Hoarders

Has any body seen the show on The Learning Channel (TLC) called Hoarders?

Well I seen part of a show a couple of months ago and was disgusted how these people live in a house full of junk.

Well there was nothing else on tonight so I watched part of another episode. At the start it said that 3-5 % of the population of the USA has OCD. And about a third of them were hoarders. So apparently they think it is a mental disorder to live like a retarded pig.

It started out by showing the outside of an old bungalow or rancher. Then they showed the mother outside leaning on a late model Audi. They explained that she used to be a nurse. She explained how she shot her boyfriend 10 years ago after he attacked her in a drug rage.

Shift to the inside of the house. They explain she lives there with her 21 year old son. They show a fat bastard lounging on a couch playing video games. He has purple highlights in his hair and black nail polish on his finger nails. Now the show I seen before involved folks who hoarded or collected so much stuff that their house was full of junk. Not these two; there house was full of garbage. And it was a filthy bug infested place. The stove didn't work, the sink was plugged up so they had no running water in the kitchen, hence no dishwasher. The bathroom was repulsively dirty. The only thing that worked in the kitchen was the microwave, and it was also filthy. The ate food that could be nuked on paper plates and then just threw them on the floor. They ordered food and then threw the containers on the floor.

The mother goes on to explain that she never thought she would be alive (referring to the boyfriend's attack one might assume) so all this doesn't seem so bad.

Might this be only a decadent western type of mental disorder? I didn't see any mud houses in Afghanistan full of collectibles or even trash. Maybe these two decided to fill their house full of garbage just to make a little money off of TLC?

I think that she is probably a meth head just like her dead boyfriend and probably did lots of drugs while pregnant with junior. I'm sure that these are the types that Adolf referred to when he described "useless ration eaters".

American TV and civilization is tuned to the trailer park trash. They don't know how good they have it. And as good as they have it, it isn't even better than those folks who travel around Pacific islands shrinking heads.
