Javier, there is no dishonor in working for a living, no matter what the job. I may have to disagree with you on some things, but I certainly don't want you to leave. I find all this gnashing of teeth and growling a little silly, but if one is attacked and insulted you have to expect a defensive response.
And for the rest of us...this is just a public forum. It's not life or death. We come here to discuss, to joke, to share, and yes to argue. Maybe we all need to get a grip and relax. If my attitude pisses my friends or enemies off so be it, but there is no need to sweat the small stuff. And this is small stuff. So, ban me, shoot me, hate me, love me, whatever, thats my stance, for what its worth.
Don't fall for it, leo. Javier is "doing her thing". If you read the crap she (and her crew) posts on Dixie Dirt site, you wouldn't feel so sorry for her - which is what she's trying to pull here.
I never, at any time, put down a janitor for his work. If someone creeped me out that happened to be a janitor, so what? But I don't remember the conversation or the thread. Of course Javier is welcome to find it and post the link.
I don't look down on people because of their occupation/salary; I look down on people who have no class and who are discourteous. Class is behavior and anyone can have it - regardless of income; they just don't have it because they don't try.
And they just love to say I'm a snob because they have nothing else in their arsenal.
I'm friends with people of all ages, races, religions and economic circumstances - and even a few atheists (horrors!). Simple as that. I'm guessing - based on what I've read on the Dixie Dirtbag - that none of them have any friends outside of their own race. There are some pretty ignorant and racist posts on that site. (Javier's so-called "disability" doesn't seem to impede her typing on the Dixie Dirtbag site as she claims it does here.)
And I never said a person shouldn't take any medication at all for depression. It's another one of Javier's tricks to "Reader's Digest" what someone says. I said medication is over-prescribed in this country. Now is that the same thing as saying no one, at any time, under any circumstances should take antidepressants?
I've tried to post on here and avoid them, but can't help them coming after every other post of mine trying to get my attention. If they'd just leave me alone on here, all would be well.
And if you'll notice, Jugflier is the one who chimed in on this particular thread - trying to start something.
