Excusing mediocrity is just as much a part of the problem as their psuedo-inability to improve their situation.
This is like calling a paraplegic lazy for not getting off the couch and walking to the refrigerator. Sure, there
are those people who are just too fucking lazy to go to the refrigerator, but then there are also those who, for any variety of reasons, are simply unable to do so. Many people make excuses, but not necessarily all of them do.
Again, I'm not even saying that
most poor people
aren't lazy. There's not really a way to accurately quantify that. However, I think it's a stretch to assume that all or most poor people are lazy, and that all they really need to do is just go find a better job. There are too many factors to boil the solution down to this overly simple statement.
Degrees, Honey... If you don't keep your yard maintained as well as the rest of the neighborhood, you don't necessarily have reprehensible moral standards. You just lack the same standards or localized accepted norms of your neighbors.
You explicitly stated in an earlier post that they lack
morals. You also stated that they lack
values. Thus, you can try to hold onto this whole "standard" argument all you want, but you obviously made references to their lack of morals as well.
Well SugarShorts, we could throw all thorts of thynonymths out there, but they would be just azth inappropriate. Maybe, we could try one of the following; disgraceful, abominable, despicable, disgusting, abhorrent, rotten, vile, demeritorious, delinquent, deplorable, opprobrious, disreputable, ignominious, inglorious, miscreant... After all, thynonymths mean the exact thame thing. Intelligence be damned!
Let's try this again, shall we?
I use the phrase "morally reprehensible." You say, "No, no, no! That's not what I said. I said they have lower
standards." But, in reality, you also said they lack
morals and have lower
values, not just some vague concept of
standards that could apply to the manner in which they manicure their pubic hair. You then went on to state that you would "mock" and "berate" them for this lack of morals/values/standards.
rep·re·hen·si·ble/ˌrepriˈhensəbəl/Adjective: Deserving censure or condemnation.
cen·sure/ˈsenSHər/Noun: The expression of formal disapproval.
Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but if you mock and/or berate someone for their lack of morals, then you are expressing disapproval of their morals. And if their morals are deserving of your censure, then they are considered morally reprehensible by you. This is not some grand stretch using weakly related synonyms as you make it out to be. But then, of course, you plainly deny stating anything about their morals when, in reality, it's clearly there in your post, so it's obviously going to take a miracle to have you acknowledge any of this if you don't even recognize what's blatantly stated in your own posts.
