Dearest Flu, You make too many arguments out of the silence. You have no idea of my charitable giving contributions and or the percentage the rebate check is of that per annum.
Yup, you figured me out. What arguments, what insight. You make a statement about self righteousnous that folks here never claimed to be. You're judge people , And if I were guessing, I'd say you probably are one of those hypocritical religious freaks that love to shove that "value system" right up other people's asses while you live by however the hell you want (except I would be offending the real of the pious people who live up to what they believe).
I assure you my donations were generous last year, both to needy and subprime folks in terms of tax dollars. But nevertheless you're missing the point. (1) Gov can't be affording to do this. (2) A hell of lot of americans spend beyond their means. Add the two together you get more irresponsible spending and a delayed more-indebtness that we don't necessarily need to pay, but our lucky future generations do. This is borrowed money (and to some extend) borrowed money from China.
Perhaps you're one of those baby boomers that are only thinking about yourself and what you need when you're hobbling around in your Depend garments and don't give a shit about every other generation that comes after you. Ok fine, that's great, I come to accept to short of selfishness that permeates among some Americans. Some of us do care about where our tax dollars goes, even if it's a few hundred, few thousands, or however amount.
Let me get this straight, if someone makes a purchase that seems ostentation to you, then they have no ability to have a social justice meter?…Also, did you skip logic or philosophy in community college.
I hardly call spending $1200 or $2000 landscaping being ostentatious. But whatever floats your boat.
Anyway, I'm was trying to follow your logic of how disagreeing with the way gov is spending the rebate or being a little irritated with the gov's irresponsibility is some how linked to an apathy for 100million of people starving that you so suggested. And though I normally wouldn't have made any comments about "community college educated" people (because there are plenty of people I have come across with JC education with fascinating experiences)… you do seem to be doing a pretty good job demonstrating the stereotype community college dropout that you so describe here.
I think Warren Buffet speaks to that issue. What about Bill Gates. Both spend the kind of money you will never see on dispensable items, yet makes massive contributions.
I would agree there. I admire both of them (aside from Microsoft stomping itself on innovation and Balmer deciding to purchase Yahoo at an unbelievable overpriced price). But, no offense, you're not exactly Buffet/Gates material.
Spend some time looking in the mirror and get back to me. Also, did you skip logic or philosophy in community college.
Yes, I must have missed those philosophy classes in those community colleges when i was in 8th and 9th grade. Were you the 30 year old guy asking me how to light the bunsen burner in that Chemistry 101 class i took in the summer?
Your thoughts are as thick as soup. By the way, do you do anything else beside give opinions? Your post are quite prolific, I have to give you that.
Poo poo. I'm going back to bed. Wah wah wah.
Happy gardening, and good luck with that short sale 🙂
