I never once even looked at any of the political bulls*&t mailers before they hit the recycle can. Money well spend by the political criminals, I mean candidates.

(So as not to insult anyone or violate subsim's naughty word policy... this post will be using the symbol <o> in place of every expletive i would otherwise use freely, you are welcome to use your imagination to fill in all of the <o> spots with the appropriate filth)

Of course i recycle... whats more environmentally <o> friendly? Printing this <o>, and using jet airplanes and jeeps and vans transporting it all over the <o> country so that it can be recycled OR not printing this <o> crap in the first place???

Dude, recycling is not the issue here.



I'm talking about the reality that hundreds of millions of dollars are spent by our <o> Federal Government on mailing out useless nonsense.

its <o> idiocracy

its the epitomy of the wastefulness of western society at it's best.

And i maintain that the <o> USPS would serve NO FUNCTION if there were to be a 3 day hault on junk mail... the mail man wouldn't even have a single <o> reason to drive down my <o> street 80% of the month.

Yup. The only good thing I get nowadays is an absentee ballot, or a parcel that could have been shipped otherwise.

Loads of the stuff here in the UK as well....I simply recycle it unless I see my neighbour across the road who has a double garage (the posh bugga).

He stores it and 'weighs' it in once a year and is happy to boast it takes him away fishing for a weekend once a year

Does he bring back any fish for you?

The post office WANTS junk mail. With email all the rage, the postal service is losing a LOT of money and junk mail helps to pay the difference unfortunately.

exactly what i been sayin... what a rip off.

When they go from being a legitimate operation to just a circulator of pointless crap it is beyond time to pull the plug.

Today, i have converted all of my home and business bills to online pay and billing.

The post office now has NO reason to come here anymore.

if it werent technically federal property, i would remove my mailbox.

If you give me a 6-pack of Bud, a baseball bat and let me borrow your car I know some kids who will remove it for you.
