from theoracle Thursday, February 21, 2008 - 08:06 (Agree/Disagree?) "marry some rich chick" oh I forgot the good looking part (reply to this comment)

from jezz Tuesday, February 19, 2008 - 16:09 (Agree/Disagree?) That last sentence cracked me up!! I wonder if someone's been smoking green :) (reply to this comment)

from neez Monday, February 18, 2008 - 23:52 (Agree/Disagree?) double I would suggest that you try and at least pretend that you have a clue. It's somewhere to start at least. At the moment you sound like you might turn into what you hate. (reply to this comment)

From double Wednesday, February 20, 2008, 02:45 (Agree/Disagree?) You don't make sense, (s)neez. <-- I made that up!(reply to this comment)

From Fish Wednesday, February 20, 2008, 04:33 (Agree/Disagree?) So funny! You so funny!(reply to this comment)

from vix Monday, February 18, 2008 - 13:56 (Agree/Disagree?) Is it trolling season again? (reply to this comment)

From neez Monday, February 18, 2008, 23:48 (Agree/Disagree?) There seems to be a large influx of greenhorns lately which can't be a bad thing. Even if they are slightly annoying. Ah fuck, I'm getting old :P(reply to this comment)

From Lenin Monday, February 18, 2008, 23:00 (Agree/Disagree?) No, its weasel stomping day!(reply to this comment)

from rainy Monday, February 18, 2008 - 12:23 (Agree/Disagree?) That sense of entitlement is keeping you from achieving those things you want. Instead of wishing, just do it. There's no other way but pure hard work. You have to put the hard stuff in. (reply to this comment)

From double Wednesday, February 20, 2008, 02:50 (Agree/Disagree?) Buuut, hard work is so hard. I'd much prefer luck. "You have to put the hard stuff in." Um... where?(reply to this comment)

From Fish Wednesday, February 20, 2008, 04:35 (Agree/Disagree?) Actually, I was considering commenting on that, but then I realised I was far too mature to do so. (reply to this comment)

From Bullshit Monday, February 18, 2008, 20:35 (Agree/Disagree?) That's manifestly bullshit. "There's no other way but pure hard work." Yeah, right. I made crap loads of money hardly working at all, and later, when I actually did "work hard" I made considerably less. Its not about work, its about connections. People with connections like to promote the idea that it was "hard work" that got them where they are, as this makes them feel superior, rather than just lucky, and keeps the peons below them "working hard" for something they will likely never reach.(reply to this comment)

From neez Tuesday, February 19, 2008, 21:31 (Agree/Disagree?) I think you might be confusing "hard work" with manual labour.(reply to this comment)

From exfamily Monday, February 18, 2008, 22:55 (Agree/Disagree?) Yes, and another option is being born into a privileged family, but all things being as they are, hard work is your best shot. (reply to this comment)

From Lenin Monday, February 18, 2008, 23:00 (Agree/Disagree?) No, a socialist revolution is the proletariat's best shot. "Beasts of England, beasts of england, beasts of all the northern lands..."(reply to this comment)

from Phoenixkidd Monday, February 18, 2008 - 09:52 (Agree/Disagree?) Welcome to Reality Son! Where good ol' Apple Pie meets Circle K. And every QT has got a Carny. Where every Redneck meets Berkenstock-veggie-chompers, and every Wetback is in the range of a 45. (reply to this comment)

From ? Thursday, February 21, 2008, 16:46 (Agree/Disagree?) "Son" - yes, Grandpa, but I think double was referring to female whoring, so maybe you should say, "Daughter."(reply to this comment)

From exfamily Monday, February 18, 2008, 10:34 (Agree/Disagree?) That LHM at the end made me burst out laughing! But anyway, yes I think we all wish that, but all we can do is make the best of what we've got. There are lots of people who come from better backgrounds but haven't made anything of their lives. It's never to late to start. The important thing is to have the right attitude, and you can achieve most anything.(reply to this comment)

From exfamily Monday, February 18, 2008, 10:34 (Agree/Disagree?) Didn't mean to reply to the comment above...(reply to this comment)
