That story is in no way manufactured or copied. I have been very open with my sources and my opinions. Not once have I mis-represented myself or made an assertion without backing it up. To that point, you have recieved nothing but honesty from me.
I could give two hoots if this happened to someone else. I actually was relating something that happened to me in 1999. It was a Safeway in Aurora, CO. The same store I went to on a weekly basis. She was parked in the same aisle as I was (the middle one) and her car was red. She was also a very "healthy" women, if you get my drift.
I remember the event so clearly because it bothered me so much. I felt jipped.
I would ask that you refrain from making accusations like you did. I would not take this so personally, if it didn't happen to me.
Any one thing I CANNOT STAND, is someone who attacks my credibility or calls me a liar.
Enough said, good day.

<g> What accusation?
jeez, dude, get a grip!
The only thing I'm questioning is why you are ditching your work duties to post on an internet forum. Dontcha wanna be rich like your uncle Bill? You better get back to work: $50 dollars per hour X 60 hours per week X 52 weeks per year X 50 years (calculating on 18-68) will give you a near cool 8 mil before taxes. Just think, your whole life in overtime and without vacation to make nearly what a Gates or Bush made in the last hour from dividends! I think they say in Chicago "Such a deal..."
Anyway, back on track. I figure you probably did see something like that. You should have run that search I told you about--because I didn't say the other person was lying, either. What I did say was that 1 person out of 300 million people doesn't really mean jack shit.
It also doesn't do much good to speculate: the car might have not been her boyfriends (who knows they were even together), might not have been owned, might have been purchased before a layoff, might be a result of illicit money making, could be a friend, could be anything is the point here.
Mostly, though, it doesn't matter to me
at all because the stuff she bought was to support a
baby who isn't worthless and deserves to be in diapers and have food
just by virtue of being a US citizen. I get your drift, though. She was fat. I guess that means her children don't deserve a shot at the "good life" you all are purporting our nation to be full of. Guess what? I think I don't care if she went home and loaded a crack pipe and sat in front of a plasma televison (I have neither, btw), I'm happy my piddly 30% of earnings could only be used to purchase baby food, diapers, milk, vegetables, a few steaks or two (fuggit, I don't begrudge a fat, poor woman a bite at the good life. look at it this way, maybe she'll be tempted to work for a living
if you get my drift) or maybe, just maybe, she's too busy raising her child to worry about taking a $6 dollar an hour job at McD's that won't even pay rent.
Oh, that's right, one of the many tangents we've hit in this thread--a sustainable wage (which at least one person seems to think is a silly proposition). Here's what I think: pay people a wage that will allow them to pay their rent and put food on the table and we might encourage people to not live on the public dole (cuz we all know how glamorous it is to stand in line with a "wad" of funny money while some *cough* is evaluating your personal worth over your shoulder--she must have felt so damn rich under your gaze. Job well done in castigating a fellow citizen for her laziness...bravo
