Politicians
Preachers
Lawyers

Such people are parasites off society as a whole and seek to drain it for their own personal gain. They espouse the lie that they work to serve society as a whole when in actuality they seek to force society to conform to their own view of the world and rarely live up to the example themselves.

Artists and engineers create wealth, lawyers and politicians redistribute it.

Fixed

No need to be fixed. Fundies and Extremists are essentially the same thing.

In his novel 'The Afghan', Frederick Forsyth gives a pretty good rundown of the differences between fundamentalism and extremism. I can't be arsed to type it here, but you should pick it up sometime, or at least browse through it at your local Borders, Barnes & Nobles or whatever it is you have around..

Can I have your phone number? I want to call you at around 6:00 in the evening or later, and ask if you want to buy something.

Anybody who whines about their job, whines about the state of the country/politics, (and who do absolutely NOTHING to change either of these things), people who whine about what other people do when it has no bearing on them.

Sure you can have my number. I am usually at work at that time so feel free to call, if you want, you can call even later; we are open 24/7.

BTW in order to talk to me you will have a purchase a subscription. I think you may be able to get basic one for about $300/month.

My point was that while some of the people here "hold in utmost contempt" the careers of others, I do not. I hold in contempt people who make blanket statements about politicians, lawyers, cops, whathaveyou. People should stop whining about that kind of crap.
