4. To be fair...
Is it really common knowledge that 911 is for emergencies? I mean, it's not as if this is some basic piece of information that is available to everyone, right?

Incidentally, perhaps when Sarah Palin is in charge of the Senate, she can get in there and figure out a way to reform the role of 911 in this great country so it becomes less of a crutch for people calling for "help" of some kind. I think, too, it would really be more useful in an all-purpose sort of, um, Customer Service complaint hotline kind of a forum, goshdarnit.

33. Is it really common knowledge?
HELL YES. In our area we have 311 for non-emergencies. WHO does not know that 911 is EMERGENCY?
Freepers? They are THAT uneducated? Wow. We DO need to allocate more for Education!

39. Yeah
Yeah, obviously it's common knowledge.

Go to a 1st grade classroom and ask them when you're supposed to call 911. THEY know.

7. Simple. Republicans have the asshole gene
No need to be PC about it. The thing that separates liberals from conservatives is empathy. Conservatives don't have any empathy. They are self-absorbed.

Think about your conservative associates. Do you know a single one who isn't self-absorbed?

Apparently arrogance, a sense of entitlement and a streak of old fashion crazy run in the family too.

18. What would go through your brain to get you to this point. Thnk about it.
It is an amazing thought process if you consider what might be going through your brain to get you to that point in your behavior. We have all been stuck in traffic and it is no great mystery that one lane is backed up and the other lane flows freely. That describes rush hour in most cities. So.... How messed up in the head would you have to be to actually call 911? Then, when the 911 operator calls back to tell you what everybody with half a brain knows, which is that you don't call 911 to complain about traffic, you don't stop and think about how stupid you are. Instead, you call 911 back to yell at them. Geez, when I was 5 years old, I made a crank phone call to the operator. I forget what my crank call was about, but I can tell you that it the funniest thing in the world when I was 5. Then something went wrong. The operator called me back to reprimand me and even at 5 years old I knew that I did something very wrong. Imagine what this guy must be like in ordinary life? And almost half the country wants this gene pool to run the country? Seems defective if you ask me.

19. it would take a lot to get me to say "fuck you" to a stranger
and look what it took this asshole to say it to the 911 operator. What did he do to deserve that?

37. Yes, 2 days ago. You'd probably hear a lot more about it on the news if not for the
fake assault reported by that woman. Coincidence?
