krazychao5 05/23/17 3:40:32 PM #254:	My lord, the people in CE are so indoctrinated in "woe me" that they cannot take positive advice and have to lash out. It is quite telling where people's minds are when to come to conclusions such as 1. Be grateful you don't live in a third world shithole 2. You're not entitled to happiness 3. No job is bad, no matter how degrading and fucking awful the working conditions are and how underpaid you are and how terribly you're treated and no matter how much the job makes you want to kill yourself. 4. Have you tried not hating your terrible job? 5. Don't try to take loans to rise out of your shitty position, just sell the assets you have and enter the wonderful world of subsistence living. 9. You're not entitled to upper education, just go to the library, you can definitely get school credentials at a library. And if you can't, well, fuck it, go shovel coal in the mines because lol I have nothing else to offer you. Are you happy with your job, by the way? 10. Starving African children just aren't working hard enough. They're a product of their choices, not their circumstances 11. I understand the world is unfair, and I'm okay with that, because I'm a direct beneficiary of it being unfair. 12. Starving African children just need to learn how to make bootstraps out of animal leather, and pull themselves up by their freshly made bootstraps. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work. Don't you have to work at 3PM on a Tuesday, Addy? Where's that work ethic of yours? "If nobody tried to make their lives better and just stuck with their shitty jobs, the world for the upper classes of society would be a better place" Point 8 does not negate the fact that points 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, and 12 all amount to "sit down, shut up, know your place, and don't ever ever ever try to make your life better because you're not entitled to any happiness whatsoever." Instead of taking advice critically, they lash out with their perceptions of reality and try to state it as if it is true for everyone. --- https://supermariomakerbookmark.nintendo.net/profile/bigllama?type=posted <cite>krazychao5 posted [p:879667066] in Mike Rowe ...

Just a reminder, Paris Hilton and Nicole Ritchie also had a TV show where they go around and do peoples' jobs, and I don't see anyone acting like they are blue collar heroes Wikipedia shows that they goofed off and didn't take/consider those professions seriously. "What was supposed to be an experiment in learning how to adapt to doing chores and getting their hands dirty turned out to be a failure. In the process they would ruin a dairy farmer's milk supply, wreak havoc at a local Sonic Drive-In and take advantage of an employer's credit card, ultimately getting fired from every job they took up." " In this season, there were episodes where they were given little or no money while interning, or their internships were shortened because instead of being professional, they would goof off or fail to do the work properly." "The season features Paris and Nicole playing "Wife" to a different family every episode, in a similar manner to Wife Swap. Paris and Nicole alternate between the family each episode, with the family then deciding which of them was better in the role. This season was also unique, as Paris and Nicole did not leave L.A. The families they stayed with were L.A. area residents, and the episodes often focused on Paris and Nicole's personal lives and careers as well as the challenge of being a wife and mother. This season also featured guest appearances from Paris and Nicole's well-known friends, family and associates. Since the season was set in their hometowns, Paris and Nicole had cell phone and credit card usage, previously denied to them in earlier seasons." Comparing it to 'Dirty Jobs' which Mike Rowe takes those jobs as serious as one can while being an arm deep in a cow's rectum or wadding through a sewage pipe is fucking disingenuous lol. charey posted... By all means Mike, tell us how to get a car without going into debt while working an entry level job. It's called used, or if you want new, there are plenty in the low to mid 10k range. Like holy fuck, I bet some folks here other than myself can tell you this through personal experience. <cite>HiddenRoar posted [p:879676578] in Mike Rowe ...

yoshifan1 05/23/17 6:35:26 PM #296:	I'd say a new car is still better than used. By the time you're done sinking money into a used car, you've effectively paid off a loan for a new one. Taking on debt is not bad, as long as you understand how to manage it. When you buy a used car, you're buying someone else's problem. --- http://boards.gmo7897.com/index.php - Come on down and have some fun! http://www.crabdom.com/forums - Happy fun land <cite>yoshifan1 posted [p:879677775] in Mike Rowe ...

I'd be alright with this cause some of it is true, but anything can be seen as "whining and complaining" to Rowe and most conservative leaning people. The lower classes are absolutely getting fucked by the rich and powerful, but we're supposed to just stand here, take it up the ass, like it, then ask for another. How brainwashed can you be? Yes, this is just another brainwashing attempt by said rich and powerful to help themselves keep the money and power they have. And conservatives call us "cucks". And I say this as a blue collar guy who works a pretty "dirty" job. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. <cite>Southernfatman posted [p:879678581] in Mike Rowe ...
