About difference of opinion and being PC

[paintballfiend]

Nothing is wrong with not wanting those things, but it's what we do to avoid them that is the problem.

I can't tell you how many men I've met who came home after WWII, started a farm and were poor. They worked their butts off, contributed to the betterment of this country and realized the American dream the old fashioned way...they worked for it.

Now, people want prosperity for little to nothing. I've worked in the corporate world at high enough levels to know that the higher you climb the less you really need to do. In fact, here's a bit of advice for anyone who cares: When you get a career that you really like, just do what you are asked to do...meet the requirements of your job, and you will be labeled a "high achiever." Why? Because so many people today are lazy and want to avoid the "pain" of working.

I mean really, look at how many AO'ers post from work.

Work your butt off and end up poor, huh, sounds like the life for me.

If what you are saying about just doing your job is true, than mediocrecy would be considered "high achieving". Maybe you should get out of the corporate world, because by now you should have been promoted to CEO.

That sounds like another PC attack on the evil "American System". Drug dealers and poor people who spend what little wages they earn on lottery tickets want prosperity for little to nothing. Most of the folks who live in my area do a good days work in their pursuit of happiness. What's more, the businesses they own or work for are prosperous. For the most part the deadbeats who don't want to work, or don't want to do what it takes to improve their position, don't tend to live here because they can't afford to.

LOL perfect

"Hello Lamewads"

Feel the burn and the fury of my pen
feel the fire, as I fan the flames again
brace yourself for the mediocre
Hail the king of the almost good enough
nothing bold, nothing's flying off the cuff
things might change, but don't hold your breath yet
Try floating with the flow,
try not to run too slow
be average, not below, Let's go

[Chorus:]
Hello lamewads, I'm with you
raise your fists if this rings true
Hello lamewads, never quite our best or finest
hello lamewads, I'm predicting a C minus, now.

Hello lamewads, hello.
Like a shoelace slowly coming loose
like a flashlight running out of juice
save your necks, with some lame excuses
I'm neither friend or foe, I'm never going pro
does this sound apropos?
Let's go.

Niether hot nor cold this is getting old.

Oh and it would be tons easier to mind my own buisness if I wasn't paying for others mistakes.
