And since you were an English major, a major known as "poverty", ("What are you majoring in?" "Poverty ... I mean, English"), one would think that your own situation would rear its ugly head before you deride Simon.

My English major was merely the first step towards getting my Library Science degree.
You are right in thinking that English Major is not the most employable field.
On the other hand, when coupled with anything else, such as Education (which I also took many classes in)... Well, are there more English teachers and professors (and thusly, more job opportunities), or more Philosophy?
(The answer, BTW, is that there are far more English teachers and professors. If my own college experience is any indication, English profs outnumber Philosophy profs about 8 to 1.)
But what it boils down to is: Your skin is too fucking thin. AND, Simon doesn't need YOU "defending" him. He's a bright boy, and will probably have a successful career, even for a Philosophy major.
I was making a joke. Everybody knows it. Your obsessive, pathological Rob-hatred has made you react irrationally. Seek therapy, quickly.

Whatever Rob. You're a conservative who moans and bitches about welfare-queens, but doesn't see the irony in being too lazy to get a second or a third job or whatever it took to move out on your own, instead choosing to blame your employers for your low pay. You're the one with the thin skin, and on instances like this when you're pegged so squarely, all you can do is fume and rage and bemoan your sad existence. Y'know, you're sort of like a mouse stuck in a mouse-trap saying "Hey, why you gotta be a playa'-hata'?" But, see, in the same manner as the mouse in question is mistaking the attention as directed entirely at him alone, so are you mistaking a hatred for hipocitical conservatives as some sort of agenda directed again you alone. Whatever, Rob, frankly, you're just not that memorable.

You're stuck in some bizarre kind a time warp, Jeffy. Probably because you have no connection to reality. I've never, EVER used the phrase "welfare queen," I haven't said word one about my salary in almost TWO YEARS (except to note its dramatic increase when I got a NEW JOB.) And in any case, YOU'RE the one moaning about his existence in this thread. I didn't say a thing about it until you brought it up.
Whatever. I do believe that you've finally convinced me that you're COMPLETELY insane.

Oh, but Rob, I do know that. I know that after moaning about your low salary you finally got off your lazy ass and got a better paying job - wasn't that about when you moved out on your own? I mean, I'm the kind of guy who would've gotten a second or a third job to support myself, rather then be a financial burden to my parents. I guess it's the liberal in me, seeking to pay my own way.

Surely you are in college now, being only 20?
Jeff: Why...the shaved head? Are you trying to look dangerous?
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Given that I paid for everything from the food I ate to the electricity I used, and that I provided a free source of physical labor (keeping 73 acres of forest and field fit and trim isn't exactly cake for people in their fifties, you know - try resurfacing a red-dog road on a hill after a thunderstorm washes it out sometime)*, the idea that I was a "financial burden" to my parents when I had a job and lived at home is... well, we're back to your being insane again. My parents never paid a cent for my upkeep after I got that job. The ONLY thing I saved money on was rent. And since my parents OWN their home, they paid the same in taxes whether I lived there or not.
*And they returned the favor by acting as cheap labor when I renovated my apartment before I moved in.

I assumed it was for the surgery.

Funny, I was thinking the same thing about you, since you've done nothing BUT whine since this thread started.

Whatever Rob. Face it - you made a comment about Simon's "homeless" lifestyle, and when I made a similar comment about your own situation, you flew off the handle. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.
