Maybe if you weren't so lazy and stupid you would be able to see your kids. Should we take from others to give to you? You are paid what you are worth, and you will work as much as you are told to. Stop complaining about your situation. You made the choices that put you there.
This has been one of the most disgusting posts I have ever seen on ATS. you should be ashamed of yourself! Did you even read his post?
I am still holding out hope that it was sarcasm and I just missed it.
The Man clearly stated that he is a hard worker. Nothing in his post indicated that he was lazy, just the opposite.
Everyone works hard. Even the 8 dollar an hour factory workers work hard. Of course, it was sarcasm.
What I posted to him was a way of conveying a message. That is the mentality that is being pushed on the working class by the ruling class. Any time you hear someone talk like that to ANYONE, they are full of it. I don't care if they are talking to Mcdonald's worker like that. It is truly how many people think, though, especially Republicans. By preaching about "personal responsibility," twisting up the Bible to make it appear to say the opposite of what it says, and manipulating the perceptions of working class people who care about family - they have effectively subverted the free will of the working class and made us all fight over the crumbs that fall off the table of the ruling class. Don't get me wrong, I don't like Democrats either, but Republicans tend to be the worst.edit on 25-2-2014 by FreeWillAnomaly because: (no reason given)

I just sent you a pm , but feel I must say it here , looks like you have kick your butt Saturn , well under control through hard work and assuming your responsibilities good on ya. You must have reaped some rewards for that .1%
Everything I've earned, everything I've done has been through hard work. Nothing has ever been "given" to me. I'd be shocked if someone did. (and I wouldn't trust them either)
Turning 51 this year. Still think I have plenty left. Going to start treating myself to all those years when I couldn't. Simple things. Fishing with my sons. Spending time with the wife.
And always a good single malt.

I have yet to read much (except for a very few) about personal responsibility.
It's easy to play the victim. It's socially acceptable now.
I moved to get the job I wanted. And when that fell through? I moved again!
It's easy and acceptable to blame others for your misfortunes. What is hard is making a living in this day and age. But people still do it.
I guess I missed the part where it was supposed to be easy. (Still waiting for my trophy)

Awww, I'm so sorry it's hard for you and that you want it easy.
Work is hard (frowny face)
Life is hard ( double frowny face)
No amount of petty whining from the entitled is going to get me to change my position.
Do you want your trophy now?

Play the victim. Place blame. Point fingers.
Or
Suck it up and move on with your life. Do what needs to be done. Or just wait for someone to give it to you. Or get angry and justify taking it from someone who has more.
This "divide" between those who have and those who have less is getting nauseating. Getting angry at those who have more won't put more in your pocket.
Working hard might.

Can you point out where I said that hard working people were lazy?
Source please.
I said, personal responsibility, rather than entitlement thinking will get you farther.

I'm waiting for you to wake up.
You, again, have yet to address ANY issues. Just more 1 cent replies. You afraid to actually delve into issue? Is your understanding of it too superficial to actually think past the surface?
Do you not understand that "all created equal" doesn't actually mean we all face identical issues? Have you ever thought it was possible that you have it easier than you preach, that other people in worse situations worked harder than you, but still didn't make it? Have you EVER thought that? Or do you instantly just remember "I have more money, I must have worked harder"edit on 25-2-2014 by James1982 because: (no reason given)

You've gone on and on espousing how you have triumphed (over what exactly?) and succeeded based on nothing but your own hard work and determination.
What is the point of posting it? The point is to imply people who are poor, people who complain about the actions of the wealthy are just lazy. Am I wrong? If so, what is the point in your posts then? Are you not claiming that poor people and those that complain about the actions of the wealthy are just people adverse to hard work? If not, again what are you trying to say with your posts?
LUXUS
How has the world become like this that the majority of people would prefer to see others doing bad then good, that those who chose to work hard are hated by those who chose to sit on their ass. Is it not a show of bad character? and if the majority of people feel this way is it not proof of social decline.

I explained it quite well.
People find it easier to blame, to point fingers, to play the victim than to take personal responsibility for their actions and situations and work hard to remove themselves from said situations.
