[QUOTE="bruinfan617"]You act like you're the next French Rockefeller... There really is nothing to be proud about at all in thinking you are better than someone.

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"] I think it's funny how you say you are better than people and then talk about subjectivity. bruinfan617

You talk about being too proud to work fast-food and then lose all semblence of pride when you state you take advantage of fools.

Flipping burgers requires a WORK ETHIC. Gambling is something the homeless do on street corners when they're out of Jim Bean.

Yeah, a bunch of thugs rolling dice on a street corner isn't the only form of gambling. And I really hope that mispelling of Jim Beam is a typo because if it isn't it's pretty pointless to debate with you. I make my money from a combination of poker and sports betting. Neither are gambling any more than the stock market is gambling -- in fact less so. There is a much higher ROR for me with no risk of ruin. It's impossible to explain in a single post but basically with my skill level assuming I play within my bankroll in poker and properly wager units I will always, always, make money. Sure there will be variance but I have enough capital to withstand the highest possible swings so I have no risk of ruin.

And when I say gambling I don't mean I told my mom to put 50$ on a 50-1 shot at the racetrack and got lucky one time. I mean slowly and steadily gaining income by pushing edges and taking advantage of the foolish.

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"] Your posts actually speak for themselves on how I feel about you. But I will tell you that not everyone likes to **** people over and you shouldn't be ashamed of your first job being a fast food restaurant. I'd be more ashamed to not earn my money honestly. and "foolish" and "inferior". Ouch. Good luck getting down from that horse without breaking a leg. bruinfan617

I earned my money in a variety of ways -- whether or not you think it's honest is subjective. But I'll tell you it was a lot more fun/socially rewarding than flipping burgers. And you can't earn enough to buy a good car flipping burgers.

Buy candy in bulk and sell it at school like the kids from the WIresboyer2

[QUOTE="bruinfan617"] The amount of elitism is making me feel like a worthless human being right now. Actually, not really. bruinfan617

Probably best to exit the thread before you make an even bigger fool of yourself. Clearly you don't have enough basic logical or reasoning skills to express your views, or you just choose not to because you know they are inferior.

[QUOTE="Dylan_11"]As someone who apparently has yet to work in fast food I think we will all take your opinion on the matter with a grain of salt. We are talking about the TC here and now who is 14 years old. At that age fast food is a perfectly respectable job that he may even come to enjoy. Down the line if he is 30 and still works at McDonald's then maybe we have a problem, but we will cross that bridge when the TC gets to it.Dylan_11

It isn't respectable. There is no scenario where working in fast food is respectable -- maybe some of his peers will say oh ok he just needs money but most will just laugh at him for flipping burgers while they have fun.

Do I need to clean toliets for a living to know it's pathetic? How about scam some old ladies? It's the same point. You don't need to experience something to judge it.

[QUOTE="Dylan_11"]Make a fool of yourself? Fast food isn't a miserable job. That is a common misconception. More than likely he will be working with people from his school. He can make new friends, have fun at work and watch his bank account grow all at the same time. Dylan_11
