This is the "impossible dream". Taken as worded... You (and I) have the right to seek our happiness in virtually any course of life. No one is going to be allowed to tell us we MUST be doctors, lawyers, teachers, farmers, or ditch diggers. But, it does bring up an interesting "for instance". What if being a murderer or rapist is what makes one happy?

At the time it was written, back in the old country, if your father was a blacksmith, you were a blacksmith. If your father was a farmer, you were a farmer. etc. That was what our forefathers were trying to do away with in this country. Freedom to choose what ever walk of life makes you happiest. But, I doubt that they intended for anyone to find happiness at the expense of others. So, while priests and scout leaders might make themselves happiest by molesting young people, their happiness comes at he expense of others well-being. I doubt that is what our forefathers had in mind.

 

Get your popcorn ready folks! And don't bitch at me about the increasing price of it! Baby needs new shoes, and I gotta fly to Italy to get them! :smokin:

Wrong. Turn in your membership card to the Fascist/Conservative Party of the USA. You are making an argument that I have made many times. A citizen is NOT a citizen (with constitutional rights) until they are actually BORN! Since many fetuses (who are alive as long as they are "supplemented" by the mother's system, and yet STILL are often stillborn, one is not really ALIVE.... OR a citizen with rights.... until they make it onto the planet breathing on their own!

ROFLMAO!!! This is so typically racist and classist as to not be worth my effort to respond! "I was born a poor black child." :hellno: Good thing I had a CHOICE of what I wanted to be before being born! :roll:

The tuition EVEN in state schools is going thru the roof lately! A young black man doesn't stand a chance to get even a part-time job to pay his way thru without government help!

You say that like you are totally CLUELESS about the lack of jobs in America today.

What? So now you're FOR "socialism?"

Belpre should be here in 3...2....1....

Huh? Are you trying to say "Woe is me?"

You need to take your 99 posts and BACK OFF of that claim.... JACK! I've worked (sometimes several jobs) since I was about 13. Put myself through college (didn't even use my G.I. Bill.) Served my country in the uniform of the U.S.A.F., owned my own business and paid taxes on a few employees, and besides.... we learned recently that MATCAT is the root of all of our problems! :lol:

Um... no! I don't recall doing that. I may bitch about that crook Dubya who nearly ruined it.... but, I have never bitched about the USA.

Your powers of deduction astound me!

None. How many of them have YOU given a nasty, disparaging look towards and told them to "get a job!" ???

Well.... "greens fees" are meant to pay for the JOBS of the guys who maintain the GREENS! My clubs are hand-me-downs from my father. I've NEVER bought a new set (or a single club) for myself. My golf shirts (clothes) are handed down from my older brother. They're like NEW to me! The only time I actually HAD a "membership" my dad "offered" to help pay part of it and it saved me money over weekly costs. Carts? Yeah.... I'm guilty! I'm getting too old and out of shape to WALK 18 holes! But, my DAD can! So I guess I'm suffering enough over THAT one! :tears:

Brutally! How're YOU doing at it?

Yeah. I think that was the ARMY's slogan! I joined the Air Force! It made me everything YOU wanted me to be! :lol:

No you didn't. Like most of us, you made choices as you went along. And you had no more control over the socio-economic status you were born into than anyone ELSE has.

Get in line! I'll bet YOU didn't help BUILD the Interstate system by paying tolls and taking detours like WE did when I was young! But, for what it's worth.... I LOVE what I have done and what I'm doing, too! So, your point was?

As a truck driver? If so... please tell me how to get into that! I've got a T.S. clearance and would LOVE to make some of that Gubbermint money!

I'm getting all blurry eyed!

No... sounds like YOU have a problem! Your military salary was paid for by taxes! You are probably now working under a government contract.... TAXES! Are there LAZY people on welfare? Sure! I don't like it either. But, what does that really have to do with healthcare reform? You obviously just see it as another "entitlement" program that will cost you money for lazy people. YOU are totally clueless as to the healthcare/insurance crisis in this country. You MUST beleive that you aren't paying for the uninsured NOW thru your taxes! You seem to have bought totally INTO the "political argument" here.... and not the ECONOMIC one. But you are not alone here on CAD.

And your point?

I don't know.... PEDOPHILE seems to work for MOST of us! :hellno:

NOW you sound like my MOM! :eek2:

Dare I ask just WHAT you are so angry about? Poor people? Taxes? How about CORPORATE WELFARE? Tax cuts for the richest while fighting wars OFF THE BUDGET? Loopholes for businesses to ship jobs overseas? How about a 250% increase in profits for health insurance companies over the last decade (Bush administration) while people are dying for lack of insurance to pay for needed healthcare? Bankruptcies for MIDDLE CLASS Americans who've always HAD a job and insurance.... but have had to lose the insurance and even their HOMES because of a "NON COVERED" medical expense.... and probably loss of a JOB, too?

 

I'm beginning to see it! :lol:

Well...more of a break-dancing jiggitty hip kinda Hitler.

Dear golfhobo:

For the record, no I don't give money to people on the corner, ESPECIALLY the same ones you see day after day. Yes I give them disparaging looks. Yes I would like to tell them to get a job, I just haven't ever had the stones to do it. With my luck it would be that 1 in 1000 who actually "NEEDS" help. I'm just not willing to give money to people I don't know on the street, hoping I'll hit that "1", especially when so many admit to drinking or drugging it away, sitting with an I-pod or cell phone in their ear, smoking $4-$5 a pack of cigarettes and signs with every excuse in the book why they are in the situation they are in instead of getting a job, even if it doesn't pay $30hr. My local paper is full of jobs EVERYDAY! (OKC). If that makes me insensitive, I don't care.

I didn't know you had to have a certain # of posts to have an opinion on here. You served, Thank You. That doesn't exempt you from being an idiot, in my opinion. The reason I only have 99 posts on here in 4yrs... JACK!!! is because of this kind of crap here. I NEVER spoke of your work ethic, it was your bashing you twit...honest. I've got other and better things to do than post more than the 5000 times you have, in just a little more time than I've been associated with this site. Your one of those guy's they talk about who sits in his mom's basement in his underwear reading and listening to conservatives, and then bashing them, aren't you?

It's too easy to get on here and call each other names when you don't have to face somebody, I'm not that way, although I've done a pretty good job of it so far. I don't want to be a computer Rambo. I'm on here everyday. Just because I don't "post" daily doesn't mean I don't pay attention. I read all kinds of stuff on here to "keep up" because truck driving is my true passion, I miss it. It just didn't work out for me. I have no regrets though. As I stated, I love my life. It is nice to get on here and tap into the wisdom and common sense of people like GMAN and others who don't engage in this kind of crap. My hat's off to them all. It just pisses me off that I even started on this.

No I don't drive a truck with the Air Force I am an Aircraft mechanic on KC-135's. I have been doing it for 28yrs. I'm a retired E-7 so I was everything YOU and your family needed me to be for 27 of those years...so YOU can back off... JACK!!! I work as a civilian at the local AFB nowadays. I have taken a couple of breaks in that time and alot of part time work to fit in truck driving.

Gosh, you didn't start working till you were 13? I think I was around 10 or 11 when I got my first paper route. Does that mean if we blow up I'll go higher than you? Are you kidding me? To bring that up? How many kids start out at 4,5, 6yrs old working on a farm. What's your point? Wait, I don't care, honestly.

I'm doing pretty good with the honesty thing, don't you think? I've kind of laid it all out pretty plain, I thought.

No I'm not for socialism all of the sudden, just pointing out the socialist programs already in place. Even you admit a young black man, among other races and nationalities, including white, I might add, have a government system to help them out.

You don't know me, my family or my associates so get away from the racist thing...JACK!!! You have no idea where that is concerned.

Yes I was trying to say "Woe is me". Thanks for straightening that out. I wouldn't have wanted you to not be able to figure that one out.

As far as I know, as I said to point out Pursuit of happiness, "as soon as your born", (see previous post), Doesn't that constitute living and breathing? It seems my science classes revealed that.

I'm still contributing to the interstate system, it's called tolls.

You want some of that gubbermint money? Get off your lazy ass and apply, just like I did. They are hiring at your local Base, haven't you gotten the word?

Your right. I do see healthcare and welfare as an "entitlement" program and me paying for a bunch of lazy asses. I thought that was pretty clear and honest.

The point of me naming all walks of life was that their are sicko's in every walk of life, not just priest's and boy scouts, as you were implying.

Be glad I'm not your mom because I'd have you over my knee whipping your arse...JACK!!! Honestly!!!

It's apparent golfhobo your a total idiot, in my humble opinion. I'm through with you and this subject. It's been childish of me and I usally don't do it. Say or call me what you will, I don't care, honestly. I should never have gotten into it anyway. It's just that I'm as passionate about this country and trying to save it as you are about protecting and coming up with excuses for the idiot's who are trying to ruin it. You fit right in, keep up the good work, you are made for each other...JACK!!!

I apologize to anyone who is already as sick of this as I am. I'll go back to my, well 102posts now, OMG!!! Only 5765 posts to go to catch up to golfhobo.

 

Bumparoo...To golfhob, aka JACK!!!

 

Robertt,

Politically and in some unspeakable ways... Hobo is from Planet Uranus.
He's always talkin' sheit. :roll:

this was supposed to be a quote but I cit some off Hobo said

Yeah. I think that was the ARMY's slogan! I joined the Air Force! It made me everything YOU wanted me to be! :lol:



ARMY slogen was " BE ALL YOU CAN BE" Geez freakin zoomies get it right!!!

 

All right, let's all back it down a couple of notches. It's starting to get personal.

And Hobo, you might be laughing in your Latte about your messiah's latest takeover and enjoying rubbing it into those that understand the truth behind it and aren't whipped like you are, but that kind of thing has a way of coming back and biting you in the *****.

With as angry as this country is right now, take that kind of tone with another driver at the lunch counter somewhere and you might find yourself being mopped up by first responders. And then where would we at CAD be without your fountain of knowledge?

So be careful out there. We'd hate to lose you - imagine how boring it would be here without you?

 

I went to a couple of Scout meetings when I was a kid. I never really gotten into it. It's a great program, but I was never really interested in it. A lot of friends of mine were. They had the badges sewn on their vest;I remember seeing the guys wearing them, when they had a meeting after school. I was a Royal Ambassador, but never a Cub or Boy Scout.

10-4. I don't think I was getting personal. But, when I respond this weekend (if you don't pull a REV and lock it) I'll try to be on my best behavior.

I have NO idea what you are talking about. I haven't been rubbing ANY noses in the situation about healthcare.... and THIS thread had nothing to do with it!

As for the "latte," you just continue to show how little you know about me, because you are convinced of your prejudices against me. I've never HAD a "latte" in my life... and wouldn't waste the money!

You mean like YOUR predictions of how Palin would wipe the floor with Obama? And McCain/Palin would be our next "rulers?"

I STILL don't know what "tone" you are referring to, but it doesn't matter. I'm on a dedicated route now and NEVER get to sit at T/S counters and argue with real truckers! I only have CAD. :lol2:
