you met the man on a rich bachelor website
you drive a jag and have a 5,000 sq house...congrats on that, but i really resent you calling americans lazy and coasting.
we work more hours than any other western country
we have less vacation time than other western countrys
we work are ass off, a lot of people i know have two jobs.
and most of these hardworking americans will never get the luxuries of a new jag or mini-mansion...they will struggle to live a modest lifestyle.
for you to stick your new money nose down at us lazy americans reeks of arrogance and hypocrisy...weren't you one of the blue collar ranks not long ago?
you got no business calling us lazy
I have every right to call most Americans lazy - BECAUSE THEY ARE as Javaguru pointed out so well. Most Americans do the least amount of work in order not to get fired.
As for most people never getting to live in a large house or drive a nice car - how is that MY FAULT? I didn't rob a bank or sell crack to school children to earn OUR money.
I married a man that was BROKE... He had gobs of cash when we started dating and I watched as it was all stolen from him... and married him anyway.
Just because I married a smart/ambitious/driven man with character that doesn't make me a bad/shallow person.
IT MAKES ME SMART.
What baffles me is that YOU would take offense to MY choices.
My family were poor immigrants and I busted my ass as a single mom on WELFARE - but had my kids taken from me that time because *I worked too many hours* to support us - my ex had a problem with that even I got no work-related childcare money - the judge thought ill of me for getting up at 3:30AM to be at work by 5AM with 4 kids in tow for anywhere from 8$ to 22$ p/hour. Funny, he didn't have an issue with my ex LYING about his income to beat me out of childsupport.
I busted my ass and never gave up so you better believe that I have every right to pass judgement on lazy fucks like the ones that can't be bothered to show up to work on time and bitch about giving up a 15 minute break when they are habitually late!
My crazy ex robbed me of EVERYTHING - my children/my job/my family's money - all of it systematically taken from me and still I pushed on. You have no fucking clue what it is like to have your entire life taken from you through no fault of your own. Now go ahead - have all that taken away and start from ground zero... with more and more barages of harrassing litigation and all the while your children are being abused and you are powerless to stop it. Go ahead and wake up, keep looking for a reason to live, let alone eat/smile/breathe...
And all the people calling you hurtfull names and actually LAUGHING at your children's and your family's and your suffering. Oh yea - that was REAL helpfull too. To this day my husband still does not comprehend where all the animosity comes from....
Well I LIVED IT and so did my husband, just one of the reasons why we get on so well - because we have had similar life experiences so we dont judge.
Another thing that I find to be bothersome is why YOU take my posts so PERSONALLY. Have I ever once said anything about YOU PERSONALLY?
