Doesn't it irritate you when poor people are cons because they like to PRETEND they're rich?
They're basically siding with a party that doesn't give a crap about them because they think it makes them appear to be rich. I swear that at least 75% of the people on here who are obviously uneducated about politics and vehemently conservative are that type.
Even as far as the cons who are that way for other reasons, don't those people annoy you, or are you just glad to get as many votes as possible (which I guess I can kind of understand)?
What? What has this question got to do with "the black community"??
S*&% You people are all even drunker than I am.
Hey Bradley. How's the sailing in Arizona these days?
Femme, meet Example numeral uno, just above you, Patient Sailor.
I'm 33, married, with a kid. I've lived on my own since college. You are projecting your own situation onto me because you seem to believe that everyone here is living some made-up fantasy life like you are. There are people in this world who actually DO own sailboats; it's not that out of the ordinary. You act like only a handful of people in the world own a boat. That might be true where you're from but I grew up in Maine and Florida and everybody and their uncle around here has a boat. Mine is actually only 52' and it's older (1982) but I love it and if I had to pick between my boat and my house, I'd pick my boat. It's an Irwin cutter ketch, look it up, they were made in FL years ago and they're all over the place.
Here's a little tip for you: When you act like you're the only person who has whatever it is you are pretending to have, you give yourself away as a fake. I can always spot fake rich people because they never believe anyone else is rich -- they just assume they are all
also lying...
I'm not rich. My boat is old, my house is even older, and I drive an old Volvo 850 (I don't sail a brick but I do drive one, haha). I live off about 10k/mo (from a trust fund). My job pays slightly less than that but I give 100% of my salary to charity because I don't need it as much as a lot of other people. I work my @$$ off 60+ hours a week and the only reason I do it is because I hope that somehow I can actually make a difference in my life for people who don't have enough.
How can you claim to be a Christian whilst acting like the Pharisee from the parable about the tax collector??
I also tithe, how about you? Bet you don't even come close.
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhSTe... <<I don't feel like typing so here is why I am a liberal and not a greedy wannabe rich person like some of these idiots on here. You can believe it or claim it as BS, it doesn't matter to me. But I hate it when somebody tries to discount what I say by insisting I'm some slacker who wants money from the government because that's the exact opposite of what I am. It's like they're deluding themselves so they can keep believing what ever crap it is they believe.
P.S. When I was younger we had a dark green Tiara 31 at our house down in FL for awhile!!! I wonder what happened to that thing!! Yours isn't dark green is it, with a big custom tower on it and outriggers?
Tithing is tithing -- it's giving 10% of your total income.
Yeah ours had an inboard. It got played with so much by me & my sisters and bros and cousins that after awhile it was in pretty bad shape and I think my mom finally made my stepfather sell it. I've always liked sailboats better than powerboats though. It's like my therapy.
It was a cool looking boat, I nearly sh*t when my parents got it for us because I was expecting some 15' Boston Whaler or something like that, not something you actually wouldn't be f*ckin embarrassed to be seen in (haha)
Hey Merry Christmas man -- I'm going to bed before the kid gets up to open her presents (which you know is going to be at the crack of dawn)

You mean like liberals pretending they own 55 foot barges? Please....
You seem rather Intelligent, probably have a nice little desk job somewhere pushing paper, why would you be so myopic as to try and divine the reasons people view politics the way they do with such a strident and self serving attack on people you don't even know?
You now show yourself to be quite young. Perhaps you are still living in your parents home. I on the other hand have lived in half a dozen states. Again, your liberal tendencies toward arrogance and a complete lack of understanding of the world, people, and life experiences shows itself in a rather pathetic way. I would guess that one day, you will look back on your current views with shame.
How can you possibly accuse anyone of being a poser after your fairy tale (actually a flat out lie) about owning a 55 foot floating brick? And then threatening to run over a smaller boat with your fantasy 55 footer because it is so much bigger? Obviously you are living the fantasy of trying to appear rich to make up for something clearly missing in your person. Seriously, on Christmas no less.... We should all pray for you.
Ok, lets see, it was a 55 now its a 52? BFD. You love boats. Great, I love boats. I spent a significant part of my life working on sailboats. I managed charter fleets, sailed everything from zuma's to SORC boats. C&C's, Tartans, Sabre's, Pearsons, lightenings, scows, Hunters, Cal's, O'day's, Whitby's, J-boats, Nacra's, Hobies, Columbia's, Morgans, and dozens on one design racing rigs. I even sailed a Burger. Look that one up... Add in I have sailed DN's, Knights, even an old A-boat. (This should prove something about you.) I have stepped hundreds of masts, installed countless equipment, taught hundreds of people to sail, I have sanded boat bottoms, faired keels, put on VC bottoms. I never claimed to be rich or that I owned a sailboat. I actually own a powerboat. 31 Tiara sport. It is made in Holland Michigan. 1994. I am considerably older than you, married and have very young children. I make low six figures, and I work my butt off. Name someone who is sucessful that doesn't . If the government taxing the crap out of us is such a great plan, why donate to charity, why not give it to the government. Why, because you can be far more impactful when you have control and can target and monitor the effectiveness of your largesse.
Pathetic, you want to get into a dick measuring contest on how much you tithe? Typical liberal. Knows the price of everything and the value of nothing.... I never said you were a leach to the government, lazy, anything.
The Tiara is a gunsmoke grey, no tower, pure cruiser. It suffers from twin Mercruiser I/O's. Kind of rare for a Tiara, as they usually are associated with inboards, but the sport model had them. Nice boat, I hardly ever use it since the kids came along. It will most likely become a casualty of my maturation. I bet the green looked awesome....
I would prefer a sailboat, but sailboats are for people with time. I travel extensively. In addition, my wife turns colors not found in nature on sailboats. Maybe someday I can pick up something in the 35ft range to race and cruise with my son. But he has a few years to go before I can think about that.
Hey, my apologies for any insults. Merry Christmas to you and your family....

How can having a expensive phone say that youre rich..white ghetto trash will pretend to do anything
- Mike WLv 71 decade ago
Either you're messing with us, or you really don't know. I grew up in the country, and most of the people we knew in the area had one thing in common. None of us were what you'd call rich, nor did we pretend to be rich. We weren't what you'd call materialists either, we owned those things that were useful, and little else. We didn't vote for Republicans because of the things that the promised to do for us, we voted for them because they tended to leave us alone and live our lives as we saw fit.

It's a shame you can't point out a few examples of this claim. Now, care to hear what we find irritating about libs?

No. What irritates me, is self-important cretins making idiotic remarks.
That so many Liberals fit this mold comes as no surprise to anyone with more than two functioning brain cells.

If their ignorance wasn't dangerous, and this site is just an example of a bigger problem, they would be entertaining.

The Democrats haven't done anything for the black community. Where do you get your strongly-held convictions from?
