This really is going to be a good thread and bring out the stupid assed comments.

I am sorry that some folks do not have high paying occupations/jobs not everyone can. I don't have any animosity towards those who make more money than me when I know they work hard for it. I make what I make because it is risky, often dangerous, is a specialty, not many do it, take a lot of odd training. I found a place where I can make good money and that makes me a RUB that is part of the group that screws people.

What a moronic line of thinking and the lack of logic and thought behind this it may explain the low wage or at least a wage that makes the jealousy and goofy comments come out.
That is your rules and they don't mean **** to me. I don't even wear leathers. On my rigid, that I built, that I ride much more miles on than the majority of this site.

I do however, take offense to the idea that those of us who make good money do it by screwing people. That is the stupidest of many stupid comments in this well worn out topic

Frankly looking at the picts of many of you all, the bulk of the folks here look like yuppies/HOG riders trying to be hard. I don't give a **** what labels you all feel are important to steer you through your life. I am a man and that trumps all these other silly *** labels.
What a moronic sense of self-worth. And, I'm not sorry, you exude animosity and contempt to those who earn less than you. You imply that they don't work hard for what they do make. That thought pattern alone makes you contemptible and atop the RUB heap.

This is the only place I talked about people working. and you managed to miss it AND you managed to miss the simple theme of whatever a man does for an honest living that is what matters. Not how much he makes not who he is just that he does his best and makes an honest living. Now how can that be a bad message?

Implied? WTF are you talking about? If you are going to accuse someone of that you better have more than implied. show me where I said that. That is ****ing pathetic.

Or when I put my foot up my mouth should I just say oh sorry I was being sarcastic?

This is what I said and it is pretty much the exact opposite of what you accuse me of saying but of course you had to quote something else... And even that doesn't prove you point.

"Absolutely dude. Any man or woman making an honest living and doing what they can to bring home the bacon it top shelf in my book.

I used to hear people say if you don't buckle down you'll be a ditch digger or a garbage man etc. I always thought well they are making an honest living doing something that has to be done so what is wrong with it?

I know if I am ever unemployed, it will be for a short time. I will go work McDonalds, cut grass, be a janitor whatever it takes to make an honest living and not be on welfare or supported by the state.

An honest man or woman making an honest living is thew backbone of this nation. No matter how you look at it. they pay taxes, they buy products that move commerce, they do what they have to do to take care of the family.


It is the non working scumbag that takes from others that should be ashamed but is often worshiped."


I am not going to apologize because I have busted my *** to get where I am just because you have low self esteem and it bugs you.

And finally damn right I have self worth. And I don't apologize because I know exactly who and what I am. If that bugs you tough **** that sounds like a you problem.
