Oxygen thieves? ???

one thing that has been a pisser for me lately is that if a driver is only insured for 100k and say plows into someone who is parked and totals their vehicle and does life altering damage to a person in that vehicle the most you can get from their insurance is the 100k even if your medical bills where 200k. Of course you can sue them but chances are the dimwitted possibly drunk reckless driver won\'t have shite for assets to make a lawsuit worth while. This happened to my Grandma she was in the passenger seat parked along the main street in our town a 30 mph zone, some twit comes barrelling down the road swerves side swipes an on comming vehicle nails the back of her car then bounces back into on comming traffic wedging her car under a pick up. My Granma\'s car totaled, shoulder shattered and after a replacement her arm is still useless. Between the medical bills and lawyer she isn\'t going to be left with anything for pain an suffering, the fact that she can\'t drive anymore, future medical involved with the shoulder. Just seems like a load of shite that someone can drive like a looney wreck someones life and then not even have to be responsible for the friggin bill.

\"oxygen thief\" is my term for a large number of types of individuals. The list is quite long, but I\'ll give you two examples, and you\'ll get my meaning.
1. Individuals who have been on death row for 20 years and been proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt.
2. Individuals who are perfectly capable of making a contribution to society but refuse to do so, instead opting to procreate more for higher welfare checks. Don\'t get me wrong, I think welfare is a great system when used for what it was intended for, a helping hand for somebody who needs it, but not for people who exploit it because of their own laziness.
Understand what I mean now?
Here\'s another of mine: Celebrity worship.
There\'s no less than 10 television shows and countless magazines that cover every time a celebrity farts in public. This is a group that, taken as a whole, is probably more dysfunctional and radically narcissistic than any other on earth. I don\'t get the admiration and veneration these people garner.

People who complain about politics but don\'t vote when they are able. Follow that with people who do vote but don\'t have the intellect to know anything about what they are voting on.
Media Objectivity - 4000 US troops die in the Iraq war in 5 years and every paper in the US has it as a headline. Almost 13000 US citizens are killed by drunk drivers in a year and it rarely makes the headlines - except for the times when the beer is buckled and the drivers aren\'t.
It ain\'t easy being green - just ask Kermit. But I\'m not a frog - so I don\'t have to be.
Most of the people who want the starving people of Africa fed are the ones that want coal power plants in Africa banned. How can a country industrialize and start producing its own food without a standard power supply?
Ethanol as a fuel source. It is less efficient to manufacture and more difficult to work with but is hailed as the second coming of fuel efficiency. (Applies to the US only - Brazil can grow ethanol a lot cheaper and has a better established system to support it)
People who smoke around their kids.

Depends on who you talk to. I believe it makes you a free-thinker. That can be bad in some circles. Personally I find it a bit refreshing if risque\':redface:

Agreed - the whole green/carbon footprint thing is getting real old.
I think I would have an easier time with the green thing if it was less expensive. Last time I checked, a large many of the more renewable resources were more expensive...like installing solar panels and such. It would be much easier to get folks to recycle more and purchase renewable products if it was easier.
On a similar note...I often hear complaints about the eating habits of the lower income families. Truth is, a bunch of bananas will cost more than a few boxes of mac and cheese, and won\'t go as far at filling the tummies of a family of four. Many of the low income moms I know are doing the best they can with what they have, but filling the tummy is the first priority, making sure the meal is balanced and contains whole foods rather than processed comes in second.
And whoever said \"people who smoke around their kids,\" I totally agree.
