Lol, "I don't want government but where's my social security check?"

LOL. They took it, so why shouldn't we want it back?

Exactly. It's only an "entitlement" if you're drawing money you never invested in the program. Illegal aliens, dipshidts too lazy to work, thugs like that. For the rest of us, it's probably the only retirement option we had that was worth putting money into.

Corporations fold, rob the retirement fund and give it to CEO's who make every year what most of us made in a lifetime, and then shuffle the top of the pyramid and create a "new" company with the money they stole from their workers.

The advantage here is that we can vote the people in charge out of office. But, we almost never do. And they count on that, that and brainwashing the young into thinking that the folks who are receiving the benefits are getting something for nothing. Soon, those young folks will be old, and suddenly they'll realize that they whined so much about the money that the old folks were getting "for nothing", and now their money's gone, too.

Wah! Wa-aah!

Not sure what the wah wah was for but I never said it was an entitlement or that you didn't earn it or anything else. I was just trolling with a juxtaposition of hating or not liking the government vs. relying on a government social programs hahaha.

Toodles and smooches!

Very sorry about that, that comment was just me ranting about general societal attitudes and not aimed at you, at all. Seriously. Pretty much the whole thing had nothing to do with you in particular, and more to do with other stuff from other places. My bad for not recognizing that you'd take it as directly spoken to you.

No problem Steve. Thanks for clearing it up. You're one of my favorite reads on the forum.

Re: $300 lighter vs $3 lighter

Have a brand new xikar single torch that I only filled once. Went to refill it and was doing it one handed. Lighter fell over and something from the bottom, I'm assuming a plastic o-ring, went flying. Couldn't find it. Lighter won't fill now, gas just goes everywhere. Anyone know where I can find a replacement o-ring for it?. I'd really hate to toss it.

Xikar approved my allume lighter, a few months ago. For warranty. I had a crack in the fuel window. So if it's still broken I would just try to fill out their claim application.
