I am way past the point of the point of empathy or sympathy for stupid people.

Maybe they should have read the Constitution.

Nobody should care more about you than you.

Nobody is responsible for your decisions but you.

We cannot continue to carry dead weight.

The End.

I am the 1%.

Well, isn't it?

Aren't you responsible for yourself and the decisions you've made?

This retard is lucky he landed a Starbucks job.


10 years in school going for a BA in Psychology and Sociology...And wait....It gets better....

...he's only a junior

Well this certainly sums up the idiotic mentality of the left!

10 years in school and still a junior? I guess he thinks his education should be paid for by someone else....and his 'American dream' should be as well.

Spoken like an intelligent person - something sorely lacking from the majority of the left.

You choose to be an addict the first time you smoke, snort, shoot or ingest an addictive substance.

Again, you are responsible for you.

So they should take extra precautions.

Sex is a natural human instinct.

Sex is a human right.

If you are not ready for a family, either emotionally or financially, just say no.

I am the 1%.

The wallstreet protesters are placing sole blame on business and banks, and leaving out protest of government specially the democratic party because they won't admit that their party is part of the problem also.

Maybe the day will come when both realize that their sides have positive attributes but also corruption also. In the meantime nothing will really change until then
Nah.

Ooops! Make that 2012

I am proudly one of the 1%! I will take care of myself and be responsible for my actions and decisions.

Some of these 99%'ers decided to make a career out of going to college - on loans - and thought they could live out their days spewing academia while sipping coffee at starbucks. Now the economy has turned for the worse, loans are due, and it is tough finding a job....especially when you have never worked. I guess reality has set in and now those whom made the bad choices want to blame those whom made better choices.

Typical leftie mentality of everyone else is responsible for my bad lot in life.

Again, I am the 1%.
