How haughty of you, Elite Nomore, to insult screeners or anyone in the service industry with your arrogant attempt to make some sort of connection between low intelligence and low paying jobs. Of course, it would have helped had you used an actual word seeing as how "underbrained" simply doesn't exist in the English language. It appears that your attitude towards people in the service industry is one of regarding them as beneath you or not worthy of your respect. It certainly reflects a contempt and a predisposition you have to abuse people in these jobs. Don't you think the world would be a better place if you treated others with a sense of decent respect regardless of their job? Why the insults? Why not discuss a topic without making it personal? Does putting yourself above or others beneath you fulfill some sort of desperate need for self-importance?
Did you want to get a rise out of the TSA screeners you know who participate in these discussions? Is this hit-and-run name-calling the sort of adult behavior that makes you better than us? Is this your measure of self-worth? Is this how you define being a man? Just asking, pal. No need to respond. I truly don't care. Just wanted you to know that it's difficult for me to attempt to answer your basic question, which is a good one, without ignoring the blatant attempt on your part to insult screeners and anyone else whose paycheck is apparently lower than yours.
But then again, it's an assumption on your part. Some of us do know how to invest our money, and some of us choose this job because we truly enjoy it.
Even if it means dealing with people like you.
Yo Bart Dude, go have your morning latte and chill yourself out. You're gonna blow a gasket.
Ok dokey, now let's take the time to go over a few points.
1) I am a half a retard, who didn't graduate high school, who drove a cab from 12 years and who has spent many a graveyard shift frying potatoes and flipping burgers. I know from low intellect-low paying jobs. Believe me, I KNOW.
Like said Judge Smails, "well the world needs ditchdiggers too"
2) You're right, the word "underbrained" does not
officially exist in the English language, but I am starting a one man campaign to get in in there. People are starting to use the word all the time, in fact, a quick Google search indicates that there are currently 326 pages on the net that use the word. Make that 327, cause you yourself just used it. (see above) Hey, ya wanna join me in my campaign? BTW, what does haughty mean?
3) Don't take life so serious, we're all gonna die soon anyway. It's happens to the best of us all the time and there ain't nothing we can do about it.
4) If I was a TSA screener, I'd do the same thing. I'd make EVERYONE take off their shoes, I'd double and triple search every hot chick that came through, I'd especially bust the balls of old people, guys in expensive suits and quadrapalegic amputees in wheelchairs plus I'd generally treat everyone else like the pieces of crap that they are.
Why?
Because they are going on a vacation and I'm stuck here, wearing this stupid uniform with a one way job to nowhere that I hate and I just wanna feel important too. It's just human nature.
5) I define being a man by my penis. I have one, albeit a small one, but none the less it's a penis and it makes me a man. Plus, I could beat you up in a fight and that makes me even more of a man too. Oh and I have a pickup truck too. More of a man.
6) You wrote: "It appears that your attitude towards people in the service industry is one of regarding them as beneath you or not worthy of your respect. It certainly reflects a contempt and a predisposition you have to abuse people in these jobs."
Are you angry with me? Please don't be. I'm really a nice guy.
Let's just all be friends.
7) I gotta go now, my computer time here at the institute is up and another patient needs to get online.
Peace and love.

Moderator, someone needs to straighten this thread out. It's getting seriously off topic and out of hand.
