A general and increasing sense of entitlement coupled with a lack of personal responsibility. Freedom is not for irresponsible people.

@redredred SO true!

@redredred Your words out of context are true. From what you've written elsewhere, I can guess your thinking behind it: People who are poorer and darker than you must be made to suffer even more cruelly for being poor and dark, and Jesus doesn't want your tax money to go towards helping those less fortunate than you.

@MissPriscillaPrim I don't believe in Jesus and I don't respond to straw man arguments concocted by halfwits. Argue those points with yourself, you wrote them.
MissPriscillaPrim · 70-79, T
@redredred Go "argue" yourself, too.
redredred · M
@MissPriscillaPrim I dont hear imaginary voices so no, I won't argue them.

@redredred That's not clever even by your low standards.
redredred · M
@MissPriscillaPrimSeriously, how would you ever recognize "clever"
MissPriscillaPrim · 70-79, T
@redredred You vile shit-slinger, one glance at my writing shows what a clownishly, inappropriately, not to mention stunningly willfully feeble-minded remark that is.

@MissPriscillaPrim touched a nerve there, didn't I bucky?

@redredred Well said. And Google.

@redredred Gee ... I don't think MPP wants to be your friend.
redredred · M

@redredred Only thing that enraged me is how a human being can act proud to behave in such a loathsome, willfully unthinking manner, especially after sermonizing about the irresponsible not deserving freedom. Can't reflect, can you? Too typical of today's right-wingers.

@MissPriscillaPrim My apologies truly.

@MissPriscillaPrim I am not obligated to support your positions. It is my opinion, as stated, that therevis ageneral lack of personal responsibility and a growing sense of entitlement. That is my opinion borne out by my life experience. I was orphaned in my late teens, put myself through college and grad school working every day of my life. I raised three daughters after my wife died and didnt ask anyone to bear my burden.

I know what works and thats personal responsibility. Only a fool thinks it takes a village. You are not a generous person simply because youre willing to spend my money.

Hers a thought experiment for you: Detail precisely how one man's need becomes another man's obligation. Give me each step in the process without relying on some notion of how I'm supposed to care.

@redredred Good for you, having made it through such adversity. Not everyone is as lucky as you, and I see no reason why that should be a reason to let them suffer. If you can live with yourself and your life-is-tough, screw-you-I-got-mine philosophy, well, I shake my head and ignore you from hence.

@MissPriscillaPrim It wasnt luck, bitch, it was hard work, personal responsibility and a refusal to plead entitlement, you know, sort of the point of my original comment.
MissPriscillaPrim · 70-79, T
@redredred Oh, I can't let that go. What good is personal responsibility if some serious illness or accident befalls you and you're saddled with a six-figure hospital debt causing you to lose your home, because we are the only industrialized country in the entire world where health care is a luxury? I've met many people living on the street in such a situation, who did nothing to deserve such calamity. Think it couldn't happen to you? No wonder you use such a name.
Are you aware that for many decades, "Red" was understood by everyone to symbolize the blood of the common workers, the leftists? Until in 2000, when the GOPigs stole the election from Gore (proven fact), they appropriated "red" for use by their base, those too stupid to remember any more than the first two letters R-E from Republican.
redredred · M
Is there something about tortured imagery that attracks leftists? it must simehow be related to their tortured "logic".

Actually, I have been hit by a drunk driving a truck.I was trapped inside my VW bug as it caught fire. I got myself out. Personal responsibilty, you know. @MissPriscillaPrim

@redredred That irrelevant and abusive rambling is the best you can do, huh?
MissPriscillaPrim · 70-79, T
@Abrienda No apology needed, Miss. In fact, thanks for what you wrote; I'd never tried to Google my pseudonym before. Now I know I'm not the only "Miss Priscilla Prim" active on the Net.
Abrienda · 26-30, F
@MissPriscillaPrim Yes though it is odd you had ever reason to think yours would be unique!
MissPriscillaPrim · 70-79, T
@Abrienda Oh, please don't assume that. I'd simply never bothered to search. Actually surprised I found only one other.
redredred · M
if i were you id go easy on your critique of incoherent rambling; it seems to be all youve got.@MissPriscillaPrim
