Who buys this crap?

El Guapo said:Beaner,
I smell Dixie Chick syndrome here. Go find a truck stop and ask a few people there “who buys that crap.” I dare ya.
The answer is; the people that pay your wages buy that crap. Here we have another case of “I’m superior to those people because my tastes are more elevated.” Beaner, you live in freedom because the great-unwashed (people that would by that crap) gave up sons, daughters, husbands, and wives to secure your freedom. You in turn insult them in safe place like Cyburbia. Your question is sad and personally uncourageous.
BTW - Have you ever lifted a hand in the defense of your nation?
Let the games begin.
El Guapo said:I do agree with Beaner and friends: It is Chintzy crap. That is not the crucial question. The question in my mind is why does he feel it necessary to feel superior to the people that do buy crap? What is the motivation behind the question?

El Guapo said:Beaner,
I am of the opinion that you believe yourself to be of a social order of magnitude above the common man. I have come to this conclusion from reading your many contemptuous posts when you discuss the public or American culture. Whenever the subject rolls around to average people, you always seem to have a smarmy shot to take at them. I would classify you as the David Spade of Cyburbia. I think people who despise the average American citizen, like I believe you do, are quite dangerous in positions of public trust. That is where I am coming from. That is why I react to your posts. I feel a fundamental sense of fairness requires someone to defend the masses. Now, what should I monger next?
Sincerely,
Harball

nerudite said:Michael Stumpf... OMG! Have you ever seen one of those stretch 4x4s in person? I never saw one of them until I went to Denver. They are all over the place there... quite scary. The stretch bright blue durango was the worst, followed closely by the stretch Humvee.

biscuit said:I saw the best ever at a roadside stand several years ago. It was a painting, air brush I think, of (fat jumpsuit)Elvis kneeling at the foot of the crusifix, on black velvet. I kick myself to this day for not buying it.
Dan said:
I know how you feel. I still kick myself for not buying a velvet painting I saw in Juarez about twn years ago ... it pictured the Virgin Mary, cradling the baby Elvis.

Look, Beaner made a comment about a piece of s--t junk coin that a company is producing for the ....
El Guapo said:
As to service being a requirement for real patriotism – yeah, that is a stretch. People who have never lifted a hand in defense of, or service to the nation are every bit as patriotic as those that have made the ultimate sacrifice. I agree. What was I thinking? It is all how one feels about something. One’s actions or personal investment in a thing means nothing. After all “I could have served my nation, but I had a career to think about.” I have seen that one here four or five times in various forms.
I do not think one’s self-esteem should be burdened by having people think just because one may have invested nothing in this country that one’s not as patriotic as a vet or a cop or anyone that has given back to society through some form of personal sacrifice.

Anyway, I can't imagine that the military/law enforcement would have had room over the years for every American between, say, 22 and 50 (probably the ages of most Cyburbians).
El Guapo said:
...Beaner's history of bashing the unsophisticated, patriotic, and unwashed creep..
There are lots of ways to serve your country that do not involve military service or law enforcement.

I'll guarantee you there's never been a physically fit, healthy, nonfelony committing, 18-28 y/o turned away because the military "wasn't accepting applications at this time." People are discharged every day, and they need to be replaced every day.

I was turned away in 1975 for having a quarter sized patch of dry skin on my ankle. The army sent me to a couple of dermatoligists and they said it was exema....... I guess I couldn't work on tanks with that problem.
Mike D. said:
Yes you could work on tanks with that problem, but its a condition that could require cream? medications? etc that may not be immediately available in such places as Vietnam, Iraq, Somalia, etc.
Dan said:I'd like to know who falls for this.
Beaner said:I recall a thread from about a year ago in which a fellow Cyburbanite admitted to a puchase of an X-100 surveillance camera.

BKM said:Hey, sneering at the "Great Unwashed" comes with being a "professional"and a college education.
Because you can be sure "they" are sneering at "us" pointy-headed, overeducated, often pompous bureaucrats. I know my "blue collar" neighbors certainly make fun of me and my foolishness.
Sorry, bureaucrats.
Zoning Goddess said:I still think that anyone can be patriotic in other ways.

We now use it to keep an eye on the front door of the house. It works great.

Michael Stumpf said:
Absolutely true. There is always the Peace Corps.
By the way, wouldn't the soldiers over in Iraq technically qualify as "the Great Unwashed?" It has been weeks since some of them have showered.
