&& I WANKED
I was going to write a report on the latest vegetarianism wank in ljsecretland, but then I saw the comments generated by another. This one has wank over punctuation AND class rolled into one secret!

Today(July 27th)'s ljsecret post has a secret from a girl from a rich family whining about how her friends OMG, make her feel bad for having piles of money &&* she thinks people just need to work hard to get rich. Naturally this gets a reaction, both from people who think she's immature and who want to knife people that use &&.


specialcamper: At first I was reading this secret thinking "Okay, that's fair", but the more I read it, the more pissed off I got. Then when I read the line "if their families knew how to work hard", I realized this person is a complete asshole.
nekoama: Srsly to the max. What enclosed space does she live in?

volkanator: stop whining about "oh poor me everyone's jealous just b/c i'm rich and i don't have to work"....maybe you should TRY working and see why everyone complains in the first place.


weasleytook: You know, I was fine with your secret until you got to the part about "Maybe if they worked hard, they'd be rich too", because that's fucking bullshit. Most of the incredibly hard-working people in the world are still barely making ends meet, so being rich has nothing to do with how hard you work.


sixseventytwo: One "&" will suffice, thanks.
Wtf is up with the whole && trend?
margalite: It's a thing used in computer programming, but somehow I have a hard time beliving the poster is a computer programmer. *shrugs*
sixseventytwo: Really?
I've noticed it as a trend among dumb chicks on the internet, is that really where it started?


corvaxxx: working hard has nothing to do with it. plenty of people work very hard at their job doing exhausting manual labor all day for minimum wage. plenty of people get paid six figure salaries to do nothing.
A mouse: The thing she doesn't realize is that if not for the people out there busting their asses for little pay, she likely wouldn't have most of her luxuries. Who works in factories making her luxury cars? Who works in sewing shops making her designer clothes? What about the truck drivers who deliver it all? Who works at the restaurants or catering companies that serve her food? And while these may not be the most impoverished people in the workforce, I'm sure she considers them "below" her family socially. What a dumb bitch. She's the reason the middle and lower income classes resent the rich.


exitdamozel: Notice, it's funny, how you said that people's families should work harder but you don't seem to value working yourself.
I truly, truly hope that you one day aspire to something greater than this.


videostores: Have fun when Daddy leaves you nothing after he dies and you're trapped at 35 with no money, no education and nothing to show for your shallow life other than your latest overpriced designer item when you didn't do a damn thing to deserve it.

fightfor_this: also a little heads up. it happens many times... i don't know if your dad owns his own company or what. but money goes away. his stock might fall out of nowhere. he might get sued just from one tiny car accident and lose a lot. ANYTHING can happen. also look into what just happened with tori spelling.
all i'm saying is don't be a bitch. and be happy with what you have, cuz it can all be gone in a split second.


hibiro: 63 - I hope your precious Daddy loses his job and all his money. Or should I say, "his job &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& all his money"?


I'm resisting the urge to go in and fap myself ("poor people are just lazy" attitudes piss me off) but the comments on the secret about the tampon are keeping me sufficiently amused.

*Apparently, using two ampersands instead of one is the latest Internet trend for "scene" teens (who, as I understand it, are emo MySpacers who wear roughly 10 pounds of eye makeup and/or wear their hair over their eyes, and dress in trendy gawth clothes). Nobody knows why this is.
