U got any quotes or evidence to support your argument?
Of course not who am I kidding.
The only stats you have are your awful kill/death ratios on Halo lolol.

Chaos,
If selling drugs is your way to make ends meet, then at least you're working. I won't argue the legality of it all because that's irrelevant.
You *** up your life with the drug use. You could have strictly stayed to selling it.
I was never arguing that some people don't need a little bit of assistance here and there between jobs. I was arguing that some people live outside of their means, and they do.
I bet since you lost your nicer job, you cut back on spending. You didn't lose that 15 grand a year of income and still tried to spend the way you did previously. If you didn't cut back, why should the government be responsible for paying the extra?

Where do you live and what do you live in?
It works in a similar fashion as owning a luxury car yes?
Bay Area, California. Property tax is a % of the value of your home paid every year the % is controlled by the county you live in.
I haven't owned a luxury car so I'm not sure what the details to that tax is.

Oh ok. I'm sorry then. I just got mad when I read the part about working hard in high school and getting your way paid to college. Not everyone can do that.
Yeah of course when I lost a job or lost income, I'd either 1. Cut back, or 2. Get more money somehow (not handouts).

you know what doesnt make any sense... strippers. They get naked on a pole, you throw money at them, they have sex with favored clients. Yet they get mad when we call them ***?
Only difference between then is one's already in a building on a pole and the other is in an alley sucking a pole.

this is true, if you own a house of your own and economy is slow for you, can't pay food and house even though you've cut back on everything else you shouldn't loose it because of a little economical downfall for a while, gov helps are helpful for keeping your house still. It's a really big loss emotionaly and economicaly giving away your OWN house just because you can't pay those 200-400 extra. geez
people need reality in here.

lol it stopped being serious after the two obvious opinions were spelled out.
and then you have me who can see merit to an extent with both concepts.
i'll poke holes in what you say if I don't fully agree.

I've never understood going to a strip joint unless your getting sex out of it... I mean... It's just like a giant expensive *** tease.

yea darki you got to understand that not everything is personally being said about you. I know you can probably feel defensive because you feel you are raising your child to the best of your ability.
there are many people who take advantage of programs and aid. I'm not saying anyone in this thread is or not I don't know anyone well enough but I do know people take advantage of it and taxpayers suffer, the programs suffer and it's a downward spiral that has laziness and greed spawning more laziness and greed

I don't understand people running after the government for support. I like working stuff out on my own and when stuff gets tough still be able to deal with it. Isn't that called responsibility???
Anyways wtv people are suggesting would raise taxes and increase inflation and in turn piss off the rest of the middle class and "Disney land ppl" and im pretty sure they would end up shooting down that idea.
I will now enjoy my warm food in my nice home while enjoying Cable TV and be trolling on the intrawebs.kkthxbye

Just drinking cheap wine until then. Sucks, but you do what you gotta do, ya know.
So, my friend has worked for a bank for a while, so he has seen a lot of shit. He tells me all the time about how people have gotten unemployment checks for years, as if it was another check to receive monthly. He's from a small town, so he knows some of these people. He knows that they take on odd-jobs that pay them under-the-table, as a way to get both unemployment and money for working. He knows that they also try to stay in a range so that they can still apply for foodstamps, which they then buy food just to sell for more cash.
So, this just pisses me off. I'm the type of person who likes to fuel my own anger to a subject, so I went browsing around the internet for stories of people doing shit like this.
The first place I check has this site. Read the very first comment afterwards:
yes i have a house and we pay 1600 for mortgage , and the others bills and they dont want to give us food stamp , by husband work in a temp job now because he lost his previous job , i have an illness and im taking ssi and i went to apply for f, stamps and they denied it , because we make a lot of money , but thet dont count , the water , the sewer, the phone , the cable the heat our personal expenses the insurance for both cars , groceries ect , i think they have to, change the way gov, its working , because we realy need a lilltehelp ..
I can only pray that this person is joking.. You can't have the internet, cable, phone, and TWO cars be factored into it as if they were all neccessary items for living. Of course they denied your damn food stamps! What is wrong with these people? Do they feel like they should be entitled the world for doing nothing?
