1. True that. every place has rich & poor people

This is the only country where the most well-off do all of the bitching.

4. I'm not so sure about that (I don't think the rich REALLY care about a "national language")...

...but compared to many countries, even our least-fortunate are well-off.

6. Not many rich/industrialized nations

Edited on Fri May-13-11 09:30 AM by Doctor_J

this is a Fox Lies/Hate Radio meme, and maybe in AZ is taken as the truth but at DU...not so much. As for the rich bitching, you don't hear rich Canadians complaining about how good the poor Canadians have it. that is a US specialty

8. Saying they're comparatively better than many in third-world countries...

.
.
.
is NOT the same thing as saying they have it good. Necessarily. And certainly not in this
case. Conditions for way too many in this country are inexcusable.
.
.
.
But compared to conditions in many Third World countries, yes... even what I see as being
inexcusable here is comparatively better. You disagree?
.
.
.
Relax. Breathe deep. You're assuming way too much about it. While true in and of itself...
that post wasn't an echo of any "teabagger's lament". You may be too eager for a fight
where there isn't one.
.
.
.
Even in AZ. :rofl::rofl::rofl: :wtf:

I'll be on the lookout for him.

3. As a country, we probably need Xanax in the water supply more than Fluoride.

We'd be toothless, but at least we'd be mellow about it.

(That said: Get off my lawn!)

7. Louie CK doesn't get a lot of credit (as in a lot of people don't know who he is)...

But I tend to think he one of the better underrated stand-ups of the era.....

his humor kinda strikes me as if George Carlin and Sam Kinison had a comedy-baby, and then it did a lot of weed in high school....
