5. I don't think laziness is more prevalent for any particular group of workers.
Not sure the point of labeling a group as laziest is.

20. Sloth includes apathy.
Many times what seems to be doing less, is doing much of something else.

I think most of Sloth is not caring about anything, and from that not doing anything, leading to being lazy.

25. Mainstream journalists...all they do is repeat what their fascist GOP handlers need them to 'report'
it would require work to do otherwise.

46. yours is the best answer. ;)
all they really do is parrot from someone else.

I think I heard it was the NYTs that set the standard, and everyone else follows without any real investigation or journalism, just reguritation.

26. Does anyone really believe the rich could work 14 hours a day picking produce?
LOLOL!!!! Most of the wealthy have never even had to work in their lives. Look at Forbes, the Waltons (not the tv show) and all the others born into wealth. Does anyone really believe the rich work harder than the poor? Good grief. The poor built this nation. They built the railroads. They built the highways. They built all the great buildings in the world.

32. Gas station attendents
Used to be, they would check my oil and tires and clean my windshield while they pumped my gas.

Now all they do is sit on a stool and guard the Cheetos® and beef jerky while they take my money. Lazy but smart, they are.

41. Not surprised this is getting unrec'd. A lot of liberals are incredibly tonedeaf on this issue.
They insult Americans and wonder why awful laws like SB1070 get 70% support.

49. Do not throw rocks at me "Laziest" cubicle workers with a PC
I worked as a security manager in a HUGE unnamed corporate office complex, I have never seen so many coffee breaks, smoke breaks, parties for (insert any occasion) in my entire life. They even had these "collaboration" stations three on each floor (14 floors) where coffee and pastries were placed each morning. I have seen the same employees here hours at a time or back and forth several times a day, just chit chatting about, movies, sports, etc.

I always thought how in the hell could this company justify these 90,000 a year salaries with all the employees almost using there work as a social get together?

They don't even bother to look for the truth in what they report.
They just spew out what they think will have the desired effect.
