If GameStop changed their member benefits, young people would get outraged.


 But it's only their parents' Social Security and Medicare, so we're all whiny bastards.
 
While they understand they're being ripped off by the GOP (and the DINOs), they don't want to accept that they can get off the gaming chair and DO SOMETHING. Remember, punks...when your mom and dad can't afford to pay for their health care or their mortgage, where do you think they'll be living? Are you going to put them on the street on in your spare bedroom...assuming you have enough money to pay the rent on a two-bedroom home when the GOP has worked the average wage down to $20,000 a year.

Disclaimer: We have to excellent, gainfully employed sons who have full health benefits and one even just bought a home. But it sickens me to hear the whining of the kids on DU who think us "old folks" (I'm not even eligible for the Mickey D's discount!) need to shut up.

I can't wait for the death panels to send this jackass to his next life.

As usual, blaming someone else for your own failings.  No need to expound on it.  We know the deal and those "young voters"?

I wonder how long you can continue to bamboozle them with bullshiite?

Well dummie... I guess I am doing alright then. Course I got a degree in something else besides dumbassery studies. I know a lot of people dummie. Some have degrees, some don't, some haven't even got a HS diploma. Almost all work and make above $30,000. Which isn't bad for WV. The only ones I know that do not make $30,000 and above are losers... like you dummies... and people in their early 20's that haven't gotten out of college yet and are working as cooks, waitresses, etc to pay for school.

One of the main tenants of liberalism is that older people are in the way. I've never heard conservatives talk about forced euthanization of those who are costing society too much, but I've certainly both heard and read liberals talking about the need for it. So in a liberal society, I'd have to say that putting the elderly out on the streets would be par for the course.

Poor Pedro.

I don't have a clue what that post even means.

Itr's "that time of the month" again, when he feels a need to screech.

Not about anything in particular, but just to screech.

[Texacon]

Yeah, all the GOP's fault even though not a single one voted for O'bamacare. If that's what he's talking about.

I have noticed with Pedro that every 28 days he gets a little irritable.

It's been going on for years, and probably was going on even before Skins's island arose from under the sea.

His poor wife.

I hadn't noticed.  I assumed he was like that all the time.

There's about two, three, days a month, every month, that it all has a peculiar quality to it.

<<<has noticed the phenomenon since we were at our old home, and kept track since then.

Once every circa 28-30 days, it has that peculiar quality.

Is it the last week of the month, Frank? Ya know... the week before the welfare money comes out?

[franksolich]

It's pretty regular, like cyclical or something.

I remember it was always near mid-month when I first noticed it, and then over time it drifted up towards the beginning of the month, and then it was around the middle of the month again, and obviously now it's near the end of the month.

Check him out on June 23.  Same peculiar quality in his screeching then, I bet.

Not quite a full month, but almost.

Well, one sees my twin corrected that, a little less than an hour after I pointed it out.

So the GOP and "DINOs" are responsible for McGrath getting fired by the junk mail outift?

[BattleHymn]

when the GOP has worked the average wage down to $20,000 a year.

Riddle me this, Atman: Which party benefits (in votes) by keeping people poor? 

Answer: democrats 

How do you reconcile that with your statement?

A permanent underclass is required by the democrats to keep them in power. A downtrodden hoard whom the left champions but never seems to alleviate their situation. They remain destitute while the democrats campaign and say they are, "fighting for them."

Oh Atman. What do you think will happen to the average wage once millions of unskilled, third world people are instantly given citizenship?

Why can't the DUmmies figure these things out?

[whiffleball]

This must be what prompted it http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2903352  Usual bitchin and moanin about old folks getting deals.

This must be what prompted it http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2903352  Usual bitchin and moanin about old folks getting deals. 

What's wrong with deals,  this is built into the retailers base line.    Buy one get one free, free dinner on your birthday, newspapers coupons for buy one dinner get the other at half off.  Coupons for food buy 2 get 3 for same price. ----Summer is coming and the canned vegetables and frozen have big sales as everyone wants vegetables at their fresh prime. 

Seniors on a limited budget and the youngsters raising a family need to keep a weather eye on sales by the time of year.     A barter system where no money changes hands is great and yard sales where one can make a low bid on something at the end of the day and the seller does not want to have to cart home a table or hutch are great. 

Young whipper snappers do not have the time to concentrate on how to save money, Seniors do if retired and count every penny.  Youth, they want every thing NOW, have no patience to wait for that toy costing $50.00 that will go on sale in a month for $35.00.  They go on vacation at the high of the season and pay 3 times what the cost would be in 4 weeks out of season. 

So quit the bitching when Seniors work with their money and not against it.

Hmmm. Dunno Frank. Never really paid attention to it until you brought it up. Gotta be a pattern to it though. Something gotta set him off. I was just figuring it was lack of money. Maybe not. Who knows? I do know the welfare folks get a little desperate around the end of the month. Just figured it was that.

He's a DUmp male, so don't leave out the possibility that he could be on the rag.
