Ok I'm dealing with a bunch of sh1t right now in my own real life I don't need some crap from someone on Internet who doesn't want to tell me the damn difference between something or what the hell he's talking about.
And I'm not sure if you're from a different country or not but many of our sayings are different from yours but still mean the same damn thing.
And maybe dur dur dur I have no idea what you're talking about because I don't live in finland dur dur dur.
God I'm so sick of people wanting to be equal but they keep segregating themselves.
I mean instead of being a jerk why don't you just tell me what you mean because it takes just as long to be an @sshole as it does to explain something.
If it was that simple and in front of me someone who doesn't get things like me would get it then right?
I mean unless your just talking and really have no idea what you're even talking about and want to say such simple answers because you really don't know and just wanted to sound condescending.

So, in Finland there are people who pretend to be posers? Um... Isn't that a poser by definition, to pretend to be something you're not? Whether it's intentional or not, they're still posing, so there really is no difference.

Ya know, I understood what you were saying to a degree until now. That doesn't make sense. You're running in circles.

For some reason this sounds a lot like cosplaying...

This kind of stuff really makes me angry. There are people out there who genuinely need the benefits system and it gets exploited by losers who just can't be bothered to get a job.

Take my sister in law. After treatment for a second bout of leukemia, her husband left her and her two wayward kids. She has no energy to discipline her unruly children because she has been so sick; she can't work because she is still too ill, but her incapactiy benefits are restricted because she has an imcomplete NIC (National Insurance Contributions) record. Whereas he next door neighbour is unemployed just because he can't find work, but unemployment benefits are not dependent of NICs and he sits on his arse all day. The system is up the sh*t hole. Meanwhile, I work hard, full time, and the government take 11% of my pay as NICs which pays for the plonker to have Sky TV, with nothing going to my poor sister in law who really needs help and has no choice in the matter. UGH!!!

Before anyone gets angry, I'm not saying that all people on unemployment benefits are losers - just certain individuals. My complaint is that incapacity benefits are dependent on NICs whereas unemployment benefits are not. Obviously this is specific to the UK.

I agree I had become very ill recently and couldnt even leave my home every litle movement made me ill i was ill for 3 months finally i went to the ER after waiting 8 hours to get into see a dr. they couldnt find anything wrong with me.
I've been trying to get atleast some small help with paying my med bills but allas they deny me every single time I try.
Yet my wacko sister who has a baby gets it because she got knocked up and runs to the hospital anytime the baby so much as coughs...talk about system abuse.

It must be awful if they can't find anything wrong with you, because the longer it takes them to find it, the longer they have to look, the longer you have to wait for treatment, the poorer you get whilst your money runs out cos you can't work. That totally sucks, Putrescent. I hope you are on the mend.

Are you in America? I don't know what the system is like there, but what you describe would easily happen here. They pay out for every child you have!! There is a culture here (can't speak for anywhere else) where young teenage girls intentionally get themselves pregnant in order to claim benefits and get out of working and the benefits system just encourages them to do so: they get child benefit, child tax credit, unemployment benefits (there are lots of different ones under this category) and a council house. The benefits system here was developed post war when things were really tough, and it served a good purpose then, but in my opinion it needs a radical shake up. At the moment it allows people to not take responsibility for themselves, and continues to victimise the people who really need it and it is all funded by the people who do work, who delay having kids to build up savings etc.

Ooh, I'm sounding like a socialist b*tch. I'm not really. I just get so angry when people abuse the system, and even angrier that they are allowed to get away with it at the expense of those who work hard.

I hear ya. Here in America that happens a lot. Sure most of the people on welfare and such need it and don't like being on welfare but there are select few that just keep havin' kids and refuse to get a job so that they can get benefits.

We also have plenty of teenage girls that get knocked up on purpose but it's not encouraged. Sure, they get help but not that much... at least not to my knowledge. Almost every single teenage mother I know works and at least trys to go and finish school. And I'm from Paris, IL and that town even beats big cities like Chicago in teens pregnancy rates. And Paris is a tiny town... and I mean tiny. I mean, there isn't a damn thing to do in Paris. We have a tiny movie theater that has only two screens, and... umm... oh, we have a Wal-Mart. Besides the lake, those two places are THE places to hang out at... unless you decide to hang out in a bar parking lot to laugh at drunks. Oh, we also have lots and lots of meth heads.

This thread was made in order to discuss this man's situation, not who lives in the most retarded/backward corner of the globe or for people to post their right-wing views about immigrant or welfare benefits. I highly doubt Rob had that in mind when starting this thread. But then, knowing him...
