How about this for the quote:

ORIGINAL: MrsWargamer
I have nothing but scorn for persons seeking sums of money far beyond what a person needs to live.
I merely pointed out that you have things that you do not need to live yet you have scorn for those who may want the finer things in life.
You also pointed out about having steak yet receiving - free - $1100 Canadian per month. That is great that you can do that but again, you do not need steak to live. Especially where you live, fishing should be possible at least part of the year and it appears that
you are able to get out and about enough to do that. Not to mention trapping, possibly hunting not to mention gathering of food growing wild.
You state that "We guys are funny" as if I am attempting humor when I am not. That is disparaging and insulting.
There your are, delving into politics again. How was the 19th Amendment a sad day for US men? Women had the right to vote before then, if they chose to meet the requirements plus there were women serving in the US Congress at the time, I do believe. If men did want the 19th amendment to fail, it would have failed as per my understanding of the system of government for the US Federal Government as well as my understanding of changing the US Constitution as well.
You should read your post more carefully. You just told a disabled person, how you think it's great I can afford to eat the occasional steak on my budget. But that I don't require steak. So why am I eating it? Then you proceed to explain how I should get out and hunt and fish and grow crops if I want the good life. Completely forgetting I'm disabled.
You scorn me for enjoying a steak, on my 1100 budget (which has to pay for EVERYTHING eh, rent etc).
I think I should be applauded for having the shopping skill to be able to even think of steak.
I called you 'funny', I'm being polite. I really meant something else.
YOU made this a political rant, all on your own. I mentioned a famous woman Barbie. You proceeded to mansplain for me.
I still have scorn for any person that needs not 1100 bucks, not 11 thousand bucks, not 11 million bucks, but billions of bucks to 'get by' and still wants more. If I had 2000 bucks a month to live on, I'd probably have more than I needed. But that's me, I'm smart with my money. I'd likely still not own a house, not own a car, and I'd probably own the entire Matrix Games catalogue of WW2 titles (I sort of already do).
The good things in life, you know, a mansion that is 90% a waste of space. On enough property to build an entire golf course. More than 3 cars. All costing a lot more than an average car. A yacht of course, and a private jet. Not one article of clothing from anywhere other than elite stores. Electronics, oh the electronics.
I don't have those things, and never will. But I'm ok with that. I don't think I'd want them really. That's because I know my limitations. I'm an expert in knowing my limitations. It shows. Because routinely, a person living on 1100 bucks (Canadian) a month is lucky to eat at all. So my managing means I'm a LOT wiser than the average person.
I have scorn for the wasteful, the excessive, the greedy. Because that is what it is.
I doubt you are any better off than me. And yet here you are defending billionaires right to be billionaires. That's mindboggling.
You clearly can't spell sarcasm, there I just showed you.
You claim I was disparaging.
Calling me out for calling you 'funny' and claiming I disparaged you, that IS funny. It's hilarious.
My goodness, if I were to really attempt to insult you, in a nasty hostile fashion, I think I might cause your head to explode. Then I'd be accused of murder no doubt. I knowingly cause you to drop dead of sudden shock.
Are you married? It seems like you are missing something in your routine. Perhaps you need more fibre?
Oh I hope it's not both.
I can hardly wait to see your wall of quoted text. Try to get the whole post though dear.
