I wish this were a joke but unfortunately it is not. Knowing that some young dumb slut like this can make buku bucks by speaking as if she were some role model just becuase she got knocked up and has a mother who is the queen twat amongst the far right makes me have little faith in much of the US populace (runon). news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_people_bristol_palin

Jesus Twine, maybe she has some valuable knowledge she can share, so much hate you spew.
You know, like maybe she can tell other whores how to give good head to avoid getting pregnant while in high school.
Nevermind, I'm just an asshole too.

Bristol is dumb, although not as dumb as her dumb twat mother.
And really, by her convincing dipshits to pony up 15 to 30 gr for her to talk about ...................... well, whatever the fuck it is she could possibly talk about, says that she might not be as stupid as her mom looks.

First off I can't stand Sarah Palin, but how can you call Bristol dumb? I am pretty sure all of us would love to make 15K-30K for a speaking appearance.
Would I pay her that for a speaking fee? Hell no but I wouldn't call her dumb since obviously there are people out there that will I would say she is making a pretty damn fine business decision if you ask me.

I'm not saying she is dumb for taking the money. I just don't see where she is credible enough to earn 15k to 30k for speaking appearances. Just because you make good money doesn't mean you are smart.

I think what twine is trying to say is that a world in which a chick such as Bristol can command fees of up to 30k to speak to a group of people is a SERIOUSLY fucked up world.
But then again, that's fairly obvious ... and I can think of alot better examples of the fucked-up-ness of the world. But that is neither here nor there.
What's really mind boggling is the fact that she wouldn't be able to do shit like this if there wasn't a demand for her services. That means there is a lot of retarded ass people out there. But then again, that is fairly obvious too.

She wouldn't be in this position if she didn't have a child out of wedlock. Let's reward someone for sinning. Her mother was probably applauding Dan Quayle when he made his infamous Murphy Brown statements; however, she is supporting her daughters career which is based on an immoral act.

I agree that it's crazy that people would pay that kind of money to hear her talk, I also find it funny that people give a shit where or what celebs have for breakfast or who they are currently screwing but that shit sells Millions of $ worth of magazines and TMZ seems to make a shit ton of money off of it.
To each there own I guess.

I am not a fan of Keith Olbermann but he I think he is right when he said that the United States is becoming a country that celebrates ignorance. The Palins are just a prime example.

Well, it's all true, but don't you agree that it is getting worse? Almost daily? Yeah. Fact-checking and rational analysis are becoming lost disciplines amongst the average American, rendering them fodder for propaganda and emotive argumentation. That is a big fucking problem. You can't have a functioning democracy or sustainable society that way, because reality always wins in the end. Some motherfuckers can get rich off of it though. And they do, as we witness in real time.

My job (auto claims rep) allows me to encounter many dumbfucks and I never cease to be amazed at the ignorance of some people.
Example: the other day, this one lady (a claimant. She is not our policyholder) called me to bitch wanting her rental car extended for another few weeks. The rub: she's already been paid. She wanted the rental extended because- as she puts it- her credit score is so bad that no bank is willing to give her a loan. Then it gets even better. She asks ME to help her with getting a fucking loan!!! Um... what makes you think I am a fucking loan officer or give a rat's shit about your credit problem?? THEN she also made sure to ask for more money for the stress of the whole "not being able to get a loan" thing.
Un-fucking-believable. I told her"no" to all requests. I was nice about it, but it was tough. I was soooo damned tempted to explain that her fucked-up view of reality probably explains a lot of her credit problems. But alas.... I didn't.

It's everybody's fault but hers, right? I'll never forget a call while I was working customer service for mortgage. I lady called up and was "FLABERGASTED" that we were charging interest on her mortgage!!!!! I actually had to paraphrase her frustration a few times to really digest that her disgust was that we were charging ANY interest. After the call I went to my supervisor, who was pretty cool, and asked if it got recorded. It did, and he was fucking rolling laughing at her ignorance.

I was a field adjuster for Progressive in Los Angeles from 1988 - 1991. It was without a doubt the most fun I have ever had at a real job. The people you ran into were hilarious.

Sometimes it's funny and sometimes you want to pull the other person through the phone and slap them.

I hated the adjusting job from a desk, but being a field rep was great. We handled the desk stuff, too, but also inspected the damage, did scene investigations, did in-person stuff at attorneys' offices, mediations - basically every aspect of a claim from reporting to trial. I spent 2 or more days each week out in the field running around the LA area. It was the best job I ever had in the real world.

I've handled a few claims from the NY area on a "rollover" basis when other teams are backed up. Everything is a confrontation with those people. Everything. And everyone is out to fuck them over. Such is their attitude.

Although if I did it now, it wouldn't be so bad. The reason it sucked at the time was let's see- training myself out of a fucking book from Day One while also being assigned claims my first day & this was my first fucking job out of college, my boss not residing in that office so I would have to call him for any question and I had many since I never got any fucking training and you could never get ahold of the guy, the people of the area expecting you to complete their claim the same damned day, etc, etc. It was mostly my douche-nozzle boss. The thought of getting him up on a roof with me for an inspection sometime and pushing the fucker off entered my mind more than once.

Fuck all you pussies. I worked inbound/outbound customer service for Scamoco Motor Club back in college. It was a giant floor with like 300 phones and computers. Nationfuckingwide. The reimbursement amount was so shitty we had like 1 fucking servicer in NYC and everytime someone called in from out there, it was inevitiably some prick from Connecticut whose Benz wouldn't start and they were always pissed off when I told them our servicer would be 2 hours or wouldn't come at all and they were on their own. And then to top it off, I couldn't even use the computer to look up another towing company because they were so paranoid about liability if something happened.
Freeways also sucked because around cities they are restricted and the state only let certain tow trucks on the road, and of course they all laughed at the 12 fucking dollars or whatever our club offered on reimbursements.
The best was this day I rolled in hung over as hell and some asshole from Maryland called to tell me he drove over some tire spikes at some office park and had 4 flat tires. He gets on the phone and rambles off some location as if I know what the fuck he is talking about, then gives me his card number and all that shit (which I need to start the computer program) so I get to the point about location and ask him to tell me where the fuck he is at which point he proceeds to ask me if I had a rough night the night before because he already told me where he was. I told him I have never been to the bumblefuck office park in the middle of suburban Maryland he was talking about and he got all smart with me and said something shitty again questioning my intelligence, at which point I indicated that I could see my car from the window and it had four fully inflated tires on it so I must not be as dumb he thinks I am. I had to talk to the supervisor for that one, but that was getting toward the end of my time there as I literally couldn't take it after about a year.
I think that job really solidified my disdain for proles. I cannot imagine the shit you guys dealing with insurance shit have to listen to day in and day out.

And everyone is out to fuck them over. Such is their attitude. A good friend of mine is a claim rep for an auto insurance company. He has some pretty funny and scary stories, and he works in Eastern Iowa. He said he has feared for his life a few times with people bitching at him that he wouldn't give them more money even though they have admitted to be wrong or were filing a fraudulent claim. He even said that after they have agreed to a settlement some ask for more money. There is no way in hell I could do that job dealing with people everyday that feel that society owes them something or that somebody is always out to get them. Unfucking real some of the stories he tells me.

Damn, I feel like a winner with my job! LOL Seriously, though it's all in how you look at it. Sometimes, I can laugh it off and sometimes I am in a pissy mood and just don't want to hear their shit. It really just depends. It helps that my boss is cool as hell and actually realizes the shit we put up with since he was in our shoes at one time. And he always backs up our decisions or our approach in hanling jackasses. That helps a lot. I had a guy call return my call on Thursday night after I had made 2 calls to him. I basically told him (another claimant) that I don't show via the California DMV website that he is the registered owner and therefore, I ain't working on "his" claim until he can fax me a copy of the current registration for the car with his name on it. Captain Douchenozzle calls me back and leaves a VM for me merely bitching that he doesn't have time to listen to his voicemail as he has to actually work for a living... somehow implying that I don't I guess. And he didn't even address the whole "not being the registered owner" thing. I just laughed and documented the hell out of my file in case he gets one of our stupid fucking customer surveys. Thanks for sharing some stories though guys!! Makes me realize I am not the only one that has had to deal with bumblefucks.
