You try so, so hard yet you remain a "meh"

Keep plugging away though I am sure you'll find someone here who cares about what you say.

Glass houses, stones, etc...

I've never said I was going to stop posting, so swing and a miss, Stubs.

Better luck next time.



Apart from the few vegetarian ones I've bred, yeah.

Kavekk's even more adorable when she's suffering from that time of the month.

Maybe not, but you should probably quit while you're behind. Stupid little karma *****.

I wasn't even talking about getting rated down. I was referring to your bandwagon approach to debate, taking the side of the majority every single time. You've yet to express an opinion of your own that wasn't laden with sarcasm and blind ignorance of the topic. You're a stupid little **** stain and I honestly could care less whether you post or not, save the fact that I hate having to scroll over your posts, especially when you make so many of them.

As for the rate downs? Grow up. I haven't given a **** about that for a long time. Hell I'm still no-rated, and I honestly don't give two ***** about it.

I'm a fairly left-wing person, the majority view is normally left-wing. It's not particularly strange, then, that my opinion is generally in line with the forum (although it isn't always). If you think I've displayed ignorance then you're probably just misinterpreting what is me taking the **** out of the opposing position. Or you mean that Ireland thing, which was purely for lulz, although coincidentally I really do know very little about Ireland. I don't give serious opinions about things I don't have a clue about, unlike you, or about things which I do not understand, like you do - though, to be fair, there are far less of those for me than for you, so I guess I can forgive you for that.

And yes, Stubs, I know you're no-rated, I said so in my last post. As for the rate-ups? Grow up. I've never cared about that.

It takes some guts to come out in the open like that, Nixnot. Have a rate-up.

You've got it wrong, Karma = self worth, Post count = ***** size.

Wait, you;re saying you don't measure self-worth by ***** size?

I have to say from the posts here that most people have not had to really deal with the Welfare situation. Maybe you dislike my views but I have known people and persons living in the Section 8 housing next to me that pretty much make a living off of it. Believe me that Welfare is geared to to women and them having kids. This is what makes it such a sad situation for many. It also breeds a class of people that consider the welfare system a way of life.

As a typical example of a houshold on Welfare and goverment aid. I see a young woman checking out the vacant duplex next door. (previous tennents were evicted for drugs and theft ring) She has the Section 8 housing person with them and the local Slumlord showing the duplex. I actually asked the Section 8 housing and the landlord if this new tennent could have more people living there than her and the 2 kids. Both said "No!"

Fast forward to 3 weeks after she moved in. There are at least 8 people now living at the Duplex. I have drugs being sold and adult males and teenages that were not suppost to be there. Does Section 8 or anyone care? Shi! no!

Now explain how the system handles abuse and worse? I tried to get it handled and it is like wading into a black hole. No one cares and the neighbrohood suffers and the police have to deal with the drugs and crime.

I also had to apply for welfare because I was at the end of my rope a year back. The first thing I was told: "You get 3 months tops for Food stamps" I asked about what else I could qualify for and was told becaus I didnt have kids and single that was it. Rather sad but somehow I made it on luck till I got new job.

Do I say its wrong? Dam! It is!
I say that it is abused and worse. That it is broken and needs fixing. That I have seen the bad side of it? Come here and live next to Section 8 housing and have a feel for it. It's wide spread because I've seen examples in more than one state. Come and buy a home next to the Goverment housing and see what our dollars get for ya!

Your idealistic views are flawed as is our system. Before welfare was created we had community support and less issues. People like you live in La,La land and assume that everyting is fine as long as its not in your backyard.

How about Doing some community service and get your hands dirty dealing with Welfare people.

My views are from Facts and experience. How about you?

Our new HR director fixes Workman's Comp leechers by making a list of "Light Duty" jobs which are given to the Handler and the Doctors.

They then make the people come into work and do fairly annoying, menial work. Like sorting bolts in bins.

So rather than staying at home and getting paid, they have to come into work and be bored to death (Still doing work well within their doctor's limitations. This makes them heal faster, and be less likely to slack off and mooch off the system. He's even had places where they have set up some chairs in the break room and make the employees watch various saftey and operations videos and fill out questionaires. Anything to limit their time sitting around at home, still getting paid.


Maybe something to this effect could be applied to welfare. Why not mandate community service for those recieving welfare. X or Y hours per week. This way those that are recieving it for legitimate reasons continue to, and those that are trying to ride the system and not have to work suddenly have to do work in order to keep their free money, making it less appealing to the free riders.
