    Bullshit, yes you do. You love Walmart. Man everyday I come to work at Walmart and I look forward to working you all. Fuck I love this job! It's good to be me

    You're all inspiring your workmates and shit, they want to be there too because you guys are a great fucking team

    this is what happens when you drink the kool-aid

    i think

    or maybe tef is trolling

    my wife and i want to buy a house and a have a couple of kids
    i want to leave those kids something that has worth
    some sort of wisdom, yeah
    but also something tangible, hopefully property

    and my parents are doing an awesome continuation of something my mom's dad did-- they have money to help us with closing costs on our first house
    we hope to be able to do that in 25 years

    I was deliberately taking the example to an extreme to make a point. I did try and explain that in a post later on, but I think I did a pretty shit job of it

    the house we want to buy is owned by an elderly couple
    they are in their late 70s and work part time so they have enough money to pay their mortgage
    they refinanced and were burned by it i guess
    they have had the property 20 years and still owe a lot, probably more than what they paid for it

    i'm nervous about home ownership

    I don't want to sound awful or anything, but if this whole Casey Anthony business ruined Nancy Grace's day, a good case could be made that it was worth it.

    the economy is making my (securely retired) father into a militant leftist faster than it's moving me left

    how can anyone look at the past 5 years and call it the new normal

    i do not discuss politics, religion or any of that stuff with anyone really
    i'm deeply undecided and conflicted with a lot of that shit

    Also, the market's going to "come back," but there's no guarantee that it'll reach the growth it did in the last 20 or so years (especially since a lot of that "growth" apparently was built on a lot of fairly dubious credit.)

    please don't conflate liberalism with leftism thank you very much.

    this is pretty meaningless hairsplitting in the american political environment

    I mean, kanye cut the best part of the sample, which is too bad because it kills pretty much precisely his audience
    Young, very young, teeny bopping revolt on weekend young, dig by proxy what a mental ass kicking they receive through institutionalized everything, and vomit up slogans to stay out of Vietnam. They seek to hide their relationship with the world's prostitute alienating themselves from everything except dirt and money with long hair, grime, and dope to camo-hide the things that cannot be hidden. They become runaway children to walk the streets downtown with everyday Black people sitting on the curb crying, because we know that they will go back home with a clear conscience and a college degree.

    The irony of it all, of course, is when a pale-faced SDS motherfucker dares look hurt when I tell him to go find his own revolution. He wonders why I tell him that America's revolution will not be the melting pot. but the toilet bowl. He is fighting for legalized smoke, or lower voting age, less lip from his generation gap and fucking in the street. Where is my parallel to that? All I want is a good home and a wife and a children and some food to feed them every night. Back goes pale face to basics. Does Little Orphan Annie have a natural? Do Sluggos kings make him a refugee from Mandingo? What does Webster say about soul? I say you silly chipe motherfucker, your great grandfather tied a ball and chain to my balls, and bounced me through a cotton field while I lived in an unflushable toilet bowl and now you want me to help you overthrow what?

    The only Truth that can be delivered to a four year revolutionary with a hole card, i.e. skin is this: fuck up what you can in the name of Piggy Wallace, Dickless Nixon, and Spiro Agnew. Leave brother Cleaver and Brother Malcolm alone please. After all is said and done, build a new route to China if they'll have you.
