For some reason you've pegged your life's failures on your lack of land owhership. If only you had land....you'd have a better life. That is the theme behind your whinings. I hate to be the one to tell you, you'd be just as much a failure today even if you were given the best acreage in town.


You'd rather sit around bitching about what you don't have and envying what others do have, instead of putting forth personal effort to better yourself. Woe is roy because he lives on the wrong side of the tracks.

"If only", roy dreams, "I had land, I'd be set for life. I'd be rich, rich, rich, and women would want me!!"



The reality is, you'd still be roy. Unwilling to do what it takes to get what you covet. More than willing to place blame on others (like those evil land owners).


When you're proven wrong just pull out the old envy card and make unfounded assumptions and stalk people?

The reality is: you're wrong. According to your reasoning if those abolitionists just went out and got some slaves of their own there'd be no problem, right? All those abolitionists were simply jealous of the slave owners?

In fact, Roy and I are from the same town and I can attest that he is successful. He also has a brain and a conscience (something you lack), which he has used to utterly destroy you in this thread.

There are a lot of rocks in Georgia, I suggest you go crawl back under yours.
