Ted's Comments

Yeah, I googled Rufio, and found a punk rock band, then something about a Peter Pan kid. Then, like the others, I wondered how that would be any better.

And obviously, the best outcome is somehow removing that atrocity completely from your skin.

That seemed staged. Just wondering what the odds are that someone would have a dashboard camera and this would happen to them. Or are they that common? Or are scammers that common?

A camera is a good idea, but knowing how many GPS units get stolen, I'm not so sure I'd want one.

Pretty neat, I thought, until I saw that it only trips levers that strike the keys of a standard keyboard.

Plus Yoda and Darth Vader fighting? I don't remember that scene in the movies.

I knew someone would rip on me for that comment, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

Firstly, I don't live in the USA, nor do I assume that everybody does. Your assumption that I am ignorant and myopic in my world view based on my nationality is invalid and prejudiced. The phrase is one that is recognizable no matter what currency you may happen to use.

You yourself recognized the statement and made an assumption based on your experiental perception of the phrase's intent.

Secondly, the article does make a point of indicating that this was done on breaks and during spare time. However, one could make the point that using police police equipment for private purposes is a violation of the trust given to the officers, and could have resulted in unnecesary wear-and-tear on the equipment (pens, paper, ink, fancy light bulbs, etc...) or made that equipment unavailable for other officers who weren't on break or their "spare time".

"Can I borrow your pen before this rapist escapes on a technicality?" "In a minute. I'm deciphering this romance novel."

Although on a much smaller scale, it's comparable to the government offical who runs up a huge dinner bill on his expense account.

Thirdly, my comment was not an "argument", since I wasn't engaged in a debate at the time, but simply making a comment on a blog post.

Fourthly, the relevancy of my comment is indisputable. The accuracy of my comment may be in dispute, as you pointed out, but the comment itself was on topic, and as further illustrated in my reductio ad absurdum argument (yes, now it's an "argument" as I chose to respond to your points almost in the manner of a debate), quite relevant. Relevancy does not equate to correctness.

Ergo, your comment is invalid.

( I do think it was a nice thing they did, by the way, so there ;P )
