    Only thing I have is what I earned. I am good with that.

      What I meant is that you can't presume the circumstances of another. Just because they are poor or need help doesn't by definition mean they aren't as noble and wholesome as anybody else who takes such great pride in their well-earned paychecks, Dodge Ram with the gun rack and Trump/Pence stickers and then a bunch of crap religious homophobia.

        That's cool. There is just a lot of exaggeration and debate in youth soccer regarding what exactly is being earned and how valuable it is.

          The flaw in your logic is that you act like you were and are in some type of neutral zone where what you've done can be fairly compared to others.

            At some point...you just have to play the hand your are dealt. I am not a Saudi Prince, nor is my name Kushner, I don't watch Hannity, so no idea why you shifted it that way.

            I'm just a guy who came from simple means, who's parents came from even less, who goes about his day providing for his his family and stays out of trouble.

            But, even still, that's not good enough for some people...
            Interesting. Do you always feel that posts are directed at you personally? Thread starts out talking generically about the high cost and unequal access to youth sports and you respond defensively that you’re a simple hard-working guy whose only extravagance is spending thousands of $ on club soccer. Seems like a narcissist guilt reflex. Tell me, when you see homeless people do you scream at them that it’s not your fault you live in a nice house?

              But you are the one accusing the have's. It goes both ways.

                Again, you have no idea what I have done so that is your flaw. Stop being a hater. You don't know what someone has done or who they are looking in from the outside.

                  Well, let's see the post I replied to:

Wonder how you'd feel if you were in a village in Africa or Asia being pillaged on a daily basis. So, so hypocritical. Btw, still waiting for your type to demand answers and punishment for the Saudi Prince. Nice cover-up job by Kushner who we know didn't earn his way to Harvard. Wonder what would have happened if Hannity had been bone-sawed.
                  Seems pretty obvious they are talking to ME. I count six directed comments, a note about being hypocritical, and for good measure, called "your type".

                    That is a pretty stereo-typical statement. Are you this racist/sexist/misogynist/anti-semite/homophobic with every group or just certain people that believe in God and drive trucks?

                      The poster in #35 answered this perfectly. No one was attacking gun-toting Trump lovers when this started. In fact, just the opposite is what happened.

                        Exactly. You should have thought about your own words before you went off half-cocked about Bernie, socialism, blah, blah, blah.

                          Wasn't me....again you are assuming and blaming people for things and how you want them to be rather than how they actually are.

                            Nope, just the gun-toting, tattoo-smothered, road rage, juiced, fake religious, bigoted and homophobic white Trump/Pence sticker guys. Love everyone else.

                              Well, that's what set me off. But, still, listen to your own point and tell me that you'd have the same views and perspective if you were saddled with really bad circumstances and disadvantages you couldn't begin to understand if you haven't lived with them yourself.

                                So, you admit to judging people by their appearances, and categorizing them in a negative light?
