Obesity topic brings up a valid question

What is is that YOU do that is either a drain on society, or interferes with other people in a normal week?

The only thing I can think of is discharging firearms on my property which some of my surrounding folk do not approve of.

i smoke, but I do not smoke in places with food, in my own home, or around others who do not smoke.

I might be missing something here, so a little help might be in order [}:)]

    You're a "sucker for punishment" huh?[:0][:D]

    I chew Skoal a bit, but only in my truck and at home while outside,.....does that count as offensive?

    And I also drink a few brews in the evening.
    Surely I am toast now![:D]

    I breathe, thus expelling CO2 causing the polar ice caps to melt, thus killing off the polar bears, causing the oceans to rise and drowning thousands of pacific Islanders. So, I guess I am a murderer of half naked islanders, I promote the extinction of the polar bears and I caused the flooding of New Orleans.

    Oh...and I use the grey water from my washing machine to water my lawn.

    I drive really fast and light up the tires once in awhile but I haven't been stopped yet so I guess that's not really a drain.

    I smoke the occasional cigar outside. My dogs frequently take a dump in my own yard. I've been known to pass gas occasionally. Sometimes in public. I like a brew or two of an evening. I've been known to imbibe a skosch of bourbon[:o)]. or three or four. I don't drive afterward. I have been known to engage in profane language upon occasion. I try to keep it in private.


    Other than that, I'll be damned if I can figger out anything that I do that might impose on others. I pay my own way, and ask for no assistance. I hope it always is so. Barring a beer truck running me down, or some such.

    Well let me see.

    I am too tall too wide and too heavy. [8D] I am on Medicaide and Medicare. I pull down some serious money from these two illegal sources. I know I have drawn out far more money than I ever paid in.

    My medicine bill per year is more than I get in Social Security. Please all you able bodied people could you get a second job I want a raise. [:D]

    P.S. I am not on food stamps so I can eat all the junk food I want.

    Edited for spelling

    I'm Grumpy wonder why.



    But to be honest there is one laid off so at this time I cannot complain about those recieving from the system. But would rather be working.

    Have only been able to buy one firearm since laid off. Got that one cause nobody outbid me[:o)]

    Really feel for those who are laid off. I'm a little more lucky since I draw a military retirement.

    How do I drain society? Hmmmm..... It depends on what "circle" you run in.

    I drive a 67 Camaro that runs so rich you can just about TASTE the gas if you aren't moving. The hybrid pushers would hate me.

    There is NO easy way to recycle where I live so if a tree hugger were to see my garbage they would cry.

    I don't like bugs or mice so there is a "circle of death" for these things surrounding my home due to poison and killing traps....so the environmentally concious peta types would hate me.

    I have three kids so the guys that think the planet is too crowded would hate me.

    I have put thousands and thousands of firearms into the hands of my customers.....so you I can imagine the anti-gun crowd equate me to the "devil."

    I watch TV with half the lights on in my home and two A/C units or heaters keeping the temp like we want it in our home.....I'm betting I wouldn't pass the "green" test if they gave it to me.

    I don't smoke....I do drink a little....I'm a bit overweight, but not bad.

    You can't make everyone happy. If you are looking for a gun loving, hard headed, fun to be around girl I fit the bill.....but after that I can't help you.

    I drink beer..and I fart noxious fumes.

    I discharge firearms, releasing toxic fumes into the air and dangerous metals into the earth.

    I eat meat, causing the untimely deaths of farm animals.

    I watch TV, but not he "approved" channels.

    I post at GB Forums.

    And, to top it off, I'm a Libertarian who voted for RP.

    By Obamanation's standards, I'm a threat to society.

    PS - I drive a 4x4 and Mrs. Loaf a SUV[:0]

    My paycheck comes from other people's taxes.

    I pay part of my paycheck to taxes, Social Security, and Medicare to help other people.

    I pay into a retirement system too.

    One day, I will stop working and draw from the retirement system what I paid in, plus interest, plus a 2:1 match, also paid for by the taxpayers.

    I reckon I take more than I give. Sorry.
