People like that are too stupid to understand a word you typed Denny. It matters not how factual or true your statements are, they will always be a victim and you will always be evil. It's the way liberals have indoctrinated them.

Loser, I did two of the three things Denny mentions at the bottom of his post. I live in Texas so I will let you figure out which ones (it's the first two). I knew that because of my bad choices that life was going to be twice as hard for me as others. But I didn't bitch or moan and I have not one time accepted a welfare check or food stamps. I started working when I was 16 years old installing flooring. Moved from there to Installing under ground utilities and people (hence the e-mail address gravdigr) and now I help run a little Digital Chartography/Graphic Design company with my dad (hence kerrcarto). The point is you have to work hard for what you want. Nobody OWES you jack shit!

First time I crossed the Pacific, sometime around ’61, an old weatherbeaten Bo’sun’s Mate explained to me the difference between “privileged assholes” and “habitual losers.” Essence of it was that the privileged get the buzz while the losers get the hangover. Still makes sense to me … fits The Swimmer, Jacques Fargin Querrie, the unindicted Clintoons, Kyoto Algoreithm, and lots of others.

Vince Lombardi or somebody, coulda been even Don Meredith, talkin ‘bout bein a good loser in sports, said “Good losers always lose out in the end.”

I always liked what George Bernard Shaw said about losing: “’Tis better to have loved and lost . . . MUCH better.” Hadda think ‘bout that one for a while, but finally got it while the wife and I were raisin 4 kids on E-5 pay.

driving in denver yesterday. going home. two old hippies on the side of a highway waving signs and dancing. signs said "disarm bush". I wanted to stop and visit. wife said no. would have said "look here fucker. you were born white and american. you hit the birth fucking lottery. this is what you do with it?" I am increasingly less tolerant of losers.

Patrick,
I'd have stopped and told them that Bush is currently in DC, and they have a fire arms ban, so, he's been disarmed.

It's not that thy are losers, its that they have their priorities diffrent. They want to have booze, drugs, unprotected sex, etc. And then they wonder why they missed out on good jobs, good friends, and now have HIV. The losers aren't losers, they are stupid fucking losers.
I too grew up poor. I doubt my father ever made more than $5K in any given year. We all learned to work. I haven't seen any of my siblings on welfare ever, and none of my cousins either.

This is a true loser.
A guy has a great job and makes good wages but has a gambling problem. He bets on the favorite at the races and he loses. He makes all the right bets but somehow he always loses. He gets the reputation as being a born loser and soon guys started taking advantage of him. Upon a visit to the doctor for a routine physical it is discovered that he has three balls. The doctor couldn't explain it but certified that he indeed have three testicles. He immediately thought of a scheme to get some of his losses back. He went the bank and withdrew his lifes savings as he just knew that he had a bet that he couldn't lose. He went to the bar where the guys had been taking his money and walked in holding $5000 in in his hand. He proclaimed that he had a bet that no one could beat. The guys started covering his bet without even asking what it was because they knew that he was a born loser. He laid the money on the bar and looked at Joe the bartender and explained that he is betting everything that between him and Joe they have five balls. Of course the bet was covered and Joe looked at the loser and said. I hope the hell that you have four of them!

They do not believe people, like myself, exist. To do so, destroys their excuses.

Meet a Maintenance Man. I paid my own way through college, AAS Engineering. Learned by keeping my mouth shut and listening to the six figure plus executives that were my Bosses and part of the clientèle that I dealt with on a daily basis that you don't get very far working FOR companies. If you want to make money, you have to own companies.

That is the beauty of our Capitalist system that is so despised around the world. You don't have to own the whole company. You acquire many pieces of many companies. Anyone can get rich but it takes discipline and sense enough to start early.

Now, as I get closer and closer to retirement age, there is a certain irony and humor to those who look down their noses at me or try to pressure me and just can't, for the life of them, figure out my, "could care less," attitude.

Guys, like the one you mentioned above, would have to believe (if they knew) that I inherited my fortune from a rich uncle, won the lottery, or was simply one of the "lucky ones."

To do otherwise... To know the truth.. would destroy their ego...

Geez Denny...you never write warm mushy posts, or show your sensitive side anymore.

Oh, BTW: "I use loser to mock teens having children they cannot afford and then forcing me to pay for their poor choices."

The assshole losers wearing $150 sneakers and ugly phat pharm clothes obviously couldn't afford a raincoat, either.

I was so poor back in WVa growing up that my Dad used to give me a quarter to go to bed without getting supper and then charge me
.25 cents for breakfast. Those were the good ole days!

I was so poor we had to pedal our bikes indoors up on a stand to generate enough watts to run our steam-powered PC's.

Losers are not born; they are made. Self-made, actually.

You people don't know what poor is. We had to jack off the dog to feed the cat, now that's poor.

scrapiron.......

Poor? We ate the dog & the cat moved out....thats poor but the cat was very smart.

Oh heck, growing up I thought eating pussy meant we would soon have an explosion in the rat population.
Dog? we never had a dog. I was told they tasted like chicken, but wasn't sure what they were either.

Formerlib hit it on the nail head though, self made are the losers.

I'm thinking that there are few things that scream "I am a loser" louder than the "Kerry/Edwards '04" bumper stickers that losers continue to display on the backs of their SUVs.
