You are if:

You are perfectly healthy but yet so damn lazy that you need to wait for an elevator to go up or down one flight of stairs and think that everyone else on the elevator should deal with your own laziness.

You would rather toss your cigarette butt out your car window than use your own ashtray for whatever reason. Double this if you are driving a “Prius” or other hybrid and trying to pretend you care about the environment.

You run out to get your lottery ticket religiously each week in hopes of getting lucky instead of relying on hard work to succeed.

You think that because you win an Emmy, Tony, Oscar or any award that people want to hear about your political views.

You can't drive while talking on your cell phone and swerve all over the road, get a ticket and give nebby politicians an excuse to punish the rest of us who are actually capable of doing more than one thing at a time.

You vote for said nebby politicians because you think that they really should micromanage everyone's lives.

You can't be bothered to read the instructions for something (anything, I don't care what it is) and complain that you can't figure it out. You're an even bigger part of the problem if you start asking others to help you because even after you realize you can't figure it out you STILL refuse to read the manual!

You say you support the troops but not their “mission”. Basically you are saying you support the troops but that you don't agree with them and the job they have chosen to do? Huh. Interesting way to “support” someone.

JJ, I must say that I am in fact guilty of one of your statements. I did not say that you must be in the military in order to have an opinion on the war, however, I did say something to the effect that if you have not seen the streets of Iraq and seen some of the people, that you may not have the best perspective. It is in my article, "Do we get an opinion?" Your article was great. I agree with it all. To those that are offended, I say this: "IGNORANCE IS BLISS."
