WAY OFF TOPIC.........IF YOU ARE TENDER, DONT ENTER!

Is it just me or have some of you noticed how today society is just completely off its rocker! It is almost as if we all turn the other cheek and don't dare touch on sore subjects because you may offend someone. It is like every family has one of everything(I know mine does)....so to keep from putting down our own family, we just allow everyone to continue to defraud the public.

I am sick of feeding other peoples children....I am sick of teachers complaining about how much they make, when they are paid a lot by tax dollars for part time work.....I am sick of people laying at home and collecting unemployment just because it pays better than a job.......food stamps, politicians, section 8, disability.....I could go on and on.

I have had a few people lately ask if they could work for cash so they can continue to milk us all......as you can tell, it touched a nerve!

Thanks for letting me vent.

roofguy...I loved my job & my boys.(12years) I was good at what I did. I caused my own accident. My loss. I can't change the results. My disabilty is brain damage nothing that you or anyone can see physically. I deal with it everyday and have adjusted. Because it is invisible to all it is very forgetable and misunderstood.

Anyway, I got rid of a boyfriend one year ago because he wouldn't get off his ass and even look for a job, started touching into my pocket. OUTA HERE. Lovingly, PC

Chuck, just like 2008 many of us KNEW it was going to happen. I was saying so back in the 90's :blush: I just did not know WHEN it was going to happen.

And like Mr. Stansberry I too can tell you WHAT is going to happen. I am waiting for someone to tell me WHEN it is going to happen

I get heated about these subjects myself. If you can't afford to have kids, try not to. Definitely don't have more! More people need to learn to plant gardens to feed themselves and when your herd of kids gets older, they can do a lot of it.

And on the subject guys being on welfare because they are lazy: I know you all have seen plenty of guys step up on the roof and quit their first day! We had 2 guys start one morning, one of which was a musclebound SOB. He came to me about 9am, saying 'eff this, I'm supposed to be a nurse!' The point is that all of us here know that a lot of dudes won't do a job thats not easy or they can't goof off all day.

Well.... I've been preaching for years that the welfare thing might be well and good if you have one child. It shouldn't be a job where you get more for brat you squirt out.

I want the welfare wagon to stop with the one child. If you have another, the fund stays the same or decreases. And just maybe it should drop 15-20% for each brat after the first one.

Patty, I think "disabled" is often a frame of mind as much as it is a physical state of being. You'll never catch me parking in a handicap zone or with handicap plates. I'm the guy parking way out at the edge of the parking lot at Home Depot, away from the runaway shopping carts. Can I qualify for handicap plates? You bet I can - I'm an above knee amputee, damaged right arm, and blind in 1 eye. Yesterday when the wind was blowing 60 mph here I had a heckuva time getting across the parking lot at Lowes because the wind was stronger than the hydraulic knee unit on my prosthetic leg, which meant that it wanted to stay bent rather than locked out so that I could take a step. This required zig-zagging to provide just enough angle to the wind to let my hydraulic knee work...in high wind this is a little like skiiing on a steep double diamond black slope, and trying to turn back the other direction before the slope has you going 60 mph downhill.

I know a lot of disabilities aren't apparent to be seen, but I'd venture that for every one of those, there are 99 lazy fat arses who use the handicapped zones because it's part of their mentality to leach off of society and do just as little as possible to get by. I'm sick and tired of supporting those people! I'm sick and tired of hearing their goofy excuses as to why they deserve handouts from my pocket (taxes). I don't care if that person worked for 2 years or 50, they don't deserve money from my pocket when I'm busting my butt 96 hours a week to pull my own weight because that's how many hours I now have to work to accomplish the same things I used to be able to get done in a 50 hour work week. If I can do it, they can get off their lazy butts, stop making excuses, and provide for themselves.

This guy is spot on. Read this and if you can listen to his radio show. http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/blog/2010/06/19/dennis-prager-the-greatest-threat-facing-america/ B) :) :) B) Deep Down In Florida Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Every Day

Roofguy Said: Randy,

Its a whole backwards way of thinking. In my way of thinking, kids should be trading baseball cards with Purple Heart recipients on them whore coming home from Iraq with 1 leg, and firemen who storm into a burning building when everyone else is running away, and the cop who responds to a domestic violence call to save someone he doesnt know from someone he also does know. In Tims world, these guys would be getting $10 million signing bonuses, not some doofus whose only skill in life is dunking a basketball, or hitting a homerun.

We have our priorities screwed up.

Tim we've gone way beyond the salaries. We've actually turned our education system into their minor leagues for them. $10 Mil???? A drop in the bucket compared to the hundreds of $bils we are actually throwing away here

Had a fellow complaining at me the other day. The problem he said was the mothers having too many kids they can't afford and I of course agreed. Then I added, it's not just that oil companies w/ their $4 bil per yr. subsidies but almost everyone has their fingers in the pie.

Ultimatley there are fewer and fewer of us carrying the load

Ciak , we did come from the greatest generation. I know too well what my parents sacrificed and the penny counting with me and my siblings for our benefit. All I can do is Thank them. I hope I can do the same. PC

I am one of them on disibility, prior to that I worked since 16, I have put in 40 years and I will not be embarrased nor put down. I didn't ask for this but certainly deserve. With that said...I agree, too many are given too much too easy. PC

That is because the good old United States of America, which was a group of different States, United by a constitution was set up as a Republic, in which the rights of the inhabitants were recognized and the government was limited. Remember: "The Republic for which it stands" in the pledge of allegience?

It is now the U. S. Inc. basically ruling from Washingto DC based on a Democracy which allows the majority to overrule the rest of us and vote themselves largess from the public treasury. In a democracy, that is legal, so get over it and pay. Remember this is the most free country in the world and you should be "happy" to pay taxes to support those that can't or won't work. Hell, we get to pay for people all over the world. What a priviledge! What a country! What a mess! What a farce.

It will continue until those that can and do, quit in disgust. then the whole house of cards will come down and all hell will break loose. It is coming soon to a town near you. Interesting ride we are on.

The country we live in is " upside down" How did this happen in little more than a generation after the Greatest generation. Could be an interesting conversation. B) :) :) B) Deep Down In Florida Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Every Day

Randy,

This has been the new sig line on all my e-mail for a few weeks now: "I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.” -James Madison-

It's politically incorrect, and it likely will cost me a few customers along the way, but I believe that at some point we have to put our foot down and say what needs to be said. I'm through with coddling lefties so that I don't offend their sensibilities. Lefies are ruining this country - they use our tax dollars to buy votes from the perpetual entitlement society of lazy arses. I say cut off their welfare after 6 m onths and let them find work or go hungry.
