The real question is was he always a asshole or did he become one. From what I understand he had a period of several years where he could not speak due to a neurological condition. That's going to really mess with you in ways I can't even imagine.
It's hard to imagine someone who was as aware of how terrible corporate America was becoming a right-wing nut job though. On the one hand he was pretty rich and money changes people and like I said he had that neurological problem
I am reminded of senator Jo

You remember Donald Trump's shitty comments about Rob Reiner right after he died?
You just did the same thing.

Reiner was murdered in his home along with his wife by thier drug-addicted child. Scott died of refusing treatment of his own will after listening to supplement grifters. What's the equivalence here?

Sounds like Scott Adams was a victim in your telling of the story.
Assholes blame the victims. There's your equivalency.

Being a victim of your own ignorance and stupidity is valid. See: Steve Jobs and treating his aggressive pancreatic cancer with fruit.

Rob Reiner should have faced reality about his seriously fucked up kid a long time ago, according your assholey way of thinking.

And you should face the reality that whataboutism is the absolute worst way to try to make a point.
What, are you trying to get a rise out of me with your "well whatabout Rob Reiner!!!!!111!1one!"? How is that germane to any conversation happening right now, other than you trying to justify a bad actor's bad behavior for reasons I will never understand?
Please grow up and realize that everything doesn't have to be "us or them" and making it "us or them" when it doesn't have to be makes you into a political hack that can be safely ignored as someone without objectivity.

Another retard thinks "whataboutism" applies when it doesn't.
Look upthread, you context-challenged clown. Yeah, the post where I point out the cowardly & awful taste of talking shit about someone right after they died in a terrible way. Trump was out of line, and so was the self-upvoting dipshit I was replying to.
Now that I've emptied your mental colostomy bag for you, can you see the point?

No one who uses the word "retard" as an insult has any opinion worth having, let alone listening to. We knew that about you already, though.

I say "retard" and you come running.
The jokes write themselves.

Nice placeholder. Now that you've had some time, have you got any jokes?
byMachineShedFred ( 621896 ) writes:
And someone that uses ad hominem attack and vulgarity to try to make a point, doesn't have a point to make or is very bad at making it.
Now that you've proven you can be safely ignored with no valuable insight lost, it sounds like we can both go about our business.

When you have obviously taken leave of reason and indeed continuity of a conversation, there's nothing left but to give an accurate description of the behavior I observe.
Disagree, fine. Make your case and I will respond in kind. But spewing dickish non sequiturs gets you the well-earned bucket of shit dumped on you in return.
