    No, no, no. I'm talking about the general populace who seems to think they're currently stripping hundreds of dollars out of their earnings to help someone else they don't care about. That and "My family is more important so this is wrong!" approach to health care. Shallow, selfish, and just disturbing. It's reportedly not even mandated, more of a handout.

    I flat out refused to pay spousal support unless a judge forcibly made me, and even then I don't know what I would have actually done. At the time the amount they wanted me to pay reflected half of my earnings after taxes, and would have left me essentially penniless in terms of finding a place to live/supporting myself.

    Thankfully, she never thought to file for it or didn't know how, because she threatened me with it about 13 months after we split up. She had to file within one year of us separating.

    The Internet failed me in my search for a properly funny "too slow" animated gif.

    It's the thought that counts.

    Think of all the money you'll save when you shoot yourself in the foot, though!

    As long as I stay honorable in service, I won't have to. Shame for the poor sod who does this and is a civilian though

    Well, those particular people probably want work/death camps for all the "undesirables".

    Depends on the jobs. I had a 2nd job for about a year. But after a while it really seemed like it was more trouble than it was worth.

    Well my current one is at a kiosk. I was thinking about getting a second job around the mall/at a store around 5 minutes away to work the opposite shift when possible or something. My family keeps on telling me I should get another one.

    Less sleep, more management, a ton of problems accounting for mishaps during transit, already sounds painful.

    All these nasty socialists want to take our freedoms. What is this, Nazi Germany?

    We should round up all these socialists and throw them into camps where they'll learn the true value of an honest day's work. And we should force everyone to have a job, like, in, say, the military. And if you refuse you should have to go to prison. And we should definitely do something about all these unjust bankers ruining the economy and not supporting our country. Filthy foreign devils who don't support our godfearing ways. No better than garbage.

    If only there was a political party that spoke to me....

    I, for instance, will be going down a chimney on christmas so that knocks about 10 points off Canada's score right there.
