John Edwards

Cuckoo. The pot calling the kettle black. A disgusting and hypocritical trial lawyer who got rich by sewing health care providers who is now ironically in the US Senate and running for President of the United States as a Democrat. Whoda thunk it? He attacked other rich persons, particularly George W. Bush for allegedly being out of touch with mainstream America, claiming he (Edwards) is “the only ‘real’ middle class American in the Presidential race,” yet he is not just one of North Carolina’s richest persons but considered the “most affluent” candidate in the running. He’s is a laughingstock, hypocrite and a liar.

John Edwards is among one of the groups of people that is most wrong with this country and wants to run for President. God help us.

electoral college

Also known as the Electorate. A very complex way of electing the President of the United States that is mandated in the Constitution. Each state is given a number of electors or electoral votes by population—California 54 and Wyoming 3—equal to the number of electors it has in the Congress. On election day Americans actually vote for an elector to cast their vote rather than voting for the President himself, despite what the ballot says. Most states have a “winner take all” system that gives all of its electoral votes to the candidate with the most votes. However, some states have no law, and the electors may vote for the candidate they wish or their electoral votes will be awarded based on the popular vote. Six weeks after the general election and the popular vote, the chosen electors travel to their state capital to cast their vote for President; these are the actual votes cast for the President. The candidate with at least 270 electoral votes (one more vote than 50% of the total electoral votes) is the winner. The electoral college and not the popular vote, is what actually elects the President. This system was put in place by our Founding Fathers in the Constitution but resulted in two candidates—one being George W. Bush in 2000—being elected after losing the popular vote. The electoral college has come under fire a few times (usually by liberals who don’t like the Constitution), but works in general. The last time was in 2000 after George W. Bush defeated Vice President Al Gore. The system isn’t perfect but ideal in a Representative Republic like the United States. Changing it would require a Constitutional Amendment by the Congress and a majority of the fifty states.

The electoral college is the process by which we elect the President of the United States.

work ethic

An idea foreign to Americans these days which taught that you must work hard to earn what you desire. It is something Americans, sadly, do not have anymore because the government has provided entitlements without having to work for it.

People will not have a work ethic if they are not taught the concept as a child, especially nowadays when liberals in the government discourage them from doing so by providing silly entitlements.

Walmart

The only mega-corporation that can turn surburban America into a haven for whitetrash. The people who shop there are digusting (especially in the desert southwest)and the employees are disgusting. Many of them need to shower, dont speak English, aren't helpful, aren't customer-service friendly, dont have professional skills, don't have people skills and lack an education. Many of its employees are either ex-cons who are just waiting to steal your identity, black men with dreadlocks who wear pants that are ten sizes to big that are worn below their ass as if they were falling down or illegal immigrants who cant speak a damb word of English who are rude and dont give a crap about your customer-service needs. Hell, ALL of their janitors are here illegaly anyway. You go into a department asking where a product is and their piece-of-crap employees say, "I don't know, sir" and walk away with out the 2-seconds of care in the world to find out. I shouldn't be too surpised because the employees are treating the customer the exact same way they are treated by the company. I admit that I am anti-Walmart.

Walmart is a piece-of-crap company with piece-of-crap workers and a piece-of-crap, anit-American philosophy that gives Capitalism a bad name. This company needs to be investigated by the Justice Deaprtment, the Department of Labor and the Federal Trade Commission and its CEO thrown in jail. I DESPISE everything about Walmart and hope they go out of business one of these days.

ME: "Excuse me, sir but do you carry the Panteen brand of shampoo? I am finding everything else but that."

EMPLOYEE: "I don't know, sir."

ME: "Can you find out?"

EMPLOYEE: "It's not my department."

ME: "Nevermind, jerkoff. I want to see your supervisor."

EMPLOYEE: "Whatever, homie. Piece"

living in sin

Also known as living together or cohabitation. It's the practice of a couple--usually a man and woman--living together having sex and playing "house" without the benefits of marriage. Living in sin is not a good idea for a couple who is considering marriage, because the couple can get to know each other well enough by the time marriage occurs and living in sin makes a couple more than twice as likely to end up divorced.

see: cohabitation, living together

Living in sin is never a good idea for a couple, and usually ends up a futile attempt to bring a couple closer.

Phoenix

America’s largest suburb and is not a city by any means. “The Valley” as it is called is actually a very fast-growing mesh of identical suburbs that comprise a very dull metropolis, for its size (almost 4 million people), in the Sonoran Desert of south-central Arizona. Phoenix does not constitute a typical large metropolitan profile by most standards and sucks, generally speaking. It isn’t New York. Isn’t L.A. Isn’t Chicago. Isn’t Washington DC. Isn’t Phily. Isn’t San Fran. Isn’t Seattle. Isn’t Miami. Isn’t Atlanta. And even isn’t Dallas-Ft. Worth. Why? No culture (illegal immigrants don’t count). No diversity. Not much greenspace. No rapid transit. No skyline. Not a major educational center (despite having ASU in nearby Tempe). Not a major manufacturing center. Not a major healthcare center. Not a port center. Not a financial center. Not many high-paying jobs. Nothing. It doesn’t even have many corporate headquarters when compared to many cities (US Airways, the worst airline in the country, is the only Fortune 500 company that calls Phoenix home). If you’re single and looking to meet someone, go elsewhere because Phoenix was ranked as one of the worst cities in the country for meeting other single people, especially those looking to get married. The city of Phoenix may be the 6th single-largest US city, in the nation’s 14th largest metro area, but Phoenix has nothing on metro areas that are even half its size. The Phoenix area is known for practically NOTHING and has no functional role whatsoever in our nation’s economy, which is sad, because most cities have some sort of identity or purpose. This makes Phoenix America’s largest “small town” or America’s largest suburb. And to prove it, Walmart is the Valley’s largest employer. Go figure. However it is a good place if you want to golf in the winter (and ONLY in the winter), hike, mountain bike or ski up in the mountains. Most people at urbandictionary who give thumbs down on negative definitions of Phoenix may be due to their heads being so stuck in the sand, that they haven’t realized the truth or haven’t even been to the coastal cities. If native Phoenicians don’t like it then may I suggest you try to change it? I moved here 3 years ago and will never poke fun of Chicago again. At least it is a major world city with world-class amenities and is everything Phoenix is not. Phoenix sucks!

The people are not really very friendly either. They have almost a California mindset and not like what you would see in the Midwest or the South. Phoenicians, as its residents are called, generally have the worst personalities. They seem materialistic, introverted, egocentric, not very social, quiet and downright haughty or stuck up. Try going to Scottsdale. Most of the women there are stuck-up bitches where money, sex, materialism and sometimes partying are the only things that count in this life. The men are just as shallow and judge themselves by the size of their penis, the car they drive, the size of their house, how much money they make or how good looking their trophy wife is. Most Phoenicians are not just rotten people in their personal lives, but also AWFUL drivers on the road. If you don't believe me then drive in Phoenix or on I-17 or anywhere in the state. People don’t use their turn signal, they speed, drive wrecklessly, run red lights, tailgate, cut you off, flick you off, and Phoenix has numerous accidents everyday. Phoenix ranked as the worst city for auto accidents and was the number one city in all those things. Also, if your car breaks down or stalls on any road, drivers will scream at you or flick you off for causing a two-second inconvenience for them. They are not likely to stop and help you.

And don't even get me started about the weather. Despite conventional wisdom of this Sonoran Desert urban hell, Phoenix does NOT have a tollerable climate in general. It is over 100 degress for 8 months, but the remaining months between NOV and end of FEB are good. Do you consider 115-degrees tollerable, let alone for eight months at a time? I didn't think so.

Phoenix has an awfull drug problem, mostly from Meth being smuggled in from Mexico and the illegal immigrants that Phoenix tollerates. The city is a sanctuary city for illegal immigrants and it shows: violence, drugs everywhere, raids for illegal immigrants in a normally quite, suburban neighborhood and awfull traffic, because most of its Mexicans can't drive worth a dam, including the people who actually live there and belong there.

Phoenix is an undersirable urban err..suburban, desert, violent, drug-infested, heat island hell. It was once one of America's fastest growing metro areas, but that is no longer the case due to the decline in the housing market, by which Phoenix once led the nation. I hate this place.

Boswash

The crowded region of the Eastern seabord of the U.S steretching from Boston, MA to the Washington DC Metro area. It has about 30 million people or so and is known for its traffic, high cost of living, enormous diversity, bad weather and downright bad attitude and rudeness by most of its people.

I would NEVER live in the Boswash region: the people suck and so does the traffic and weather.
