cue the Wally's food addiction retorts...

Jello, Wally is good people. Salt of the Earth type. I admire that he wears his heart on his sleeve and stands by his guns, but is open to hearing both sides of an issue and learning...

but when it comes to certain issues... He makes no bones about where he stands....

nothing wrong with that.

No silly. Why would anyone ever want to meet in Dover, NJ?

Theres not a whole lot in DE, either except horses and poker. DE is a terrible state. Wal-Mart central.

I just always remembered it was basically the halfway point when I used to go to AC a lot.

You know, forget about Dover. I dont want to ever be in DE unless Im just driving through.

if it's half way to AC, then that's not half way between you and me. I'm a little over 2 hours north of AC.
 
I just think its funny that I never said anything about looking down on anyone. I just said some people make me cringe. Then Wally extrapolates that into me being some kind of a snob...which are people who he doesn't like. All the while admitting he doesn't really just love everybody all the same (snobs, druggies, pimps, prostitutes) while never even realizing how that could be perceived as a wee bit hypocritical.

So Wally can not like certain types of people but he'll decide what types of people you are allowed to not like and why.

Ok uncle wallyballz.
 
Jello, now you are justifying.

I did what happens often. I took a single post and tried to make an issue out of it. You have done it, other do it and I did it. Jello, I have always liked ya and still do but no-one is off-limits. Your comment that that place was WalMart central opened the door to interpretation and I chose how I interpreted it. I then sarcastically questioned you about it. You could have chose any number of ways to deal with it but you elected to get personal and label me as sanctimonious.

As for being a hypocrite you might be correct but I don't attempt to circumvent by displacing blame. I stand behind what I like or don't like. You can like or dislike anything you wish, just be firm in your convictions.

Jello. I am enjoying this little give and take.

You can call it sensitive and maybe most would agree. I call it being raised to see people as equals. Not just different races or male and female but all walks of life. Now obviously I have my discrimination, I don't care for drug addicts, alcoholics, bigots, superficial types, among others. I don't think I am better than they are or anything, it's just not my cup of tea and tend to not associate with it much.

I have to explain cause I'll catch hell if I don't.

By alcoholics or drug addicts I am talking about those who can't function without it. People who have thrown their life away or hurt others due to their addictions.

Wally, why do you have so much disdain for addicts? What have they ever done to you?

Rarely does an addict go through their addiction alone. Often there are many casualties along the way, family members, friends whatever. It's fine that the addict chooses their path but those loved ones or victims (of drug related crimes) didn't sign on for it yet they suffer as well.

How many alcohol related accidents happen every year and how many of those claim the life of an innocent not at fault person?

On a more personal level I can't tell you how many kids I have coached over the years who had real potential, not all at athletics but at life. So many of those same kids got mixed up in drugs and wound up in jail and fucking up their entire life. Some overcome but too many don't.

I realize many of these things could and do occur without drugs or alcohol but you can't hate everything in life I guess.

Wally, how come I am the bad guy for not picking up on your sarcasm but YOU are blameless for not picking up on mine?

Sanctimony? Hypocrisy??

If you can say you were being sarcastic then I can admit I didn't pick up on it. Never said you were being the bad guy I just love good rebuttals. Jello can you say you were being sarcastic?
 
Jello
My sarcasm was equal to the amount that I perceived in this post.

Does that answer your question?

I'm not a fan of that jello. When you do it that way it allows you an out without ever having to commit. You are turning the decision over to the other person to decide for themselves if what the person is saying is really what they mean or not. Nah, that doesn't work for me cause I might be willing to give you a pass and credit you with being too clever.

I'll take your word for it Jello but I'll be needing you to confirm with a resounding yes or no I was being sarcastic. Or don't, that's cool too but I'll not be deciding if that answers my question or not. I asked, I shouldn't have to answer as well.

Wally, the assumption that addicts choose their path is a bit naive. Not only is there a physical dependency on certan substances, but to assume that those people come from emotionally stable upbringings and aren't dealing with their own emotional traumas by hurting themselves leaves out a lot of understanding. For a lot of addicts, their family is a large part of the problem.

By the way, how many alcohol-related accidents are the fault of addicts versus people who are simply out having a good time?
 
omg guys, knock it off. who cares. walmart is taking over and ruining down town small business, however walmart also creates jobs and allows people to buy lower prices (wholesale) and not the bumped up prices at mom and pop retailers. i don't shop at walmart.. i don't care for it. but i do love target. it's no better, just slightly more hip. anyway, theres two sides to this. but in america walmart has every right to open up in Podunk Middle-America and all over america for that matter, and eat away at local shops while giving the people a chance to save money by buying discounted merchandise.
 
You know as well as I do there is noway of determining the number of DUI related deaths are from addicts and how many are from simple too much to drink but in either event the impaired shouldn't have been on the road.

I can accept I am naive about the addiction. I will go you one better and admit to be completely, stubbornly biased to addiction. I will also admit that in many cases said addiction might stem from family, or other traumatic event.

I do understand addiction though. I am a compulsive addictive personality.

I don't think my stance on addiction is necessarily right but I also don't think trying to justify or make excuses for the addiction is beneficial either.
