  • Whoop-de-fucking doo

    Try living where I do. I have just fought a 5 month battle to get a job and I won it. I am doing 4 hours a week at £6 an hour and I have a wife and 3 kids to feed.

    I am disabled and have only the use of one hand , I have arthiritis and I broke my back and both legs many years ago in an accident and I am NOT disabled enough to get Disability allowance ( It was stopped 13 months ago ). and last year I found out that I have diabetes and next year Im losing my legs.

  • I did a paper route and you have to do at least 2 to 3 paper routes to make even $300 a week. That does not pay the bills.

  • @lxXDobbyXxl haha feel the same

  • I feel bad for having money!

  • capitalism's falling apart

  • I feel guilty for being upper class.

  • Thank the conservatives that do all this cutting for them, cutting school and public funding, lowering the taxes on the rich, increasing ours and killing the cost of living to atronomical numbers. Yes, cut the school funding so that there are no more jobs, and we can control everyone, and label it a "religious" movement of god. Pffftt...we're fucked.

  • i give blood twice a week and make 70 dollars so fuck off people ur just lazy theres always a way to make money u just have to get out and stop sittin on ur ass watchin tv
