You can only have compassion for those poster children of compassion, ethnic persons or persons who are unfortunate or lazy. Government oppression is good, but economic oppression is bad.

See, you just proved my point, Gidge, even you don't believe in unity. I win.
So you are saying that those who make 30,000 a year dont work hard? I am guessing some of them work a hell of a lot harder than you and your 20,000 CG posts do.

People don't want to hear how pissed you are because you have a tax hike on your 300K annual income.

All I am saying is enough with the stupid "poor me" schtick, when a few days ago you are posting about owning a pair of shoes for every sport you have ever played.
Anybody here has the capacity to own most of what they want. We have college graduates, with good minds, and with reasonable opportunity and most are young. So I envy them their youth and the opportunity for a good life.


The crushing responsibility of obligations would I sometimes exchange for the lack of obligation even without the chance of earning a few dollars. It is no insult.

For many years, I drove nothing but a used Dodge Colt with a hundred thousand miles. We have some who are currently down on their luck, not permanently unless Obama begins a permanent stratification of society.

We know that socialism has invaded this board when an unfunny post by BarbaraGordon gets this kind of run. Now I'm really pissed off.

Arch, I love you and so I am going to tell you that it's in your best interest to back off at this point. You're going to re-read this stuff next week and wish you hadn't been half so candid.

Did you not read the new rules for CG humor, mandated by the Obama campaign?

You're just a poor loser because she is funnier than you right now.

How can you imply that? There are some who earn ten thousand dollars who work hard.

But certain stresses are different. At least from what i've seen which is a little not a lot.

It is hard to come home to struggle to pay bills. And often the work is thankless, and not enjoyable, but for the most of the time, those jobs don't require you to bring the work home. Take the entrepreneur, who sometimes is on the verge of losing everything, wondering if she'll be on the street because payments didn't come, and if her employees will be on the street. It's a different kind of stress.

You are telling me that those who make 30,000 a year dont bring their work home? That entrepreneurs have more stress than others?

I think I have seen it all. Tell my mom who lost her job today because she has spent to much time in the hospital with my dad the last few months that she doesnt work hard and doesnt have to bring stress home with her.
