[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I have changed (Thanks Obama) (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 12/21/2009 12:57:47 PM EDT
Last year around this time of year I was at the store. There was a woman with 2 kids in line in front of me. Her food bill was $60.00 and here debit card was declined. She looked like the world had just ended. I told quietly told the clerk I would pay. She was very thankful and I felt like a good guy. Today almost the same thing but she only had 1 kid her she had tears in her eyes when her card was declined. Her bill was less than $40.00. I looked at her and thought Obama suporter I hope you fucking starve and that should have aborted whore baby starves too. And I don't care I hope they are happy with the change they got. I don't feel like a good guy but I don't feel like a bad guy ether.

be careful - only you know who you "are."
Changing your actions to suit your enemy (whether real or imagined) in a tit-for-tat scenario just increases the likelyhood that you will become the very thing(s) you hate about THEM. Ultimately, I understand and empathize with your choice - I've made similar. However, I feel like less of a person when I treat people differently based on their voting preferences. With that said, I've sworn off charities because "there's a government program for that." I know most of them are corrupt, inefficient and further enable the "disadvantaged" to remain "disadvantaged" via free money. However, I did drop some change into the salvation army bucket today.

Quoted: He won the election. So odds are in my favor that I am right. I just noticing that I now hate people when in the past I would try to help others when I could. I guess that depends on what part of NV you are in. You shouldn't let something like politics get in the way of being a good person. I've been bitter and angry lately also but, I've found that giving to those in need makes me feel better. Especially when they are appreciative.  |

How the fuck is Obama President when there is obviously more Red on that map than Blue? The electoral college is a clusterfuck. For the 4th time today I am red faced pissed off.

Why did you assume she was an Obama supporter? That's my question also. You could have asked then proceeded appropriately. I assume every looser is a Dem. She did not ask for help. I just know in the past I would have paid her bill and not cared what her political view was. Now I don't want to help I just want them to have it as bad as bad can be. I hope she is fucking cold and hungry. Maybe she will be to week to vote next November. |

California - bankrupt. Michigan - bankrupt. Southern Texas- drug war with more dead than the Iraq War. Southern Florida- Immigrant Haven and drug haven. North East- gun banning city dwellers who don't own cars... etc. etc. |

So you've gone from being a good man to being an unrepentant dick? http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t70/glitch42/1237090260483.gif Yes |

an act of kindness on your part should not be dependent on others but by what is in your heart Well said. Agreed, but if they voted for obama, and have not repented, its not in my heart! I, possibly like the OP, hold nothing but disdain and fuck yous for libtards in my heart. I'm sure its not "healthy", but I'm getting down to nothing but anger and rage since I'm paying attention to our government. |

So close to Christmas and to feel the way you said you did, words escape me |

You should come visit New Orleans sometime if you really want to see some "Gimme Gimme-Entitlement..." Post of truth of the year! Holy shit that place makes me sick sometimes....It's a shame because the surrounding wetlands are so nice. A damned shame. |

I can understand your feelings, though you couldnt have possibly known who she supported. But that is not your point.
What my question is...how do you overdraft on a debit card? Check your freakin balance! If you have $35, dont go buy $40 worth of shit! You dont even have to go through the pain of "ok well I dont need that, will you take that off my bill as I cant afford it" if youll just use simple math while your in the aisle. And if your really pressed, calculate it down to the tax. |
|
Not that I hold anything against you for being angry, but I would have paid the 40 bucks, regardless of who she voted for.
I will surely catch shit for it here, but I would have a very hard time letting a woman with her child cry because they couldn't afford groceries. I understand how easily somebody can obtain the "screw 'em all" attitude, but I try not to let it ruin who I am. Merry Christmas.

What's up with Senator whore bag Ben Nelson? Did he buy a seat also? |

How the blue hell did "Live Free or Die" New Hampshire go 100% for Obama??? Sorry for the hijack, I am just stunned ... |

Obama being elected didn't change my viewpoint on people.
He just reaffirmed that many people believe that they should be able to take from others in order to have what they "need." I never did give to charity, because very few people actually "need" it, and those who do SHOULD be taken care of by the .gov (because they are so few in number, with cases so severe that no charity could ever hope to collect enough money for their obscure cause. In all honesty, America was designed as a nation where people lived without a government "net." It isn't about feeling like a "good person." It is about subscribing and doing what it is "right" over what makes me feel good. If people couldn't get charity, they would either find a way to survive, or die off. We don't need non-producers in our gene pool creating more non-producers. We don't need more welfare junkies. We need to rid our nation of these leeches, and I don't mean by active means. Simply take the teat away. Cut off the support. Survival of the fittest is a bitch. |

[/libtard off] edit: I say fuck em. Every time a credit card/debit is declined in my machine, I pay for the inconvenience. No, I will not run your card again...just to see it declined and lose another 10 cents. Everyone should pay more attention to their money. Then again, if people paid attention to their money, we wouldn't be in this predicament. |

Just this past summer, a couple in front of me with 2 shopping carts overflowing with food ( over $250. ) attempted to pay with a debit card and it was declined, the woman turns to her husband and asks why there's no money, just then 3 kids come running up to the register with more stuff and at that moment I knew who they were. The Dad just loses his cool, hollers at the kids to drop the stuff, hollers at the wife " fuck this we're leaving ". The checkout girl has this look almost like Anyways they're my neighbors behind me and they're assholes ( the kids ). I have no sympathy for them.

I help the ones who do not look like typical libtards. Most libtards actually have money (old money or trust fund money usually). At any rate, after helping people, I usually say something like, "See, not all of us Republicans are assholes!" 
They WILL think twice at the voting booth. |
