Maybe if you spent as much time as looking for a job as you do posting on this site you might actually be able to contribute to society.
Edited, Sep 19th 2010 9:16pm by ThiefX What part of being disable don't you understand. If I could work I certainly wouldn't spend my days playing computer games and reading the NY Times. Even a job were I have to ask, Do you want Fries with That?" would be better then not being able to save money for a rainy day.
I think the worst thing about having to accept that one isn't able to work and receiving SSI, is not being allowed to have more then $2000 in liquid assets. Since I still have a small life insurance policy (burial) that my grandfather brought when I was 5, I have to watch my bank balance carefully, or be penalized for going over the limit.
Plus I spent years contributing to Society and still, do as a volunteer.
How many badly thought out laws have you been able to stop at the age of 16, or been President of your local PTA as well as being on school board committees, were your opinion made a difference in the lives of students in your town or city?
Two days after my state delegate, sent a copy of a law he was working to a school board committee I was on back in high school, the law went down in flames. It would have require that all books brought by Maryland school systems, be available for public viewing no less then 3 months and thus make it impossible for a teacher to order a book in less then 18 months, the Baltimore Evening Sun came out with an editorial against the law.
He should have known that my family was good friends to one of the Sun reporters. After also lying to my mother, his political career ended. You just don't mess with us Montgomery's.
