Are you a weenie?

Asked by josie (30934points) February 27th, 2013

Do you think somebody else should solve your life’s problems?
Are your parents to blame for your personal crappy choices and failures?
Do you think you are a victim of something other than your own ineffectiveness and poor decisions?
Do you think the beloved political state will deliver you from your self engineered misery?
You just might be a weenie.
Or not?
You say…

I have a weenie.

There are three kinds of people in the world: Those that make things happen, those that wait for things to happen, and those that wonder what happened.

@rebbel Me too. A big one. What is your point?

Give me sec, please.
I am trying to find something Greek on the web…...

Back.
Can’t find it, but my girlfriend calls me Γεροπαραξενος every once in a while (say, once a month), which means something like old, whining, complaining git.
But overall I am a very happy, light, optimistic guy.
And I am with you in that I can’t understand some people’s constant pessimistic stance on all things living.

No! Just today, I complained about a parking rate inflation under the circumstances and they reduced the rate I had to pay.
And I spoke up in defense of the song of the canary which was denigrated in a poem by Ogden Nash.

Nobody has a problem with it.

First, leave my weenie out of it.

Second, I control my own destiny.

Third, I thank my parents.

I sort of surf the wave between making things happen and seeing what’s going to happen.
I seldom have to wonder what happened.
(@Adirondackwannabe great description!)

No. I am a bratwurst.

Are you bitching about the military? I totally agree. Everyone I went to high-school with that joined the military was pretty low on the scale of smarts. It is what you did when Taco Bell wasn’t hiring.

Well I never knew those people were called weenies.

augustlan's avatar

Not a weenie. But I do think we all have an obligation to help each other out, and sometimes the government is the best way to do it.

I solve my own problems.
The fact that I have shitty parents isn’t my fault, but I deal with the consequences in varied degrees of effectiveness.
Yes, it’s called “child abuse” and “bad genetics”.
No. I know my political ideal is a fantasy and a pipe dream. You may say I’m a dreamer but I’m not the only one.

A “weenie” isn’t even close to the worst thing I’ve been called. But nice try.

I’ve made a better life for myself despite being brought up in near poverty, and an alcoholic family. I don’t believe that I could have done all of this without some type of help from others though. This seems to be a stereotypical question, and not everybody is dealt the same hand to start off life. I’m also pretty certain that people who ask questions like this likely received some form of help from others themselves. Yes, there are legitimate bums out there, but there are many hurting people with good intentions who do try.
