What poor people eat is junk, mostly because that's what they can afford. That junk contributes to them being fat, from the high fat and sugar content to the low nutritional value, which compels you to eat more and more.PhillyChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355892225956705948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-8217340510948385152008-07-21T16:45:00.000-05:002008-07-21T16:45:00.000-05:00I'm an elitist when it comes to a few things.

When I see people who are grossly overweight, I have a certain amount of disgust and disdain. My first reaction is: Why don't these people eat less and move more? Why are they so damn lazy?<BR/><BR/>Next is my morality compared to people who are religious. A good example is: Pro-lifers who never mention one word against war. Is this common? In my everyday life, I come across people who are so very concerned about a few cells over people already born and who are suffering and dying. All based on their Christian morality. Yes I consider myself an elitist in that respect - compared to those fucks.Red Expendablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121892990737841778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-43814515082071491282008-07-19T18:06:00.000-05:002008-07-19T18:06:00.000-05:00I don't want to elect some joker who sells herself...<I>I don't want to elect some joker who sells herself as being great because she is a blogger "just like Evo".</I><BR/><BR/>Does that mean you won't be voting for the Exterminator-Chaplain ticket?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-1761175474465979732008-07-19T11:03:00.000-05:002008-07-19T11:03:00.000-05:00Chappy, if any of us (don't remember who exactly y...Chappy, if any of us (don't remember who exactly you were responding to) didn't make it clear: yes, we would like to elect leaders who actually are better than us - not just <I>think they are</I>.

My work may be considered white collar but I've grown up blue collar, worked mostly blue collar jobs, live in a blue collar are, and have friends who are almost all blue collar workers. Blue collar people, imo, are very pro-military and susceptible to that "support our troops" propaganda, but also they should be very susceptible to issues raised about poor pay for those in the military (especially the enlisted), poor health care and benefits, failures to adequately take care of the disabled vets, pensions and the GI Bill. These are essentially labor issues of the most extreme. These issues, however, either don't get media play or politicians don't speak out about them. <BR/><BR/>I would think it would be far easier and far more of a successful strategy for a politician to harp on these issues and appear as a true patriot and supporter of our troops then to perpetually lie and falsely cloak yourself in the flag. Furthermore, doing this should expose those false patriots as being just that. This would play well across the country, imo, and would also dispel any talk of one being weak, unAmerican, or anti-military.PhillyChiefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03355892225956705948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-17488229674574967612008-07-19T09:10:00.000-05:002008-07-19T09:10:00.000-05:00I agree with Philly about what it means to support...I agree with Philly about what it means to support our troops.

Since I was still deep in the atheist closet at the time, I stifled a guffaw and simply smiled at him. <BR/><BR/>If I were having a similar conversation with him now, I'd say something like, "You realize that non-Christians feel the same way about Christians, don't you?"
