Yup. We're seemingly surrounded by an entitlement-based generation who's lives revolve around instant gratification. It appears as though you and I share an unpopular view in these times..
@TheWizard:
But you see....
I see then as the un- entitled.
I am entitled to every damn thing I earned. Not and then some.
Let the people who breed them and embed this notion into them take care of them.
I'm often asked why I don't work. Lol
I work for myself. I'm a starving artists because everyone wants cheap chinese goods. They killed main street.
Why do I not work outside......
Because some un entitled selfish pos decided to drive knowing he has epilepsy. I was in front and he hit me so hard as to twist the frame of my cargo van.
Did I collect my disability? Nooooo
Did I go on welfare the six months I was flat on my back? Noooooo
Did I even take the food stamps they urged me to get?
Nooooo
Did I take partial social security? Noooooo
I took a sheet of paper and split it. On the left every job I ever did. Ever including shoveling snow at 5. On the right what I love.
I took what savings I had after moving across country knowing no one just four months earlier and bought a thousand dollars worth of beading supplies and started peddling earrings door to door, office to office, bar to bar.
I'm a job creator when I need. I don't take anything for free.
Even yesterday, that biker chick did my lawn for me cause she saw me in distress. She wouldn't hear me say no and wanted no money. A bottle of jack it was.
When people start to realize your responsibility for you lies with yourself, then maybe things will change.
Ya poo in it, ya need to scrub the pot.
