christianity at that point. [editline]6th May 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Last or First;50268575]As we all know, Jesus hates poor people, disabled people, charity, and people who disagree with him. He also loves rich people and those who use religion to make a profit. "Turn the other way," I think he said? Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what he said.[/QUOTE] IIRC, there's some passage in the Bible about how God doesn't interfere/care about with the laws/politics of man?
[QUOTE=The Pretender;50270002]How can someone feel good about doing this? That isn't the Christian thing to do at all.[/QUOTE] This is the exact opposite of the Good Samaritan. Now, Samaritan is used in reference to someone who comes at times of need, but when Jesus was giving the parable, the Samaritans were one of the many tribes of Israel, and regularly butted heads with the traditional Jewish establishment. To have a Samaritan come to any old Jew's need was a mind-boggling concept, but Christ himself thought that all should help all. So, yes, a Trump supporter who claims to be spoken to by God should act as that Samaritan. Instead he's a fuckbaby
I didn't think "turn the other cheek" meant turn around and fucking leave people behind.
awfully loaded title the article says he refused to tow her because of his previous experience with sanders supporters not paying him [QUOTE]He believes Bernie Sanders supporters are socialists, and says he's had problems with two customers over the last six months who supported Bernie Sanders. He said they caused him problems over paying their bills. "I've had some horrible experiences in the last six months with towing cars for this mindset individuals, in that I don't get paid. They want to argue about a $50 tow bill, and it turns into just a drama and a fuss. And I said, you know, I'm not going to associate with them, and I'm not going to do any business with them," Shupe said. "I'm really not interested in doing business with that clientele," he said of Sanders' supporters. [/QUOTE] starpluck trying to stir shit as usual, i see
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50273544]awfully loaded title the article says he refused to tow her because of his previous experience with sanders supporters not paying him starpluck trying to stir shit as usual, i see[/QUOTE] Regardless of his reasons, I don't think he should be making generalizations about a massive group of people from just two individuals and automatically assuming that no one in said group pays towing bills.
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50273544]awfully loaded title the article says he refused to tow her because of his previous experience with sanders supporters not paying him starpluck trying to stir shit as usual, i see[/QUOTE] Still terrible reasoning. Also "awfully loaded title" is an ironic accusation coming from the guy who made that thread about socialism in Venezuela
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50273544]awfully loaded title the article says he refused to tow her because of his previous experience with sanders supporters not paying him starpluck trying to stir shit as usual, i see[/QUOTE] how does that change anything at all lol
[QUOTE=Skerion;50273574]Regardless of his reasons, I don't think he should be making generalizations about a massive group of people from just two individuals and automatically assuming that no one in said group pays towing bills.[/QUOTE] his business, his rules
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50273833]his business, his rules[/QUOTE] this is the stupidest fucking argument if I start a business, I'm not gonna serve woman, blacks, or gays, and the government can't do jack shit about it! my business, my rules!
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50273544]awfully loaded title the article says he refused to tow her because of his previous experience with sanders supporters not paying him starpluck trying to stir shit as usual, i see[/QUOTE] He left her, because she had a Bernie sticker on her car and a sign in her window, on the side of the road after an accident, because in the last 6 months he has had problems with TWO people who identified as Bernie supporters. So I don't see how the title is wrong, he left her there because she was a Bernie supporter, and did so under a religious delusion of righteousness. [quote][B]"Something came over me, I think the Lord came to me, and he just said get in the truck and leave," said Ken Shupe[/B] of Shupee Max Towing in Traveler's Rest, S.C. [B]"And when I got in my truck, you know, I was so proud, because I felt like I finally drew a line in the sand and stood up for what I believed."[/B][/quote] If standing up to someone of a different ideology than you because TWO PEOPLE MADE YOU MAD means leaving a woman who is legally disabled on the side of the road after an accident, you're a fucking pathetic person. I honestly have more sympathy for the people who drove by and didn't stop, because it wasn't their fucking job to tow her.
[QUOTE=Radio Yes;50273890]this is the stupidest fucking argument if I start a business, I'm not gonna serve woman, blacks, or gays, and the government can't do jack shit about it! my business, my rules![/QUOTE] The problem with this argument is that mr kjerr actually believes this should be how the world works
[QUOTE=Starlight 456;50273995]The problem with this argument is that mr kjerr actually believes this should be how the world works[/QUOTE] so we should force people to do things they do want to do against their will? hmmmm.........
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50274032]so we should force people to do things they do want to do against their will? hmmmm.........[/QUOTE] I am sure you would be sitting there nodding your head sagely as the tow truck driver left you in the dust, you're truly a man of people's rights! Your bs aside, when the thing in general is to help another person, damn straight I think you are obligated to go against your will if you don't want to help them. You would want the same from another human if you were in distress as would this scumbag trucker. That person has a right to exist in safety as does everyone on this planet and shame on you for implying any different. I bet your mother would slap the crap out of you if she read the edgy drool that spills from your mouth on here, how embarrassing.
starpluck you should know better than this
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50274032]so we should force people to do things they do want to do against their will? hmmmm.........[/QUOTE] so we should let people discriminate others based on their race, gender, sexuality, etc.? hmmmm....... the world shouldn't bend over for bigots also you made me waste my 1000th post, now i hate you even more
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50274032]so we should force people to do things they do want to do against their will? hmmmm.........[/QUOTE] i think maybe if theres a disabled woman in a car accident depending on you to get her to safety it probably doesn't matter what your beliefs are, you should drop them and help a fellow human being like a fellow human being would.
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50273544]awfully loaded title the article says he refused to tow her because of his previous experience with sanders supporters not paying him starpluck trying to stir shit as usual, i see[/QUOTE] Honestly, I don't believe a word he says (The tow truck driver)
I think most of us is forgetting that the "I had 2 Sanders supporters who fucked me over $50 in 6 months" is likely some delusion he just made up on the spot. Like how he heard God's voice in his head too.
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50274032]so we should force people to do things they do want to do against their will? hmmmm.........[/QUOTE] what are you even implying, that you really like ellipses?
[QUOTE=Starpluck;50267683] He appears to be the owner of the business, thus legal action should be in order for discrimination. We did not privatize the towing industry for this precise reason. He had a legal duty to uphold and failed. [/QUOTE] That seems rather sill considering this probably happens a handful of times a year, if that.
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50273544]awfully loaded title the article says he refused to tow her because of his previous experience with sanders supporters not paying him starpluck trying to stir shit as usual, i see[/QUOTE] just replace Sanders supporters with literally anything else and their stereotype. It's still fucked up. [quote] He believes jews are scam artists, and says he's had problems with two customers over the last six months who were jews. He said they caused him problems over paying their bills. "I've had some horrible experiences in the last six months with towing cars for this mindset individuals, in that I don't get paid. They want to argue about a $50 tow bill, and it turns into just a drama and a fuss. And I said, you know, I'm not going to associate with them, and I'm not going to do any business with them," Shupe said. "I'm really not interested in doing business with that clientele," he said of jews.[/quote] That doesn't help his point. He's still a prejudice fuck
this is the type of shit that people who hallucinate voices do in fact that's exactly what happened here :v:
[QUOTE=mr kjerr;50273833]his business, his rules[/QUOTE] I know just what you mean man, twice now I've tried to tow those fucking nigger's cars and they didn't pay me, now I don't tow no nigger no how, they're all that' same anyhow
[QUOTE=Radical_ed;50276640]I know just what you mean man, twice now I've tried to tow those fucking nigger's cars and they didn't pay me, now I don't tow no nigger no how, they're all that' same anyhow[/QUOTE] I somehow doubt blacks would do business with a white supremacist. The white supremacist then goes out of business for lack of customers. Problem solves itself.
[QUOTE=Emperor Scorpious II;50277022]I somehow doubt blacks would do business with a white supremacist. The white supremacist then goes out of business for lack of customers. Problem solves itself.[/QUOTE] Not really because there'd be plenty of other white supremacists flocking to support this guy. Problem remains.
