Is it better to be in a amzing place at the moment knowing you will be in a bad place later or better to be in a bad place nowing you will be in a better place later.
Originally posted by zeeblebotSo you are saying that both places - and by extrapolation, all places - are bad. Bad follows bad. Bad precedes bad. Not only is the grass not greener over there, the grass isn't actually green anywhere. Or did you simply mean: google "out of the frying pan, into the fire."

Originally posted by Brother EdwinWhat you've described is the difference between conservatives and liberals, Brother Edwin. Conservatives believe that if you work hard and don't become dependent upon the government then anything is possible. This is the way things are supposed to work: When you're young, you're poor and have to strive to make something of yourself and acquire assets and skills so that you can earn more and sock something away so that when you are old, you won't have to live like a poor student. On the other hand, liberals can't stomach the notion of people having to do hard work ever or everyone not being as well off as their neighbors in Hyannis Port. They also believe that if you're poor now, then you are always going to be poor, and therefore need the government to redistribute income your way which makes you more dependent, rather than independent.
