You know it is crowded when...

Yep, they had it hard. They had chores, they had curfews, they had to do their homework and present us with their grades, projects and report cards, they had to sit down for a family dinner every evening, and they had to "suffer" a week's vacation twice a year, once in the summer and once during their Christmas break. It was just so awful for them.
You have conveniently overlooked that I never mentioned money until Openendedsky brought it up, in the same post where she/he/it called me a foul name. Using * of course.
Chemical engineering eh? So while you are contributing to the pollution of the world, the wife and I are helping cancer patients. Sorry, but you FAIL.

But your attitude towards others sufficiently shows your skewed perspective and classism against others for playing it cheap and doing things a different way than you. Oh, and knocking people who go to Walmart. I get that it's a money grubbing corporation, etc etc, but often times its a much better option for people, so your stereotypical remarks of the outside world were irrelevant and unneeded.

And in all honesty, sir, you ARE an if you honestly think that you're superior to others by the things you've listed without actually knowing anything about other people's lives other than what you would like to take upon yourself to assume.

First of all, "being raised in the 50s" was a good thing. We are virtually the last generation of Americans who understand personal responsibility rather than "gimme gimme gimme, it's not fair that others have more than me". Second of all, I could care less "how it's done in the UK". Third of all, the wife and I both could retire tomorrow, because of the EXCELLENT financial decisions we have made over the decades of achieving in our professional lives. Fourth of all, I have lots of compassion, I exhibit it in thousands of hours of year working with cancer patients and the physicians who treat them. Sadly this also includes children with cancer. Had to do scans on several of them today. Horrible for them and their families.
To the "college student" above: when you mature and get some life experience you might have something to say that I'll find worth listening to. To "Bloopers": I find that most of the people doing those "crappy" jobs are those who "do the jobs that Americans won't". To Emma: as I said, I could care less "how it is done in the UK". What's the unemployment rate there these days among 20-somethings? How's Ireland's doing financially?

Probably about as good as anywhere else right now. I'm not blind to this countries faults, but when you claim "europeaninsing" america is a negative thing, yes I am going to take offense. Hey remember when the dollar was stronger than the pound? Nope me neither.

And don't think for one second I have no repect for what you and your wife do. As the daughter of a woman who beat breast cancer at 36, I am well aware of the great things you and your wife do for people. Without others like you I probably wouldn't have her today. That wasn't my point. It's great that you have that income and you work so hard to save lives. Its the impression you give off that you believe that you are somehow above everyone else because of it. It just confuses me how someone in such a compassionate role in society can have so little compassion for others.

I noticed the slightly racist comment at the bottom. Not surprised really. Bravo for pushing the overly patriotic american sterotype.When I marry my American fiancé we plan to live in the States. I look forward to sharing a country with you, sir. I will not be pledging allegiance to your flag.

Hey, well, you know. Anybody who's struggling must automatically be getting handouts and leaching off of "HIS TAX MONEY".

 

[Bloopers]

AllDisneyAllTheTime: Compassion shouldn't only be limited to sick people. I respect you and your wife's career but I honestly don't understand where this God complex is coming from. I usually don't care to participate in these online quarrels but some of the things you said just bothered me. I actually enjoyed reading your inputs... till this thread.

The way people are responding to your posts should at least give you an inkling that there might be something wrong with your comments. The majority isn't always right, but in this case, they are. Not that you care. Eh.

Fellow UKer here! No country is safe from him! You say you plan on living in the states, has the offending poster given you permission to move there! Surely he's involved in these decisions!

Absolutely, Gosh how silly of me to not see it before!

Apparently so, again my bad. All Disney All The Time, please may I live in New America? I will get one of those jobs no real American would do so I'm not taking away from the money you accrued through EXCELLENT financial choices. BTW your name is a direct contradiction with your attitude. Just saying.

We "have money" because we made EXCELLENT choices in college majors, followed by EXCELLENT choices in employment, followed by EXCELLENT choices in post-graduate education and training, followed by EXCELLENT choices in where, how and why to receive certification and licensure. However, you have not surprisingly focused on us "having money" and conveniently overlooked the posts where I clearly state that we SAVE all year long for our annual pilgramage to WDW.

Do you really have nothing better to do than come on this forum and insult people? You did it in another thread I was a part of, and now this one? Goodness knows how many other threads you've trolled. You're nasty for no reason in a forum that is supposed to be about discussing Disney, not insulting others.

My family has made EXCELLENT financial decisions. They sent me to an EXCELLENT college and I was hired at an EXCELLENT job that I currently still work at. My sister is going to Yale, is that EXCELLENT enough of a college for you? And, guess what? My parents took us to the parks before we were three years old. My parents held our stuff like raisin bread and hats. And now that I'm older and afford to go to the parks myself because of my EXCELLENT paycheck, I bring a bag with me because it helps me hold my camera, wallet, and poncho. Not all of us is the magical man of a million pockets you claim to be. When I have a child I don't plan to bring a stroller, but I'll carry a bag to hold their stuff in. Just because you parent differently from others doesn't make what they do wrong or stupid. They're NOT lazy parents for holding their child's stuff, nor does that mean their children will turn out to be lazy or selfish.

Based on your actions here in this forum, I would have to agree with the girl who said she would dislike to see you as her parent. It's not the fact that you won't hold your kids' stuff -- it's the fact that you are putting down everyone responding to you and truly sounding like an arrogant jerk. There's no reason for you to be acting the way you do when others are merely just stating disagreements.
