pity party much?

The Millers said they used to have lavish dinners about once a week, but they don't know if they will be able to do that again anytime soon.
"We used to travel a few times a year, take vacations, and now that just doesn't seem like a possibility," Ellen Miller said. "... Couple that with the way the economy is going, each of our businesses are also on the downside. The income coming in last year wasn't where it was even without Madoff." (cnn)

im sorry that you lost a lot of your money due to madoff's selfishness, but i am not going to pity you because now instead of taking multiple vacations a year you can only take one more two and you can only go out to an extravagant meal once every 2 weeks instead of once every week. and to this nino guy, as much as what youre doing is nice, of ALL people who need a nice meal i dont think these people are the most deserving. im not saying you all didnt work hard for your money, but there are people in WAY more dire situations than yourselves so complaining to cnn about your tales of woe (and cnn ACTUALLY publishing it) really is not getting you any sympathy points here. how bout giving a free meal to the people who have just lost their homes due to foreclosure which is most likely due to the selfishness of those bankers and such who lost their money (well, actually, OUR money) in the madoff scheme?

im big for live and let live but im sorry cnn you should NOT be encouraging these people to feel so bad for themselves when the rest of the nation is suffering 3942304 times more. i try and defend my country a lot saying that we're not that selfish and that money isnt the only thing we think about, but when articles like this come out it makes it really fucking hard to do that.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh me da RABIAAAAAAAAA.

ok im done venting now.
