Re: good for you for making it but you are so full of bullshit Nighthawk Send a noteboard - 04/04/2013 10:49:14 PM

You chose the wrong profession if you wanted to make money. It was something to do with landscaping right? You probably chose it because you love it. But if not struggling and not being poor was your goal, you would have chosen a better profession. You are very smart and very pretty, a very good combination to have. I know you could easily make money if that's what you wanted!


condescension much? everyone makes the living they can, and i hope you're not suggesting she should use her looks to make money for herself? a modeling career is hard to get into and keep, and most other careers where your looks can make you money are not exactly challenging or respectable.

Maybe you should read the plethora of studies that show attractive people get paid more and get more promotions. Go on, I'll wait.


View original postWhy do they need help? People need to learn how to sink or swim. I had to.


again, good for you. want a cookie? what makes you think that people who have to get food stamps to feed their families are not trying to "swim"? i take this to mean that apparently only you have the secret method to becoming successful after growing up poor, and everyone else who does not follow your exact path to success is just milking the system and a freeloader.

Yes, actually, I do want a cookie. I'm on a diet and I've been jonesing for a cookie. People on foodstamps have made poor choices in life or they wouldn't be on foodstamps. The path to success begins with making smart choices. You have no room to complain if your choices led you to where you are. I would work 3 jobs before getting on fucking foodstamps.

My point was that their family needs to work hard in able to support them. And yes, people can work and be caregivers. I've seen it. Nobody ever said it was easy, but it's possible.


and where does this mythical family get the money to provide for their other family members? not to mention whether or not the person who needs help is going to accept it, or is in a position to accept it. there are homeless people in this country whose families don't want anything to do with them, or who are not even aware that they are alive anymore but want to help. what's your solution to helping them become successful?

People take care of their children all the time, where did they get the money for that? And I have absolutely no sympathy for homeless people. They can't be redeemed. Ther are a blight on society.


View original postYes, anybody can do it! That's the point! But when know they have a safety net, they don't try so hard.


yeah, this is 100% pure bullshit. as wikipedia would say: [citation needed]
