Bolas 5 #76 January 27, 2010 Quote Quote Quote Quote >wrong again Bill, I did the chores at my house . . . If you think that household chores paid for your education, then you're off by several orders of magnitude. > maybe I didn't hand the school cash but I did contribute to pay for > my education. That's great! It made you feel good about yourself while other people paid for your education, which gave you the background to be a more productive citizen. you are missing the point, it is not that you paid 100% but that you contributed to it. maybe the actual cost you contribute when young is very small, but you did contribute, and as you get older your contribution gets larger until you are taking care of yourself and then are helping someone else to do the same. I see to many kids nowdays that haven't learned anything about taking care of their responsibilities until they are out of college. their contribution to their own welfare was zero until that point now they are overwelmed buy having to do it all at once. they have no work ethic, ability, or desire to work for their own prosperity. We have less and less people to pay for more and more people because of attitudes like yours. Not saying your attitude is not nobel, but it does breed lazyness and entitlement attitudes from the children and harms them and us in the future. Exactly. Even if a portion of the current generations are lost causes to this concept it doesn't mean the current generations children have to be. They're gonna need all the work ethic and self sufficiency they can get to pay for all the debt we've accumulated... Hey Both of you get back to work.... I get to start collecting my Social Security in a few years.... its my entitlement and I fucking earned it. GET TO WORK.. Working right now and have been since 6 AM. You have every right to your Social Security as you earned it. Sure you were forced to save it, couldn't choose the way you invested it, or even use it as financing collateral, but it's still yours. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's an illusion. The percentage of assholes in any given group is fairly constant across the board, however, in the US since Christians make up a higher percentage of the population than others, it appears as if there are more Christian assholes. Well, in fact, there are, but only in sheer numbers, not per capita.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnealtx 0 #80 January 27, 2010 Quote Quote This is one of the problems with liberals is that they teach people how to collect a free dinner but not how to work for their dinner, this in turn teaches how to get a free ride through life. Wait, wait, wait . . . doesn't the Lord's prayer specifically say "GIVE US this day our daily bread"? Wasn't it Jesus that fed the 5,000? So, you're saying that the State should adopt Christian principles? Mike I love you, Shannon and Jim. POPS 9708 , SCR 14706 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I obviously can't speak for quade, but I'd say that there are some Christian principles which also happen to be principles that are beneficial for running a state.

Sure, or the mantle of "conservative values" or the mantle of "a servant of the people" or whatever. But that's the fault of the person doing it, not the fault of the disguise they decide to wear.
