Shopping Cart Theory: the ultimate test of whether someone is a dick or a decent person | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 76452938 United States 05/17/2020 11:32 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | ... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78866144 The problem with your premise, is that to assume that some course of action is right and correct while other courses of action are unright or incorrect... I'd completely false. Morality is a psychological concept not absolute reality. If mortality were something real, then i would ask you to show it to me physically. Show me a photo of morality. Not people acting in a moral manner. Show me actual morality. Can't do, because it only exists in your mind. That being said, then the concept of morality can simply be replaced with a other concept to see if your premise holds water. So- some cultures think that looking other people in the eyes is threatening and unwanted. So they don't do it. To them, the obvious right and correct course of action is to NOT look others in the eyes. But in America, it is considered valuable to the interaction to look others in the eyes. So Americans do that, and in their minds, it is the correct and right course of action. So now we have one concept with 2 different courses of action considered right and correct depending on the value attached to that concept. So your premise doesn't hold water. Incorrect. If there is a God, then there is right and wrong. And there is Truth with a capital T. And there is a God. God gave us the ten commandments, objective right and wrong. Stealing, adultery, lack of love...those are all objectively wrong. Leaving carts for the cart boy is not an objective wrong. ^^^^^DING DING DING^^^^ The problem with the world today If it's a store where cart corrals have been built for that purpose, and you just leave it where you want to leave it because you're to lazy to walk it over to the nearest corral, which are there for a reason... Then yes, it's an objective wrong. Laziness. Sloth, to stick with the 10 commandments argument. Then you come up with excuses for why you don't take it to the corral: Dangerous parking lot, I might get hit!!! (Dear Lord) Or, you can be the 100th person to argue that it creates a job for someone. (Ugh) If you don't take it to the cart corral due to laziness, it is an objective wrong. |

I push the cart even farther away in the parking a lot, and sometimes I throw it in a bush too... Ha ha ha ha I'm savage! I really hate it when the wheels lock up before I reach my car. At that point, you just leave it wherever it is. It's on the supermarket if a car hits it. |

Why? Because they wasted at least 15 minutes of my time in line while helping some worthless African figure out what sort of cheese she could by with her welfare card. |

A person who is unable to do this is no better than an animal, an absolute savage who can only be made to do what is right by threatening them with a law and the force that stands behind it. The Shopping Cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society. I'm confused, return it to where? There are cart returns all over the parking lots, it's usually like 10 feet from the car. Are you saying just leaving it in the middle of the parking lot or ? Not following this at all. |

God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me. That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave.” -Stonewall Jackson "The Bible that is falling apart usually belongs to a person who is not." - Charles Spurgeon “I apprehend no danger to our country from a foreign foe . . . Our destruction, should it come at all, will be from another quarter. From the inattention of the people to the concerns of their government, from their carelessness and negligence, I must confess that I do apprehend some danger. I fear that they may place too implicit a confidence in their public servants, and fail properly to scrutinize their conduct; that in this way they may be made the dupes of designing men, and become the instruments of their own undoing. Make them intelligent, and they will be vigilant; give them the means of detecting the wrong, and they will apply the remedy.” “If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our country will go on prospering and to prosper; but if we and our posterity neglect its instructions and authority, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all our glory in profound obscurity.” -Daniel Webster |

Obvious weed/ cig or just plain putzing freshair phone friends time waste break. If you worked in a strip mall you could probably even go grab fast food in the complex and be back after ' rounding up the carts' - they expect 15 min or so. My first job was bagger at grocery store - I offered to take out EVERYONE'S bag just for the leisure and outside time and not dealing with the bagging part and the monotonous mind numbing beep beep beep ring up. Plus - usually got a buck or two. But yeah - the douchebags who don't even have a bunch of brats to deal with or a baby to put in the car they dont want to leave to return cart who are literally one or 2 slots away from the return and don't even put it up on curb but just leave it there in the space so even another car can't pull in - they should fuckin die. Usually some snobby self entitled cunt in a mercedes or bmw, some old fart in a cadillac, redneck or otherwise garbage person, or some small limp dick insecure douche with a dually who thinks they own the world and that the peons should cater to their whims of assholeishness. Occasionally it's the TOTAL WASTE OF LIFE IRREDEEMABLE TRASH PIECE$ OF $HIT who park in two spaces. These dirtbag whore$ should be vandalized at every opportunity, maybe with a little note that says ' space this, you entitled shit stain cunt'. |

What I will probably do, is walk away with very few words, then stalk you, everyone around you, your loved ones, etc etc... gain as much information about you as I can over the next few days... and then "go from there sport".

Quoting: Centurionx Is that so ? Well I guess I pass, like you said it's just the right thing to do :) You don't find it odd that the person who is calling this a "litmus test" to determine whether a person is "decent" seems to think it is okay to label people he does not know, and who do not behave the way he thinks as right, as "animals" or "absolute savages," and wants to circumvent people's free will by forcing and threatening people to do what he wants. He seems to be advocating for laws into areas of life that don't really require them. This seems to be par for the course, and what I have noticed many people attempting to use this covid crisis to accomplish. Can we quit calling them Karens, and call them what they are, statists. There are a lot of people who seem to want to circumvent the free will and rights of others, and the justifications that they try to create to do it are rather absurd. In fact, it looks like the Democrats had their Chicom buddies drop a bioweapon in order to help satiate their lust to tell others what to do and how to live. Pretty sick, if you ask me. I'd rather be on the side of an inconsiderate shopping cart leaver behinder, than those who would exploit a Chinese bioweapon in order to try to one up the Chicoms on statism taken to the level of end times Revelation. |
