What The Fuck Is Wrong With You? You Weren't Born Into Money?

[Binka]

Because we all know that being a lucky sperm and just landing in the lap of luxury is the easiest and best way to get rich. Think BUSH.

Holy Moly Fucking Fuckwittage the rest of us are just supposed to stare gob smacked in wonder or horror that these asshats....Paris...Paris.. are just too fucking cool for us to comprehend. Ahh shit fuck these trust fund shits. Why as a culture are people worshiping these NOTHINGS?

Lucky Sperm. Nothing More and a lot less. Fuck them. Ya want to revel in being a serf? Didn't think so. FUCK THEM! FUCK THEM!

1. I often wonder.

Whether this country will have it's own Bastille day. Overthrowing the rich who own most everything. The disparity of wealth in this country is sickening, there should be a HEAVY inheritance tax to help prevent the existence of an aristocracy.

[Bluerthanblue]

4. interesting to read about Chavez,

and how he is loved by the poor people of Venezualia- He came from poverty, and has a heart for the poor-
Novel concept.-

[ken_g]

9. Chavez? - $012/gallon gas - BASTARD!!

Must destroy...

[Binka]

5. Let Them Eat Oil

Fuck cake. We already have an aristocracy.

[YOY]

6. We'd have to be at the end of our rope for that

and we've got so much more to loose. It is slowly slipping away...wait until nothing is left. At that point they'll leave the country or get lynched by those of us who don't think that being in a fiefdom is a natural status ordained by jeebus.

[leftchick]

24. I wonder the same thing

would it end up being Gitmo Day? Or White House Day?

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. We are now at the actionable stage for anger

aka we are over the magic 70% number, we have gone from a pretty content population to a somewhat POed one in five years... that is impressive... so we may have a violent revolution... I no longer discount that, or a civil war

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

53. And distribution of wealth...

...statistics is something you can't get from our government. Gee, I wonder why. Honest data would show what all of us already know---the rich keep getting richer while the poor and middle class keep getting poorer. We're fast headed back to the Gilded Age and Bushco wouldn't have it any other way.

2. You mean like the Kennedys? Or you could just marry it like Kerry.

Money is power----always has been,always will be.

10. Ted Kennedy, longtime champion of the average American,

and John Kerry, who doesn't pretend he isn't wealthy but has served the public his entire life (including all those years before he married THK -- whose fortune will go largely to her children, not JK).

[Bluerthanblue]

19. you said it better

than me- and i agree.
JKerry may have come from a MUCH higher standard of living than me, but he has worked his ass off.-
The same cannot be said for bush-

14. some born into wealth

still have the 'drive' to make something of thier lives-
UNLIKE bush-
Kerry worked hard-
The Kennedy boys worked hard too-
odd, how those who have or were born into wealth, and didn't just sit on their asses also don't have a problem seeing the poor, or less advantaged taken care of.

Something weird in this-

"Christians' are NOT supposed to store up lots of money- and deprive the poor- but they aren't supposed to hate their enemies either.

Money isn't always evil- but the LOVE of it ALWAYS is- be that in lack or abundance-

[candy]

17. JFK and RFK worked hard---EMK was the baby brother who just

fooled around and then got himself elected senator while his brother was the president.

[Bluerthanblue]

27. he had pretty

big, and difficult footprints to walk in-
And while he DID without doubt screw up alot- he's a HELL of a lot more of a 'man' than bush- and has worked harder and lost more to this country than bush could ever dream of-

If both your brothers were killed, your father devistated by their deaths, and your family destroyed by such public and tragic loss, you might think you could be cut a bit of 'slack'-

[melody]

52. Teddy stuck to his guns when a lot of Dems ran scared

Including all the putative Kennedys allied with the Schwarzenazi.

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. Comparing Paris Hilton to Sen Kerry? One is a spoiled rotten nothing

the other a public servant with a lifetime achievements of good. Nice try! Likewise the Kennedys. But then you knew that, right?

[lumberjack_jeff]

47. Bush: "all noblesse and no oblige" n/t

[stepnw1f]

51. Hey candy? Kerry works to help the poor and Middleclass

That makes him exempt. The poster obviously targets those who have wealth and believe they somehow deserve it more than others just because they are born into it.

Are you wealthy? Are you Republican?

[pretzel4gore]

61. not really

history is replete with examples of wealthy people getting run down like dogs, the east indians of uganda is an example, the chinese merchants in indonesia, even the well to do jews in eastern europe, or the muslims in bosnia, the tutsis in rwanda etc.....wealth itself must be directly linked to the forces of cohersion and control of popular will ie the newsmedia, for the cliche to be true (i often wonder if the truly powerful have historically promoted the wealth=power idea in order to sic the mob on some hapless community the truly powerful keep around just for that purpose?)

[jody]

3. It takes an egg and sperm to make a person. Your limit to a sperm is

a sexist statement.

[WillyT]

7. Um... Wouldn't That Be An Ovum ???

Thought I'd throw that in for the shell of it.

And now... I'm runnin like hell!!!

:scared::wow::scared:

:evilgrin:

13. Ovum: An egg in the ovary of the female. n/t

32. Have a nice evening.

:hi:

21. are you kidding?

seriously? :eyes:

[jody]

34. No! Are you kidding? n/t

[TahitiNut]

26. Try considering the odds.

:eyes:

A man produces about 400 billion sperm cells in his lifetime. A woman will produce about 300 ova in her reproductive years. Hence the term "lucky."

[jody]

35. What does probability have to do with my statement? n/t

43. Well, it has everything to do with the term "lucky."

That's pretty basic. :shrug:

[jody]

48. If it's basic, then explain how that affects probability when

100% of a man's sperm carry a father's Y-DNA and 100% of a woman's eggs carry the mother's mtDNA?

[Bluerthanblue]

36. actually, when giving the 'example' of bush- in the OP-

the sperm IS the 'operative' element-
It's the sperm that determines the 'sex' of the outcome- so, he was a 'lucky sperm' and while there ARE 'rich women'- we (GOD i'd love to be 'rich' and female) rarely have the 'power' that men with money do-
Sad but true-
Wrong, but still true-

Ken lay is where? bush is where? and that BAD old Martha Stewart, who clawed her way up to wealth, is the poster girl for those of us who would dare dream of being 'powerful'-

sarcasm to the extreem-

i'm a woman, and i'm every bit as worthy as any man- but the world hasn't grasped that yet. But maybe if i was rich they would.

Peace Jody-

[jody]

38. "lucky sperm and just landing in the lap of luxury"? I believe that women

control a significant portion of wealthy estates in the U.S.

The probability of landing in the lap of luxury is often a function of a man marrying into a wealthy family.

[Bluerthanblue]

42. you may be right but

from my experience and view, men control this country- at least they have for my 40+ yrs.

i'm not saying we don't have value- FAR FROM IT- i AM saying we HAVEN'T been valued.

[jody]

45. I didn't do a thorough search but consider the following for Britain.

Women 'will own 60% of UK's wealth within two decades'
QUOTE
Women are poised to take control of the bulk of Britain's wealth, according to a report today from the Centre for Economics and Business Research.

It said women currently owned 48% of Britain's personal assets but this would rise to 60% by 2025 as women reaped the dividend of better qualifications, more equal pay, higher levels of home ownership and longer life expectancy.

The research, carried out for the Liverpool Victoria friendly society, found there were already 47,355 female millionaires between 18 and 44, compared with 37,935 men.

44. Some newspaper heiress once said something to the effect of--

--"My family arranged for their money to pass through my womb with as little chance for me to grab any of it as possible."

[stepnw1f]

54. LOL... Are You Wealthy Too?

Maybe born into? Does something here hit too close to home?

Then disrupt elsewhere....

[jody]

55. No, are you wealthy? n/t

[stepnw1f]

56. No You Are, But What Am I (nt)

[jody]

58. Have a nice evening.

Goodbye, :hi:

63. You Too .... LOL

What are ya waiting for?

BTW- that animated icon was for hi.

[wli]

11. dynastic oligarchy theory... true enough n/t

[The_Casual_Observer]

12. You been listening to NPR or reading Vanity Fair or something?

NPR goes out of their way to point out that so & so is "wealthy" or is "important" or "worthy of note".

[DS1]

22. Sperm hater

:D

[Binka]

28. Yes I Loathe Sperm I Have Four Children But I HATE Sperm

Now I am a sexist sperm hating rich hating zealot. OK. Works for me. But can I throw the Kennedy's and Teresa Heinz in the mix? Please?

[DS1]

29. Heinz yellow or spicy?

46. Yer Welcome TGR The Outing Continues

The more we cut to the goddamn chase the quicker they just out themselves. Fuck the rules of "engagement" they defined those rules any way. They just do not like it when they are called on them.

I will no longer bring a plastic fork to a gun fight. Bring it on said their chimperor. Oh but not really or at least don't hold them to it. FUCK THAT. FUCK THEM.

[ken_g]

41. OK, I'm new...

Been lurking for quite awhile... Its a weird phenomenon when I see discussions spiral away like this. Others don't seem to take it so seriously as I do when the discussion breaks down like this. Any enlightenment... Its just weird.

[Dave Reynolds]

49. Some folks take themselves too seriously,

others like to push their buttons and start a war.

I'm not saying this is the case in this thread, but it does indeed happen here frequently.

Some others like to interject a little levity, which sometimes works and sometimes does not.

Me, I just like to use this guy: :popcorn:

And, on edit: Welcome to DU!

[ken_g]

50. Thanks Dave

and that is a GREAT "con". Brought tears of LOL to my eyes

[Binka]

60. I Take Myself VERY Lightly And Have No Agenda In Starting A War

My kid is going to Iraq next week and I just am amused that people still worship on the altar of the rich. Fuck all>>>>>> My family has more money than GOD and I think, no I will call it...... they ARE assholes. Lucky sperm. Anyone who worships them is just deranged. Whatever train wreck occurred here was not because I wanted to start a flame war. I am for PEACE.

MY son is going to Iraq and the rich fucktards in my family are acting like he is going to the prom.

That is all they can do. They are too stupid and warm in their money cocoon.

[H2O Man]

62. I take you seriously

and am happy that you help serve as a conscience on DU. I'm proud of the work you do, in light of the strain that you are under.

[stepnw1f]

64. Sorry Binka

My heart and prayers are with you. You actually said something that has been burning inside of me for a while. I'm sick of being beaten down by this system too. I see people struggle everyday and know the system is rigged.

If only I had no conscience, I would be wealthy too.

[stepnw1f]

57. Great Post Binka

You called them out to play.
