    Well, not having one's cake being made doesn't place you in a position of distress like being jetisonned in a random neighborhood. What happened with Voltaire's motto?

    You are the perfect example of a Trump FanBoy. Nobody else in the world but you.

    I´m German. Trump is a moron.

    But yes, nobody else in the world than me. People who disrrespect me need to be crushed. Thats an easy principle.

    You know whats best? I forced a city employee who did something wrong with my application to book me an appointment with the leader of the city office. I could have organize the appointment myself but it felt greater to let this worm do it. He was extremly nervous.

    I had a very constructive conversation with his boss and at the end we talked about vacation. When i left i wished a good day and told him i´m suprised.

    His boss asked me what i´m suprised about and i answered him, that he is not as incompetent as his employee told me he is. One week later the employee had to look for a new job. :D

    What if the guys had gotten in and started going on about "Hitler did nothing wrong" and how much fun it would have been to rape Anne Frank, and the driver was Jewish? Nazis do go on like that and I've heard Trumpists do very similar with Mexicans and Muslims when they don't think anyone "significant" is listening.. One of the reasons I would never do Uber, or drive a Taxi, is because I don't like people who treat me like a lower order of being just because I'm directly rendering a "service" to them for money. I go out of my way to be polite to retail people, even when I don't feel like it and even if they aren't polite to me.

    I'll lay you money these guys picked a fight with the driver for some reason. 2 or 3 Trumpists demanding the radio be tuned to Rush or Alex and then start off on how we ought to punch all libs in the face? Hell, I might not have waited until we got to a gas station.

    Here they are people. A perfect example of how Republicans REALLY feel about the "common man".

    Let's line up and all of us vote for these strutting elitist pavenus to make us work through our lunch breaks so they won't have to walk 3 steps to another line. If you have ever worked retail this November is your chance to express your feelings about every customer who ever yelled at you for daring to tell them that really is the price or the store is closing and the registers are down

    Wrong in evry aspect.

    1. Im german and member of teh AfD, not of your strange american parties.

    2. No, when i waited already 5 minutes in a line i will not change lines and wait another 5 minutes. She either does her work and place a sign up to inform people her counter will close so they walk to next line or face the consequences.

    This is not how republicans really feel about the common man. Most republicans ARE the common man. You don't blame the entire batch of Apple's because one has spoiled; you get rid of it and keep moving.

    I was assuming the other line was either not there, very short or would clearly let the man in, I agree with you that one should not have to wait in line again and that is what those little signs are for. I'm an old man with a bad back and standing for a long time can be painful and even sometimes injurious to me. People who wait on queues should be aware of this.

    That being said a man with that type of haughty and superior attitude is just exactly the sort we don't want as our politicians in America, Our pols are our employees, not our servants but also not our rulers and very definitely not our "betters" as the OP's other references to "low class jobs" rather clearly implies

    If I'm buying apples and I see one is spoiled I do indeed not buy that batch without any further looking and I bet you do too.

    This guy is a German and says he's not Republican but he is defending Trump supporters and seems to be showing a Republican attitude.

    I'll ask my question again, what if the customers were Nazis and the driver was Jewish? (and this was America, since Nazis are outlawed in Germany)

    Or what if the passengers were Klansmen (with no robes) and the driver was Afro-American, I dare say that if they started to go on about ******s, jigaboos and pickaninnies they wouldn't have gotten out of the car uninjured, let alone at a gas station.

    See in this case the apples are an analogy for republicans, and you're saying its ok to judge the many because of the actions of the few. That's a pretty crappy way to think, but it is fine I won't lose any sleep over it.

    Sobo has been all over the place with his posts the last few weeks, maybe he switched from the blue pill to the red pill. Not even two weeks ago his posts would suggest he's pretty much anti America and now I do agree with you, he is leaning right, today.

    If the customer were Nazis and the driver was Jewish, that is pretty extreme but I'll extend an olive branch and give you the benefit of the doubt that that has or can happen. He would still have to drive them as long as he wasn't in any danger.

    Can't we safely assume that a native American has had white customers, or that a racist white driver has had black customers and vice versa...should those drivers be allowed to terminate a ride half way through?

    And as far as the klansmen going on saying racial slurs; that's the price we all have to pay for freedom...you can practically say whatever you want...even if it offends someone.

    You can indeed, but what you say can have consequences too. Free speech only means that the GOVERNMENT can't punish you for saying something. It doesn't apply if you're at Joe Redneck's house or in Tommy Talltrees Prius, (though actually I think we get into questions of rights hired here but that's a debate for lawyers)
