Perhaps you didn't mean to imply that, but that's how it translates.

I don't think anyone should get points for keeping their marriage together. That shit either works or it doesn't. If you have to "work" at it, you're just too stupid to realize you ought to get divorced and get on with your life (and try to meet someone you actually dig).
Re paying for an expensive lifestyle, you actually lose points for that. Pissing away major money to get status items is dumb. There's a difference between buying a good suit to get the brand and buying a good suit because it's well made. If you buy good shit, you wind up spending less over time because it lasts longer. But if you buy high end shit just to have Prada stamped on your ass, you're another fucking lemming moron buying into the idiot merry-go-round of our vacant, senseless, imbecillic "American Dream."
We're an idiot society today, and your posts offend a lot of people because they represent the most ignorant edge of that McSociety. People post here because they don't buy into the game; they sneer at it, but suck money from it. You're trumpetting the worst of its bad qualities. How don't you see that?
ETA: And I mean "ignorant" in its literal definition, as opposed to some campy misuse.
