of course there are exceptions, there are plenty of rich assholes but I am saying that if there was a way to measure the percentages, rich people are generally nicer than poor people. generally, people are poor because they are stupid and/or lazy. we may like to think that rich people are just lucky and are all from wealthy families, but it's not true.

We're post apocalyptic more or less. The bottom has fallen out. Anything you could have said about class when capitalism as we knew it was "stable" doesn't apply now. People in the arts, for the most part, well educated poor. People with BAs, educated poor. People who picked the wrong horse to back, furniture stores, real estate, are poor now. Yes, a lot of rich people worked hard to get where they are. Their dipshit children did not. For every one of these nice rich people (who by the way, would never eat at an I Hop, I'm poor as dirt but still spring for better restaurants than that if I decide to go out for dinner) there is an anthropoid golden retriever, blonde, overbred and incapable of doing anything but breeding with the pedigreed doofus picked out for it. You cannot say that the working poor are fat, slackjawed rednecks because you see fat, slackjawed rednecks around you. The urban working poor and the minstrel class are different, the number of jobs available in the middle is different. Grad students are becoming just as "worthless" as the uneducated. Teaching positions are fewer and farther between. I understand what you mean about rich people being more polite and less angry than poor ones. But you also have to consider what the poor have to be angry about as opposed to what the rich have to be angry about.

that's basically what I was saying. I was just mad because I went into mcdonalds the other day and this group of basically canadian chavs were harrassing people.

I will admit that I was wrong about fat people being poorer on average because obesity is more prevalent (at least in america) among higher income families.

I'm sorry to hear things are still shitty in the usa, canada is fine employment-wise.

Dude. Bacon is totally hot right now. I did a Google image search on "Suicide Girls" and came up with three different pics of bacon tattoos...

Not that I necessarily want to defend the fatties, but as I've complained before, it absolutely pisses me off that it is more expensive to eat healthy than it is to eat junk.

Pasta and pasta sauce are dirt cheap while meats and fresh veggies can get pretty pricey (depending on the season)... Of course, with $.99 offerings at McDonald's, I don't see how a financially-struggling family can turn that down, especially if both parents work and there isn't a whole lot of strength left to cook.

It's always pissed me off how expensive orange juice is... And I mean the 100% Juice stuff compared to the cheap orange "drink."

Of course, all of this can go back to the "exercise more" argument, but I remember watching a news story about families with obese children who lived in the Projects... They actually wanted their kids to stay inside and play video games because the neighborhood was too dangerous... :(

I guess I'm missing the point, though - The bigger disgust is intended for people who are overweight and do nothing about it but feed (heh) their cause. I get that. Just wanted to play devil's advocate... The cost of healthy food really drives me crazy.

I was trying to find this tattoo I saw of the Black Flag logo done with strips of bacon but couldn't find it.

Found this gem tho...




McDonald's is actually quite expensive over here so you'd have to have a bit of extra income to burn to take a family there.

I made pasta last night and it fucking ruled.

Totally hear you on the orange juice price. Quite ridiculous not wonder people have to go the unhealthy option. I pretty much have to save buying the 100% orange juice for when I'm ill with the flu or whatever and really need it.
