OMG it is already starting. On my FB feed I am seeing people already asking for gifts for Christmas for their kids.
 
Come on, there is time to get a part time job and save up money. I may not like giving up my weekends and today for a few hours at a job but I enjoy putting that money away for what I choose.
 
Of course who wouldn't want things for free but that isn't fair is it?
 
Time to purge my facebook feed again, not in the mood to see begging.
 
 
@Stealth83:
 
What kind of friends do you have that even ask for that?
 
That being said whatever happened to pride? Ya know having a job and working your rear end off to make it work? I mean really it's not that difficult. This kind of crap is what ticks me off to no end! 4951

People ask on FB?  That would be a sure fire way for me not to give the gift.  I was taught not to ask unless someone asked us what we wanted... 4951

It is friends of friends posting "wants" and the oh my kids would love this if someone could buy for us and my favorite was someone posting a link to their target want list.
 
The stories are usually versions of the same - my kids shouldn't suffer because I cant afford all they want. Blah blah blah.
 
One even went so far as to post a go fund me link on the story about the donations for the slain officer and commented that other people need money too and the family should donate some of the funds they are recieving. N
 
The greed of some people, the selfishness is disgusting.
 
@Stealth83:
 
Yes absolutely disgusting! 4951

We have morphed into a country of takers instead of a country of workers and earners.
 
Even our government is catering to those with their hands out. It has become much worse during the current administration because his party thinks catering to and preying on the poor is a way to become and stay a career politician and remain in office.
 
They don't want intelligent, free-thinking, self-sufficient constituents because they question and investigate. They much prefer the blind, following sheeple, who will continue to follow as long as they continue to receive their "entitlements". 4951

@friday1: I am with you there. I started my first job at 12 throwing newspapers to be able to get a new bike. Has not stopped from there. Burger King and Pizza Hut paid my way through college.

That is just unbelievable.  I would NEVER do something like that, too proud.  Save and get it yourself or do without, that is what I was taught.  Social media is just disgusting like this.  Much like the people (probably the same) who post when they do wrong and want support (ie. dress codes at school, problems at work, etc).  Your problems are not everyone elses responsibility.  When I taught and coached in colleges I would tell my kids all the time "your lack of planning does not constitute an emergency on my part.".  Kids were always saying "can I skip class/practice/an event/ect. because I have a huge paper due"  And I would ask "when is it due? (tomorrow) And how long did you know about this? (since the beginning of the year).  And yet you waited until today to start on it? (yes).  Then no, you are not excused".  4951
