I was called a 'Libtard' in public, replied with 'Better than a Repiglicker', got punched. LOL

[dorksied]

In front of witnesses, at work. Now, I'm curious whether or not he's gonna be wanting state assistance to pay his bills since he was stupid enough to do something like this and get fired. My bet is, now that HE needs help, he will be all for collecting the money he paid into the system, the so called 'entitlement welfare' that he bitched about every day.

[jorno67]

1. NOPE!!! He'll just blame you (the Libtard) For getting him fired

and will never take any personal responsibility for his actions...

[Bunny]

2. Libtard, Repiglicker, and punching. This post has everything!

:rofl:

[PeaceNikki]

4. meh. It's lacking a pit bull and didn't happen at the Olive Garden.

[Blue-Jay]

7. You're correct. It didn't happen

at the Olive garden.

[PeaceNikki]

9. I don't understand what this thread has to do with Weiner's peeper

[Horse with no Name]

8. Or a pit bull that was circumcized at Olive Garden. n/t

[jmowreader]

33. The pit bull also has to be smoking and breastfeeding

[Mojorabbit]

35. and needs a plate of cornflake crusted chicken to round it out. nt

[polmaven]

20. OK...I obviously have missed something...

I have seen a couple of snide references latey about the Olive Garden. What have I missed? :shrug:

[PeaceNikki]

23. Here's the story

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5842899&mesg_id=5843854

[polmaven]

28. Oh, phew! Thank you!

I Thought I might have missed something about it being owned by RimJob at Freeperville, or something....A new Olive Garden just opened Monday in my (small town) area, and I wondered if I had to avoid it!!!! Thanks again!:toast:

[ScreamingMeemie]

37. I bookmarked the OP (Hissy's original) because it was so unbelievable.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=5279955&mesg_id=5279955

[joshcryer]

50. Thanks. Amazing how high the bar has gone for a flame war designation these days.

You need 200+ posts to pull that off nowadays.

[octothorpe]

47. Ohhhh.. wow, I thought it had something to do with politics

like maybe the olive garden donated to republicans or they had some racist incidents like the cracker barrel.

[joshcryer]

49. Thank you! I was wondering about this, for the longest time!

I see the Olive Garden thing and keep thinking "wtf, I have been here since almost the beginning and don't know what that is about."

[Carni]

52. Damn! What the hell?!

I had no idea suggesting a chain restaurant could cause such an uproar here on DU!

I am not a big OG fan but geez the poor woman was just trying to be helpful!

TOUGH CROWD!

[PeaceNikki]

54. The fried chicken wars were far worse.

[Carni]

55. I missed those!

Was it KFC vs Popeye's, or something more serious? lol

[PeaceNikki]

56. MUCH more serious.

It was over cornflakes being used for coating.

[Carni]

60. Were they pulsed down into a finer texture...

Or just slapped on the chicken in their whole normal larger form?

Damn I am sorry I missed it!

I could advocate pulsing them and using, have to cut bait on using them if they were their original corn flake size!

Thank you for the info because I even just googled the "DU chicken wars" because I am so damned nosy lol (yes, I need a life!)

[Lucky Luciano]

66. The attacks on the woman were unwarranted...but yeah...

Olive Garden?!!!??!!

If anyone comes to NYC, I recommend Soto in the West Village. Cannot be beat. I think it is like 29/30 in Zagat for food quality. Has two well deserved Michelin stars and is absolutely amazing!

[Carni]

67. I WISH

I were planning a trip there soon!

Will not be, as my budget currently probably would be more akin to a trip to Youngstown Ohio lol
(and man don't try to eat THERE-YIKES! lol)

[LoZoccolo]

32. There is no checkout line, either. n/t

[chrisa]

64. Needz moar circumcision

Also, all guns are bad and should be banned. :thumbsup:

[Very_Boring_Name]

79. he was breast feeding a circumcised pitbull at olive garden

right before walking past the reciept checker to get back to work

[abbeyco]

16. I think it needs some sort of public breastfeeding comment

but I agree, Bunny :rofl:

[robertpaulsen]

17. Literal hippie-punching!

Yep, a post with everything but smoking.

[ScreamingMeemie]

39. and cornflakes!

[Horse with no Name]

3. Depending where you live

It could be your fault for provoking him with your liberalness.

[Fumesucker]

5. +1

[Maru Kitteh]

59. wrong place

[socialist_n_TN]

69. I HOPE you just forgot your sarcasm tag....

It looks like this" :sarcasm:

[spin]

6. At he company where I worked before I retired ...

both you and the attacker would have been fired.

I never agreed with that policy but we never had many fights.

[dorksied]

11. I did almost get fired,

but I have filed multiple complaints about workplace harassment on this guy because he was always picking fights with me verbally over politics. I got a write up. No big deal. :D

[spin]

24. You did the right thing when you filed complaints against the guy ...

Excellent!

[socialist_n_TN]

71. YOU got a write up? He punched you over a verbal

disagreement and YOU got a write up?

[Cleita]

34. I had the same policy when I was a bartender.

If there was a fight or even the strong possibility of one I didn't care who was right or wrong. Both parties got kicked out because it does take two for a fight. I seldom had problems because my customers knew better. There were fellas who did get into fights elsewhere who sat like quiet, polite little rabbits on my bar shift because they knew they would never get served by me again. I had the full weight of the management and the law on my side too. It's a very effective policy.

[Sirveri]

45. So getting punched is fighting?

Sorry, I can't agree with your outlook. People should be able to express themselves without fear of violent retribution. Also politics should be kept out of the workplace (same with religion and other personal subjects). The repuke in this story failed on all counts, led off with an insult, got one in return, and then he started swinging. Don't open the door if you're not willing to deal with what comes out of it.

[Cleita]

53. Don't care. A lot of people didn't agree but what I saw

was that the guy who got punched usually started the fight verbally. If you disagree with some blowhard, it's much easier to change your seat or move away from that person than saying something where two people are under the influence of alcohol and you might get punched. The same goes for pool games where there is a disagreement. Just walk away and report the incident to the bartender or manager who will take care of the offender quietly and you can go on and finish your beer peacefully and not be kicked out. Remember restaurants and saloons are private property and you are welcome on the premises as long as you behave. As far as the work place, political arguments should be conducted off premises on the worker's own time.

[socialist_n_TN]

72. I'm sorry you CANNOT start a physical fight...

verbally. That's a contridiction that's inherent in the sentence. If it's verbal the worst that it can be is an argument. SOMEBODY has to escalate it to physicality. THAT is the person who started the fight.

[Cleita]

74. There is no fight unless there are two people involved.

Period. So both are equally guilty.

[Sirveri]

75. So if some guy randomly walks up to me in the street and punches me in the face

then according to you I started fighting them? That's insane. If I'm just standing around minding my own business doing whatever it is I do, and some guy doesn't like the way I look, is crazy, or whatever; and they just walk up and start punching me, you're saying I somehow bear responsibility.

Does this mean women who gets raped "were asking for it" because of what they were wearing (or being female)? After all, it takes two in that case too.
It takes two to crash cars, does this mean I consent to be rear ended every time I get in my car?
It takes two to make a baby, does this mean abortion should be illegal since all women have consented every time they have sex?
If some teabagging nutjob walks up to Pres Obama and punches him in the face, I guess Obama started that fight, so we should kick him out of your establishment.

[JTFrog]

10. mainly because half the people I was with believed it until I explained the situation to them

[Renew Deal]

12. You should send your story to Readers Digest

It's fascinating.

[Lex]

14. I detect a hint of skepticism.

:P

[Renew Deal]

15. From me?

Never! :D

[Tommy_Carcetti]

22. Nah, Penthouse Forum it is! nt

[Fuzz]

26. I never in a million years thought something like this would happen to me, but dear Penthouse Forum,

I've always had a fetish for amputees . . . . .yada yada yada

;)

[sweetapogee]

13. you

didn't have him arrested for battery?

[MedicalAdmin]

19. I agree - go to a clinic and go to the cops.

You could have undetected damage. You should have a pet scan, and MRI and a few more expensive diagnostic tests as well. Then SUE his ass into the ground.

Get yourself a shark like attorney who works on commission and take him/her off the leash. What do you have to lose?

[Odin2005]

18. Cool story, Bro! *SARCASM*

[nykym]

21. He most likley will not be able to collect

Reasons You Will Not Get Benefits (see #6)

IllustrationIf your boss can prove you did something wrong on purpose, you will not be able to collect benefits. You may hear the words “wilful misconduct.” This means you knew you did something that harmed the company or other employees. For example, you will not get benefits if you were fired for:

Wilful misconduct
Committing a serious crime (a felony)
Stealing
Lying (for example on your time card or job application)
Failing a drug or alcohol test that is required by law
Fighting at work
Sleeping on the job
Drinking or using drugs at work

Link:
http://ctlawhelp.org/unemployment-compensation-if-you-are-fired-from-your-job#reasonsmightnotget

it is CT but I would think it is pretty much the same from state to state.

[kath]

44. Yep - he's got about a snowball's chance in hell of collecting UE benefits.

Pretty sure that, as you say, the rules are pretty much the same from state to state.

Benefits are generally for people who lose their job through no real fault of their own, which is clearly NOT the case here.

[JVS]

25. Don't forget to be litigious.

[barbtries]

27. lol

glad you're okay.

[Warren DeMontague]

29. Wow. They let 11 yr. olds have jobs in your state?

I thought the whole point of child labor laws was so this wouldn't happen.

[felix_numinous]

30. Great comeback on the juvenile level!

Apparently this is a special skill to have these days. Liberals=+1!!:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[lumberjack_jeff]

42. Whatever. Now there's a job opening. Yay.

[LoZoccolo]

31. Cool story, bro. n/t

[ScreamingMeemie]

36. People actually use the word "libtard" in the real world? In public?

And...repiglicker?

[octothorpe]

48. I haven't see any who do...

I'm sure they exist though. I obviously wouldn't get along too well with anyone who uses the term 'libtard', and I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get along with anyone who actually uses the term 'repiglicker' either. Although, context matters. Said in a lighthearted joking way isn't bad, but anyone who says it while in a serious debate is an idiot.

[Codeine]

38. Wow.

That's a truly remarkable amount of bullshit for such a short post.

[Hugabear]

40. He's probably lucky you didn't press charges for assault and battery

n/t

[The Second Stone]

41. Sue him for assault and battery

and press charges.

[Taverner]

43. Sue him into Kindergarten!

[HughBeaumont]

46. Graphic . . .

[Bluebear]

51. Then you woke up.

[BOG PERSON]

57. i can't believe there are grown adults out there

getting into physical confrontations over something as trivial as liberalism-vs.-conservatism. unless you two already hated each other to begin with and just needed a reason to fight.

[scarletwoman]

58. I can't believe there are grown adults out there who believe everything they read on the internets.

[BOG PERSON]

61. i resent the implication that i am a grown adult

[scarletwoman]

63. Well, since it's the internet, you can claim to be whatever you want.

:)

[KingFlorez]

62. I'm really not trying to be rude

But did this actually happen?

[scarletwoman]

65. Of course it actually happened. It's on the internet, isn't it?

[Blue-Jay]

70. I'll be rude for you.

1) This is a complete fabrication.
2) A bunch of easily-manipulated folks decided to vote it up.
3) The OP had some lulz, and bragged about it to his dumb friends.

[MikeMc]

68. + 1, d. Hope you're feeling o.k. Nt.

[former9thward]

73. A phony story if there ever was one.

[deaniac21]

76. made up

[RegieRocker]

77. Screw em!!!!

[6000eliot]

78. Where on earth do you work?

People actually talk to each other this way?

[sakabatou]

80. So were you the one who got punched?
