Defining Characteristics of a Scumbag

Mental: Perhaps THE defining characteristic of the Scumbag is a lack of abstract reasoning ability. The Scumbag cannot imagine the future, cannot connect the present with the past, and has a very weak grasp on the theory of mind (the understanding that other people are independent beings with their own thoughts and feelings). This, coupled with a short-fuse temper, is what leads the Scumbag to commit most of his Scumbag acts. Take domestic violence as an example. Most people get angry at their significant others and may even want to hit them, but they realize A) Hitting a woman is Morally Wrong; B) Hitting a woman may lead to Legal Consequences; and C) If you hit This Woman it might Damage Your Relationship. These thoughts prevent you from acting on your violent thoughts or feelings. For the Scumbag the thought "Lurlene make Snake angry" is unrestrained by such abstract ideas and so Snake commences punching the object of his dissatisfaction. He may feel bad about it once his anger has passed, he may promise not to do it again (after all why would he hurt Nice Lurlene who he loves, a creature he does not connect to Mean Lurlene who tells him to stop drinking, since Scumbags have a poor sense of object permanence.) he may face Serious Consequences, but it doesn't matter. Next time Lurlene angers him he will go right back to it because he Lives-In-The-Moment and in the moment he is angry. Grrr, Snake Smash!

This inability to reason governs the rest of the Scumbag's life. He knows he has a crappy old car but is shocked when it breaks down and finds he has made no alternative plan to get to work. He is aware of a Court Date but blows it off because off-roading would be more pleasurable. He is then surprised when the cops show up and act like it was a Big Deal. In many ways the Scumbag, despite having some language skills and tool use capacity, is more animal than man. He goes drunk driving in an area he knows is patrolled by cops, is belligerent when ticketed, goes to jail for assault, and gets back out only to go drunk driving in a cop-infested area again. (An aside: Cops are often high-functioning Scumbags themselves, known as High Proles. See infra.)

These traits also make the Scumbag Clique difficult for outsiders to understand. A Scumbag will sleep with his friend's girlfriend and be confused when said friend is angry at him afterwards. They will engage in violent altercations with people and expect no bad feelings (even though Scumbags can hold an Irrational Grudge against people they perceive as having harmed them). Scumbags are volatile and unpredictable. You can be their best friend one moment and worst enemy the next, then best friend against before the end of the night.

Physical: Scumbag is a strong Clique, after Jocks, Jockgineers, and Medical Doctors. Their strength comes from a combination of the physical labor they do (even Scumbags who do not have paying jobs spend their time doing physical activities like wrenching on cars or poorly building illegal additions to their dwellings) and a genetic propensity towards strength. This strength can be amplified and paired with surprising speed when the Scumbag is angered, since they have the highest adrenal response of any clique. In appearance the Scumbag is likely to wear worn and threadbare clothes with stains and patches, have a generally unkempt appearance and many tattoos (this is because they do not understand the future and so have no compunction against altering their appearance permanently.) The Scumbag will often smell of sweat, motor oil, and cigarettes, with the addition of alcohol at night. Showering regularly is discouraged in the Scumbag community.

Vocations: Scumbags do not fear danger so employers favor them for dangerous jobs such as unskilled construction, trucking and other transportation, and similar jobs. They also have a high tolerance for the disgusting, so many sanitation workers and janitors are Scumbag Clique. The Scumbag is poorly suited for any job that requires punctuality or high-order reasoning. Scumbags can also be politicians from areas that demand their politicians have low intelligence and education.

Peak: Scumbags tend to peak in their late teens/early 20s before their reckless lifestyle catches up with them. There is often another, smaller, peak in their 40s when they get to see their children follow in their Scumbag footsteps. Nothing makes a Scumbag Dad prouder than picking up his Scumbag kid from the jail on a charge of public intoxication or statutory rape. Scumbags are able to live vicariously through their children, but only if they are also Scumbags, since Scumbags have no interest in the activities of other Cliques.

JDU Encounters: Most JDU members primarily encounter Scumbags from the safety of the Internet. Scumbags need a lot of Legal Services, often in criminal and family law contexts. They make Horrible Clients for Lawyers (who themselves tend to be Liberal Artists, Losers [Nerds and Liberal Artistry are mutually exclusive], or Preps), as their lack of forward-thinking ability and inability to take Advice often will hamstring their cases, and they will Take It Out on the Lawyer.

Scumbags represent Human/Feral instinct, and are almost entirely unaware or acknowledging of other Cliques. Scumbag wouldn't attend a dinner party of Medical Doctors and Liberal Artists if God* invited him.

Hybrids:

ScumJock: This is a fairly common hybrid and many Scumbags can appear to be Jocks in their youth due to their superior strength. The ScumJock is distinguished from the pure Scumbag by his athletic superiority and his possession of some level of motivation and understanding of delayed gratification (see working out/practice.) He is differentiated from the pure Jock by his tendency to get into trouble and lack of foresight. The athlete who gets face tattoos, drives drunk on a suspended license before the big game, or is in constant trouble with the law is likely a ScumJock hybrid.

Fratbag: The prototypical Prep/Scumbag hybrid belongs to a fraternity at a State School where he is failing out. He is distinguished by his Bad Grades, lack of understanding of social cues at a Prep Level, and lack of foresight in his sexual assaults. A Prep predator carefully plans his rapes and grooms his victims while a Fratbag just clumsily attacks, leaving lots of evidence and leading to trouble for him and his Frat. Fratbags can get jobs in politics but often derail themselves through scandals caused by their failure to think ahead.

Scumgineer: Rarest of the Scumbag hybrids because engineering generally requires at least some level of abstract reasoning ability. Occasionally a Scumbag savant will have this ability in one area but not in another or a person from a Scumbag family will have other Scumbag traits but also ability to reason. Scumgineers are rare but have great value to employers in Scumbag heavy businesses who need engineering done. It's all well and good to design your oil rig back in a Cushy Office in Houston but who is going to go implement your plan on the high seas, surrounded by convicts and other Scumbags? The Scumgineer comes to the rescue. His Scumbag side allows him to mesh with the Scumbag clique working on the rig while he does your engineering labor. He also has the typical Scumbag's lack of fear of danger, so his danger premium is relatively low. Scumgineers can also be found in other Engineering Jobs but they are wasting their value there and often wash out quickly, unable to mesh with the Nerds. If you ever meet a Young Scumgineer do the world a favor and guide him to Field Work where he will be happy and productive.

Loser Scumbag: The lowest of the low. These are Scumbags who are rejected by their own Scumbag Clique, such as Serial sex offenders, Career Criminals (themselves a Distinct sub-Clique) who consistently get caught, perpetually unemployed Mechanics with missing fingers etc. A Loser Scumbag is a dangerous person and should be avoided.

Ascended Scumbags: The High Prole. Certain Scumbags manage to gain a level of abstract thinking later in life. They become high Proles and can do more complex work than the average Scumbag. Tradesmen are often ascended Scumbags, as are Good Mechanics, many police and firemen, and effective blue collar managers (Many blue-collar managers are just normal Scumbags because you need someone who can communicate with the Scumbag rank and file and who will work in an office.) High Proles never lack for work and can make 6 figures or more, especially if they go into business for themselves.

· Like, 90% of rural America are Scumbags. Their phenotypes are SO obvious. This has been generations in the making. (theimmigrant, 8/22/13)

· When you go to a Scumbag area of town, you always know it because it's full of Scumbags, and they'll do Scumbag things. Like, when you enter a Scumbag neighborhood, they all just stop what they're doing and stare at you. Not in a way that makes you think they're going to jump you or anything. But then they just sort of stare at you until you go away, like they've never seen a non-Scumbag before. Either that or they'll quickly disperse or run inside, like you're the po-po or something, and I guess they assume that it doesn't seem stranger or more suspicious that they're running inside abruptly instead of just continuing to mind their business.

· Also, Scumbags drive big trucks that make lots of noise, and they wear clothes that are supposed to be considered "edgy." Scumbag women dress like skanks when they're young, but usually have three kids with three different guys by age 21, two of whom were fathered by Scumbags, and one of whom is a mixed race kid because the girl had to find out if black guys really do have bigger dicks. I get the feeling that Scumbag women are easy, kind of like Hipster women, but in both cases, you have to be in the right Clique to fuck them. So the Scumbag version of ****head probably pulls mad ass among the Scumbag girls.

· Scumbags are guys that eat fried bologna sandwiches in Richmond. (Exnite)

· Sugar packets are like catnip for Scumbags. (Cleverloginname, 9/18/13)

· If you ever want to know anything about the party scene anywhere, just ask a local Scumbag or Scumbaguette. Scumbags always know about the party scene because Scumbags don't foolishly spend their lives thinking about liberal arts, trying to keep up with the Joneses, or Engineering things. Your average Scumbag starts partying at like age 13, and keeps doing it as long as physically possible.

Scumbags have jobs that require punching a clock and doing routine tasks like moving things or lifting things that don't require taking work home with them or working past shift change. And even if they do, they get paid "overtime," which gives them more money to spend on partying. Scumbags will routinely say things like, "I go out 5 nights a week," though this is only like one week out of the month, right after they get paid, at which point they use their entire paycheck on going out, and don't have any more money until the First, or until they fix someone's car or something. The only time Scumbags don't go out is when they're broke, they have too many kids, or when they accumulate so many DUIs that they are disallowed from driving anywhere other than to or from work by law. (Keithd, 9/14/13)

· Scumbags get laid constantly by all sorts of women; they do that because they are feral. They operate totally on instinct and never think about the consequences. Losers have lost this innate instinct, replacing it with silly, useless concepts like what constitutes a social construct. They only get laid whenever a unicorn graces their presence. (Onefortheteam, 9/14/13)

· Losers have it the hardest though. They are the most cerebral of Cliques when it comes to women, and they usually have to get really drunk to regain any of their feral instincts or spontaneity. (Wily, 9/14/13)

· Scumbags are like the cockroaches of the human race. If class warfare actually broke out Losers, Preps, Jocks, and Nerds could all slaughter each other till extermination, and Scumbags will still survive, despite their apparent inability to plan beyond 5 minutes. Truth be told, Scumbags would be humanity's only hope for survival. They go and we're all doomed. Do you know how to build a house where the roof doesn’t leak? A Scumbag does, even if he hasn’t been taught. Some shit is just high level feral. (Onefortheteam, 9/14/13)

· Scumbags don't know how to build a home in its totality. But thanks to division of labor, a team of Scumbags, led by a Jock or Prep, can implement the Nerd's design. (Anotherjd, 9/14/13)

· Scumbags are the very essence of America. While Preps were sitting pretty in East Coast cities or plantation houses, Scotch-Irish Scumbags were out there killing Indians, clearing land, and planting fields. Scumbags won the War of 1812, led in the Battle of New Orleans by Andrew Jackson, the greatest Scumbag in American history. Scumbags won the Mexican War; otherwise Themmigrant's hometown would be Ciudad de Carson.

The decline of America can be directly attributed to the ascent of the Loser. Preps, like the poor, will always be with us; every nation will have a ruling class, they're almost irrelevant. We sent the Scumbags' jobs overseas and told their kids they were worthless without a Liberal Arts degree. We know how that's been working out. (Ellellou, 9/14/13)

· The Scumbags are doing just fine, thank you very much. It's the sons and daughters of boomer liberal artists who worked as a middle manager at Chrysler for forty years pushing paper who are the ones that are fucked up. If Scumbags find their way to "college" it's usually to a community college to get a welding or HVAC certificate.(Sparky, 9/14/13)

· Nerds and Preps just understand things in the abstract. Give a Nerd a hammer and nails and somehow he'll manage to nail his hand to the shingle of a roof and hang helpless until a Scumbag bails him out. Well it depends, in today's day of division of labor the Scumbag is more dependent on the Prep's ability to plan on the macro level. Revert to sticks and stones and Scumbags are the cornerstone of survival. (Onefortheteam, 9/14/13)

· Scumbags are the backbone of this country and probably all countries. Preps can't fix a water heater or really do anything other than paper work. Scumbags could harness perpetual motion in a few days with the right budget. NASA shouldn't be hiring Nerds, they should be hiring Scumbags.

Losers are thinking about things while Scumbags are doing things. The Loser secretly envies the Scumbag. The Loser has Expectations which he knows he can never fulfill, and the Scumbag has no Expectations and is free to move about life as he pleases, often very spontaneously. In high school the Scumbag is working on cars and fucking the girl next door, while the Loser is thinking about liberal arts and jerking off. The only thing Losers and Scumbags have in common is wearing nametags to work. Even then the Scumbag's nametag is sewn on or painted on a truck cab, and the Loser's is clipped on.
