lawyers are douches

now you otice that?

I like fucking...

NO, maybe you've just been extreemly fortunate and met great people. I've come to the conclusion that me giving people the benifit of the doubt is just foolish because most everyone I (or you or anyone) meet are going to somehow going to take advantage of you. Seems to me like lots (most) of people that I meet don't understand Courtesy or Respect and it annoys the fuck out of me because I have ALWAYS been courteous and respectful. UGH. people suck.

I'ma have to agree with that... somewhat, I always try to give the benefit of the doubt before I can read somebody...

Well you need to get a change of scenery, because most of the people I know and have met are pretty chill, and their ages range from 18-30. I don't recall anytime that they took advantage of me.

That's another one of those things that will vary a bit based on your locale.

I live in Southern California, and the overinflated sense of entitlement everyone has here is nauseating.

Yeah you need to get outta vegas or wherever you live, get out into the country, it's much nicer.

I was raised in WY, and we plan on moving back, eventually. The money out here is so good that if we save up as much as we can we can move in 3-4 years and buy a house...that's the plan at least.

Man, I've always wanted to visit Wyoming. Have you been to Yellowstone?

Back on-topic: I finally get my car back today. A week and a half to repair a windshield? Lame.

Yea, I went to yellow stone. I've got pics at my parents, I'll myspace them to you :P. I was young though, like just turned 14.

Ya British as fuck.

Not really, in the country you get alot of the public aid type people with the same bullshit sense of entitlement.

It's pervasive, and I feel that advertisement plays a large role in this.

Intriguing. Go on...

Agreed, completely.

Well, it's rather simple, but I doubt it's the sole contributor.

If you think about the constant barrage of advertisement that we're subjected to, talking about how shopping at X makes us smart shoppers, using Y beauty product will make us beautiful, and so on, the public is essentially being brainwashed into thinking they're superior to others or beginning to look down on others. That naturally leads to an engorged sense of self-importance and self-entitlement.

I think people in the country are far worse than in NYC.

I have this personal loose-theory I discuss now and then with people who live around here. I termed it "Fake Class." The people around here are just half-assed about everything, but extremely, overly and undeservedly proud of their provincial and unimpressive actions. In conjunction with the bar being set extremely low, they are snooty and pompous without justification (not that being a prick is ever justified.)

Example of "Fake Class:" Easter Bunny coming to the town in a helicopter, and using it after-the-fact as a way to advertise the town. (We had the fucking easter bunny come by goddamn helicopter!) *sigh*

Indeed, as country folk tend to be xenophobic.

I also have the special privledge to live in a sport tourist town, and work in a sport tourist hotel. 80% of the guests are suburban morons. The males are of two archetypes: tall and wide shouldered beer-bellied ex-jocks who believe they can get everything they want just by raising their voice, and quiet yet hyper and jumpy nerdy guys who probably do weird things to the bedding.

The females are just one kind: cookie cutter suburban wives who all look, talk, and walk exactly the same way. This is an annoying sneerish kind of way, as if everyone else is below them. I think having an original thought would probably cause them a mental breakdown.

Their kids are the resulting mixture of self-entitlement attitude and "my dad can beat up your dad" based needless arrogance. The kids are all also exactly the same. Many of them are A.D.D. and can't sit down quietly for a goddamn minute.

As one drunk tourist at the restaurant explained it, "this place is great! You just drop the kids off for the week, ditch the wife, go drinking and pick up chicks at the bar!"
