this is damn stupid, brtd.


im still not exactly sure what a 'mcmansion' is.  is it a house with a lawn and drive way?

if that is the case, yes that is far superior to living in a dumpy apartment pissing away money on hyper-inflated rent and living at the mercy of a crooked landlord.

since when did owning a house become 'uncool'?

kids today.  i just dont get them

I guess so.

As already stated, McMansions are large homes built out of cheap materials, that are sold at cheap prices way out in the exurbs. I think the cheapy-built part is the largest criticism of them.

Don't worry, worker.  At the rate you're going, you'll probably stay cool.

you dont know anything about me.

i just made a move in my life.  to be an 'owner', you seem to have an odd inability to move away from mommy and daddy.  i thought you were rolling in the dough.

I don't think he's making that much. He probably lives on about the same level I do in the US. He could probably live much more comfortably if he saved all his money, but we know what he does half the year in Thailand. Of course, I would most certainly live on my level than in a McMansion, so I say he's doing the right thing.

he is obviously a parasite, brtd.

why do you idolize him?

he is a grown man he lives on his parents money.  my god the man has to pay for bjs. 

it's laughable that he looks down on so many people.  he is quite pathetic.

No, they are.  I have a bit that comes to me regardless, and a bit that is directly mooched, if you see what I mean.  In any case, WalterMitty, no one is really an owner until they inherit, are they?

I don't think he's making that much. He probably lives on about the same level I do in the US.

I find I consume about $2,000/month in Thailand and about $2,500/month in the US.  The difference is when I'm here the parents will pretty much foot the bill.

ok, and you think 'workers' are beneath you?

if we took a random survey of 100 people and told them your lifestyle, 99 would think you were a pathetic human being.

i laugh everytime you try to put someone down.

People who go around putting others down are just covering for their own inadequacies.

And to answer the original question, yes, you can be a liberal and live in a McMansion.  It happens all the time.
very true.

i still find it funny that an 'owner' cant gather up enough resources to move his ass out of 'the bad place'.

there is a lot about opebo that doesnt add up.

That's because he's not an owner.  He's no different than a welfare recipient, except that his source of welfare is private rather than public.

He can't wait for his parents to die, so he can inherit their supposedly vast fortune, since now they have him on a very limited income, so limited that he can't even live all year in a 3rd world country without coming home to mooch for several months a year.

My guess is that they don't have half the money he says they do.  And when they die, they'll probably have it tied up, so he's not any better off than he is now.  Or if they're smart, they'll leave it to the Cat Foundation.

SamSpade is a much better example of a person from a wealthy family who has done something constructive with it, and doesn't put down other people who weren't born into that situation.

yeah, d-man, i have doubts too.  ive lived long enough to know that most people who brag about having money usually never have as much as they claim.

regardless. i dont think being a landlord in podunk missouri qualifies you as a member of the elite.

im curious as to how opebo is taxed.  it is obvious that mommy and daddy give him a yearly sum, which he pisses away in a few months in thailand and then must return home until the next annual payment is made.  isnt there an $11,000 annual gift limit before uncle sam takes his share?
