Alot of this thread sounds like a bunch of closeted liberalism. If one whines like a liberal, sits on their rear like a liberal, acts negative like a liberal, and thinks there is no hope like a liberal, hates evetyone else’s success like a liberal, they are a liberal, quite simply.
The only thing one can control is their actions. Don’t like something? Take action to change it. Do stuff like work harder, change the entitlement mentality, help others achieve their goals, fitness or otherwise.
I see a total lack of the understanding of how the economy and business operate. Ask anyone who goes into business. It’s to make profit, nothing more, nothing less.
No one goes into business to “provide jobs”, or “give back to the community”, or other goody 2 shoes liberalspeak. Whether it’s the landscaper and his pickup truck, or the super retailer. It’s the money, and it’s nothing evil about it.
Why is it when “everyone else” gets the money, or gets the built body, it’s somehow “wrong”? while, hey, when I get those things, “I worked hard for it and deserve it”??[/quote]
People will always bitch about what they don’t have, and put down others that have gotten or achieved. People like to bitch and moan about how rich people don’t deserve thier wealth and they do because they feel as though they have done enough to deserve it while thinking that those damn rich people need to get a “real” job and know what it’s like to be like the rest of us.
When a man or woman achieves a physique with years of dedication and hard work, the couch potato will always find a way to demean them. “Oh, if he/she had a life, kids, no time to spend 3 hours a day in the gym, because of having to work for a living then he/she could never have that kind of body” or the wannabe at the gym with the 10lb dumbbell, tight wife beater showing off the 13in guns, $300 workout apparal would say “oh, that dude is on drugs, no way he could get that kind of body, no way! and if it weren’t for the drugs there is no way he could bench 400lbs, no way! It’s impossible! and he’s doing it all wrong, squats tear up the knees and dead lifts destroy the back, and he’s repping too fast but he is that big cause of drugs!”
Whenever I’m in a conversation or even around someone who bitches about how it’s unfair that people in charge or high up in a company get paid so much but don’t do the “real” work. I always ask, if you were in that position where you had to make decisions ranging from hours, hiring, delagating tasks, firing people, etc etc. They always say “hell yeah! easy!” and sure enough when those same people that actually do take that step in management, they don’t know what hit them and hate the responsiblity. Same goes for that wannabe gym warrior that only bitches about his/her shortcomings. Tell them to actually workout, add squats to their routine, push hard through their workout sessions like there was no tomorrow, eat properly, nine out of ten will go back to their usual way and go back to bitching about others success.
It seems the majority of people would rather be bitter about what they don’t have rather than appreciating what they have and can achieve themselves, if only they had the determination. So what if you have an $8 an hour job, you aren’t unemployed, and it’s paying for the roof over your head and the food you eat, it may be just barely making it but it’s better than being unemployed and living outside digging in the trash for food. And so what if your body isn’t nearly as great as the best physiques of your gym, try to become the best you can possibly be. Sorry for the preachy rant, being around lots of family and friends the past week had me surrounded with all this kind of talk.
