[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP- you should have titled this post: “Come in Poors Seeking Validation.” The poors have a defeatist mentality, which is why they are poor to begin with. The fact that many pps feel good by comparing themselves to the national average is reflective of this mentality. Who does that? My parents who had gov jobs have $2 million in liquid savings- just by not spending all of their money every month. If you live in DMV - not out in Poorsville or Manasshole and you dont have $2 million by age 50, you are an abject economic failure imo.

You sound horrible and completely lacking in empathy. Who refers to people as "the poors?" That's just gross. I am middle class with a college degree and am very thankful that my parents are reasonably intelligent and I grew up in a household where education was promoted. If I had grown up in poverty with uneducated parents I most likely would be in different situation. To say that all individuals who are impoverished have a defeatist mentality is very unfair. There are many people who work hard but don't have the intellectual capability for professional jobs. That's not their fault. Yes, we have free will, but to a large extent we are products of our biology/genetics and environment. [/quote]
+ 1 And he refers to Manassas as Manasshole? And people who don't have $2 million by age 50 as abject economic failures? He's the biggest snob on this forum, and I've seen a lot of them. (He also is extremely insecure and builds himself up by putting others down. It's well-know that those who appear to have a superiority complex suffer from feelings of inferiority.)[/quote]
