What undeserved privilege?I just wish, above all else, that everyone would recognize their undeserved privilege.

What undeserved privilege?
I think he was making a commentary on the New American sense of entitlement. The pursuit of happiness has become the expectation of it. We are very fortunate, and many of us may not deserve it. We are squandering our wealth, our geopolitical moral highground, and are becoming a worse nation for it. IMO
Also, we're getting much dumber.
I expect to happy. I just don't expect anyone else to MAKE me happy.
Not all of us our fortunate, and not all of us are undeserving of our fortune should we have it. Some people have worked damn hard to get where they are. I just take issue with being told (or it being assumed) that I am "undeserving" of what I may have.
However your understanding of the pursuit of happiness is correct.
Greed, envy, my inate childlike petulance and jelousy at those who work hard all their lives while I am a lazy loser unwilling to better myself so I want others to suffer and gimme all thier hard earned cash and Damn them Jews how dare they move into a dessert and turn it into a paradise while a bunch of stupid Arabs who deserve to have it for nuttin and for God's sake leave the borders wide open cause if theirs one thing I enjoy as much as stalking Tashah, mmmmm, Tashah, it's giving up jobs to those who will bring a gazillion relatives to our nation illeagally and don't they deserve stuff more than you or I, I mean who cares if they can't speak the language, the more better to tear down our allready abissmal education system that turns out idiots like jallman spurns hot babes which in the end will end up dismantling our military how dare they protect us from ICBM's and terrorists attacks cause this is America dammit and they have just as much right to be not profiled as I do to not to wear pants.
"political idealogy"? Thats such a stupid thing to say. I mean, I dont know if its just your love of words not commonly used, or what. Why dont you word it differently? How about: "What influences your opinions?"
that question is immensely different than the one you are asking.

man.
He's always doing that, acting all high and mighty, standing on his pedestal of arrogence, lecturing us haughtily and "tsk, tsking" us to beat the band while he sips tea with pinky extended telling us to "eat cake".
Friggin guy even got made a "moderator" in "The Basement". Not sure what that is all about but I hear it's very snobby down there. Mind your "P's" and "Q's. Shirley it's not the kind of place I'd be associated with. Let alone posting down there.
Yea, jallmans got a BIG book of phrases he keeps pulling out on us making us all google like our life depended on it. He says things like, "moral relativism" "bipartisanship" "quid pro quo" "Pez" "neo-cons" and "rhino".
Not sure what all that means but more than likely they have no place on a political debate forum.
If I were you I keep on doing exactly what you are.
You're winning.
No, really, you are.
This is one of the downright, funniest posts I have ever witnessed. I think I'm still crying from laughing so hard.
I became frustrated with the political armed force game when i was refused entry into the armed forces of this great country at the age of 16. the Army , Navy or the Air Force could have given me a DESK JOB OR WORK IN THE FOOD SLOP THAT THE GOVERNMENT FEEDS TO THE GUYS THAT FIGHT TO KEEP AMERICA FREE!!.
I am that guy who was born a cripple (Scoliosis in 1932.)In 1935 I got Polio from the neck down. I was healed well enough to leave two hospitals after ten years.
But at the age of 16; my; government thought that i was not servicable even behind a desk. Today it finally has happened. The armed forces take back the guys injured from IRACK AND AFPACKISTAN. (In case u don't notice the mispelled words they r there to show HANDYCAPABILITY.
NOW i am a very strong advocate for NATIONAL free health care only because i met the Warden on this forum. i am mr tony
My parents, grandparents, experiances, and the Bible and my conscious influenced me.
Shut up, you liar.
Your conscious, or did you mean your conscience?
Now, now. Let's not work ourselves up into a tizzy.
