3. Nice.
I understand. Some people in my family are 'well off" democrats, who worked very hard for their money and now have issues from the stock market going down...And I'm tired of people taking glee at people becoming poor because of this economy.

5. You are brave and kind, and you have some
understanding of how much it hurts, and how much a person loses trying to succeed.

But you know, in the end, nobody cares about that.

But thanks for posting what you posted.

You are simply an awesome, empathetic, kind and experienced human being. You are full of good advice and spiritual light.

6. What other people think about you
doesn't matter really, especially if they think the worst.

Stupid people post stupid things.

You are loved and you are a good person.

to hell with them

and I did post there too

11. I just came from GD myself
and I'm more than a little dismayed at how so many are eager to assume the worst about other people. If there is any possible way they can use their imagination to come to a negative conclusion, THAT'S the way they'll go. Facts, or lack of facts be damned.

I think some just like that feeling of righteous anger. It gives them a high, but, like a drug, it impairs reason and judgment. Empathy and compassion often go out the window as well.

12. I know what you mean. My parents worked like crazy to get to a mostly comfortable
existence.

If you ever see me complaining about "rich" people, know that I am talking about CEOs who despise unions and regulatory efforts, make a squijillion dollars a year, own a dozen houses and 3 dozen cars and a private jet or 3, and who lose their employees' 401Ks etc but manage to get off scot-free for it AND get $40million as a severance package.

I'm darned sure that's not you. :hug:

17. This is what a "squijillion" is....
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three squijillion soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "Where is squijillia?"

15. Right the fuck on
Some people on DU think they're "liberal" because they hate anyone who has more money than them.
