what do they do when the unemployment benefits run out? at least the people gaming the disability benefits have to be examined by doctors every few years.
U twits who have an issue with my unemployment...

i'm not quite as big a fan, but i agree totally with you on your character assessment.
he's going to need to dialog with me a little better and just be generally more positive, tactful and tolerant before he gets a whole lot of respect or backup from me when people are trashing him.
dana, apparently you have some talent with photoshop. that's a marketable skill. you don't need any stinking domain or web hosting service to start making money at it. $5.00 will buy you a box of business cards. another 5.00 will print up 100 flyers. you can post free ads all over craigslist, ebay, and a bunch of other places. if you can't promote yourself here, you can at thoughts.com.
sell yourself, dude. you'll be amazed at how easy it is if your work is any good.
that might not have been, but what he said to wyatt earp is a good start.
it just happens that because of this thread, i met wyatt on the side and he told me that he owns a forum site that filets people who post stuff like dana does as a general rule. it will be interesting to see how he responds to dana or any of the other people around here who push the drama envelope a bit.

Cammy you're not alone, I'm right there with you. I might not agree with what Dana says most of the time but at least he has a backbone and speaks his mind which is a hell of a lot more than I can say about a great number of people here.
well for someone who does not want to talk about unemployment you sure speak up a lot Dana
you seem to absolutley revel in the attention, and incite the flaming, you completley ignore sound advice and seem to relish the spotlight being on you
imho you neither deserve respect nor sympathy nor even goodwill

yes.......dana is pretty good with photoshop
And this thread is still going... By the way, Dana, if you can sit on OTz and type up all of the forums and comments, etc., why can't you do it at a desk job? :2cents:
That whole saga still rankles me today. Is it not ok to get on Dana's back, since he'll argue back? But the whole community could tell Jessica to get a life? When, let's be honest, some of the same offending members led a pretty similar existance, online and offline.
Who is Jessica?
She was a member here before she got banned, you'd have to ask a member of staff for the official reason.
*Waits for member of staff to tell me to get back on topic*

Wow. This is some thread. :ninja
Not so long ago, I posted directly to Dana, in another thread, about how I didn't like him for the longest time, and why. Prior to posting to him, I had taken a good long look at myself and HAD to ask myself WHY did Dana's posts and threads bug me so much? See, it's really not about Dana, at all. It's about how we feel about "things". Let's take this thread for example. A lot of the posts are attacks on Dana... "he's leaching off of the system... Or, that Dana lives with his parents... or, that he can dish it out, but he can't take it... "etc.
Is Dana critical of others? Yep. Is he rude to others? Yep. Does he complain a lot? Yep. Is he negative? Yep. HOWEVER... if y'all will take your focus off of that behavior, and really read him in a different light, he's a funny as shit guy. WE bring out the worst in Dana... not the best. So, who out there is willing to own their part in all of this? Let's see a raise of hands.
I challenge all of you Dana nay-sayers, to try and look at the positive side and see if after a week or so, you don't feel differently about Dana. Mainly, try responding to a post of his in a positive fashion, with a little laughter, and see if you don't get to know a different Dana.
It sure worked for me!

I don't need to know that bad... lol. I guess it was a similar instance?
dont count me in on the jessica thing
psssst...i've actually encouraged dana with his diet in pm's
I was fine with him when I first started posting here. It's kinda hard to keep a positive vibe about someone when the negative keeps lashing out. And about everything, too. I've noticed threads where he is hilarious and probably not bad company. However, I can see where the others are coming from, those who have been here longer than I and have seen the crap Dana posts about. It's ridiculous that thread after thread you see very little positivity in anything he writes. Last forum I posted on had a poster very similar, and it was one of the reasons I left.
I've noticed a huge difference in your interactions with Dana over the past several months. Just an FYI. :thumbup
if he's right i say so,if i dont think he is i say so too
