Hello all, i'm new here and wasnt quite sure if this belonged in this part or not, but i have a question concerning jobs. do all of you on here work?? and if so, how do you feel about people who cant find a job today??
-
Assuming you are not a troll, yes we all work or have worked and are retired. There are jobs to be found, just may not be the exact job paying what you want at the time. My experience is to take a job, work hard, and rise up to a better paying job.
-
I'm 75 and retired since 1992. Don't have a job and don't need one. Here's how I did it.
First job was 25¢/hour minimum wage jerkin' sodas after school. Dropped out of school, joined the USAF where I taught electronics and made $60/month (free room and board).
After discharge I went on job interviews and caught on as a casualty underwriter in the insurance industry. Made $450/month. After five years, worked for a defense contractor as a program manager. Got into computers and wound up working for the DoD as a computer systems engineer (IBM). Before retiring, I made sure my wife and I had a mortgage free home and loan free vehicles.
I worked diligently and hard and it's been a ride ever since because I was never paycheck oriented.
Jobs today? Don't vote for socialists. Look for equal opportunity, not equal outcome. Expect to start at the bottom of whatever you can find. If you have a degree in basket weaving, give it to your neighbor so he can start his BBQ. There are "Help Wanted" signs around if you look for them.

I feel they are either not focused enough on finding employment, or more likely unwilling to take jobs that are available until they find something more commensurate with their previous salary range.
Alternatively, unemployment benefits are overly generous to the point of being a disincentive for people to find work that they are capable of doing, but feel is beneath them, and I can't say I blame them. If you can collect $400 a week for doing nothing, why bother taking a $12 an hour job that pays about the same after taxes?
Simple as that.
-
how do you feel about people who cant find a job today??
I've never had a problem finding work. Maybe it's not in a field you want, or maybe you would have to move to a location that has the jobs, but they are out there.
The longest I was ever out of work was two months and I spent those 60 days "working" hard to find a job. I've known a few people who have been out of work since the so called down turn, but they didn't put much effort into finding work until their unemployment was about to run out and then what do you know, they found a job.

Do you work, and how do you feel about those who can't find a job (assuming they are in fact looking)?

I see you've met my brother.
He was laid off in the fall of 2008. He got 26 weeks, plus another 26 emergency extension when that ran out, then another 2 or three extensions for a total of 99 weeks of unemployment.
If you don't believe me, he wasn't the only one:
WHEN 99 WEEKS OF UNEMPLOYMENT RUN OUT (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/99-weeks-when-unemployment-benefits-run-out/)
All that while, when we would chat, he assured me he was "looking hard" and sending out "hundreds" of resumes.
When the 99 weeks ran out, about 3 weeks later, magically, he found a job! Hallelujah! What a coincidence!
I have zero sympathy for people who go almost 2 years and "can't" find work. They can find work; they just don't want to do it because their benefits are too generous. Like I said, I can't say I blame them.
-

So what say you, Mr. Post and Run? How do you feel? Is 99 weeks of unemployment at $400 a week enough, or should it be unlimited?
-
Second post, and you're already raising eyebrows. Why don't you tell us your opinion, and start the conversation with something besides an open question?
Hello all, i'm new here and wasnt quite sure if this belonged in this part or not, but i have a question concerning jobs. do all of you on here work??
I work 40 hours a week, operate a part-time business on the side, and write for fun and money. In the past I have worked two full-time jobs simultaneously, and have also been employed full-time while serving in the Army National Guard. In the past 33 years, the longest I have not been employed full-time was four months.
and if so, how do you feel about people who cant find a job today??
"Feel"? Feelings are immaterial. A stranger's "feelings" about me are meaningless to me, as my opinion of a stranger should be meaningless to him. DUmmies and other collectivists don't seem to be able to understand that.
"Finding a job" is expecting someone else to hire you, which means having skills demanded by employers. Most people I have met who are chronically unemployed don't make the offort to gain marketable skills, preferring to suckle on the government teat while complaining about how no one will "give" them a job.
Bottom line: If you can't make a living working for yourself, and you won't make yourself marketable to employers, you have no one to blame but yourself- and you shouldn't be paid from my wallet and those of every other hard working person.

I assumed I'd be a stay-home mom, maybe work part-time...but was stupid enough to marry an abusive man. After the divorce, he committed suicide, so my 3 kids and I ended up living on $650 a month Survivor's benefit (because we were divorced, all his estate and life insurance was put up for our kids.) I got an Associates of Science in Electronics, had my 4th kid just before graduation, and a few months later found a MINIMUM WAGE JOB. **GASP** After 30 days, they gave me a nickel raise, but at least I was above minimum wage, right?
After 5 years at that job, I got a job at the local hospital. I kept it for 7 years, until I remarried, then found work with a hospital system closer to my husband's children. I've been at that place for over 11 years now, and we're finally doing well enough that we now have 10 acres and a fairly nice home. :-)
Know how I got here? I KEPT MY JOBS. I've seem many, many people fail, the vast majority because they did something stupid to lose a job (coming to work drunk or high, no-call-no-show, failing drug tests, or just quitting when they got mad.) The most repeated advice I've given my 7 kids is Get and Job, and then Keep IT, no matter how much it sucks, you hate it, your boss is a jerk...until you get a better job! The ones that listened are VERY successful. :-)
-
Another way, is too stay with your job, stand back at look at the big picture. I got my associates degree 3 years ago in business, while waiting for the right opportunity' Even though it was rough at times, I held strong... Doing sewing and my own business making things, also I was promoted two months ago to dept mgr.

I've been in the work force for 40 years and counting. I've got about 5 more before I tell my employer to pound sand.
I don't buy your statement "people who can't find a job today." Work is available. All over.
-
The jobs are out there. I think higher education is a plus. One might have to start entry level, in an area and be willing to take a cut in pay, go to a community college or whatever, and buckle down, and prove to a prospective employer that you have what it takes. Even volunteering, even if you have too... The question is how much do YOU want this, are YOU willing to invest energy, money, time into the desired field? One great example on this board is Celtic Rose... Not only did she go to college, but she moved far away from her family to pursue a career, and is thriving...

BS for a hit and run post.
-
What do you consider "work", noob?
What I have done would be more than most people would want to handle, both in terms of working conditions (mostly outside) and hours (currently anywhere from 40 hours to 70-plus per week.) My compensation has run from so-so (if $700/month plus a BEQ room and chow hall is so-so) to top 10 percent AGI income per IRS figures.
I have two bills these days--my mortgage and my truck, and within about 7-10 years, I will have neither. I'll have plenty of money in my retirement accounts and my own savings.
It's not about what you do that day. It's about where you want to go, and how hard you're willing to work, study, etc., to get to that point.
Bottom line, if you expect someone to give it to you, take a hike. There are 100 people out there who will leave their footprints on your back.

sorry for taking so long to respond. i want to thank everyone for your comments. it helped me get an idea of what to expect around here once people learned of my situation. I'm a single 41 yr old male who has been homeless since Apr of 2013. i am a veteran and have an associates degree in electronics and a bachelors degree in public relations. i never got any unemployment and i am on food stamps currently till June of this year. unfortunately, i have been unable to find work from fast food stores to walmarts and dollar stores. i realize that the jobs lost arent coming back, but i do have some hope left that new jobs will be created eventually. i'm sure that most on here will probably have a low opinion of me, and i cant say i blame you. one thing i have learned from being homeless is that life is about winners and losers, and i'm not a winner by far. but in hte meantime, i keep coming to the library and trying to figure out what to do next. too much time is definitely a killer as boredom sets in right easy.

It is not your unemployment status, or even your homelessness, that will determine what others here think of you. It is your attitude, motivation, and willingness to make a better situation for yourself which will determine posters "opinion of you".
It is curious, however, the attitude you display in your post above, without giving any detail as to how you ended up in your situation. My guess would be that your negative attitude and the fact you think yourself a "loser" might have something to do with it. You'll get no sympathy for that here, if that is what you are looking for.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Can you say why your homeless? What about friends and family?
There should be some veterans help for you. What have you found out about that?

i was layed off from my job as electronic tech back at the end of 08. i decided to go back to college and get my BA degree and i graduated in may of 2012. since that time, i havent found anything. as to looking for sympathy, no thats not my intention. my only intention here is discussion. as to friends, i dont have any. the way i look at it, who wants to be friends with a homeless person anyways. as for family, they just think i'm slacking off and they dont have anything to do with me anymore, at least till i get a job again.

What does "electronic tech" mean? What was your new degree in?
I have had 3 jobs since I graduated from college in the 70s. I do IT (ERPs) but the most important thing I have done is keep "my tools sharp" by always keeping my education up to date. In my industry I am an old fart but I am very much sought-after since I take my 3+ decades experience and overlay it with the latest techo-trends. I have personal contact lines with cutting-edge people (but I happily stay one step behind that edge).
Have you done the same? If not, do you plan to? This is beyond just learnin' stuff...

Let me see if I got this straight. You live on the street, and go to the library to use the Internet- and you're wasting time on CC? You don't need us to hold hands and sing Kum-Ba-Ya with you. You need a good, motivational, kick in the ass.
Why aren't you working on improving your situation? No one is going to "give" you a job with a worthless BA and no job skills. If you really are a homeless Veteran, your local Job Service office has a Veterans outreach specialist who can tell you about, and place you in, a vocational training program. Learn a trade- welding, heavy equipment operation, truck driving, HVAC, plumbing- the list is endless.
Get your ass out there and make yourself desirable to employers - and have some dignity, for Christ's sake. Fake it if you have to.

as an electronic tech, i did such things as component level repair on handheld radios for first responders, software verification, field service, and testing and programming radios. i never really liked it so when i was layed off, i wasnt that upset. as far as other jobs that i have had, they never lasted very long and i wouldnt do those kinds of jobs again anyway. i went back to college so that i could get a decent job AKA not one where i have to stand all day or weld. i worked for a place called Areva, and we built nuclear fuel for different plants and we had to do a small amount of welding on them which meant getting certified. wont do that any more. thats why i dont have any job skills currently because all hte jobs i have had i hated and that was why i went to school so that i wouldnt ever have to do that kind of work again. better to be homeless than to wake up mad everyday that i actually woke up because i hated my jobs so much. as for dignity, well.. we lost that a good while back. at this point, its all about survival really. just trying to make the hours go by, thats why i'm on here. boredom will drive a man to do just about anything.

Wow. Just wow. Since you've got the world by the balls, how's that workin' out for ya?
Will boredom actually get you to stop feeling sorry for yourself, reach down, find what used to be balls, and grow a pair?
I didn't think so.
Wallow in your shit. It seems to be what you're destined for. :whatever:

BA in PR backed by your positive outlook on life and apparent excellent people skills should leave you in great shape for a great career where you can remain seated at all times. :whatever:

You're not going to survive (eat, dress, bath, etc.) by making the hours go by around here, son.
But now we know that you're just bored and not willing to do anything except hope for a job you think you deserve and doesn't make you mad. Meanwhile, you're taking up space and breathing oxygen meant for others.
With that resumé, I wouldn't hire you. Get lost!

do all of you on here work?? and if so, how do you feel about people who cant find a job today??
I don't care if people have jobs or not. -- As long as they leave me alone I'm good with it. What isn't right though is when they start wanting other people to pay their way. To achieve this they either have to steal from someone or vote for higher taxes and more welfare programs. Not sure I see much difference.
--And I'm definitely going to have to go back and read through this thread, looks like it might be fun after reading some of today's posts!
:panic:

Let me understand that you are a nuclear certified welder and you can't find work????
Bullshit, anyone needing pipe fitter work would hire you in a second.

Ok just read back through some of the posts and I'm sorry for your situation. You should do a search for Ladyfreedom on either this site or DU and you'll get an idea how she managed to get off the streets.

what i wouldnt give to have a job where i get to sit down.
Ok, that one gave it away, shit for brains.
So, did you have fun? If anything, I love getting the chance to tell one of you DU ****tards how I really feel.
It's not a matter of people "can't" finding a job. For you to believe that the majority of long term unemployed stay that way for 99 weeks due to no fault of their own is the epitome of naïveté.
But what the **** do you care...It's not your money they're sponging off of, right?
And to think I wasted an Earl Nightingale clip on you. Ugh. His advice is anathema to every silly belief you cling to. My only solace is that I know you didn't listen to it, and if you did, it would have gone right over your head.

So, to summarize:
You have no skills, by your own choice. You have a shit work history. You don't like work. You don't consider welding or the other trades to be "decent" work. You prefer homelessness, which apparently doesn't make you "mad", to working, which does. And, you want to be hired for a job that lets you sit on your ass all day long.
It's a mystery to me that you're not the CEO of a Fortune 500 company. A ****ing mystery!
boredom will drive a man to do just about anything.
Anything, apparently, except for getting off your lazy ass and making yourself marketable.
Choke on a ****ing food stamp, dickhead. The rest of us are not out here working so you can hold out for a job that puts a smile on your face.

You cant walk into any job, and think you are going to get that corner office, on the 50th floor. Had you stuck with one job, no matter how shitty, you might have been there, or damn close...
Many , if not all of us, had to stick our faces in the mud, to get where we are today. Why didn't you go to college, for something you did like, that you would have been in a career you desired, and enjoyed.?....grrrrrrrrrrr :rant:

i'm not looking to become a welder again. right now, the only jobs i have been putting in for are education based and any cubical type job. if i had known i would have had to learn how to weld when i got on at Areva, i wouldnt have taken that job. as it was, i was only there for a little over a year. over a year too long in my book.

wow, a lot of hatred from this post. its not by my own choice that i have no skills. my family has always been blue collar, work till you drop and i wanted something more. my family thought i was too uppity when i said i didnt want to do manufacturing. i think manufacturing jobs are the worst. my first manufacturing job was at a place called ericsson..i HATED it. in fact, i hated it so much that i enlisted because at that time i believed it would help me get a better job after i did my 4 years. problem was, after i got out, i moved back in with my folks and they were bound and determined that i was going to go back into manufacturing. so jan of 01 i started back in manufacturing, made a LOT of mistakes, like buying a house, and in the middle of 03 i quit. i sold my house and moved in with some friends. middle of 04 i got on at Areva. i hated it, but i had changed because i was soo tired of having such shitty jobs. i no longer cared about work. and so i was out of work till end of 06. i got on at a place called Tyco. i was hired as an intern, they sent us to school and we worked part time. after i got my two year degree done, they let me go because me and my supervisor fought all the time about my hours. so i decided to go back and get a 4 yr degree and get that office job i had always wanted. i went back and got my BA in public relations and history. i absolutely LOVED going to this college. after i got out..i tried and tried to get a job. and what i found was.. there really arent any "good" jobs in this area. this town has been a manufacturing type town for as long as i can remember. and i even tried to get a job at a job fair as an electronic tech again. problem was, i had a 4 yr degree. hte HR lady wasnt interested after she heard this. i was a flight risk. and in that time since, i have realized that if i want to get out of this situation, i will have to move to an area where manufacturing isnt the only type of job. so why do i not have any skills?? because i never had a job that i liked and really wanted to do again. other than my college years, i have no skills for THIS area. i even remember one of my history professors had talked to us in a class one day about the horrors of manufacturing and i chimed in with how bad they REALLY are. i can tell all of you this much... there are worse things than being homeless, one of those is working at a manufacturing plant. i'll pick homelessness over manufacturing ANY day of the next century.

^Sounds like you've made your decision about what you want to do.
Why don't you sign up with a temp agency working in an office of a PR firm, or any firm for that matter? Even if you start at the bottom doing clerical stuff, at least you could get your foot in the door and gain some experience while earning some money.

wow, a lot of hatred from this post.
What is it with you dimwits and "hate"? It's like that's the only word you simpletons know other than "racist".
You'd be better served if you could better distinguish implied emotion. If you could, you'd know not to assign "hate" to what is best described as contempt and disgust.
its not by my own choice that i have no skills.
If you're to be believed (and, DUmmie, I don't think for a minute you are), it was your choice. I'll be glad to repeat your words back to you if you can't remember them.
my family has always been blue collar, work till you drop
You must be a huge disappointment.
i can tell all of you this much... there are worse things than being homeless, one of those is working at a manufacturing plant. i'll pick homelessness over manufacturing ANY day of the next century.
So you have no skills because you choose not to, the certifications you claim are probably expired and worthless, you are a distraction and drag in your workplaces, you have a worthless bullshit degree, no work ethic, no sense of pride or self preservation, no drive, no desire to be a productive member of civilized society.
*SMFH*
Take your troll ass back to the DUmp, retard.

This is where you completely fail. YOU are responsible for YOURSELF. If you're 41, you've graduated to adulthood. Perhaps you're confused as to what "adulthood" means. It means nobody wetnurses you any more. It means nobody is going to give you a free lunch. It means that nobody is going to put a roof over your head. It means being a contributing member of society rather than a ****ing freeloader.
Wasp69 stated it very well. You're hearing disgust and contempt. Nobody knows you well enough to hate you. Besides, hating somebody you don't even know consumes energy that, frankly, shouldn't be wasted on the object of that hatred. So get with the program, dipshit.
Ain't nothing wrong with disliking manufacturing jobs. For me personally, doing something like that day-in, day-out, would drive me insane. So, in recognizing that fact, I set out to PREPARE myself for the time when I could move into a job that was more to my liking. I researched my options, went to school, competed for jobs, won one that I liked, then busted my ass inside that job to learn all that I could. And then I continued to bust my ass after I moved around the country chasing better jobs.
The rest of your screed is simply pathetic. You're a loser.
there are worse things than being homeless, one of those is working at a manufacturing plant. i'll pick homelessness over manufacturing ANY day of the next century.
Translation - as long as somebody else is putting a roof over my head, or I'm living in a cardboard box, or someone's feeding me meals out of a soup kitchen, all is right with the world because I'm not working a manufacturing job.
You've made your choices, chump. Now you're living with them.

the best part is, i agree with you 110%. thats the best part about this. life is about winners and losers. i gladly accept what my fate has become. but it seems to me that all of you are disgusted with me not working. thats the part i dont understand. if i'm happy with how my life turned out, and i'll be off food stamps in may, no harm, no foul. for me, if i dont care what happens to me, then i most def dont expect anyone else to care. believe it or not, when it rains and you have a wooden roof, it'll put you out really good at night.

Let me try and clarify it. I'll type slow so you understand.
Working people produce. Working people pay taxes. Working people contribute to society. Working people benefit the society as a whole. Working people benefit the economy too.
Freeloaders like you (and I don't give a rat's **** if you're going off food stamps in May, WHO THE HELL IS PAYING FOR YOU TO EAT NOW AND UNTIL MAY?) contribute nothing but vermin. You and the cockroaches, lice, and scabies you live with destroy our society and infect our animals.

Why do you consider yourself a conservative? Your values don't seem to indicate that. Second question, do you suffer from an alcohol or drug addiction problem? Is that part of why you are in this situation?

I'd trade my sit-down IT job if I knew how to weld. Those guys make more money than I do.

Not a bit of hatred. I don't give a shit about you- if you die tomorrow, it won't change my life in the least.
That was an incredibly DUmb thing for you to to say.
i'll pick homelessness over manufacturing ANY day of the next century.
You are exactly where you chose to be in life. Own it, as we say. Just don't expect me and everybody else who work and pay taxes to support you while you sit on your non-productive ass.

have you thought about moving to where the jobs are? This afternoon I heard Sean Hannity talking to a woman who's 19 year old son moved to North Dakota and got a job in the oil fields, working essentially 6 months out of the year (2 weeks on/2 weeks off rotation) and making $60k a year. He had another guy on who got out of the Army and went to work in the oil fields in Texas and is making $100k for the same 2 on/2 off schedule.
The jobs are there if you are willing to look for them, accept something below your current expectations as long as you are willing to work hard and advance on your own merit. If you aren't willing to put in the effort, then nothing anyone here says will make a difference.

Hello all, i'm new here and wasnt quite sure if this belonged in this part or not, but i have a question concerning jobs. do all of you on here work?? and if so, how do you feel about people who cant find a job today??
Going back to your original question. Asking decent conservative folks how they "feel" about something is a waste of time. Further, claiming you can't find a job is pure self delusion as your subsequent posts clearly show that finding a job is the furthest thing from your mind. Finally, your sloppy/lazy writing style shows you are clearly unsuited for any type of office work and your efforts at educating yourself were wasted.
Personally, I don't feel anything about you. Even pity would be wasted.

Sorry new writer, I as a female with just a nursing degree found after a few years I was not suited to my job. I was so involved with my patients I would call on my day off to check on them. A death was to me a failure and just could not get around the fact that death was a natural outcome for some of my cases.
So I quit my job and drove a school bus, now there was a sit down job. Later I moved and got a job at minimum wage in a cosmetic company, moved after a lay off and found myself working in the bilges of ships doing lagging.
Next job lasted 22 years, worse one I ever had, standing on wet concrete floors 10 hours a day, some times 6-7 days a week, exhausting. Started at $5.00 an hour and by the time I retired was making $20.00 an hour with benefits and a 5 week vacation paid every year.
Now I hated my JOB, but the management was super and I managed to have some fun with coworkers, we became family. All in it together and we bust our ass to make the company successful. Bonus checks of a weeks pay at the end of the year helped.
WORK is just that, WORK, it is not suppose to be fun or easy, we do not all get a job being a recreation director on the Love Boat.
I can see where your family is coming from, hard work and pride in doing so. Every time I got my pay check it was to me a pat on the back for being valuable to the enterprise and gave me the feeling I was worth something to society.
Now that I have retired I am a bit adrift, I get my #SS check every month for doing nothing but being alive. There is no satisfaction every week from seeing the results of my labor, no more team work and the lets all pull together for a common good.
You Sir may not like welding but if you are good at it, well that is WORK, get better at it, learn from the old timers. I was surprised to find we in the manufacturing jobs earned more then the sit down office staff who could not get over time.
One woman in her late 50's worked all the overtime offered and made $35,000 one year and she could not read or write or speak English well.

well despite the negative (and a few decent) comments, i learned one thing. majority of those posting the negative comments are merely establishment republicans, not true conservatives. you see, a guy like me steps back and figures out the problem and wants to fix the problem. i have YET to read one comment that actually addressed the real problem. it would seem that on one hand, liberals are trying to make the situation worse by raising min wage. you establishment republicans only viewpoint is that you should just work at ANY job you can find. both sides are not interested in trying to fix the problem. the problem is, 20, 10 yrs ago, one could get any job they wanted as long as they had a college degree. today, that is not so. there are NO DECENT middle class jobs available. you have crappy wal mart jobs or you have jobs that require a MA and 10 yrs of experience. the middle class jobs are GONE. and they are not coming back. not one person asked why did he go back to college so late in life? the reason is to never have to do crappy jobs again. i REFUSE to do another crappy job ever again. i'm better than that. i might be homeless but i still have my dignity knowing i'm not a wal mart greeter. we had a special on the local news the other nite talking about why people cant get a job today. they didnt go to some CEO or politician to find out, they went to the low level supervisors and HR folk. you know what they said?? again, they said what people like me have known for the last few years. 1. if you survived the recession in 08, you may very well last at your full time job for the foreseeable future. 2. if you have not worked in 6 months, you are unemployable no matter what skills you have. 3. the days of just hiring anybody to fill a position are long gone. One of the HR folk mentioned for a regular part time manufacturing position, it took them 8 weeks to find a person to hire. this person had no college, but had been working full time at another job. this leads back to #2. and lastly, because of the recession, companies now know just how much they can cut back and still profit. you folks can keep thinking about how wal mart will save you, but the rest of us are going to sit back and wait till things get worse. things are going to get much worse before better. and BTW, some of you keep talking about how we are a "SOCIETY" well guess what...if thats your view then we are all in this together and you WILL continue to pay for "vermin" like me. hope that makes your day. oh yea, btw.. i changed a friends headlights for some money. easiest 20 bucks i made in the last 2 months. keep working for those that are on min wage lol.

You're wrong.
Your inherent negativity is the "real" problem. Period.
Period.
There are no jobs because you tell yourself there aren't any.
You are unemployable because you tell yourself you are.
Things are going to get worse for you because you tell yourself they are.
You are your own worst enemy. We've basically been trying to tell you that--but you don't want to listen. You'd rather blame everyone and everything else for your own problems rather than stop thinking about what it is you don't want and start thinking about what it is you want.
It's as simple as that, but I can tell I'm wasting my time here. You'll believe what you want to believe.

I don't read your posts unless they're short, walls of text give a headache.
But allow me to tell you something that you want to hear.
I don't care what happens to you and neither do you, you can go die in a ditch eating worms and it won't make a bit of difference to me.
Actually, I rather like drowning yourself in a bucket (that wasn't me but I forget who came up with that.)
You've made your choices so I don't understand why you continue to bother us with this insipid thread.

The hobo life > honest work. Riiiiight. Weren't you the asshole who said he had no dignity, and was just trying to survive? Either you were lying then, or you're lying now. Either way, you're a lying asshole.

I enjoyed my time working in retail. It's actually one of my more favorite jobs. I also never worked so hard physically in my life, and it sure beat sitting on my butt in front of a computer all day. The time flew by too.
I've had a lot of jobs (by choice) as most of them were through a temp agency. I never looked at my jobs as work per se. I think it's an attitude. I went into everyone as a challenge and to learn something new and add to my growing list of business experiences.
What I find distressful about the OP's attitude, is that he made a choice to be homeless and not work. I'll never understand that. I really don't care either, as long as he isn't taking from the system that tax payers support.
Being a grown up means your supposed to take care of yourself. I don't see where exposing oneself to the dangers of being homeless or taking tax payer funded food stamps is acting like a responsible adult.

Thanks Scoobie, at my age it is difficult to understand the new world and the new life people live.
Only thing I understand is the dignity of people that rejoice in their accomplishments.
I understand the fact that few have any interest in building something for the future, be it themselves or monuments to the future.
We are becoming sheep in the field, they do not toil or give any labor to others, they just exist to eat, sleep and breed to be used by other and expect the others to keep them warm and fed, until they are culled out to feed the Masters for their desires.
Dignity must be instilled in the youth, the ethic of pride in their doings, the pride in themselves, the pride in their ability's such as they are be it to hoe a corn field better then others or to as a house wife be the best in canning vegetables and taking first place at a country fair.

I'm curious to know, and am still waiting for, snaz to explain how his morals, values, and beliefs, as expressed in this thread, make him categorize himself as a conservative:
Hello, i'm new here and thought i'd say hi finally. i live in Va and am a guy, 41 yrs old and conservative. thanks for adding me here, i look forward to typing with yall
You've given us a history of yourself dating back to '01 and not once, in any of your rantings, have you demonstrated conservative leanings in any way, shape, or form.
So what were you expecting?

I don't think someone who actually had a plan past getting a sit down job in a cube farm qualifies for the scorn this goon has so rightfully earned.

I was sort of riffing on the joke... Agree on all your points :)

Oh... Well, uh.... :shucks:

you see, a guy like me steps back and figures out the problem and wants to fix the problem.
Then why don't you have a job? You figured out the problem and fixed it, right?
No. You chose homelessness. You made a choice.
You said being homeless is better than working at a crappy job.
No it is not. A job may be crappy, you may hate it, but if it puts a roof over your head, and food on your table...then it is a GOOD job.
I've worked crappy jobs. Hated every minute. But I did a good job, and when I could jump ship to a better place: I did.
But you seem to think it is somehow ennobling to be homeless. That is why I believe you are lying. I've known people who are really homeless, and they hate it.
Snaz, you are a simple troll. You're sitting at home, on a computer either you or mommy bought for you, and you are just being an a$$.
and as for being a true conservative...conservatives are self reliant. You don't even know what that means.
~~ B!tch slap for being a troll.

sorry for taking so long to respond. i want to thank everyone for your comments. it helped me get an idea of what to expect around here once people learned of my situation. I'm a single 41 yr old male who has been homeless since Apr of 2013. i am a veteran and have an associates degree in electronics and a bachelors degree in public relations. i never got any unemployment and i am on food stamps currently till June of this year. unfortunately, i have been unable to find work from fast food stores to walmarts and dollar stores. i realize that the jobs lost arent coming back, but i do have some hope left that new jobs will be created eventually. i'm sure that most on here will probably have a low opinion of me, and i cant say i blame you. one thing i have learned from being homeless is that life is about winners and losers, and i'm not a winner by far. but in hte meantime, i keep coming to the library and trying to figure out what to do next. too much time is definitely a killer as boredom sets in right easy.
Electronics? Start applying to hospitals and other large medical companies...Fresenius, DaVita, etc. Biomed tech jobs are not plentiful, but when a company needs one, cross training from electronics is very common. I would guess beginning wage now at maybe $12 - 15 an hour. I've done it for 18 years and make $25+ in the lowest-wage portion of the US.

Sounds like we got another liberaltarian (another self-appointed "true conservative").
This asshole is not libertarian, Chris.
Here is the basis of his outlook on life:
In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly—only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!
-Karl Marx, "Critique of the Gotha Program"

I'm curious to know, and am still waiting for, snaz to explain how his morals, values, and beliefs, as expressed in this thread, make him categorize himself as a conservative:
You've given us a history of yourself dating back to '01 and not once, in any of your rantings, have you demonstrated conservative leanings in any way, shape, or form.
morning folks, just got to the library. since this comment seemed an honest question, i'd thought i'd answer it this morning. my morals, values, and beliefs are all conservative. i would say very conservative. first, i believe in economics first and foremost in life. the VERY reason we exist is to be prosperous. second, is freedom and liberty. the thing that kills me today is the belief that we are a nation founded on equality. we were NEVER founded on equality. if we were about equality first, why did we have a civil war? why did we need a 13,14,15 amendment? people may be born equally, but we do not remain equal. one of the things that i think the GOP is messing up on is this abortion mistake. the reality is, that people are going to do what they want to do. if you believe that gun control doesnt work, then why would you believe abortion control would work?? you cant have liberty and equality in the same system.
as for calling me a liberal, i find it amusing that because i'm unemployed, i MUST be a liberal. the belief that if someone has a different belief than you, they cant be conservative. at this point, i realize that America cant be saved. the great experiment has finally failed. it has failed because of a lack of unity in the GOP. i realize that we will never see a true conservative pres or congressman in power again. the majority of Americans no longer know whats in their best interest. they wish for the govt to make the hard decisions for them. and i think too many people just go along with the program to save themselves any headache such as door knocks from big govt.
if you truely wanted to fix America, we would look into segregation. multiculturalism is a failure, socialism is a failure, and the American way is a failure. its time for like minded folk to live next to like minded folk. i hope this helps you out a bit. i have plenty more to discuss, but this is what comes to me this early morning. i havent had lunch yet and tummy is growling already.

i LOVE it when folk rely on spelling and grammar on the internet as an argument. thanks wasp...you made my day brighter knowing i made you a bit flustered. as to the cubicle job....i cant think of a better job than a cubicle job. its my dream job. sitting behind a computer for 8 hrs a day AND getting paid?? HEAVEN son.. it would be HEAVEN to me.

Spelling and grammar are sidebar issues, to be sure, especially when compared to your professed acceptance for a lifestyle associated with the inherently greedy and welfare-dependent.
I'm gonna love this when wasp weighs in. Trust me, snaz, your ass will be sucking buttermilk.

well despite the negative (and a few decent) comments, i learned one thing. majority of those posting the negative comments are merely establishment republicans, not true conservatives.
Oh, shit--we got a live one here, kids! A "true conservative", says he!
you see, a guy like me steps back and figures out the problem and wants to fix the problem.
Yeah, I'm going to be lectured about "solutions" and "fixes" by a guy whose life is a ****ing soup sandwich, who can't be bothered to do what it takes to even provide for his own basic needs, rather than sit on his ass and have the rest of the world provide for his shiftless ass.
i have YET to read one comment that actually addressed the real problem.
You're lazy. Problem addressed.
it would seem that on one hand, liberals are trying to make the situation worse by raising min wage. you establishment republicans only viewpoint is that you should just work at ANY job you can find. both sides are not interested in trying to fix the problem.
Not really. Liberals are more interested in creating a dependent class, and looking at you and hearing your story, they're doing a ****ing bang-up job of it. A CONSERVATIVE (even us "establishment" types) is more of the mind of letting people rise (or sink) on their own merits and abilities. Ohhh, you mean self-reliance does in fact matter? Who knew?
the problem is, 20, 10 yrs ago, one could get any job they wanted as long as they had a college degree. today, that is not so.
Uh, newsflash--nope. That's NEVER been the case. You need to have a relevant degree, relevant experience, and most importantly, the attitude and work ethic that companies look for. So far, you're batting .000, aren't you?
there are NO DECENT middle class jobs available. you have crappy wal mart jobs or you have jobs that require a MA and 10 yrs of experience. the middle class jobs are GONE. and they are not coming back.
Really? I've been in the utility industry for the last 15 years, and there are plenty of them. Sorry it's not sit-on-your-ass work, and involves a lot of physical effort, but I'm certainly well compensated for what I do. So how bad do you want to eat?
not one person asked why did he go back to college so late in life? the reason is to never have to do crappy jobs again. i REFUSE to do another crappy job ever again. i'm better than that. i might be homeless but i still have my dignity knowing i'm not a wal mart greeter.
Nor am I, but if it came to that or homelessness, I'll mop floors, scrub shitters, and do what it takes to provide for me and my family--BTDT. More than once.
we had a special on the local news the other nite talking about why people cant get a job today. they didnt go to some CEO or politician to find out, they went to the low level supervisors and HR folk. you know what they said?? again, they said what people like me have known for the last few years. 1. if you survived the recession in 08, you may very well last at your full time job for the foreseeable future. 2. if you have not worked in 6 months, you are unemployable no matter what skills you have. 3. the days of just hiring anybody to fill a position are long gone. One of the HR folk mentioned for a regular part time manufacturing position, it took them 8 weeks to find a person to hire. this person had no college, but had been working full time at another job. this leads back to #2. and lastly, because of the recession, companies now know just how much they can cut back and still profit.
Sounds like you need a serious kick in the ass. You have yet to realize that you can be successful, if you WANT to be, if you're willing to WORK for it. EVERYONE starts off at the bottom of their respective ladder. What makes you think you're such a special little snowflake? Newsflash--tough times only tell me who I'd want when TSHTF. Those people you're talking to are also full of shit. Competition is getting more cutthroat each and every day, and you either learn to survive, or you sit in the corner and whine like a little bitch. From what I've seen, you're definitely not falling into the first camp.
you folks can keep thinking about how wal mart will save you, but the rest of us are going to sit back and wait till things get worse. things are going to get much worse before better. and BTW, some of you keep talking about how we are a "SOCIETY" well guess what...if thats your view then we are all in this together and you WILL continue to pay for "vermin" like me. hope that makes your day. oh yea, btw.. i changed a friends headlights for some money. easiest 20 bucks i made in the last 2 months. keep working for those that are on min wage lol.
Thanks to Obamacare, you might well be right. But I'm not going to whine about it either. I'm gonna put on my big girl panties and do what it takes to take care of me and mine. Personally, you're not worth the sweat off my left nut, but then again, I won't have to worry about you on my jobsite either. Bonus on both counts.

Nobody is giving you grief over an occasional misspelled word. It's your slaughtering of the English language, despite having a degree which would normally indicate at least a working knowledge of writing and communication, which gives us pause as to your bona fides and qualifications.
Maybe it's that, coupled with your entitlement attitude, which has generated the crappy results you've experienced thus far. You can expect more of the same, until you change your outlook. However, given your responses, I'm not seeing a whole lot of hope on that front either.
To sum it up, one of your GCE's (gross conceptual errors) is equality is something that is lifelong. The Founding Fathers believed that all men are CREATED equal. They don't all end up in the same place. That misconception of equal results is the libtard canard, and a false one at that. You would have been scorned by those you hold up.

You don't understand brain-sweat do ya?
Situation: Procurement Director wants to have all end users perform their own purchases, with approvals over $1000 at the Manager level, $10,000 at the Director level, $100 million at the VP level.
The delivered system cannot manage above $1 million and it will take 10 months to get all end users access and trained. The project is 5 months.
SOLVE! This is your dream job! And if you don't you get to go back to being someone who reports to the Walmart Greeter.
(fellow ERPers I know you can easily solve this and will poke holes in the premise: This is a thought exercise exemplar that is the low bar on the "holy crap" continuum as you well know. Let's see how Timmy enjoys his new dream job).

Attention to detail is an important requirement for any job above Walmart Greeter. A word or 2 may slip through but if you wish to tell the world you have intelligence then the mechanics (such as spelling, grammar and English syntax) are the entry points to creating credentials.
I do try (and I hope my friends here will back me up) to use proper grammar (sans the occasional dangling participle since it can be a hassle to reverse engineer sentences).

I vote we ban this troll.
He came here to start a fight.
He posts an obviously FALSE premise, that he he homeless by choice.
He's not even much fun as a chew toy. Boring troll is boring. Bobo the Hobo was more fun.
I say let him go before he starts fights elsewhere on the board.

I disagree...
He is handing us perfect examples of what passes for argumentation in the libtard world.
He is on the line here and so few trolls actually make it beyond post 1.
It keeps us from being an echo chamber and helps a bit in keeping our blades sharp (although this particular troll is to our blades as pudding is to Bill Cosby).
Fun is where it finds you sometimes... :)

I would agree to not ban him.
His ears are shut. He lives in his own universe and sees himself as some sort of rebellious, go-it-alone, anti-hero although he has nothing to offer except specious dreck.
If it's an eight hour sit-down job in front of a computer he wants, he could check with telemarketers or answering services. I think their turnover rates are pretty high. He could wear a white shirt, tie, and sit at a desk in a cubical since he seems to think that those are the marks of "middle-class".
I say leave him be; besides his posts can be amusing to read. And even failures can be useful as bad examples.

I vote he stay, he answers some questions I have on what's the trouble with kids today.
Could it be he is using his deplorable condition as a cover up for his personal failings ?
I do know employers for a part time job driving a school bus do one heck of a back check on applicants. We leave a paper trail a mile wide behind us.
Few businesses even the fast food joints will hire someone to handle money if they have a felony on record. At the age of 41 he may have racked up all kinds of stuff that may make it impossible to be hired for other them migrant work in the fields.
He can go to a interview for a job but if he is currently wearing a police ankle bracelet, is on the sex offender list, is on the no rehire list from past jobs, it matters not what schools he has gone to, cannot pass a piss test--------Now he bitches he cannot get a job.
At the age of 41 homeless and crying the Blues, says he likes his life style on one hand and on the other he cannot find a job is rather odd.
Bah------excuses, excuses---- Even serial killers can come up with an excuse for their actions------

Thanks for the vote, Euph, but, really, why bother? This DUmbtard can't stand to get sweaty (if it is to be believed), so what would be the point of shredding its sorry ass? If it wants a job sitting behind a computer, one would think it would be smart enough to understand the necessity of proper grammar without me having to say it out loud.
Then again, I have to wonder why this leftard twit hasn't thought to apply with the government? It has all of the qualifications: Liberal, lazy, self righteous, entitled, borderline illiterate, bullshit degree... Shit, I know GS 12 and 13 program heads that are all of those things. I think this DUmmie troll is, in all actuality, perfectly qual'd to step right into a cabinet level position with its president.

True 'nuff, but sometimes you just have to sharpen the talons. This ****tard doesn't have what it takes for a cabinet level gig, even for Barry. Despite his insistence on undeserved entitlements, his demonstrated laziness, and his complete and total failure to be a man with a pair of balls, he still has the ambition of a dead snail. Say what you want about Barry and his 'tards, they are an ambitious lot.

its amazing how badly ppl can misinterpret what someone else says on here. first off, i'm not complaining about my situation, i said its better than what i had before. apparently none of you have REALLY hated a job before and you merely "do as you're told" like establishment republicans tell you to do. in other news, today it has been very windy and cold (what else is new in winter time right?) i found a couple of jobs to apply for on craigslist. one is at my old college. its a sitting down job too.. God how nice would that be. anddd i have been following the Ukraine issue. found some videos of whats going on over there and all i can say.. if you think that it cant happen here, you're only lying to yourself. oh, the reason i dont respond on sundays is because the library is closed around here. i am amused to see you all turn on one of your own kind though. k gotta go, gonna get ready to apply for these jobs and then later, i think it's gonna be nap time for me. i have taken naps since i was in HS. naps are great. k bye :cheersmate:

Let me break down my entire take on whatever it is you are trying to say/do/whatever:
(http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y128/wasp69/funny-pictures-boba-fett-with-the-sick-pass.gif) (http://s4.photobucket.com/user/wasp69/media/funny-pictures-boba-fett-with-the-sick-pass.gif.html)
But don't mistake the disgust and contempt you are getting from the decent, civilized people of The Cave with anything other than disgust and contempt.
Does this help, troll?
-
Hello all, i'm new here and wasnt quite sure if this belonged in this part or not, but i have a question concerning jobs. do all of you on here work?? and if so, how do you feel about people who cant find a job today??
I suppose that when you misrepresent yourself with your very first opening question, then you shouldn't accuse others of misinterpreting the meaning and motivation of your question.
Had you said "How do you feel about people who are more than qualified to work, but because they don't want to *gasp* work hard, CHOOSE to be homeless and live off other people's sweat until they can find themselves some cushy cubicle job where they can just sit on their ass all day and collect their paycheckâ€, you would have saved us all a great deal of time and trouble, and I’m sure our responses would have been more germaine to your actual situation. You would have shown yourself, from the beginning, as the leach and POS that you truly are.
As far as any political party is involved with controlling what I do, well, congratulations on your Socialist Demigod Obama, because it seems the harder I work, the more he steals out of my pocket to help fund your lazy, irresponsible, blame everybody but yourself, shitty attitude self.
And you claim to be a conservative. No, scooter, you are no conservative. And no "establishment Republican" tells me what to do. My morals tell me what to do. My values tell me what to do. My family obligations tell me what to do. Needing to put a roof over my family’s head and food in my children's mouths tells me what to do. Those are conservative values. Not expecting anything more than the hard work I put into something, that is a conservative value. Self sufficiency is a conservative value. Self-preservation is a conservative value. Helping someone get a leg-up when they are going through a rough time is definitely a conservative value, as you have seen in the first page of this thread, even.
But when that someone CHOOSES to be in the Helpless Class, as I like to call it, someone much like yourself as you have later detailed, then my sympathy for you ends, and you can FOAD.
Is that clear enough for you?
-
naps are great. k bye :cheersmate:

I wonder if he'll still be thinking that he did his best when he's 65. Will his future be better than what he has now? Conservatives work for a better future by applying the lessons learned from past experience, while Liberals constantly repeat the past failures hoping for different outcomes.
i found a couple of jobs to apply for on craigslist. one is at my old college. its a sitting down job too.. God how nice would that be.
Craigslist? What college did he go to that advertises for help wanted on Craigslist?

So, hard work and grit in less than perfect circumstances=kowtowing to overlords? I guess you are doing hat you are told by your Communist Elitists.
We all had jobs we didn't like. Some still do. Others got off their asses and developed a skill-set that let them get lucrative jobs we enjoy. Grinding it out to take care of your family is as noble as using time and resources and risk to look for that better opportunity.
No way are you 41 -- more like 21 at the most and 11 more than likely.

as an electronic tech, i did such things as component level repair on handheld radios for first responders, software verification, field service, and testing and programming radios. i never really liked it so when i was layed off, i wasnt that upset. as far as other jobs that i have had, they never lasted very long and i wouldnt do those kinds of jobs again anyway. i went back to college so that i could get a decent job AKA not one where i have to stand all day or weld. i worked for a place called Areva, and we built nuclear fuel for different plants and we had to do a small amount of welding on them which meant getting certified. wont do that any more. thats why i dont have any job skills currently because all hte jobs i have had i hated and that was why i went to school so that i wouldnt ever have to do that kind of work again. better to be homeless than to wake up mad everyday that i actually woke up because i hated my jobs so much. as for dignity, well.. we lost that a good while back. at this point, its all about survival really. just trying to make the hours go by, thats why i'm on here. boredom will drive a man to do just about anything.
BSed for the above.
I was about to ask you where you are located as we are always looking for electronic techs, but your attitude showed me that you would not do well with me.
My advice is to get into some sort of housing, pick up broken, scrap electronic lots on eBay, fix them, flip. Buy more with the money instead of blowing it on drugs/alcohol/garbage. If you only have ten bucks, find something you can turn a profit with that ten bucks. In a very short time, you will be able to support yourself and be your own boss. Start your OWN company, then you won't have to worry about hating your boss, job, co-worker, et al.
When I was laid off in 2008, instead of collecting unemployment, I went straight to eBay and did the above. I also bought lots and singled them out. Parted out computers, cellphones, etc to companies that needed the parts... It wasn't long before I was making as much as I was in my previous job. It was HARD, little sleep, my family ate mostly beans, but by golly; I didn't sit on my ass and wait for the gubmint to take care of us. I had a family to feed. You need to get off your butt, stop whining, get a game plan, and execute.
Sorry. No sympathy at all from me.

You said it well. Snazbo, King of the Hobos, won't listen. He's too good to work.

"Hey, do farts have lumps?"

I just can't imagine not being able to find work.
One year I made more than $100K. The company downsized and I believe one should work and I did not want to live on my savings. I delivered coal to houses that use it in an old 60s, three on the tree Chevy pickup, swept a construction company shop and cleaned tools, cleaned a rental for a guy where the first layer of filth required a putty knife to get off.
Was any of that related to my degree? No. Did it help my attitude and health? Yes. Was some of it motivating to spur me to get the work I preferred? You bet.

Snazbo needs a RL BSing. His parents must be horrified to have raised such a wastrel. If he was mine I would regret not drowning him in the tub.

Ladies and gentlemen, please rise for the Snazbo National Anthem:

THE BIG ROCK CANDY MOUNTAINS
One evening as the sun went down
And the jungle fires were burning,
Down the track came a hobo hiking,
And he said, "Boys, I'm not turning
I'm headed for a land that's far away
Besides the crystal fountains
So come with me, we'll go and see
The Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
There's a land that's fair and bright,
Where the handouts grow on bushes
And you sleep out every night.
Where the boxcars all are empty
And the sun shines every day
And the birds and the bees
And the cigarette trees
The lemonade springs
Where the bluebird sings
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
All the cops have wooden legs
And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth
And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs
The farmers' trees are full of fruit
And the barns are full of hay
Oh I'm bound to go
Where there ain't no snow
Where the rain don't fall
The winds don't blow
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
You never change your socks
And the little streams of alcohol
Come trickling down the rocks
The brakemen have to tip their hats
And the railway bulls are blind
There's a lake of stew
And of whiskey too
You can paddle all around it
In a big canoe
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,
The jails are made of tin.
And you can walk right out again,
As soon as you are in.
There ain't no short-handled shovels,
No axes, saws nor picks,
I'm bound to stay
Where you sleep all day,
Where they hung the jerk
That invented work
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.
....
I'll see you all this coming fall
In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

Morning folks!! its another great day, although colder than yesterday. the wind isnt blowing as much though which is good because it was coldddd last nite. i wanna say first.. KUDO's to PURPLE SAGE. that person was the FIRST to actually give an idea of what to do. THATS the kind of answers i was looking for to begin with. in other news, its still winter, cold, and this library sure does seem to like it warm in here, not that i'm complaining. i have found that around 4-5 in the morning is when the cold gets to me. after that, it only gets better each day knowing i'm not doing shit work like some commenters have said they had to do. as to having a family, i dont have a family to worry about, thank goodness. i gave that up when i decided to quit my first job i had after getting out of the military. i quit that God awful job, the worst job i have ever had and i sold my house, all my cars and bike, got rid of the other half and have NEVER looked back.
you should always learn from an experience.... i learned to take care of me, number one, myself and not get bogged down in crap like buying a house with a 30 yr mortgage when you know you wont have a job for no 30 yrs. being homeless and without a crappy job and always thinking about how much you hated he last few jobs you had = better than working a job you hate, coworkers you hate, having to worry about bills all the time, and not doing a job that matters. manufacturing jobs = do NOT matter. NOONE ever got rich running a machine for 8 hrs that went da duk, da duk, da duk. so keep on keeping on you establishment republicans, wasting your lives on never getting anywhere that matters in life. i'll keep on sitting here at the library, enjoying life.
i do have to ask however.. how much DO you people hate life?? i'm sure its quite a bit. i know if i had to put up with the crap you people do, i would be REALLLLLLYYYYY angry all the time.

So you've decided to "check out" of life and your proud of yourself for that?
You sound like someone who has some serious problems that can't be addressed on a board like this.
-
I suppose that when you misrepresent yourself with your very first opening question, then you shouldn't accuse others of misinterpreting the meaning and motivation of your question.
Had you said "How do you feel about people who are more than qualified to work, but because they don't want to *gasp* work hard, CHOOSE to be homeless and live off other people's sweat until they can find themselves some cushy cubicle job where they can just sit on their ass all day and collect their paycheckâ€, you would have saved us all a great deal of time and trouble, and I’m sure our responses would have been more germaine to your actual situation. You would have shown yourself, from the beginning, as the leach and POS that you truly are.
As far as any political party is involved with controlling what I do, well, congratulations on your Socialist Demigod Obama, because it seems the harder I work, the more he steals out of my pocket to help fund your lazy, irresponsible, blame everybody but yourself, shitty attitude self.
And you claim to be a conservative. No, scooter, you are no conservative. And no "establishment Republican" tells me what to do. My morals tell me what to do. My values tell me what to do. My family obligations tell me what to do. Needing to put a roof over my family’s head and food in my children's mouths tells me what to do. Those are conservative values. Not expecting anything more than the hard work I put into something, that is a conservative value. Self sufficiency is a conservative value. Self-preservation is a conservative value. Helping someone get a leg-up when they are going through a rough time is definitely a conservative value, as you have seen in the first page of this thread, even.
But when that someone CHOOSES to be in the Helpless Class, as I like to call it, someone much like yourself as you have later detailed, then my sympathy for you ends, and you can FOAD.
Is that clear enough for you?
For this and a million other reasons is why I love ya, babe. :2ndbase: :bow:

I actually wasted a minute of my life to read this drivel.
I have but one question for ya: Why don't you figure out what you want to do instead of having us tell you? That way, when it's not to your liking, you have nobody to blame but that guy staring back at you in the mirror in the morning.
You, good sir, want someone to blame for your lot in life. Newsflash--you won't find them here.
-
I call bullshit on you ever having a house, a car (let alone MORE than one), a bike, etc, etc. Lies and more lies.
And I'm guessing your better half was infinitely more relieved to be rid of your sorry ass than you ever possibly could have been. At least now she may have a chance to have a decent and fulfilling life. Not to mention the sigh of relief I gave learning you have never procreated.
And Sparky, my love, he HAS told us what he wants to do. He's doing it. Nothing. He's chosen the homeless lifestyle because someone didn't offer him a $50K job for sitting on his poophole all day.
Snazhole, you really find joy sitting at a library all day? That's really, really sad.
I, myself, enjoy going home every day to the loving arms of Sparky and our two wonderful children, comfortable as a bug in a rug in a nice heated home, knowing that the hard work I do every day is helping to provide for our needs, as well as our wants.
But hey, keep finding excuses to be the lazy leech you are, if that is what helps you sleep at night.

You've obviously read a DU synopsis of Atlas Shrugged that was taken out of context and are trying to poke fun at us with your version of going Galt. If you had actually read the book for yourself, you'd be embarrassed at what you wrote here. Your silly attempt at Libertarianism to poke fun at Conservatives missed the mark by a mile.
Go back to DU, Looter.

Has anyone else noticed how snazuolo builds his posts from bits of information from previous responses?
Speaking of "Atlas Shrugged", the third and final movie segment has been wrapped. It'll be out this summer; I've already pre-ordered it so now it's...

No you didn't, you ****ing leech. You were bitching about the food stamps running out in 3 months - while you were posting from the library.
Food stamps = taxpayers providing for your basic needs.
Using the internet at the library = taxpayers providing for your entertainment.
The taxpayers providing for your basic needs and entertainment =/= "taking care of me".

It's funny in a very sad way how in snazzy's last hairball he mentioned hate on average once a sentence. Then he accuses us of hate. I guess a lib like snazzy has never heard of projection. He has perfected the condition.

I don't "feel bad", Snazbo. I feel nothing for you but the contempt you have earned. You are a glob of shit on the heel of my boot, and I don't "feel bad" about scraping you off.
But you throw that word "free" around pretty freely. Free money, free food, free internet, free dental, free this and free that.
There is no "free money", cock goblin. Taxpayers paid for it.
No "free food stamps". Taxpayers paid for it.
No "free internet at the library". Taxpayers paid for it.
No "free dental clinic". Taxpayers or charity paid for it.
It's all paid for by someone else, and you haven't expressed a single word of gratitude for the people who are paying your way through life.
Ungrateful little ****er.
And my income doesn't depend on liberals, DUmbass. If my employer closed its doors tomorrow, I could live comfortably working for myself, and find another employer who wants my skills and experience in no time at all. That's what happens when a man likes to work, has a good reputation and good references, doesn't get a worthless degree like a BA in Public Relations- and isn't world-renowned as a ****ing leech.

^Great expose, but it will all go right over snazzy's head. In addition, he likes it when the attention is on him. We were hitting a home run when we were laying down bacon, beer, boobies, pies and something completely different.

Walk bowlegged back to his cell.
Stare listlessly through the bars until the guards unlock the door.
Go down to the mess hall for lunch. eat whatever they serve.
Go to the prison library to check if his posting privileges have been restored.
Troll CC, say how great it is to not have to work.
Go to the yard, get beat up.
Go back to his cell.
Stare listlessly through the bars until the guards unlock the door for dinner
Yep, he's living the high life alright.

lolol so let me get this straight.. i'm at the library, and thats bad because a library is only for leeches now?? lmao whats REALLY going on here.. you're just mad that i'm not working. tell you what...i'll be ok with no food stamps when you dont get anymore in social security and medicare than what you put into it. hows that sound?? you ppl alll talk about how bad free money is for young folk, but old folks free money AKA social security and medicare is fine?? THIS is why you and your kind are NOT the answer to fixing America. you're all ****ing leeches for getting your social security and medicare each month. you get FARRRR more in return from those entitlements than you put into them yet its ok?? **** you hypocritical bitches. i hope a liberal causes you all to lose your jobs and you have to go on food stamps and live in shelter with smelly immigrants who dont shower and have MRSA. meanwhile, i'm going tomorrow to a FREE dental clinic where they give cleanings and extractions and fillings...lol hows that make you feel?? i hope even worse.
(edit: Bolded emphasis mine.)
**** you. Just. ****. You. I'm not yet 50. Here's a little CNN (by no means conservative, and a fan of all things nanny state) describing how the AVERAGE couple now pays more into the system than they'll ever get back:
http://money.cnn.com/2013/04/14/news/economy/social-security-benefits/
As I've said before, my income is not "average", meaning I pay in far more in taxes, both federal and SS/Medicare. And even though the CNN article says people today are getting more in Medicare benefits than they pay in, try finding a doctor today that'll take it. And it's going to get MUCH worse.
Put it another way--I'm maxxing out on SS contribution. I work until age 65 and I get a whopping $2267/month. Until 70, I get $3385/month. Sounds good, right? Not when you consider that's a small fraction of my current income, and that this dollar figure is in 2031 dollars, not 2014 dollars. What do you think that is going to buy in 20 years? Beer and gas? Maybe?
Another consideration--SS handicaps those who don't live long, which is why it's an even WORSE deal for minorities, who tend to have lower life expectancies, and hence lower (or negative) rates of return.
So take your, "I got mine" attitude and jam it up your ass. This country loses 1000 of you, nobody will give a shit. Lose a few of me, and you're in a world of hurt. That's a concept you and the rest of the loopy left have yet to realize.

Awwww, where did the little looter go? Looks like it is afraid of bacon, beer, and boobies.

Amen, brother. This flea seems to have forgotten it needs us a butt-ton more for its "free" shit more than we need it.

lol you ppl sure do get upset over paying someone 189 a month for EBT card. thats good though... i wonder how you feel about military folk getting their free ebt card though? if you dont hate that, then its apparent you only hate ppl who dont work and that shows that you hate your life and wish you had a life like the rest of us that dont think about work 24/7.

You are a ridiculous clown. Go away and stop bothering us with your trivialities, you incompetent fool.

Oh, look, everyone! The looter has equated his loser, moocher self to those who stand the line in his place! Bless it's retard heart!

Not contributing to the betterment of society, of others on this planet, would be loathsome. I think about what I can do for others 24/7, as do the people that I admire and enjoy. Not all of them "work" (contribute something) for a wage. But all think beyond themselves.
Merely doing something for what it will get you does not count. Putting your intellect and energy into getting something for nothing is inexcusable.

and THIS^^^^ is whats wrong with America. NOONE is here to contribute to the betterment of ANYONE else. if you believe that horseshit, i got a base on mars to sell you. we are ALL HERE to take care of ourselves. we are all responsible for ourselves and outcomes. i have NEVER wanted to contribute to anyone else. either make it however you can, or go to another place to rot and die. you ppl are actually touting the liberal line when you say we are a society and here for the betterment of it. we are NOTHING but individuals trying to make our way through life with as little interferement as possible. thanks for being the one to show whats wrong with America longview. you were the first to admit the problem. kudo's for having the spine to show us how NOT to live.

Bunk! You self-pitying pile of dung.
Many, many people live their lives in a manner to contribute positively. Some may spout verbiage about helping their fellow, but like YOU, they only do something for self gain. Can't see past their own narcissistic noses.
Many, even most, regardless of political affiliation, live in ways that allow them to be responsible for themselves, to reduce the burden of their existence on others, and to help all within their circle of influence.
-

Mooching off taxpayers is not being responsible for yourself. ****ing moocher.
i have NEVER wanted to contribute to anyone else.
Yet you expect all of us to contribute to you, while you make no effort to support yourself. ****ing moocher.
-
self pity has nothing to do with this longview. its about REALITY. i have found most Americans use such things as HOPE and DENIAL to help them make it through the day because without them, they wouldnt make it. i understand that things are NOT as they used to be nor will they ever be again. ppl always talk about SHTF scenario's and how to deal with them, yet our communist govt has already thrown the shit against the fans to see what happens... nothing did and now they know they can do whatever they want. thats reality!!

way i figure it little dog, i paid taxes from 88 - 08. the 189 i get a month is merely my return. its just like you and your SSI/medicare. but then again, you're still just mad that i'm not working and hating life like you are right now.

I recommend a change of playmates and playgrounds if this is your world view.

I truly doubt you could keep up with the amount and level of enjoyment I get from life. Living life! :yahoo:

Mad? Hating life? Not at all, snazbo. Life is good when you're the Big Dog. I'm lighting $20 cigars with $20 bills, and blowing the smoke in your moocher face.
But I told the last panhandler I saw to go **** himself, then told him to thank Snazoula for it. Word travels fast in the hobo community, so you better watch your ass at the homeless shelter. You''ll be seeing the Big Rock Candy Mountain before you expect to.

You stopped making sense about 4 drinks ago. Better knock off the Mad Dog 20/20, window licker.
One difference between us: if I want something, I buy it. If you want something, you suck dick behind a Dumpster at the plasma center for $5. If you want a $20 cigar, you have to suck 4 dicks.

I have a question.
Why do you bother to take your next breath.
I mean look at you, you have nothing. No future for you or your genetic line, everything you have, or ever will have is going to have to be handed to you by the state.
All you can manage is mocking people that are working to make something of themselves and leave some sort legacy. But not you though, you've got nothing and never will.
So why, exactly, do you insist on breathing. Is your goal in life to be a pox on society, to punish the human race for some yet unperceived wrong. Do you get up in the morning looking forward to your daily trip to the library so that you can have some connection with the outside world.
Is that what motivates you, is there anything else in your life, anything, that captures your imagination beyond pissing on people that are making their own way through life without having to rely on others in order to make poop.
You are a ghost...or rather, you are a poltergeist, that for whatever reason insists on not going into the light and likes to throw things at the living.
I think you are dead but you just haven't managed to figure it out yet.

wow, i was right about you ppl. eagle, you are under the assumption that i have never worked nor will i ever again. and both of those assumptions are wrong. will i ever get back on my feet?? of course. this is NOT the first time i have gone through this, but it wont be the last either. thats the thing...first time i was homeless was back in 95, only for about a week, but i found something and got out of living in my car. so.. to answer your somewhat honest question, i'm not dead, and i WILL get back on my feet. question is.. how long will i be able to stay on my feet? usual instance is about 2.5- 3 yrs. problem now is.. i NEVER used to have a problem finding a job.. and now there jsut arent any jobs that i'm willing to take. does that mean i may be on the streets longer?? sure.. but i'm ok with that. it is LITERALLY better to be homeless than to work at a place like walmart or mcdonalds. even if i was to get a job at one of those places, it wouldnt last 1 day i imagine.

You didn't answer my question.
Why do you insist on taking your next breath ?

Why do you insist on taking your next breath ?
i did answer your question but apparently it wasnt to your liking. i take my next breath because soon i will be back working at a job that will be consistently better than what most on here work at. anddd i will continue the trend i have had for so many years now. plus, i wanna be around long enough to see all the hypocrites lose their jobs and go wahh wahhhh i want my food stamps too. hint.. most of the ppl on this forum are those hypocrites.

So, how long have you been out of work?
-
i wonder how you feel about military folk getting their free ebt card though? if you dont hate that, then its apparent you only hate ppl who dont work and that shows that you hate your life and wish you had a life like the rest of us that dont think about work 24/7.
Good thing you got the ban hammer, cause then I'd really have to unload on you for that statement.
Sincerely,
A veteran.

The only trend you're going to continue is that of being a whiny mooch and a drain on society.
I say that as someone who has been out of work a grand total of three WEEKS since the age of 16.

Snazzy must never heard of charity, or charitable organizations. He must have never heard of non profits, not for profits, and charitable institutions. He must have never heard of Children's hospital, MD, Easter Seals, the list goes on. But when you are a narcissist, your view and and perception are limited drastically.
