For those of you who live in the Lounge
Do not go to any other forums or watch, listen to or read the news. There are some very ugly things going on in the real world. We'll let you know when it's safe to come out. Now, about that Britney Spears sex tape.......................................

1. Lets not forget the ugly reactions
in the other forums to this ugly news..I learned today that since I have a 401K with stocks I am both "whiny" and have a "sense of entitlement".x(

20. I was told that I'm a member of "the investor class"
Well excuuuuuuse me for being fortunate enough to make a decent living and having a decent retirement plan, to which I contribute.

I can relate.

41. Yeah, it's amazing how whiny and entitled you can seem
when your retirement fund currently totals about three dollars and your graduate assistantship prohibits FICA contributions. I can't wait to live on that $112/month from the Feds and however far I can stretch them three bucks of 401(k).

:hug:

-whiny, entitled lefty

48. Exactly!
Shit, I am too tired to even be able to spell "exactly" right now. I am working 14 hour shifts this week, plus going to online school for IT, and am involved in some professional organizations that relate to my field. I forgot what in hell I was gonna say, since I am so tired!

I don't even dare to look at what is left of my 401k. As far as my college loan? I get no pell grants because I look too good on paper. Asssssed Out! And those people that posted all that stupid shit can just eat shit and they also should be kicked off DU.

XXXOOO Hang in there!

43. Yeah!!
I very rarely venture into the GD, and I caught a whiff of that bullshit, too! I am going to go to bed, so that I can get my sorry ass up and go into work (that job I have been showing up for the last 12 years). I was totally astounded at the crap that was flying in there!!

Just who in the fuck do these people think they are? I don't think that I am anywhere near the elite fund-puppy that these very ill-informed numbnuts seem to say that I am. That is why I came to the lounge so I could look at kitty pics and mellow out...

XXXOOO

I came home from work today so covered in shit, that I had to use one of those green scrungie spongie things to scrub the shit off. Now does that make me an elitist? Some of these people really need to get a clue!!!!!!!!!!

I gain more by reading than arguing and belittling others. I'll probably live longer...

Thanks for stopping by!

5. first of all
Edited on Mon Sep-29-08 03:44 PM by realisticphish
why the fuck would we want to see a britney spears sex tape? 4-5 years ago maybe, but not now.

second of all, i read all my news from, you know, news sources. Why descend into a world of rabid packs of dogs when I can just listen to the BBC?

33. Thank you for casting asparagus on those of us who post in the Lounge
Just because I primarily post in the Lounge does not mean I am not reading and digesting information from other forums here at DU, and other places as well.

Congratulations, you just won my 'Jerk of the Day' award. And really, that is saying something since I live in a very red region of a very blue state.
