Nanny govt and pettiness continues...after restaurants

[shel90]

Yeah I hear whine alot. Seems like that would apply more to the "I can't" party. I can't afford health care Whaaaa! I can't find a job Whaaa! People make fun of me because I am different whaaa! My mortgage company gave me a loan I can't afford whaaa! I am fat because Mc Donald's gave me fattening food Whaaa! My unemployment ends this week after only 6 months whaaa!

Conservatives don't cry, they act. What you hear is not a whine it's a warning.

Mc Donald's is hiring. Time to stop suckling the public teet and grab an oar.

Oh really? No conservatives in history of mankind has ever cried nor whined?

Just wondering, do you mean "here" as in this forum? Or in your real life? In my life, I mainly know democrats. All of them have good jobs and are hard workers. Very few are "crybabies."

In my experience the "crybabies" and "gimme gimme gimme" types are people with neither a political association, nor the fortitude to go vote. I think conservatives, especially as of late with the whole Tea Party movement, have a pretty skewed tendency to "other" anyone who isn't in their own narrow mindset and label them as a "liberal" or democrat.

Let me ask you this hypothetical question: If I work hard for what I earn, and I do and always have, even if it is not much, don't I deserve the right to express my opinion on how taxes should be spent?

Oh wait, that sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Conservative have some silly notion that they are the only people making money in this country and thus are the only people who should decide how taxes are used. I think you'd be pretty shocked to see the real numbers.

I am a Democrat and I bust my ass at work. I dont recall asking the goverment to give me anything except for a better teacher's salary..

Yes really. That doesn't mean that there are no hard working democrats...of course there are. It also doesn't mean there aren't any freeloading Republicans, there are some of those too. I am an independent. From my perspective, when I see people crying about life not being fair and they need government support it is from Democrats more than Republicans.

Sounds about right.

Well, if we follow the above line of thinking, we can say the government allowed all those unhealthy items in the food supply. Then onec in a while, they make the food people reveal what's in our food.....vicious cycle, isn't it? Now look at where we are.....

government? do you know who gets in government seats?

I would like nutrition information from restaurants. We label food in the grocery stores, which I read carefully. Things like fat grams, sugar grams, etc. I also read the ingredients carefully. If a product has HFCS or hydrogenated oils, I don't buy it. Many companies are eliminating these items from products because of consumer pressure. I hope that restaurants take the hint and do the same. I don't eat out much because the food is too fattening and unhealthy. Sometimes, I go out for a burger but I consider that a splurge knowing it's not the healthiest food.

Judging from the number of Obama related threads that have popped up, it would appear that someone is REALLY caught up in that obsessive compulsive cycle today.

Obama is controlling your thoughts and your actions....Obama is controlling your thoughts and your actions....Obama is controlling your thoughts and your actions...
