Do you believe Americans who work full time should earn a living wage?

[SirGreenThumb]

Congratulations!!!

Hard work is very much worthwhile.
The exhilarating buzz provided by that sense of accomplishment is worth every molecule of sweat exerted!
Good Job!

Thank you!

You are right, this cloud I'm on is amazing.

If everyone knew the sense of accomplishment they would have if they just tried, I believe would make people want to be better than they think they can be.

I think everyone needs some sort of push. Whether it be loss, love, needing a change or anything. The amount of triggers for different people is endless, but you can never get there without a goal.

I guess I just feel like I'm better than mediocre.

Good post!

I would simply like to know what ever happened to boot straps?
Every human being is provided with a set.

They are very much worth pulling oneself up with.
It works 98.5% of the time. Even in the current USA!!! Remarkable!
It is simply about gumption or the lack thereof.

Relying upon the Government to pull on your bootstraps for you reflects a dire deficiency of gumption.
This is fixable.
As Nike said...JUST DO IT!
So simple.

yep, it's all about 100 million americans being lazy rather than a small percentage at the top being greedy.

you guys have it all figured out.

when will i be as smart as you are? how many hours/days of fox news will it require?

You did something and made something with yourself.

Don't listen to your detractors, most of them are praying for a min wage increase.

did you ever return all that stuff you stole from people and apologize to them for making them feel unsafe in their own homes?

that's what a man would have done.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

he forgot to mention the part where he robbed people for their hard earned possessions.

@BDOGKush

He is right, I had a past where gang banging and thievery was easier than working at a job....wait... I wasn't old enough to be employed at that given time so, yea. I also used the money I stole to help take care of my family when we didn't have any food to eat.

Pretty cool huh?

yeah, but did you ever return all the stuff you stole, apologize to the families you stole from, and restitute them for damages like pain and suffering?

you have a debt to society, and like a childish little douche, you refuse to pay it.

man up and take responsibility for your actions, and the consequences of them.

Have you apologized to all the people that you have falsely accused of being racist? Have you stopped stalking and following people around the forum (no you haven't). Have you apologized to all the southerners that you claim you sold the weed that you dried in a room filled with cat piss and shit that thereby made all your weed germ infested? Nope.

You have no room to judge me on what I did as a child or young teen. I've helped far more people than I've hurt and I go out of my way to help people. I even contribute to the homeless shelter.

How about you?

I've had that worthless troll on ignore for weeks now. He never has anything to add to a conversation and runs around the forum spamming his broken record nonsense.

 

[sheskunk]

yeah right

http://www.ncsl.org/research/labor-and-employment/state-minimum-wage-chart.aspx

CA minimum wage is 9.

I could go on, but you lost a long time ago.

 

[SirGreenThumb]

Indeed I did.

I would like to think without all the detractors these individuals wanting more money would work for it instead of standing on the side lines demanding it. But then again I try to think the best of people and feel that most would really like to put forth the effort if they got the push they needed.

As it stands, given in to people wanting more money for jobs that are meant to teach you responsibility and your worth isn't helping them and as time progresses and inflation continues. Even if they were given a raise it would be a moot point in a couple of years and these people would still be doing the same work without even attempting to move up for more money and we will be back at stage one.

I think its sad that a political platform is used to convince people that they are too stupid to succeed, so instead they demand things from those who do.

In this day and age everyone can have a piece of the pie, all you have to do is grab the knife.

He is, in my humble estimation a profane, immature sociopath, although I would prefer not to have to put anyone on ignore, I had no alternative because name calling has no place in any serious conversation.
He is clearly not serious, and simply disruptive, vulgar and puerile.
Life is far too short to indulge this type of social or civil deviancy.
Good riddance.

I used to, but I realized he is too much of an idiot to take seriously.

Do you know how easy it is to make him look stupid?

Seriously, look at my quote, I make him look stupid every time I post.

yup i stand corrected. it is 9 soon to be 10

Succinct, simple and quite true.

The only issue with this is that he has people (almost) just like him. I think there are 6. LoL

I stopped posting in this section mainly because its just pointless.

Someone that the 6 don't like creates a thread: Let's all post pointless pics that contribute nothing and post tl;dr and then demand a citation.

I'm still trying to figure out why most over here stay and argue around and around when it always ends in you're racist or some hypocritical statement where one side hates the other so much they cannot admit defeat or say by god you're right!

I do lurk over in this section cause honestly even though the conversations are too stupid to reply to, the content and the ignorance that I read makes me feel much smarter than I probably really am.

Totally agree. A lot of us were in the same situations that Padawan and Fogdog are using as an example and managed to work our way out of them but mention how you did it and they will attempt to mock you and attribute your success to "ass kissing"

You should be proud. Im happy for you and wish you the best.

I'm sorry you had to struggle so much.
It was much easier for for me to get an education.

"Back in the day", The Pie sat on a table, and next to the Knife was a Pie server.
I truly hope your children's "Pie" will still have a table to rest on.

don't you cite white supremacists when that time comes?
