I'm getting sick to my stomach with this EBT thing, from the 'music video' and now this.
..or attempting to be a salesman on a forum! (no you, but a general point..) Someone, somewhere is always tryin to beat 'the system'.wreckhog said:Whenever there is a system, someone wil abuse it. Whether is is not paying your deductible in a body shop, or your town garbage service taking away an extra can after a party because you gave the guy $ at Christmas, every system gets abused.
That to me is the biggest insult. At one time due to circumstance way beyond my control I needed some short term help. Family was helping out and a friend put me in touch with a food pantry (I wasn't aware) Let me tell you, I wanted to puke at the thought of needing help.Hunter6874 said:I deal with people who abuse the system daily, and every day it makes me sick to see what they get away with.The best part is dealing with them, they expect to be treated like they are Donald trump.
No, did not offend me at all. The thing that offends me is that I was sick to my stomach and thoroughly disgusted w/ myself about needing help even though I was learning to walk again, and these POS act like you should roll out the red carpet and kiss their behinds, and God help you if you say anything.Hunter6874 said:That is not directed at anyone who legitamilty needs help. Stuff happens to even the best people unfortuantly and sometimes you can't avoid getting help. That comment is based on the people who are scamming the system and don't work a day even though they are perfectly capable. I watch this happen all day long, even some of the employess where I am do it. It's a shame. I am sorry if that offened you.
I think that might actually get classified as a mental illness at some point. There are plenty of geniuses out in the criminal world that could have had legitmate lives that were just as lucrative. There was an article about real estate in the New York Times recently. It attracts people that were good at something else, but that something else was not a career. I think that real estate would be a great place for criminals and welfare frauds. How smart is JayZ?

Ummmm.... I hope you are not serious- the reason that RE is a licensed profession is to keep out exactly these types of scammers, although that does not always work and there are lawyers who commit crimes too.wreckhog said:I think that might actually get classified as a mental illness at some point.

Yes it's a mental illness. Everything is a disease or someone else's fault. Or the best; Society's fault.wreckhog said:I think that might actually get classified as a mental illness at some point.

30 years ago, the DSM IV (Psychological bible) classified homosexuality as a mental illness. And after 15 or 20 years, homosexuality entered the mainstream of society. Well, just recently, there was a push to declare pedophilia and beastiality as mental illnesses.Aquabach said:Yes it's a mental illness. Everything is a disease or someone else's fault.

The mental illness is that many people make excuses for a system that rewards laziness, lacks accountability and saddest of all breeds a permanent underclass living off the taxpayers
