Here, here!!!


I have no fancy degree myself, but have been blessed with what I call (& this takes no genius) GOOD WORK ETHICS, AND A DESIRE TO EARN MY WAY IN THIS WORLD AS LONG AS I AM ABLE MINDED AND BODIED!


It is sad that there are those who take advantage of the system that is in place to help those who truly do need it.

One BIG PLUS +++ (is that these loafers) make more jobs available for us that do not mind working, and want to;)

Jfain we have got to remember to look at the whole puzzle and see the good with the bad!!!;) I truly believe good things can come from things that are intended for bad.

I've said it before and I'll say it again- my biggest pet peeve in this world is "something for nothing" people!

There are those who truly need aid (maybe even for life)- and those who use it as something to fall back on when in rare, quick desperate times- and that's fine.

But there are those with great potential who use it as a permanent lifestyle option to enable them to continue on forever with low achievment habits- and those are the ones I have a severe beef with.

I didn't used to think this way- I used to be a soft, lovable, live-and-let-live, we should all band together to help all the down-trodden type of dude... know what changed all that? All of a sudden I looked up and realized that I had worked since age TEN. And that since high school graduation I had ALWAYS worked either two full-time jobs, or one 80 hour per week job. And at that time I just decided- Khrist almighty- if I can work 80 hours every week, then someone else can AT LEAST work their fair 35-40!

Call me judgemental, but I can't and WON'T abide slotheness in anyone.

You said it friend! As long as there is a job I'm able to do I will take care of myself. I don't mind if someone has a disability but if you are healthy and able to work you should have to.

I agree with all of you, some interesting points her. I have been working all my life and if you are able to work you should. Cookie :)

Working and staying busy is good for the soul!!! It makes one feel good and like they are accomplishing something worthwhile. If I sat on my fat buttocks all day watching TV and accomplishing nothing more than taking up space and using up oxygen on this planet I would feel worthless and lousy!!! If I had to be jealous and pitch a fit and throw a tantrum because my husband actually enjoyed a meal at someone's house, because I am so sorry I will not lovingly prepare him a home cooked meal, then I would have myself committed!!!
