Not Might Be – You Are An Asshole
Edited on Tue Sep-09-08 06:42 PM by 20score
If:

You were against the Viet Nam War when you were the right age to go, but now that you’re older you’ve been pushing the Iraq War. A la David Horowitz.

You think aerial hunting is okay and sportsman-like.

You’re a bigot.

You think slave and child labor are fine in other countries, because “they’re better off than they would have been.”

You’re okay with trashing the constitution, because you trust Bush, and you “got nothin’ to hide.”

You’re a hunter, but you don’t give a damn about conservation.

You think everyone in the country should pay for their own education; because now you can afford to send your children to private school.

You say you care about the unborn, but once they are born, you believe they’re on their own.

You think everyone in the country should be forced to worship your God as you see fit.

Torture is just fine with you.



(Only a partial list, but wanted to get that off my chest. Feel free to add to it, or object.)

22. I think prostitution is fine, but I don't want my daughter to do it.
Other professions that I think are fine, but I don't want my daughter doing:
Garbage man.
Republican politician (well, I don't really think that's fine)
Sewer inspector.
Bull rider.
Base jumper.

Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. I also think drugs should be legalized, but I don't want her doing those as well. If you think that's hypocrisy, then I don't think you know what the word means.

9. OK, this one isn't snappy but,
You are an asshole if...

You are open minded enough to have faith in God,
Yet are so closed minded that you think everyone else must believe in your God, too.

Sort of what you said, but I think I put more emphasis on the 'open mindedness' it takes to believe in a magic sky wizard.

16. "You Might Just Be An Asshole." -- November 30, 2005
Edited on Thu Sep-11-08 11:53 AM by David Zephyr
"You Might Just Be An Asshole" - 11/30/05

If you are terrified of horses and afraid to be near them, and yet like to dress up in cowboy costumes as an adult and ride bicycles rather than horses on a former pig farm that you call a "ranch", you just might be an asshole.

If you were a cocaine-snorting, shiftless and worthless drunk until you were forty years old, and yet then begin to pontificate sanctimoniously to the entire nation about "decency and honor" and "moral character", you might just be an asshole.

If you dodged the military draft and avoided a foreign war because you were the privileged son of a Congressman, and yet like to dress up in military costumes as an adult and send hundreds of thousands of poor kids to a war that you alone started, you might just be an asshole.

If you and your brothers went from one failed and questionable business venture to another and were bailed out time and again by taxpayers and family friends, and yet have the gall to lecture a nation on economics and budgeting, you might just be an asshole.

If you and your family helped arrange for your girlfriend to have an abortion because you didn’t have the sense to use a condom when you were young, and then later wag your finger at women about the “sanctity” of life of an embryo, you might just be an asshole.

If you have the audacity to criticize our Armed Forces for helping restore order and civility to a region torn by thousands of years of ethnic strife and ridicule its success with a snarl calling it “nation building”, and yet, then later embark on a ill-advised and failed $300 Billion attempt of it yourself, you might just be an asshole.
