monkeydelarge: What?!? Emob78 hates poor and gay people? How can this be?!?!
Emob78: I said I've known some poor gay people. They were gross, perverted losers who did things I'd rather not repeat here. Simple statement of fact.
Why so serious? Do poor people or gay people get a free pass in life just because of their lifestyle or economic condition? Think about that for a minute, then you'll know the answer, and then you'll also know why I make comments like that. It doesn't have anything to do with homophobia or class warfare.
You didn't make it clear, what kind of people they are. You just said "Not pleasant company."
F4LL0UT: Even oh-so productive and disciplined Germany has or at least had big problems with Germans preferring to live on welfare over getting a job.
viperfdl: Why work one's balls off in a low wage job if one still can't earn enough to live and so also gets welfare money? Just to feel superior over those who don't work at all? The common canon is instead that the "lazy" unemployed sponge the welfare system.
Personally I can understand that some people don't want to be wage slaves.
Most people who get "welfare" in this world also work because most(if not all) welfare programs make you work unless you have some kind of disability or other barrier to employment. And jobs for people who are unskilled and inexperienced pay peanuts so such people will also seek assistance just to survive. This whole everyone on welfare is getting a free ride thing is a myth perpetuated by people who would rather see their tax money go to more "conservative things" like killing innocent people in other countries(aka war) or would rather see taxes lowered. And like you said, if you have a healthy self esteem, it's hard to submit to a job that treats you like a slave. So it really doesn't make someone "lazy" or "evil" or whatever for trying to get a free ride in a country with no decent jobs available for him or her because that is just a slave trying to escape the plantation.
