Bert thought 'Uncle Sam' was a long lost relative.


That must be it. A soldier is just another government worker.

Seems to apply, doesn't it, Harry?

Narcissists are generally contemptuous of others. This seems to spring, at base, from
their general lack of empathy, and it comes out as (at best) a dismissive attitude
towards other people's feelings, wishes, needs, concerns, standards, property, work,
etc. It is also connected to their overall negative outlook on life

I was the manager of a QA team when I was 25 years old and I was bringing

So, can you quantify "considerably more?"

Sure I can quantify it, but why?

Why not answer his question instead of attacking him Harry?



Why should I reveal what my annual earnings are? Hell, you won;t even
tell people what you do for a living.

Ring any bells, Harry?

"Narcissists don't volunteer the usual personal information about themselves, so they
may seem secretive or perhaps unusually reserved or very jealous of their privacy.
All these things are true, but with the special narcissistic twist that, first, their
real life isn't interesting to them so it doesn't occur to them that it would be
interesting to anyone else and, second, since they have not yet been transfigured
into the Star of the Universe, they're ashamed of their real life."

My part time job was converted to full time the day I graduated from HS.
Working as a civilian in government is a job. Serving in the US military
is an honor and privilege.

Not only that, but it is an adventure. ; )

Bert, Harry has spent all of his life looking for acceptance. He hates it
when someone finds acceptance and happiness.

His only retort when he talks to someone who seems to enjoy his life or
finds self gratification in his life and job is to try to demean that
persons success.

Harry is jealous because he is still desperately looking for something he
will never find. He knows his life is over, is upset that he is forced to
spend his waking hours in rec.boats belittling others. We really should
feel sorry for him, but he makes it so difficult. He reminds me of a
psychotic I saw at the supermarket the other day. She was walking around
screaming and cussing at people, scratching people's car with her keys etc.
When the cops finally arrived, her response/excuse was that the meds made
her sleepy, and that is why she is so obnoxious. Even if the meds make
Harry sleepy, he needs to take them.

Worth a double reading, Harry!

Why does Bert or anyone else here need to know my annual earnings?

I was curious at one point at what you did for a living. Not where you
worked, but whether you were an Indian chief, a rug salesman, or whatever.
It was just curiosity. Why, do you think if you told me you were sales
manager for company that made processing products, that would be too
revealing? You, Smithers, Robbins, and the rest of the righties are very,
very close about yourselves, but you sure don't mind talking in depth
about the lives of others...right?



Nope.

Well, well, well, a bit of honesty at last. You and your gang enjoy
talking up the lives of others, but you sure want to keep your lives a
secret.

Harry,
What do you mean, "You and your gang"?

I for one have no problems telling anyone what I do for fun, besides
boating, where I went to school, or any aspect of my life. I just know it
bugs the heck out of you that you don't know anything personal about me, so
I don't tell you. Your favorite past time is to know someone's address, so
you can make fun of their city, to find a picture of someone's home, so you
can make fun of the style of home, it's estimated value etc., their marital
status, so you can use that to insult people. I am proud of my life, my
wife, my kids. I don't need to seek acceptance in rec.boats.

Don,

You really should not make fun of Harry, he will start to attack you, your
city and your accent, your lifestyle etc..

I for one enjoy people with different perspectives and outlooks on the
world, so it is better if you poke some fun at me. I enjoy your humor.
