3. These douche bags worry about us instead of the real problems of the world

too much time on their hands or simply jealous. I vote the former......and more than a token jealousy of us here.

(Spelling corrected by franksolich from the original.)

One can vote for up to 5 options.

Since I have never once yearned to be a pathetic loser that can`t wipe his ass without government directions I voted "are you kidding?".

Jealous?

Of the perpetually miserable?

Why?

I love it when they try to diminish us by saying things like "worry about us while ignoring the real world" when this brain damaged 'tard is easily in the 5-digits on post count at DU.

I've achieved every professional goal I ever had, civilian and military; I have a BA and three graduate degrees ("cum laude' for the JD); and I am on the verge of a retirement that will pay as much as if I kept working even without counting in Social Security a few years down the road.  What the HELL about them could possibly arouse my jealousy???

Jealous of a bunch of wingers who find a problem with everything and are professionally offended, who hate everything around them, whose lives stumble from (self-induced) crisis to crisis?

Yes of course we are...

Their roguish good looks, impeccable fashion sense and social acumen?

No way.

Not even remotely envious. Being one of the seven deadlies not withstanding.

Not just all of my answers, but add "NO ****ING WAAAAYYYYY!!!" as a sixth.

When looking at myself, I'm seeing a middle-aged male who's really accomplished hardly anything at all when compared with my peers.....if my "peers" are considered to be "all middle-aged males."

In fact, I've accomplished shit.

But when looking at myself as compared with my real "peers," males born deaf, I've gotten a Hell of a lot done.

I'm using the second, not the first, standard, when comparing myself with the primitives.

And when I use that standard, I'm mountains and mountains above primitives.

I can't think of a thing, a single damned thing, that a primitive has, that franksolich wants.

It's another example of them getting us 180 degrees wrong.  It's like when Skinner said there were "sites that whine about DU."  It's not whining, it's laughing at you.  Whining would be "why can't I be as smart as those fellows at the DU?  It's not fair!"

Why on earf would anyone be jealous of a group of people who need some kind of drug (legal or otherwise) in order to cope with life?

Unpossible! Unless, perhaps undergoing some sort of existential crisis.

Sure, I'm jealous. Why would I possibly want a smokin' hot wife, nice house, good job, and cash in the bank when I could be sleeping in an alley, stoned out of my mind, and having buttsecks with random passers-by. Those DUmmies got it made, I tell ya.

I can't imagine one, or even an infinitesimal part of one, reason on God's green earth why a decent person would be.

 :-)  Oh, yes, well there's that, of course...  :sarcasm:  :tongue:

I suppose a new reader of DU might be jealous of their youth if unfamiliar with their real stalwart posters (An impression it would be possible to get from their immature incendiary writing, lack of reference to family, dismally poor financial and economic thinking, and general concern with the doings of youth), but once you learn a bit about them, you find out that anyone who isn't a paraplegic septuagenarian is in better shape, livelier, and far happier than the vast majority of the bitter losers posting on DU.
