--- Quote from: SMiLE on August 07, 2004, 10:04:55 PM ---I'll try to be respectable, and add a little perspective.
1. "The Middle Class Is Dwindeling" ? Do you have anything to back that up, or is that just the party line you're towing this week? It sounds like something from a Kerry/Edwards stump speech, and they don't know anything about the middle class because they're both multimillionaires, and in Kerry's case, a Billionaire. So their opinion on the middle class is kind of useless to me.
2. Population will be a problem? Move. I live in North Carolina, there's no population problem here. Leave Cali if the population is a problem. Again, I live in Charlotte, it's a large city, and there's jobs everywhere.
3. You bitch about us losing 'so many jobs', well if they can do it cheaper over there, why shouldn't they? That's just how it is. You also bitched about having to check yourself out at the grocery store, and wait in line, etc. Don't shop there. They'll go out of business, and you can shop with the people who do it the right way.
4. Next, you bitched that the bay is a shitty place to live, you have to drive 2 hours to work, and you have to pay a grand a month to rent an apartment. Again: MOVE. Dude, I was living in WEST VIRGINIA as a child, my dad moved me the hell out of there to a place (Charlotte) with a strong economy. MOVE if it's that bad. Don't bitch, do something about it.
5. You also found time to bitch about the education system. If you feel you're wasting your time, don't go. Simple as that.
6. If you don't like the companies you do business with, don't do business with them. Find smaller companies that care more about you as an individual consumer and see you as less of a number.
7. Banks have always charged for checking accounts, until recently, when many banks gave them away for free. Now you're bitching that some still charge.
8. Everybody WANTS you to go in debt, but what do YOU want? Do what YOU want, leave them to themselves. You seem to realize it's bad to go in debt... ... so don't do it. How is this a problem in your life? You need to relax, and take deeper breaths. You're cracking up.
9. You're wrong about most cops wanting to be assholes and harassing people. I haven't been pulled over by a cop in a year, and then the few times they did, I didn't even get a ticket.
10. How are people in America stupid? As for the Atkins diet, the evidence that it's unhealthy is shaky, and the people weren't 'brainwashed', they were looking for a better life, it was optimism that made them subscribe to the diet, and I'm not going to call anybody an idiot for being an optimist.
11. If you don't like salespeople, don't buy anything, and they will cease to exist. Capitalism. Darwinism. It's one of those two, maybe a mix of both.
12. Don't follow fads, lol. This is simple stuff, friend. If you think fads are silly, watch the fools waste their lives on them, and don't do it yourself. That's all you can do, man, you can't make people think like you do.
13. All your other little comments show me you're a pretty bitter person, but yet you think the ENTIRE COUNTRY is the problem.
In conclusion: We're all idiots, brainwashed, stupid.... but you're the one who's unhappy.

good post, if you were really representing the avg american. I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about the avg american which I encounter everyday. I have no reason to argue with you. I could waste my time typing up arguments, only to have you reply with arguemts and so on. Neither one of us will give up. I don't care if you agree with me or not. Thats fine if you live the greatest life you can, I don't care. We both have very different opinons on this stuff. I live way differently than the avg american. I respect your opinoin Trauma. Your a smart person. I don't agree with half of what you say, but I still respect your opinon. The problem is that the avg american (or person) doesn't think the way I do, or the way you do. I ain't bitching about myself, I'm bitching about what I see. LMAO @ Albertsons going out of business. Right, and cheveron will be next because they charge too much for gas. Cops thing, you have no fuckin clue. Your a white fuckin male. None the less you feel you need to obey every single law whether its worthless or not. Sure, your gonna say, well if you break the law then you deserve to get the penalty. whatever. you wouldn't know bout what I'm talking bout and I ain't gonna bother with you.
I never said the bay was a shitty place to live. quit fuckin assuming. I said the prices their are fuckin ridiculous. and fuck movin to some shithole like north carolina. I don't live in the bay, but I live very close nearby. I know what the housing situation is like. How close do you live? oh, 3000 fuckin miles away? Ok, talk to me when you fuckin know what your taking about.
Me bitching about companies I do business with? Oh you mean like SBC? Oh well, let me just go find another utility company. Oh wait, there is none.
banking thing, well thats just you sticking up for everything cause your close minded. Learn something about investing and banking then get at me.
I'm not the one going into debt. I have no problems. but america does. pull your head out of your ass and realize this. Just tell me that the avg american doesn't have a debt problem. hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha
You were exactly the person I knew would stick up for america for all this. Tell me Trauma, how is your life? How much money do you make a month? How much do you work a week? What kind of place do you live in?
I've read plenty of your posts. I know you got a degree in psychology. and you work as a goddamn vendor operator. How much did you spend on your education? How much do you make a year? A fuckin vendor operator! Good thing you got that degree, I mean who could operate arcades w/o a degree in psychology? And shit, you live such the great fuckin life, why you livin in North Carolina? Must be so much better than livin in California, right? You got different views than me, dumbshit. I'd rather live in a way too expensive place in cali over anyplace in NC anyday. And I guess telemarketers don't annoy you at all? You don't mind when your in the middle of dinner and some idiot tries selling you some timeshare? And I'm sure all your time in school was completely worthwhile right? all 12 years of gradeschool were completely worthwhile right? Thats probably why you are a fuckin vendor operator instead of a CEO right?

Damn man. Ultmiately, you're a bitch, so i don't give a fuck how your life goes. Keep crying in your cheerios, I'll keep having a great life. What the fuck do you want, man? Who owes you a fucking thing? Go out, be a man, and get what you want, stop bitching about the world because the motherfucker is going to PASS YOU BY while you're waiting for the train to stop. Fuckin' Bitchmade.

Grow the fuck up, 'my life' has nothing to do with 'my money'. I thought Kindergarten kids knew that.
Montana00:
i do hate outsourcing. Last week i called up sprint, and this indian dude starts talking to me. I swear every other sentence he spoke i had to ask him to repeat it.It just gives those million dollar companies more millions, while americans cant find jobs. But i do with trauma to some degree. Sometimes you got to move to find a city with a better job market for your profession.
Thirteen:
become a nurse, they won't outsource hospitals..... job problem solved
hector:
Hey great answer Trauma, way to back things up.
Moving is not a solution. thats just a small short term solution. Just like us going to war with Iraq (in the very, very best scenario possible) is a short term solution to terrorism. And like I said, for those who cant read right (Trauma), I not specifically talking about myself, I'm talking about the avg american. I have many advantages over many many people, I'll survive. but I look at the big picture and I see what goes on around me. I could be like Trauma and just pretend everything in America is fine and dandy and we have no problems. but that is not the reality, whether you wanna face it or not.
