Oh bullshit. I have my Diploma, my line of work is tough and nobody sticks around for too long. Its just the way it is. I plan on going to college and going into my real career which is IT or computer programming. I've tried the low level entry jobs working on computers, but cooking is a hell of a lot better than that entry level computer crap and it pays the same. I can at least keep my sanity when I'm cooking unlike when I'm working on a computer with some jackass telling me the cookies are what make the computer work. :doh:

I know exactly what I'm talking about. Maybe someday I will write a throughout report on the subject but I feel it will be a waste of time because after all that work I will get replies about tinfoil.

My views on this fall somewhere between extreme left and right wing views. On what basis do you claim to know them ?

You don't care

It is true that I have a lot more money than you, and a lot more security in my life, so I see any 'conspiracy' as external to myself, because I am well off. But, just because you're not doing well, doesn't mean it's anyone else's fault.

Then why is this thread so long ?

As opposed to a thorough one ?

If you make as little sense as these videos, I am sure you will.

A lot of cash is also removed from circulation and destroyed when it becomes physically damaged.

So as long as you have money in the bank its OK for whatever organization or government to do as they please? With high amounts of inflation coming our way that money in the bank will only buy half of what it could have bought.

AFAIK, they are printing money like crazy right now to pay for the bailout.

No, but so long as I own my home, can buy anything I like and know I will never be hungry, I am less likely to feel discontent and look for other people to blame for my own helplessness. Because I am one of those pacifists, I actually care about how society cares for people less well off than me, with the corollary that I expect people to be willing to work to improve their situation, if they want a hand up. So, I am not disinterested in the plight of others. I just meant that I am happy with my lot, and therefore not disposed to believe crackpot theories that let me blame others for my circumstance.

Again, I'm not looking to blame my problems on other people.

So you end up voting for more welfare which makes things worse. See you don't look into the details. You have to pay close attention to politics because they have an agenda that they don't want to tell you about and they are certainly paying close attention to you (as in all people).

No, on aggregate, I believe we have too much welfare and would vote for less. I do think we need reforms when it comes to the conditions of unskilled workers such as yourself, however. See how you assume stuff about me and get it wrong ?

This again shows that you're predisposed to believe they are all out to get you. Do they have an agenda ? Of course they do, but I doubt it's anywhere near as sinister as you seem to imply.

Thats what you do on every reply to me. See we are just alike.

ROPFL !!! well, that may be true, you've posted roughly the same thing here for so long that I have some pretty strong preconceived ideas about you.
