a sense of entitlement
What really makes me angry is the pervasive sense of entitlement. Everyone seems to believe that they have a right to food, shelter, healthcare, television, etc. Almost everything that is defined as a "right" nowadays should really be considered a privilege. I agree that everyone has a right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," (Thomas Jefferson) but that's where it ends - everything else you should have to earn.

That, and fat people on mobility scooters.

I agree,
thats how my grandfather died, removing his own appendix.

But dammit the principal was right.

Funny how those new 'rights' always seem to come at the expense of the taxpayer.
You forgot the right to have an expensive car, gold teeth, loads of jewelry, cable, internet....

*may have gotten a bit carried away there.
