philosophy

So after a long and disappointing game (I was rooting for the Vikings, MN is my birthplace and Favre is my boy regardless of criticism). I started thinking about things that are unrelated to the NFL. Mainly lazy bitchy people. But a few people came into my mind that ask for help (or don't) that need it whether or not they realize it, but seem unable to come out of slumps. I believe their problem is this. "you cannot help someone who cannot help themselves".

Meaning, if someone can't pay their heating bill, paying it for them will not help if they get a tattoo with their next paycheck. If someone can't afford to get their car fixed, fixing it or paying to have it fixed for them will not help if they spend 200+ dollars a month on cigarettes. The people you see come out of slumps, financial burdens, whatever are the people who pinch their pennies. Meaning, if you can't afford to pay a bill you sure as shit don't go get a worthless tattoo with money you owe other people, or can pay a past due bill with. If you can't pay someone back that you have owed money to for almost a year (yes, they owe me money) how the flying fuck can you afford a $50 dollar pedicure when you owe me $90 and no one sees your feet but you. Then go to a bar 2 nights in a row... You want to know why people are in debt? Because they feel sorry for themselves and spend money to make themselves feel better. Regardless if it's a tattoo that they think will make them look better or feel more confidant. A pedicure, getting drunk/having fun to "forget" their problems. Smoking when they are "stressed" about a bill they can't pay BECAUSE THEY BOUGHT THE CIGARETTES.

Guess what, you don't see people who are broke complain because they cannot buy food. You see people bitch because they buy shit they don't need because they are broke. Prove me wrong, I dare you. I have more than once lived off of Ramen Noodles and ham and wheat sandwiches with the last 10 dollars I had to last me 15 days. If I can do it, so can you. Stop bitching and suck it up. Yes, it sucks to be poor. It sucks to be hungry, it sucks to wear dirty clothes, it sucks to be cold, it fucking sucks to be broke, homeless (oh yes, I've been their) it sucks to be in debt. It isn't what you do in debt, it's what you do to get out of it. Stop acting like this once wonderful country of ours owes you something and get a fucking job.

Buy what you NEED not what you want or what makes you feel better. Get a handle on yourself and quit asking for bailouts, loans, and handouts. Shit happens to EVERYONE. Not just people who work at McDonald's to scrape by, but to CEO's. Not just to immigrants or 3rd world countries, but to born and bred Americans. Quit feeling sorry for yourself. Guess what, if you live in a state that pays you for recycling, go collect bottles if you don't have a job because each one is 5 cents you didn't have. I don't care how degrading it is, there are people that do FAR worse for the same amount (if not less) money in this country and outside of it.

You my friend (and I promise you) are NOT too "good" to pick up bottles, are NOT too "good" to work in fast food, are NOT too good to eat macaroni and cheese every night for however long it takes to get on your feet. There are far too many people wasting my (and your) tax dollars bitching about lack of jobs when there are "help wanted" signs in mcdonalds ON a bus route, you don't even need gas! I see a woman that works mornings at McDonalds and nights at Mohegan, she was not born in this country, may not have a high school diploma, but works 2 (at minimum) jobs to simply be in this country. This country FULL of opportunity, full of promise and a better life. That's how great we once were. Then we have people with degrees bitching and complaining expecting things to get better when they aren't "doing all they can" to get buy.

Well, you know what I have to say to that? Fuck you. Plain and simple. It is the same for poor and rich. If you want it, you do WHATEVER IS NECESSARY to get it. Whether you scrape by or make millions those people put in work. Get off your lazy ass. I do not feel bad for you. Not even for a half a second. There are people who eat out of dumpsters to stay alive (regardless of why they do it) and you complain because you cannot afford to eat out. Or because you cannot afford more than Ramen. You make me sick and don't deserve anything better.

With all that said I promise that the ONLY people who will be affended by this post (if anyone even reads it...) are people who I describe. Not the poor ones who truly do what they can, but the ones who are lazy, think they are too good, and rely on other people. Prove me wrong. I am up for the challenge.

Sorry for the rant/poor grammar. See you soon...



PS/EDIT stop getting pregnant! you can get free birth control or condoms with our hard earned tax dollars! If you can't afford to live on your own, get prophylactics or stop fucking. Either is WAY cheaper than a baby.
