58. Your life is going in the right direction: good for you!

Thu Feb 27, 2014, 11:24 PM

Feb 2014

I'm happy for you. Sounds like things have really turned around.

Have fun manipulating people like me whose lives have hit a rough patch. Increase your fully-on-display feelings of smugness, convince yourself that your turnaround was entirely due to your own efforts, and within a year, you'll be deciding which Republican to honor with a campaign donation, the money provided by those people you love to manipulate.

I think that's the way you're going.

BTW - 6 years ago, I was pulling down a six-figure salary. Owned a home and watched my portfolio. Yes, I've been in the territory into which you're now heading. Enjoy it, because it is enjoyable. But make some wise investments, as I did, because you may need to draw on them if things take a turn for the worse.

They seem to be upset about the use of "Bullshit Artist" as a synonym for "Liar". Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #212

Maybe because "Bullshit Artist" **IS** a synonym for "Liar". baldguy Feb 2014 #292

Actually, ProSense Feb 2014 #171

A bullshit artist is a bullshit artist. Even if he has a (D) after his name. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #180

You prefer "Snake Oil Salesman"? Or, just plain "Liar"? Of course, "Politician" would do. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #189

Are you having trouble understanding that it's still just name calling? n/t ProSense Feb 2014 #190

So, give me a "name" you prefer to Bullshit Artist? I gave you options. Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #193

So, it's the style of saying liar not the substance of saying liar? Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #353

It is a poorly researched diatribe against loosely connected phenomena Pretzel_Warrior Feb 2014 #356

Sooo...Obama had nothing to do with what Will pointed out? Tierra_y_Libertad Feb 2014 #377
