What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Why can't they be returned?

I don't know the american rules, but if the flaut was already there when it came from the store we have a two year guarentee. . .and it is them that has the burden of evidence.

It depends on the store; Family Dollar won't let you.

Is there no national standard?

It is weird. . .so they are allowed to sell you broken goods and there is nothing you can do about it?

Yep; all you can do is stop shopping there. Which I will do, trust me.

Hmm...maybe I should assign my country to Mordor; but I don't think it would fit. I guess I'll assign Mordor to the US!

Working afternoons. It tosses my entire day. Working on a Saturday afternoon means not having time to accomplish anything during the day, spending the best hours inside, and leaving late at night too tired to do anything but collapse into bed.

And worse... the hour leading up to when you're supposed to be in work. What am I supposed to be doing when I only have twenty minutes before I have to walk out the door?

Family events that are scheduled at the last minute so I have to miss them b/c of work. *grumbles* *prays for patience*

Politicians, particularly those in the U.S., should be assigned to Mordor. I am dreading the upcoming presidential elections and the political dog-and-pony-show that is trotted out every four years with the same lackluster crew of misbegotten candidates who speak around issues (in keeping with the aims of their corporate patrons), while retaining the stilted status quo.

I am reminded of a quote Mark Twain wrote over a century ago that still holds true:

Quote:

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
