Even though she's smoking while pregnant, I'm willing to bet her child will be smarter than her.

WTF dude???

This is in my backyard. Do you have any idea of the poverty this woman probably lives in?? (Not saying that that's an excuse for smoking while pregnant, but still.) Do you have any INKLING about the economic state of many Shenandoah Valley/Southwest Virginia areas???

Could you just refrain from mocking the impoverished? You aren't a liberal. You're an elitist jerkwad.

I'm so sick of you. I try to ignore you but it just doesn't work. I've kept my mouth shut until now but I am very passionate about the people of Appalachia and the North Carolina and Virginia foothills. And you just stepped into territory that reveals your true character and concerns.

You make me sick to my stomach. I hate that you try to represent my political views and that you do it so poorly and with a nice side of BIGOTRY. I am repulsed at your utter lack of compassion.

You actually may be the first person I EVER put on ignore. Congratulations.

A> I never said anything about her SE class
B> All I did was point out she;s a retard for smoking and thinking that noise will harm her unbornchild.

C> It's not like she cares anyway:

I didn't say you did. I said that you enjoyed mocking a person who was clearly of low SES.

I don't care to hear your judgements of her intelligence since my assessment of your intelligence means that your opinions mean very little to me.

Please don't talk to me.

I have you on ignore now. I'm not discussing this further because you are obviously an ignorant, pompous jerk.

If you ever want to come and work with some nonprofit organizations in the Roanoke, Lexington, or Staunton area that work with impoverished persons let me know. I can hook you up. Until then I'm through with you, your willfully ignorant views, your bigotry, and your lack of understanding of current events.

Because I think someone is stupid for smoking while pregnant? Wow- when did I miss the memo that it's safe and is something pregnant women should do? Me thinks the lady doth protest too much.

I think that lady is a huge retard too. It doesnt matter if shes rich or not.

Smoking while pregnant = STUPID.

I think she's dumb. IMO, if she doesn't care that smoking is going to hurt her baby, then she probably shouldn't be having that baby in the first place.

Is it weird that I want to buy BG something? Attagirl!

Co-sign.

I didn't think about socioeconomic status when I saw the picture. I just saw a woman who doesn't care about her unborn child's health--at least, not what she can actually do to improve her child's health. The jackhammers won't be nearly as destructive as whatever heart or lung ailments her baby might face.

I also think she's dumb.

However, I think the reason BG got mad is b/c title of the thread is "Dumb Virginian." It doesn't matter what state this woman lives in, we'd all still think she was dumb b/c of her actions, but BG took issue w/ the fact that he was sort of generalizing Virginians that way.

I could be completely wrong, but I'm sure she'll feel free to correct me.

I'd be pissed too if someone said "Dumb Floridian" or "Dumb North Carolinian" based on a picture of someone that lives here. It would have been less offensive to say "Dumb Pregnant Woman" or "Dumb Smoker" IMHO.

OK, here's the deal. The topic of this thread (Dumb Virginian) is unfortunate to begin with.

It became very personal.

I'm closing it.

If someone wants to start a thread on smoking and pregnancy, go ahead.
