Democrats in a nutshell

[rbw1966]

Did someone say "exploitation"?

I worked my ass off in school so I could get a good job that lets me spray at work. Others who worked less hard in school now have to actually work and get paid less. Explain to me again how its fair that they get some of my money?

 

Go get a job you lazy hippie jobless dems. (directed at no one in particular)

 

So when you accidentally download some pr0n from one of trask's old threads, your Ashcroftian network admin catches you, and you get fired, then are unable to land another job despite that education you worked so hard for because you unfairly got marked as a child pornographer (unfair, but not unprecedented), you will not expect nor ask for any sympathy.

 

Perhaps your sentence for child porn is light and you get out in 3 months, but are denied the right to use a computer at work as part of your punishment. But you used to be a computer programmer, which pretty much means you can't work, by court order! Will you refuse state-sponsored job training so you can find another career?

 

The preceding is known as a thought experiment, so you can pick it apart in detail for its absurdity, but you'd be missing the point.

 

So you think that it's all cool to work hard for a bit, then sit on your laurels while others work hard. Using your privilege to avoid work while living off of the work of others (i.e., being a worthless fuck) is ok with you?

 

If you think about it a certain way, you're getting the poor people's money, because their low wages allow you to purchase your J. Crew sweatshop clothing for less money. But God forbid I should question the invisible wisdom of the free market system.

hey wait a sec didn't little bush have like a 2.0 GPA (C average) in Yale? And a nose full of coke? HMMMM where were the Democrats to give him a point of GPA.

 

That liberal girl with the 4.0 GPA sounds like Al Gore. I bet she went on to invent the internet.

He wouldn't share his coke. Share and share alike.

Lets assume for a second that your absurd delusion came true. I think after I couldn't get a job in the computer industry (which I'm not in by the way), I would in fact use the state sponsored tuition if I had the option because its there. If it wasn't, I take a college loan, like I did in the past, and pay it back. State sponsored tuition is not what I have a problem with and in fact I support it when used in the right way (to retrain a person that can get a job in their current field)

 

But, realistically I don't think I'd have any problem getting another job with my degree.

 

And yes, I do think hard work pays off! I think any one how has done it would agree.

 

I'm not picking apart the rest of your post, you get my point.

 

PS - I hate designer cloths, except for Arcteryx, marmot, etc.

 

PSS - my first and second post were for fun, as in sarcastic, but this one is a serious response.

 

(sorry I couldn't reply sooner, I WAS WORKING)

I don't see that I need to be punished because of my success and hard work just because someone decided to get drunk and knocked up at 16 and has no marketable skills because of it.

 

Yet the right wingers are against legal abortion, public supplied birth control to teens, etc...hmmm

 

I consider myself a rep, yet I think abortion isn't used enough. I fully support abortion and have no problems with it. I also fully support public supplied birth control to teens. But I also think the death penalty isn't used enough . I guess I'm just all mixed up.

She replied, "Mary is another story" she continued, "she's barely making a 2.0 GPA - all she takes are easy classes, and she never studies. I'm afraid she's going to flunk out!" But to explain further she continued emotionally, "She's very popular on campus, and she's having a blast. She goes to all the parties, and

very often doesn't even show up for classes because she's too hung over. We're still friends, but we're SO different!"

 

I would try to bang Mary. Was that the question?
