What is currently holding YOU back from success???

[The T]

Typical. One fool or sarcasm about 75k from one person and all the dittoheads run with it. Soon will be on Fox as a OWS demand... Stupidest party of tools of the greedy rich in the modern WORLD. In fact, the ONLY one.

Cops being paid less than a living wage is a GREAT idea. Same with pilots like Flight 3407. You stupid a-holes won't be happy until we're a giant banana republic like Costa Rica. We're already close after 30 years of Voodoo and PFFFFFT W. And I'm retired, JACKAZZ.

People make a choice in their lives to DO what they do? Requires some thought...does it not?

YOU assumedly being a Statist/Liberal are a pro-choicer...NO?

WHY on Earth would you go and DO something that you loathed? And by that question? WHY wouldn't you take time to further your education persuit to BY CHOICE end up doing what you really wanted to?

WHAT is stopping you? Yourself? Self-loathing to where you just give up and demand the Government take care of it because YOU have lost the ability to be a self-determinate person/man/woman?

And WHY should the rest of society bear the brunt of your indecision by Government Force?

By your comments? All *I* see is that YOU have issues...with yourself...and your own choices.

Advice?

GROW UP. Life is rough enough for the rest of us without those of you that cannot make a deccision make our lives as miserable as your own.

WE are sick of it and highly pissed that you wish to take us down with you.

WTF? LOL! I was was paid $1.80 back in '68 and you could actually LIVE on it. Glad you job is still there, but that doesn't make you smart, just fortunate. Arrogant twit. And I'm just fine- but as a Dem I actually follow the issues and try to help my country, not just listen to angry white man Pub BS.

I'm holding myself back of course!! I bought a house in 2005 that was going to be worth less than I paid three years later because I'm too stupid to have ESP or a working crystal ball. My friend is holding herself back by getting laid off because she was too stupid to have a job that isn't shipped overseas. It's all our fault. Of course. Who's fault do you think it is? Stock brokers making risky investments with bad mortgages causing mortgages to be freely handed out because money can be made on them even if they're risky? Nah......it's definitely our own faults. We really need to learn how to see the future better.

 

[LoneLaugher]

Oh.....look. Another thread started by a nutter with a secure job.....who thinks everyone who isn't a nutter is a lazy fuck who won't work. Arrogant ass.

Don't break your arm patting yourself on the back, you self-reliant, hard-working American patriot who did all the right things, you.

 

[LoneLaugher]

BTW....I don't believe you ever worked two jobs.

For you to make a living wage, or get your fair share, or get a good job, or just get whatever it is you think is fair in life, what is stopping you right now?

- Is it lack of education? Colleges are accepting people.
- Lack of a job? Dominoes is hiring. Lots of people are hiring. But it'll be crappy work. However, even at Dominoes, you can make enough to get by and even pay for community college to learn a trade you can use to work.
- Is it a criminal record? Oops. Your fault.
- Is it the refusal to take a job that you feel is below you? Drop the pride.
- Is it debt? Medical? College? Fair enough. Take two jobs. Pay it down. It's gonna suck, but it's possible. You may have to work 2 jobs, 80 hours a week. Wait tables. Bartend. Deliver papers.
- Is it simply pride? Are you too proud to take a crappy job?

I just can't understand how any American can NOT be earning at least $40,000 if they want to. It may require working two jobs, or one job and working in a bar or restaurant at night or weekends. I see the classifieds on Sundays. People are hiring. Willing to wash dishes? YOu can earn $20,000 a year doing that full time, and plenty are looking. Supplement that with a second job, like delivering pizzas at night, or bartending, or driving a cab, or ANY of the many jobs in the classifieds, and you'll probably earn between $30-40,000 before taxes. Get a roommate. Thats a 60-80K combined.

Maybe I"m just not seeing the point. Work is out there for the willing. People can get by. I know people who worked two jobs for a decade or so, in the 80's, 90's, 00's. It's been done for a long long time , until they met enough connections or got enough experience, or paid their way through tech school, to finally land that good job.

I'm just interested. WHAT is holding you or anyone you know back from earning a fair wage?

I dont have government cheese to munch on while I surf porn and play x-box.

And you moan and grown about NO economic freedom?
GEEZ... You NEVER practiced "Duck and cover" did you and you don't know what that means?
I seriously am surprised at what you learned in school but every day from the first I learned what an atom bomb could do.. ALL of us were raised at in the 50s & 60s to wonder "is this the day MAD will occur??
AGAIN you have NO IDEA WHAT "MAD" was do you?
NOT knowing if today your world would be destroyed as you knew it because some guy in Moscow pushed a button!
YOU moan and groan about how bad it was.. YOU never talked to someone that lived during the 30s did you? I DID and to this day I eat my plate clean because MY DAD who lived through the depression made us as kids appreciate food and eat the plate clean! How many times have you done that? I bet very few but like most whiny you never knew what it was like to go to bed HUNGRY!
40 million people have food tonite .. when my Dad was growing up.. people starved every day and now we have moaners who are FAT! UNHEARD of.. look at the OWS and count the FAT people moaning about NOTHING!

Yeah, except the deal has NEVER been more stacked against the Non rich. But thanks for mouthing the BS Pep talk from the bought off pundits...The USA is the only modern country in the world where full time workers live in poverty and have no health care (750k bankruptcies a year, most HAVE insurance - crap insurance!)After 30 years of Voodoo: worst min. wage, work conditions, illegal work safeguards, vacations, work week, college costs, rich/poor gap, upward social mobility, % homeless and in prison. And you complain about the victims? Are you an idiot or an A-hole? Hoping for your recovery...

Go get em Obie! Moohahahahahahahaha!!

College is more expensive. Because demand skyrocketed. Supply vs demand. Same with healthcare.

Eat healthy and workout. Dont be fat. That solves so many healthcare problems.

Education? Degrees are worth so much less these days. It's often times NOT SMART to take out a 40K loan for a worthless degree. Tech or community college, while not nearly as "cool" or "fun", may often be a better choice than a 4 year liberal arts (party time) school. But people CHOOSE that route for some reason (wanna have fun, drink, etc).

I just dont see the things that are blocking success. I see hard work. Of course. But no walls.

I disagree. While I agree any degree in liberal arts is worthless...I have 4-year degree and got a much better job when I got out than my friends who didn't go to college. I also left college owing exactly $0. Mainly because I ran my own business while going to school. It's called not be lazy. People from all works of life don't work: and when somebody isn't working as hard as they can-there's 10 people out there who are.

Pardon me. You went to college for four years, and you think "It's called 'not be lazy'" is a proper sentence?

It's a typo. I obviously left out the "ing". But I'm sure you never make any typos whatsoever.

Your post also reflects your post, and intelligence (if that's in fact what you were trying to allude to), than my own. Literally, all you did in your point was point out a typo I made. You didn't raise any thoughtful insights, and chose to address a grammatical error-ignoring the actual context of my post.

In short: if that's all you got, you really are clueless.


Now let me fill you in on my own personal life experiences (as that's all anybody truly has to go by). Two good friends of mine:

-One is currently in the middle of med-school, has held several jobs
-One didn't get a college degree. Dropped out of community college. Literally has never worked a day in his life, and still lives at home. I asked him a few months ago what he was planning on doing career wise...and his answer was "I don't know....nothing I guess" and laughed.

Take a guess which one supports the OWS, and complains about income inequality.

That's not the first thing you are wrong about and I highly doubt it will be the last.

You keep saying it, but you havent disputed any of the facts that were presented for more opportunities.

There are two things that keep people from their goals 1)Themselves and 2) The government trying to "help" them.

Personally, Im glad the government hasnt managed to take over every aspect of my life.
