You've gotta be a "boot-leg butcher," i.e. someone who sneaks meat up the back passage.

I tried to explain to him that I don't 'swing' that way but he's desperate & over compensating with his new truck.

They go to church, dance in the aisles, talk in tongues, then go home and drink themselves into a coma to forget the pain of their miserable lives. They claim they love America and say it is the greatest country in the world. And then proceed to start every discussion with “THE TROUBLE WITH THIS SOCIETY IS” and then go on to whine and moan who unfair things are and how their misery is everyone else’s fault

Selfishness at the expense of others can make one have an easier existance. i am sure George Bush and Dick cheney are very happy. They do not not give ashit that he fucked you all over. Fat, dumb and happy applies to most republicans.Deep thinkers are happy yet often disturbed when faced with injustice to others. Just read here on this board and you can see it for yourself how they think.

Conservatives Happier Than Liberals - Yahoo! News

Individuals with conservative ideologies are happier than liberal-leaners, and new research pinpoints the reason: Conservatives rationalize social and economic inequalities.

Regardless of marital status, income or church attendance, right-wing individuals reported greater life satisfaction and well-being than left-wingers, the new study found. Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a person's tendency to justify, or explain away, inequalities.

The rationalization measure included statements such as: "It is not really that big a problem if some people have more of a chance in life than others," and "This country would be better off if we worried less about how equal people are."

To justify economic inequalities, a person could support the idea of meritocracy, in which people supposedly move up their economic status in society based on hard work and good performance. In that way, one's social class attainment, whether upper, middle or lower, would be perceived as totally fair and justified.

If your beliefs don't justify gaps in status, you could be left frustrated and disheartened, according to the researchers, Jaime Napier and John Jost of New York University. They conducted a U.S.-centric survey and a more internationally focused one to arrive at the findings.

"Our research suggests that inequality takes a greater psychological toll on liberals than on conservatives," the researchers write in the June issue of the journal Psychological Science, "apparently because liberals lack ideological rationalizations that would help them frame inequality in a positive (or at least neutral) light."

The results support and further explain a Pew Research Center survey from 2006, in which 47 percent of conservative Republicans in the U.S. described themselves as "very happy," while only 28 percent of liberal Democrats indicated such cheer.

The same rationalizing phenomena could apply to personal situations as well.

"There is no reason to think that the effects we have identified here are unique to economic forms of inequality," the researchers write. "Research suggests that highly egalitarian women are less happy in their marriages compared with their more traditional counterparts, apparently because they are more troubled by disparities in domestic labor."
