Viva the truth. She has a job, Monica doesn't plus Meg is white while Monica is brown.

NTRPRNR1 wrote: Worthy of Dickens? Our nation's wealth gap is a moral gap Published: Sunday, June 03, 2012, 11:00 AM [EXCERPT:]....A similar gap is evident in America today. It is a fact that just 1 percent of our population has more than 40 percent of our country’s wealth. There are more billionaires in the U.S. than anywhere else in the world. At the other extreme, one in seven Americans lives in poverty. In just the last 30 years, the chasm between the classes has increased by 25 percent, resulting in the United States having the fourth-largest economic disparity in the world.... The wealth gap continues to grow.... The vastly different opportunities available to individuals based upon the social class they happen to be born into are as evident in modern-day United States as they were in 18th-century France. If a child is born into a poor family and cannot afford a proper education or a fitting environment to grow up in, even strenuous diligence might lead to little or no change in the quality of the child’s life. Whereas if a child is born into an upper-class family, she will be able to afford private schooling, tutoring and a lifestyle matched to the child’s wants and needs.(Cont.) http://www.pennlive.com/editorials/index.ssf/... The rate of upward social mobility is now higher in most European nations than it is in America. If you are born into poverty in America you are likely to stay there.

If you are born into poverty in America you are likely to stay there. I agree. That is precisely why there IS class warfare in America right now. It's sorely needed. The "regulars" must wrest control from the privileged if we ever hope to provide our children and theirs with opportunities to reach their potential. Bright people are not all born into wealth. We don't have any brains to waste because of birth station. I've been saying this ever since I started posting on these threads. If we don't stop this run-away freight train, your birth station will define you for life. That is not the America into which I was born, and because I am so grateful that I could better my own life (after a rocky start), I am deeply convicted that others should have an opportunity to be their best as well. This government is building an impoverished class of people who will find it almost impossible to escape the environment into which they were born. The best chance of them doing so is through DECENT public education for ALL children - not just the genetic lottery winners.

Why? Because there's no better way to piss off an insecure male, a homophobic troll, or a flaming racist than to call them fgts. Is it offensive? Yes! It's meant to be offensive. It usually follows the rule of quid pro quo. ¡El que me la hace me la paga! People know that the first swing is free - the second is not. I don't put up with jiveass bllsht for too long. I don't generally start "personal" sht unless there's a good reason, and, I rather eat sht before I retaliate against someone that I respect even when we strongly disagree. But I do have limits, I'm rebellious, and I will latch on until the matter is settled. I don't buy into the "Ooops, I was kidding!" defense. FTBS!¡El que me la hace me la paga! Is it homophobic? Well.., you guys will have to make your own individual judgments; I laid out my argument in previous posts. [I'll go over the rest of your comment off the thread if that's okay with you.] "Is it offensive? Yes! It's meant to be offensive." That's the whole point. How do you think Mr. Crapper might feel having everyone use the name of his invention in a derogatory or offensive manner over and over until the word "crapper" and later shortened to just "crap" became internationally known as and forever associated to feces or the act of defecating? I bet if he knew then what we all know today, Mr. Crapper would have called his invention something else. I'm sorry if I hurt anyone's feelings. That wasn't my intent. I just wanted to hurry up and say those things now while it's still relatively socially acceptable. I'll get to the "trailer park tramps", "rednecks", "white trash", "wetbacks", "anchor babies", "liberals", "conservatives" and "Tea Bags" later. There is still lots of time before those demographics are considered "protected". The good news is, not a whole lot of people cheered at my insensitive attempt at humor and that tells me that there may be hope for our society yet. Who knows? Until then: Relax Everything Will Be Alright! REWBA

What does the color of my heart have to do with anything between you and Paul's wife? Hehehe Actually, I believe the dude when he says he didn't get a PM from Quirky's gloryhole and their merry band of misfit mothers. I don't know if you've figured it out yet but Jack is openly gay and you know those homophobes wouldn't send a PM to Jack for fear of their computer catching aids. Those trolls have talked about you and your ex ole lady on the open forums several times and each time they do you blow a fuse, trip a breaker and go off. Jack seems to be one of those passive readers who really doesn't say a whole lot unless someone says something that really tickles his fancy. I think ole Jack Mack was as happy as a faggot in a dick tree listening to you dog out the talibaggers until you performed that illegal gay wedding. That's when Jack came out with all his guns ablaze. I was really sorry that I missed it when it was happening cause I would have really like to interject some of my own witless humor into that exchange. I didn't get to say anything until the next day when I read the exchange of fire between you two. By that time the fire was out and all I got to do was make up a hiccup joke just in time to be called a respectable smart@$$. We were all in the military, you, Jack and I. And that was in a time when don't ask don't tell was just Miranda rights. When whitey was screaming "Speak English!" at the Puerto Ricans everyone was tossing gay jokes around. The Puerto Ricans had legal recourse to the insensitive remarks but the closet fags had to keep their mouths shut and take it like a man...or come out and get "drummed out" of the military. You do know that the term "Drummed Out" was coined after George Washington caught Lieutenant Gotthold Frederick Enslin and another dude having anal sex. They made the Lieutenant put his coat on inside out and marched him off the post to the beat of a drum. True story. Really! I don't know what they did to the other dude. Maybe George Washington kept him close by for those cold winter nights at Valley Forge. lol You know what? You're one crazy mofo. I was right when I said it couldn't get more tortuous - except I hadn't realized how tortuous it really was. It took me 3 hours piece it out. You pulled an Aesop. You wrote a satiric fable. LOL! Ohhh maaan!!! Ohhh maaan!!! I knew something was weird from the first reading. It took 3 hours to figure out that how methodically weird it really is.

Because I can't always tell when you're serious. In fact, you rarely are and I should know better. When I do figure out your attempt at humor it takes me a whole lot of fkn time to try to figure out the punchline. My bad not yours. I should be reading fiction instead of killing time in Topix and answering office emails. I'll ask you one thing in return. I know there's an in-between-the-line in every crazy sht you write, I know that much, will you please give me a freaking clue when you're serious? I mean, when should I take your message literally? You keep me in constant state of suspense and scratching my head. LOL! Seriously. ...and yeah, I came across a little angry, shall we say? I offer my sincere apologies. I was a fool and I fell for it.

Once, when my wife was going through a c-section, I waited out in the hallway of the maternity ward of a military hospital when this blonde haired blue eyed lady in full labor was wheeled down the hallway. Her blonde haired blue eyed husband was holding her hand as he walked alongside the gurney down the hallway and into the birthing room. The door shut but I could hear that lady as she chastised her husband with profanities interrupted by screams. Then I could hear a the sound of a babies cries and then silence. The blonde haired blue eyed man appeared out of that room with a look on his face that could only mean something tragic had happened. A nurse followed him out and attempted to comfort him as they disappeared through the double doors at the end of the hallway. Not knowing what had happened and imagining the possibilities I felt sick to my stomach. Was the baby dead? His wife? there was no sound coming from that room, then, a babies cry's...oh no! I thought to myself. The mother! Sadness started setting in and then a doctor came out of the room with a big grin on his face and then, behind him two nurses pushed a baby bed out of the room on their way to the nursery area and as the crib passed me I couldn't help but notice that the baby was black as coal and then I knew the mama didn't die in childbirth. What a relief!

William Ross Wallace (1819-1881) THE HAND THAT ROCKS THE CRADLE IS THE HAND THAT RULES THE WORLD. BLESSINGS on the hand of women! Angels guard its strength and grace. In the palace, cottage, hovel, Oh, no matter where the place; Would that never storms assailed it, Rainbows ever gently curled, For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world. Infancy's the tender fountain, Power may with beauty flow, Mothers first to guide the streamlets, From them souls unresting grow— Grow on for the good or evil, Sunshine streamed or evil hurled, For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world. Woman, how divine your mission, Here upon our natal sod; Keep—oh, keep the young heart open Always to the breath of God! All true trophies of the ages Are from mother-love impearled, For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world. Blessings on the hand of women! Fathers, sons, and daughters cry, And the sacred song is mingled With the worship in the sky— Mingles where no tempest darkens, Rainbows evermore are hurled; For the hand that rocks the cradle Is the hand that rules the world.
