I know I'm screwed when

I walk up to a house and there is a Subaru Outback or Forrester parked in the driveway. It’s the liberal middle aged white ladies flagship!
I get the same email from my manager, complex manager, operations, margin and compliance all at the same time about the same topic.

As do I, I can assure you the Devil is not a commie.
As a recently separated Veteran from OIF, I find it appalling that individuals speak about our Commander in Chief in this way. No matter your personal views (I for one am an Independent b/c both parties suck), this is not the way to speak about our President. When Dubya was President and anyone spoke out against him, individuals were deemed un-American but you guys can call him a devil and a commie?
BTW, what does “Liberal” mean? Liberal and Conservative are probably the most overused terms in our everyday language but when I speak to anyone on the left or right to define liberal or conservative, I never hear anything concrete; just a whole bunch of bashing.
Get off your soapbox, toots. It’s a message board, where guys go to shoot the s*** and b.s. about stuff our bosses and wives wouldn’t be interested in.

Lol, you’re right. That was funny, toots, lol. Definitely am not on a soapbox and that’s funny b/c when I read these forums, I mostly see brokers who have ego’s that are out of control.

Most brokers around here are failed or failing brokers. Don’t be too wound up about it.
I know I am screwed when… I meet a couple who have a CD coming due in 4 months who want to take it out, pay the penalty, and put it in their checking account. They don’t need the money, but “with everything that is happening we are not comfortable in CD’s.” They checking and CD is at the same bank btw.

This is the sexist type comment that I would expect to be made here. Maybe you need to wake up and get into the correct century where the forums/message boards are not just about "guys shooting the sh*t and bs'ing about things the "little wife" wouldn't be interested in. This type of comment makes me puke.[quote=adnuces]"Get off your soapbox, toots.

For christ sake, this isn't the Miss USA pageant where posters should study every word they say before they say it to make sure it doesn't offend anyone. I hope people can make politically incorrect snipes every once in a while when deserved without the threat of heavy ammunition.[quote=3rdyrp2][quote=adnuces]"Get off your soapbox, toots.

I don't dislike what you said to the original poster it was made to, just the way you said it. It is the common usage of "politically incorrect snipes" that perpetuates all the isms.

Can I safely assume that you are now participating in this board because you want to puke? Bulimic?Be a little wary.
I have a Subaru Forester. I am a middle-aged, kick-arse, quite obnoxious, male, caucasian, Christian Republican and proud American.
I own the Forester 'cuz it’s snappy, economical and has by far the best All Wheel Drive.
I was probably the only Subaru out here with a Bush-Cheney sticker in 2004 and then a McCain-Palin sticker in 2008.
Lesson - there are Republicans who drive Subarus, though I doubt there is a rifle rack available for my Forester.
Here’s a key indicator. If the Subie has a stick, it’s probably a Republican. Automatic, it’s probably your liberal, white, middle-aged bleeding heart lady.
Liberals love automatics. They like everything to just happen and don’t ask any questions about how it works. Liberals love government that acts like an automatic tranny.
Conservatives want to know how the tranny works and want high levels of control over what the car is doing. Driving a stick means involvement on the part of the driver. It’s not just watching TV, you have to drive the dang car.
Check the tranny before assuming you have a guilt-ridden, bleeding-heart pinko on your hands.
It does happen that the Outback and Forester are the largest selling cars in the US for lesbians. Go figure. That embarrasses me, but I’m keeping my Subie. I’m a lesbian trapped in a convervative male’s body anyway.
