Why You Are Jobless!

I really love this post.

You know, no matter how motivated you are, sometimes you need to see stuff like this to get back on track. Thanks man!

As right as you may think you are, life isn't just this or that k?

I am not ashamed to admit I collect foodstamps, if I did not, I would starve right now.

Its really none of your business why I am in this situation, just know it is not by choice,
its called survival, and thank God our Gov gives us this, some people actually NEED it.

In all respect though, your pic is the wrong approach to what working actually means.
IMO and in my experiences, those that hold up signs like that, are not desperate for work,
they are actually begging for handouts.

Btw Steel, don't you think he might be talking about outsourcing rjob. I had read Tim Ferris's novel, "4 hrs work week", wherein he talked about making others work for you and making money from them. What's your take on that?

First thanks for your valued comments much appreciated

Making others work for you precisely that is one great way... but that does not of course then mean you have penis power and allow you to stand posing for the other 39 hours with your dick hung out like a redundant porn star!

I hate to say but this world of today is a very tough - harsh unforgiving environment - hence I believe you have to make as much money while you can! I may be wrong and a boom economy may be on the horizon! But I will be damned if I am going to sit back doing f**k all on the off chance that I can wait and make more money later - F**k That!

Thanks for the post. I am not going to respond to the points in your post in so much as you pointed out it is none of anyone's business.

But I sense I hope incorrectly that you are not only in a hardship position but I get a feel from your words that you are also very worried.

Hence all I can say is harsh as this may sound when the going gets tough the tough get going! So I genuinely hope you can tough it out because if you have reached the bottom you have nearly made it as the only direction left is up!

Good Luck and I hope your situation changes very quickly for the better!

You would not starve if you did not collect foodstamps. You'd figure something out in order to stay alive, like humankind has since the dawn of man.

Here's a solution: a pound of whole grain rice is less than $1 at Walmart and will feed a person for at least a day. Go to iWriter and make $30 each month and you won't need foodstamps anymore. Problem solved. No excuses. No starvation necessary. Half of the world's population lives off this diet and they are not starving.

I sense you totally missed my main objective in replying to your opening post.
So i will be blunt this time.
Not everyone in this world can work a regular job, which is why there is gov assistance.
get it now?
and about your photo
It is a complete contradiction to your whole work theory.
Infact, everything about your post is flawed logic,
Your like the blind leading the blind, in a sense.

When people post here asking for help in making money, they are doing EXACTLY what the guy in your pic is doing.
Rather then figuring out how to make money HIMSELF he is asking for help, the same as those that post help me threads.
The pic guy is not going into a company and figuring how to get the job, he is being lazy and expecting work to find him.
In theory, he is much more worthless then those who ask for help here.
Get it now?

Are out of your mind?
Seriously, I am struggling on how to reply to you so that you truly understand without causing hurt feelings.
But I have to be blunt, after all you had no issue posting the nonsense you posted.

Why do not you use your own empty logic and quit your job, walk around for about an hour once a week collecting soda cans, and you live off rice.
This way, you have all that extra time to invest more into telling everyone else how to live and what to eat.

Furthermore, if its any of your concern where my food stamps go, I also share them with other homeless or needy people that happen in the truckstop I stay at.
I live in an area where jobs are hard to come by, given my health issues I am pretty much SOL at this point in time but I still manage to survive and help others less fortunate then myself, rather then tell them to go live off rice.

Please do not take this personally, but you honestly have zero clue about life in general and at most, you appear to try to be Mr save the day and do not even begin to even listen to your own words.

Lastly, if forsay there were no help given to people in my situation, this country would be at war with each other.
I guess you do not know or see those that rely on extra help from the gov.
I personally know families that both parents work full time jobs, and still qualify for assistance, as minimum wage jobs minus gas prices etc, does not leave much left.
Perhaps they should get off welfare and live on rice too?

I am done and please do not even bother to try to explain yourself, you have said quite enough.

And no, I am not mad nor give a damn about you and wont even remember this tomorrow, and probably will even forget your screen name and will go on with my life.
Lets hope you can learn from this thread instead of pretending you know a thing about what it is like to struggle to survive.

I bet you couldnt even skin a rabbit let alone even catch one to keep from going hungry, live off rice, lmfao


PS
I am only stating the obvious in this thread, as it appears some people have no idea what its like to struggle from day to day,
and worry about things that they shouldn't have to and didn't ask for that other people obviously take for granite in life.

In the future, please don't try to walk in a mans shoes unless you have been down that road already.

I am one of those people who can't work a regular job. My reasons are probably different than yours but no less valid or real.

Instead of taking from others I did figure out a way to make my own way.

Saying I don't know poor people or have never been in a tough situation financially is so ignorant. You have no idea what I've been through to get where I am. But I know a lot about you when you say you're not ashamed to take foodstamps. You should be. That's the problem with the country today. People aren't ashamed of laziness and failure.

Why are you twisting my words in order to appear to be smarter then me?

And please dont try to compare your life to mine, this isn't a debate on who has it tougher.

Please either try to have a sensible debate or dont even post, I have learned long ago how to handle flame baiters on the web.
Nothing you say is even worth debating.

Forget about your life and mine, tell me how the pic of that comic is even relevant to this thread?
Its a complete contradiction.

edit
How about you stop generalizing people as a whole?
Thanks
edit
Frankly, I am done here.
My whole point was taken completly out of context, and now its being twisted and this isnt even worth my time anymore.
I have much better things to be worried about then trying to reason with closed minded know it alls who put words into peoples mouths in order to justify their opinions rather then admit they were wrong.

I used to love to debate on matters like this but have realised from this thread that you cant debate ignorance.

I appolige if anything i said was taken as to be offensive, it was not my intention.

I guess we should kill you then, I checked your profile, I counted at least 10 threads you started, begging for something free,over and over, before I stopped counting.:bryce:

Yah i couldnt help it, he had dumbfk written all over his post.


I figured out how to get a job

So, this is what happends when a bunch of idiots get into the same thread...

wow where is the admin on this one. i get reported for nothing but these guys can say all of this stuff. this forum is crazy

That's actually a pretty good idea to push yourself, I was thinking about not eating until reach money for that, because you get lazy when you have a roof + food.

Ever since I changed careers to I.T in 2008, I have been largely independant on government welfare to get by; however, I AM NOT LAZY! Why? Because For the last 4 or so years I have worked relentlessly towards completing my degree and picking up any work that relates to my degree, and having MANY late night up studying and doing my assignments while my young family sleep.

I wish more than anything I didn't have to rely on the government to survive while studying, but fact is only the rich elite can afford to pay for education without student loans etc, and the only way for the "middle class" like myself is to, of course, ask for student loans and living expenses from the government while we aim to create a future on our industry.

Thank God I am only 1 year away from graduating, and 1 year from realizing a goal I set myself 4 years ago. Once I graduate, I'll be doing my best to not rely on the government for any reason - they have too much control and they constantly abuse their rights to power and very rarely suffer any consequences for it. People "living off" the government aren't necessarily lazy - there are the ones like myself who are using the government "handouts" to build a better future through education, and then there are the ones that decide to do drugs and sit on their arses while becoming a burden to society. Ten years ago, I was one of the people that didn't want to work, but after I went on Outward Bound, it changed my mindset completely, and I believe working in a job you enjoy will only enhance your life and bring you more opportunities.

Also, yesterday I landed by first "real world" S.E.O client . The others missed out because, in his words, they were lazy and turned up late, while I was there 20 minutes early. I had a good discussion with him about White Hat S.E.O, social signals, and backlinks, and also discussed the importance of having a site that is designed with responsive web development in mind. It turns out I got more work for myself just be being enthusiastic about what I love doing, and I scored another project from him after this one completes. Like any job, it pays to be punctual and enthusiastic .

For those of you who choose to do drugs and not get up off your rear end, your life will only get worse - and you will never achieve your dreams (this doesn't include selling drugs etc to make the money, which would make that "possible").

For those of you who are in my situation, I applaud you . There is nothing better than achieving the goals you work so hard to achieve, while at the same time using the skills learned to contribute your part to society. This is why I have a ratio of 4 posts to 5 days (0.8 posts per day) being on BHW - during term time I don't get to come on here as much as I'd like to (as I am always studying and doing assignments etc), but I enjoy being on here when my head isn't so stacked up with work etc.

Lastly, try and venture into that world they call the outdoors - I know it is hard for some of us who love doing S.E.O and I.T related things, but it's good to get out every now and then to get fresh air. There's this place I go to and it always reminds me of being in Canada everytime I go there. As passionate as we are about what we love doing, it is always good to take breaks and recharge ourselves - it will keep us fresh and enthusiastic .

No offense, but this comment really offends me. There are people out there that have become disabled because they were severely beaten up by deadbeat thugs who don't have any legitimate means of making money. There are also the people that put their lives on the line for people like you and get severely injured for doing it, and cannot work in some capacity or another. Eventually, when the U.S has another terrorist attack (or wherever you're from), you could have both your legs blown off and have limited use of both your arms - I guarantee that you will either then depend on some kind of assistance, or die.

What you need is a firm reality check. To me you sound like Hitler (and maybe Stalin or Pol Pot) - they killed millions of people because of some pathetic reasoning. If it hadn't been for the English, I wouldn't be sitting here today. Your arrogant comments won't make you more powerful, and won't make me shiver in my feet.

Your insolent remarks are useless for someone who is conspicuously bound to live an otiose lifestyle. I can construe that you seem to be an irascible man when an arrant fool opens their mouth.

How about you all just work for me and we'll all be happy?

Parasites, dependent for their survival upon the efforts of the Producer Class, can imagine all manner of offenses in order to redirect attention away from the fact that they contribute nothing, and never will. And, from their position of weakness and dependency, they presume to demand rights, entitlements and privilege. And yet they live only by virtue of my compassion.

They presume to make that compassion compulsory. My point is that it is not, and never can be. They depend upon my resources to enforce their will, and occasionally need to feel the lash of my neglect. What they propose is a moral justification for my enslavement to them. It is only natural that one might react with thoughts of violence at this suggestion.

Hear how they wail in agony, just in anticipation of it. A cacophony of adult infants, plaintively demanding that the government teat be thrust into their gaping maw. And look at how greedily they suck upon it, while simultaneously posing as self-aware adults who are deserving of respect and consideration, and how they bitterly complain when one honestly treats them for exactly who and what they are.

I have 17 trillion reasons to believe the way I do, and other Producers understand exactly what I mean, and they are not offended. My comments are "aimed", and they are deliberate. If they offend someone in particular, it is only because they self-identify themselves as having been accurately described.

In my case, the above is completely and utterly NOT accurate. While the depth of your reply is something even myself admires, this DOES NOT "ACCURATELY" describe who I am. I've been through hell and back - with depression, being made redundant, being forced to live how other people tell me to, but did I just lie down on the ground and let them walk all over me... I answer an emphatic NO! If I didn't stand up on my two feet, I'd be dead - instead I created a plan to get myself out of that dark place I was in, and to a large extent I have been very successful. I am now close to graduating with a degree in I.T, I have consistently maintained a B+ average for four years, I have a young family, I've rebuilt my credit rating, I've landed good S.E.O clients,... So while I admire your depth, your statement is 100% INACCURATE, and if you keep making inaccurate claims like this, it will get you in trouble.
