To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, ‘It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but might as well be.’ It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: ‘if you’re so smart why ain’t you rich?’ There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register.

What movie is this from? I’m thinking Mad Men, but that’s just a guess.

Thanks.

Mommy is at the park with her baby and her 5 year old. She’s holding the baby in her arms. She yells at the other kid to put down the stick he’s playing with.

“Put that nasty thing down! You don’t know where it’s been.”

The kid replies, “Put that nasty thing down! I know where it’s been!”

Don’t expect other people to get hurt because of you.

Don’t [create a situation where] other people get hurt because of [your actions]

Why do you think Reaganomics was implemented? If both parents work, they aren’t going to be able to spend as much time teaching their kids to read.

Fair point.

I do not get your point tho

Well, if you honestly can’t comprehend people dying that is a good reason for you not to involve yourself in any activities outside of your home.

Maybe you should try talking to people you know who are smarter than you and ask them to explain.

Smart and decent aren’t synonymous

Ever heard of Kent State?

That wasn’t even particularly violent, and four people died.

Physical calendars are great. One good trick is to write all the important dates down the day you get it. Mom’s birthday; parent’s anniversary; any event that you want to be sure to remember.

Do you think you can throw a brick at a cop and the police won’t respond and start breaking every head they can find?

Not leaving DNA evidence would be a good idea if you were planning a crime.

Get these books. “Discover What You Are Best At.” Linda Gail. It’s a series of self tests to determine what skills you already have and then a list of all sorts of jobs that use those skills. If you can wake up on a rainy Monday and not hate yourself, you’ve solved most of your adult problems.

“The Joy Of Cooking.” Will teach you how to boil water, and then go on from there.
