Well this is going to come off as being an asshole maybe. I am going to say it anyway.

People with no jobs and barely scrapping by disgust me. Social assistanced pigs that have no sense of pride. Now I know there are circumstances that go againest what I am saying. If the economy sucks that is a different story. If you legitimately are trying to find a job your not in this catagory I have created in my head. The people that constantly feel sorry for themselve and think the world is againest them deserve a fucking kick in the pants. I have friend that are like this and I am trying to cut them out of my life. They expect sympathy and all I feel is disgusted.

There is a million reasons not to educate yourself. There all bullshit. Get a loan and educate yourself. If you really want to better yourself go to school. Take a trade. Take a work term. Do something that is productive instead of scrapping the bottom of the barrel. There are some people that are happy working at mcdonalds there whole life. That is fine. I don't care what someone does. As long as there doing something. Just don't complain about how tough your life is. You can't always play the cards your dealt but you can try and get a better hand. People waste years of there lives just complaining and wishing on stars that they win the lottery. While they live in there apartment smoking there cigarettes eating spam from a can. The real people I feel proud for are the ones that legitimately come from nothing and build a life for themselves and start the ground work for a better upbringing for there kids and there kids kids.

Get it clear though. There are exceptions to this. This is directed mostly at my generation (I am 28) we are for the most part thankless fucking pukes that want everything handed to us. I am fed up trying to be nice to my friends and some of my family. Wake the fuck up and do something for yourself. Go to school or work your way to something better. It is not going to be handed to you. Kudos to the people that have built your own live and rely on no one. Is it hard to get to this point ? Fuck ya. Is it rewarding ? Well if you have gone though it then you know the answear to this question.

I have more to add but that is it for now. Grrr this has been festering for some time.

There are certain people who were raised in a government subsidized existence who are just continuing the cycle. Those people need to be woke up to try to make a contribution to the world instead of being a leech on society. Those people with limited education who work menial jobs in order to take care of their families have my respect. I try to not get down on people but those unwilling to work do frustrate me.

What REALLY sucks is that you have people who need assistance and have paid into the system all their lives and now they can't get help when they need it. My mom is 62 years old and has worked all her life, but the past few years she hasn't been able to find work. She has a lot of problems w/ her knees, arms, neck and back due to arthritis from a car accident she had in her 20s. She was turned down for disability a few months ago. But if you're a drug addict or crazy, disability is easy to come by. THAT is what pisses me off.

Matter of fact, the last job my mom had she worked w/ getting people assistance like that. She got so sick of seeing families of 4 and every single one of them were on disability.

I have an issue with this as rell redliner! I worked my ass off for 3 years when i first got married to buy hot dogs and balogny and ramen noodles for my family, because I earned 15.00 too much per month to earn any food assistance at the time. My wife had just graduated with her masters degree, and her visual impairment was hindering her from getting a job in her field in our area because of having to do home visits when she didnt drive. there were no in clinic jobs available in our area. So we didn't get to get food assistance, but the jack ass down the street who works under the table for more money at the time than i made doesnt have a "reportable" income so he gets full on 300.00 plus a month for food for he and his 2 kids. He would use his EBT card and at the end of the month when he had to spend all of the money or get penalized he would by the neighborhood top end steaks and seafood to "cook out as a group". It used to infuriate me.

I am all for the program existing, people NEED the help. but there needs to be FAR more restrictions and limitations to what people on Government Assistance are allowed to purchase on these cards!!!

What's wrong with "crazy" people getting disability?

There are some parents here who train their children to act up so they get what they call "Crazy money" with total disregard for the stigma the child will have the rest of their lives.
