Okay, I'll get "uber" mad at them and spew vitriol all over the internet. That'll work. Equal outcomes for all!

Nah, I have a better idea! I'll go occupy Wall Street!

I actually wasn't aware of that. I guess this sums it up?

"It is the idiotic creation of some of the least responsible members of the Republican Party."

Ya, that sounds about right. I guess it's handy to see who is getting their talking points directly from the rotting fetid anus of the party. Toot Toot!

Extreme willful ignorance on display. If "democrat party" is indeed a neutral abbreviation, I defy you to find a single democratic lawmaker or democratic pundit that has ever used the term, as opposed to the magaverse you inhabit.

Care to address the point? You were bitching that class warfare came up. I helpfully explained reality to you. You replied with...uhm...stuff. Do you have any valid points?

Yeah, since you believe in classes, which one are you in? And what are you going to do to help me improve from the one I'm in? Is it even virtuous to want to?

I don't belong to the Republic party or the Democrat party. There, I offended everyone.

The -ans and -ics are on the counter over there.

Like all good Canadians, I'm in the middle class. You don't need to move "up" classes if their is fair living where you are. And what I'm doing is supporting parties that don't want to cut corporate taxes that erode my middle class lifestyle for their profits. You are very welcome.

You keep saying this, but I'm not pretending. My location is right under my picture. Changing a username is nearly impossible, so it's out of my control.

I'm curious, why does THAT specifically offend you so much? What's your deal? I seriously can't figure out why certain things bother you, like cheering for the Canucks against your fiercest rival.

You're seem like the type of person who wants a certain amount of refills on their soda, or a specific amount of ranch dressing...

Springs?

How many classes are there and what are the boundaries?

Are they bounded by income or wealth?

If you're in the "middle", that suggests there's at least one below you. If I'm part of one of them, what will you do to help me get to your level?

That's pretty bigoted. There are good Canadians who are poor and who are rich.

Huh? Everyone who has ever seen me post knows I wouldn't cheer for the Canucks against anyone. Even the Oilers. I took extreme heat for that. Vancouver is no good. I'm a Flames fan who grew up around hundreds of Canucks fans and none of us cared about Edmonton.

You represent Florida. Not California. We have mountains, forests, oceans, nice weather, and Gavin Newsom. You have swamps, flatland, humidity, bugs, hurricanes, an arena 20 miles west of the FLL airport that no one cared about until Calgary sent players, and Ron DeSantis. Learn it, love it, live it.

I don't define classes, and they obviously vary by country and sometimes region. I'm sure you can google it if curious.

It's a common joke amoungst Canadians that no matter what class you are in, you think you are in the middle class.

It's not my duty as a citizen to "help you get to that level" and I'm not sure what you are expecting. What is expected of those who vote is to select parties that work best for everyone, not those who cater to the wealthy class only(while often paying lip service to lower classes, but examining their actions always reveals their actual positions). It would probably not be great if they only catered to the lowest class, too. Also, donating to agencies that match my principles. So that's what I'm doing, because it is within my power. Yourself?

yeah...cool.

Again, what are you mad about?
