without health care and without respite. They reason that people used to work at least 14 hours a day, six days a week for low pay and that somehow made us strong.

They never seen themselves as being the problem, that their own softy lifestyles are weakening the human race.

The only response to such men is "What do you know about work, you fucking wimp? Men with nice manicures just dont understand that most of the world's work wrecks our bodies.

It won't do any good, but it makes me feel better.
